Bellarmine Exhibition

Get Clark on the block and let him work. If he bleeds out to the three point line for a wide open three then so be it, but he's most effective on the block.

What a joke. It's in an article about tonight's game on the enquire and I cant make a comment that we lost an exhibition game in 1995. That's too funny, from all the threads that get off topic and what people say.

I agree with Jake. Put it as a stat, fine. Put it as a comment to elicit negative and derailing responses, and then there is a problem.
 
Besides the overall game making my eyes bleed, there were a couple positives.

Quadri looked under control on offense.
Jenifer moved so much better side to side on D.
Scott can eat up some minutes because of his D.

Rebounding was awful.
We got killed on screens.
Absolutely zero post play.
 
11/22 (offense/defense) Bellarmine to UC's 7/19 against D2 shouldnt happen. Cronin better be on them about it.

But KJ did save us an embarrassing loss. Huge 3 then right after the drive to the hoop to basically seal it

No such thing as an embarrassing loss. Exhibition games mean absolutely nothing and coaches shouldn't even be thinking about winning vs. losing. They should be testing things out and getting new players some PT so they can get a better evaluation of them.
 
Great win tonight guys

Jj is reckless( not very good)
Kj is still horrible
Clark doesn't want to play bearcat basketball
Washington doesn't know how to play defense
No post game
 
I have to stop and realize what you all are saying. It was obvious Cronin was not coaching this like a regular season game. Not one time out called IIRC.

I was worried when Cumberland was late getting out to the shooter on a 3 and Cronin jumped up off the bench and sent a sub to the scorers table. Second half he let players stay in in spite of mistakes, and I think giving Cumberland that extra pt with some room for error helped. Hopefully that was coach learning from his mistakes with JJ last year.

I am hoping to see a far better product on the court next Friday. Go Bearcats!!
 
Did we have a post move tonight? I like that we have shooters 1-5 but we can't abandon the post...it will kill us.

I'm glad we had our so called returning bench players winning this game for us. We know our studs will be there when we need them. I'm concerned about Washington. He got burnt a couple times and shot some early 3s.

I thought Cumberland actually played well outside of missing shots and being out of control a couple times. He has a knack for the ball and his shot is as quick as Darnell Burton...the fastest shot I can remember in a Bearcats uniform.

Thank you Quadri and Jenifer and KJ. KJ played a great defensive game tonight.
 
KJ, Quadri, JJ, Cumberland scored 75 percent of our points tonight. It's exhibition so I will take that as a positive.

Paint points and rebounding were horrendous! Our stars were not impressive but we know what they can do.

JJ and KJ played well tonight. Clark was defensive poy last year. I agree about your last two comments.

Did you see Bellarmine defense? It was 5 guys in the box daring us to shoot 3s. Bellarmine Is #1 and #3 in preseason polls for a reason.

Bellarmine would blow away brown and hold its own with Albany. This game is what we needed from an exhibition game

JJ couldn't carry TC's jockstrap last year regardless how much Mick played him. Not even close. Regardless of his defense.

Caupain - 2 for 5, 0-for from 3, 3 turnovers, 4 points 5 assists, poor defense

Jennifer - 2 for 3 from two, 2 for 3 from three, 0 turnovers, 12 points, 3 assists, good defense.

Who can't carry who's jockstrap?

Really!!!! A exhibition game!!!!! Lol!! Was at the game and really liked JJ and Quadri's effort. Thought the best the team looked was when both of them were in the game. Biggest difference was both didn't force things and let the game come to them. The work both put in this off season was very evident. Moore looked like a completely different person. JJ also lost weight. From lastnight's game I don't think it's far fetched to think JJ and TC will be on the floor together a bit more then people originally thought. Really hope both continue to improve.

Thought KJ flashed. . Cumberland will need time to grow. Lots of freshman mistakes. Clark blocked some shots but really wasn't a factor offensively. Will be interesting to see how Evans fits in. I thought Moore outplayed Washington in the middle.
 
What if I told you it all started with a hair cut. Next on ESPN's 30 for 30, the Quadri Moore (Baby Sheed) Story.
 
Baby Sheed!! I love it. This needs to grow with the students.

If you notice on the post game comments by Mick, he directly indirectly calls out Troy. Someone asked coach about why Troy only took like 5 shot attempts.

Coach's response: I am disappointed in our veterans. Some guys acting like we are too cool to play hard since we are picked to win the league etc etc.

When have we heard this before? Lol. Every time we have any preseason recognition, our players follow up with a lazy performance.
 
In two weeks from now, no one will even remember this game. Couldn't tell you what the score was last year. It will get better.
