Barring injury or other unforeseen problems I do think this team could be Mick's best. It looks like we have depth /size/talent and chemistry,the one thing that worries me is almost always a problem with the bearcats - free throw shooting. Last year Brooks- Scott and Jenifer were terrible. Jacobs-Clark- Washington-and Cumberland were average at best,who is going to be able at the end of tight games to go to the line and nail 2 ft's?

Most likely Jacob is the guy you want at the line. Don't trust Cumberland at the line til he proves he can be more consistent. Maybe Broome but nerves might get him at first til he is use to playing in big games.

He missed 3 FT on Sunday but I think him, cane and jarron should be fine at the line. Kyle looked to have a little less back spin
 
I went back and looked at the UC losses and Jacob Evans was 18/23 on ft's that's less than 4 attempts per game average. That includes 9 attempts vs. UCLA, in the other losses he attempted 0-2-3-4-5 ft's. To me that is way too few for a star player. Would love to see him getting 8-10 attempts per game.

I wonder how many devices you can use per account. I'd buy it and split it with some people if we can pull that off.

Even the finals will be on that???
 
Did anyone post this yet?

They have Evans at #43 and Clark at #57

LiAngelo Ball doing not very big baller things in China w/ 2 other UCLA freshmen. All 3 were arrested.
 
First bracketology is out, and they have UC as a 3 seed already. So much for the cap at 4. This isn't a usual bearcats team where if we just work really hard we might get somewhere. We ARE going somewhere this year, and I'm not saying we shouldn't work hard I just mean our talent level is so much greater than in the past. No only do us as fans see it, but everyone is seeing it.i don't know if there is a team in the country with a better starting five than us. We win some big games this year no reason we can't end up as a two seed. I don't see us getting a one unless we lose like a single game, but I really believe a 2-4 is most likely for the cats this year.

Well don’t count on these meaningless early brackets having any real impact. None of them projected UC with a 6 seed and playing out west, and yet the committee decided that’s what we were.

I don’t trust the committee at all

There is a p6 bias. Gonzaga was the only non power league team to get a protected seed even though WSU, SMU and UC all finished with 30 wins.


Winning is the only way to force their hand. and even then, I think they cap out our ceiling because we don't play in a "power" league.

and what makes it even worse is how many truly bad teams we play that will hurt our on Paper SOS. I'm going to guess last years non conference SOS is going to be better than this years. but our in conference SOS will be better.


Also, we absolutely need to win the Cayman island tournament or I think the perception of our team could quickly change.

Until proven otherwise, I don't believe this committee gives any AAC a fair shake. We have no one in it that represents our league
