Fast Breaking by UC

[swg]

UC is THE worst team I've seen run the fast break since I was in HS.

My two cents MC...point of emphasis during all practices this year.
(as well as keeping Gates inside the paint on offense, not on top)


Your welcome.

Cash and SK are the only two that can run a fast break. Larry Davis is AWFUL!! He took a 7 foot floater with a 3 on 1 fast break? Are you kidding me?

 

[swg]

That was it, but it has happened repeatedly this year. They don't pass correctly, bad spacing, just bad.

davis has no fundamentals, and unfortunately never really has...i appreciate his time and efforts in helping to rebuild the program, but moving forward i do not see Cronin bringing in any guards that cannot pass or dribble...

well said...this team is playing great right now and I love it!

I do care, especially when the half court offense goes through lapses.

However, tonite...it's a great win! Hats off to Cronin, when the D smothers a solid team.

The fast break definitely will be a concern come the tournament. It is too difficult for the Bearcats to score in the half court, so they'll need those points.

But for tonight, who cares??

Bill Koch... is that you?!!!


We just smacked Georgetown in the mouth- repeatedly- in their house!!!

Sunday should be a CRAZY environment for UCONN.

You just gave me the greatest idea EVER!! I should start a thread titled, "Write Bill Koch's Headline." I bet we could come up with some doozies.

I know there are a few guys over at BCL that are really fed up with his spin on things and the mods are actually getting upset with them. I understand the fact that they're all sort of a part of the same media group so they have to protect their own, but in my opinion Koch deserves every ounce of criticism sent his way.

In my opinion UC DESERVES a beat writer that will cover them in a way that will promote the program. I understand that isn't his job, his job is simply to cover the team (and sell papers (get hits)) but I look at what the Xavier beat writer writes on a weekly basis for XU and I wonder what it would be like to have that for our 'Cats.

Maybe it's simply the consequence of covering a rebuilding program for as long as he has that has made him cynical. How long has he been the beat writer for the 'Cats for the Enquirer?

I don't know how long he has been in that position but I can't remember the last time I read something that wasn't a slam on the program or a backhanded compliment. I am sure his headline will be something to the effect of "UC Beats Georgetown But Only Scores 58." LOL

Hey F.....rs. This team's half court offense scares me.

Our D did a great job tonite, but that doesn't change what I see at times.

Ignoring crap doesn't make it better. However, I love the intensity. The fact they didn't fold and give up the lead.
Hell, not letting the number 11 team get a FG in over 10 min is nuts.
It's a great day to be a Bearcat.

I love Bearcat talk.


You know it's all in good fun swg!!!


I agree the half court offense is certainly still shaky at times, but, at this point in the season there's not much that can be done (by any team). You are who you are at this point. UC is one hell of a defensive team that relies on great depth and balanced scoring to put them over the top. Cash is a wild card though. If he continues to improve personally the half court offense will continue to improve. When he is able to get into the lane it creates a lot of good looks within the flow.

 

[swg]

Nope...this is Bishop...and I DID call the bank shot on that 3 pointer.

MONEY!!!!!

Well played, sir.

 

[TheLivingLegend]

Our half court offense is not very good. I dont like our scheme... but thats just me.

I have always stated Micks two assistants, one should be purely offensive minded and the other should be a pure motivator.

What a great win tonight, the defense played exceptional.

I was thinking tonite how MC could use an offensive minded assistant. One that knew rotation, spacing, fundamentals......BOBBY KNIGHT!

It shows that mentally they have become tougher and play thru their shortcomings. It shows that they can win in spite of the shortcomings. Even on the road. They aren't pretty, but they are effective in what matters most...winning.
