Attendance was on the decline in Huggs last 4 seasons.

As was the quality of the teams.

I have been very happy for Larry Davis this season. He's taken so much grief from the fans and all he's done is play very good defense and shoot lights out so far. He was the catalyst last night. Good for you Larry!

I'll agree with this. I was as hard as anyone on him and Wilks at the start of the season. They both have earned their minutes and are giving us 100% hustle all the time. They still make mistakes, but I'm glad Mick has found the right mix for them and they have accepted their roles and for the most part are playing within themselves.

I agree with you guys. I have been the harshest critic of Davis, and kind of a Wilks apologist. The TYZ is correct in giving Cronin props for finding the right mix with this team. Davis has more than surprised me this year. The energy he brings to the floor alone, is a catalyst for this team. Wilks is starting to play more physical. His dunk gave me a flash back to the Helicopter and White. The most impressive play by Wilks was not his dunk in my opinion. The play where he saved the ball from going out of bounds, and Dixon gave it back to him on the baseline was a great play. The broadcaster for Espn3 said it perfect with "using the jump stop, Wilks covered ten feet"(not verbatim obviously). That move, another example of Wilks ability and athleticism, created so much space, I dont know if anyone can cover him on a play like that. Dixon is getting better with every game. More fluid, and more confident. This team is exciting to watch. The defense is setting the tempo, very similar to the good old days.
I am going to keep saying it...this season could be special.
Go Bearcats!
