Eastern Illinois

[Bearcatmatt]

This is probably one of the ugliest games I've seen in a long time. Moore looks awful.

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

Too many turnovers...

That is an understatement. Moore looks so bad along with everyone else who isn't named Caupain. Our entire team looks so lethargic.

 

[UCalum08]

Holy crap. Caupain just went off on his teammates before Shaw's free throw.

 

[jacobkdoyle]

Not a very fun game to watch.

 

[jacobkdoyle]

These refs are really bad. I don't normally worry a whole lot about officiating but my God.

 

[Bearcatmatt]

That game was horrible.

For a little perspective, the 2011 Bearcats did lose to Presbyterian...and then went to the Sweet 16. But still, this was an awful game to watch.

 

[BCM]

Besides our offense being pretty poor. These refs are some of the worst I've seen in awhile. I would rather have Timmy Higgins. That is saying something.

Hey, you watch your mouth.

I know it's early and this team is young, but I would have thought for sure we would blow out at least one of these first three teams on pure talent alone. I hope they have a more impressive showing soon or else I'm going to start wondering if this team isn't quite as talented as originally believed. Our next 3 games are against tougher competition, and I would hate to start the season 3-3.

Anyone else at the game hear Caupain scream at his teammates before Shaqs ft?! I was in the student section and he went off. It was do quiet everyone noticed it. I loved it.

His teammates suck right now. I'd go off too.

Caupain is awesome.

This team is not very good right now.... Need someone to emerge as a scorer

The Good
Caupain 17 points 6 boards
The Bad
1 assist 4 TO 0 FTA

The Good
Ellis 13 boards 4 blocks
The bad
He needs to learn that he can't block everything.

The Good
Clark had 8 boards 3 assists 1 steal 2 blocks. Also has gotten a few tie ups in the last couple games. Good to see him mixing it up.
The Bad
Just 4 points on 4 shots in 22 minutes

The Good
Shaq and Sanders combined for 16 points and Shaq was more aggressive.
The Bad
Shaq had 5 TO and Sanders shot 1 3PT FG.

The Good
Defense continues to play well overall. We held them to under 30% shooting. We rebounded very well.
The Bad
More empty minutes at the 2 as KJ was o-5 from 3 and missed a big front end of a 1 and 1. Cobb was 0-5 from the floor. 19 turnovers, don't need to say anything else about that. We struggled to get anything consistent on the inside in halfcourt offense. Moore is really having a tough time right now.

 

[Bearcatmatt]

Looks like Cobb's 24 points last game was an aberration. The kid can shoot, but looking at how bad our guards played I think VCU will give us fits. Caupain passed the ball to Shaq at half court a few times and he turned the ball over. A guard should never pick up his dribble there...especially since Shaq had a guy on him. We also need more high/low action. UC has some size, but it seemed like guys were catching the ball in the wrong spots.

Great breakdown man. The only thing I would add from my observations would be how bad Kevin Johnson played. He was pretty brutal. Too add to Moore, he looked terrible. He plays so stiff looking. He needs to learn how to rebound with authority.

Eastern Illinois watched film from our last game they were face guarding Cobb and denying him the ball, he could have score if not for that.

great breakdown. i think you would have seen better production out of the Sanders/Shaq duo had the minutes been reversed. I think this team needs about 25 minutes from Sanders each night. it would reduce the number of turnovers and add a guy that can actually make shots.

 

[Doodie]

Seems like one of those games you erase from your memory and move on to Tuesday. I know it might be hard to do that but hopefully they respond to their coach.

 

[jacobkdoyle]

Who decides which players do the postgame press conference?
