Jimmy V Classic

If that wasn't a UC win, I don't know what is.

Clearly you're misunderstanding me. I agree he is not that great; however, comparatively speaking, he played a good game tonight.

I agree, compared to how bad he normally is, it was better. Still terrible though. Oh, and the foul on the 3 point shooter. Just just isn't a good player and I still think they need to focus on their younger guys. KJ and Thomas have to get the lions share of minutes against some of these lesser opponents. Those two have potential, Sanders has no potential whatsoever.

Big win. 0-3 would have been a tough stretch to bounce back from and this should give us confidence going forward. This is a good resume win. Middle Tennessee and Nebraska should be good RPI wins this season and heading into the conference schedule at 12-2 is about what I expected preseason anyway. This team will improve throughout the year; we just have to deal with the growing pains.

Big win for the kids. They played hard for 40 minutes.

Wow
Who posted the football score earlier in a post
Right on

Defense wins championships. Pitt averages 82 a game, Mick's defense holds them to 43. UC wins!

I liked what TC brought this game. He was shaky the 1st half and had a great 2nd half. A timely 3, a good drive to the basket drawing a foul and his defensive rebound off that missed FT at the end was huge! Love his upside.

UC's offensive rebounding was impressive. Can we get that every game?

 

[WAITE HOYT 2]

but he isn't playing limited minutes. He is playing starters minutes.

foul trouble dictates a lot. JL has a tough time staying on the floor which is common for freshmen. JJ is another guy who sits because of fouls.

Agreed, but foul trouble hasn't been dictating Sanders minutes. And Lawrence has been in foul trouble but it doesn't matter against some of the cupcakes. He should have been playing much more earlier on. The guy has talent, it's time to develop that talent.

 

[WAITE HOYT 2]

A old coach once said, defense never takes a night off. Your shot may not be falling on any given night but the effort required to play defense should always be there.

love the future of JL just wish he had about 30 more pounds on his frame.

Holy Sheit! So ugly but dang I am happy. Nice to see SK get to the glass at the end. That was the game changer!

He's the ONLY game changer we have. Calling him out is ridiculous...we don't have ANY other go to guy. He gets the MAX attention of every other team on D. Blindly saying he should be able to take over a game when we have little else is just complete BS. He's trying to get off shots under extreme duress...he has nothing to compliment him.

Stop getting on SK's case for never having big games...it's complete BS....every game is a big game for SK...if he didn't score when he did...we would have lost.

 

[UCBearcats]

Like I said, Mick's teams always find a way to calm down the mob. Good win for the Cats tonight but this team needs to find a way to score some buckets because you aren't gonna win many games when you score 43 points.

 

[L-T]

Ugly, ugly win, but a win nonetheless. Very ironic that the player who would have been blamed for the loss had it happened, hits the game winner. His play in those last couple minutes was just atrocious. If we continue to hold teams 40 below their average, we'll be fine. One key word describes tonights game....EFFORT!!!!! It won us this basketball game. Outstanding effort!

 

[mdchick]

I like guyn, but I love TC, I really hope his shoulder is ok, he does look like a freshman at times, but he is going to be a really good pg by the time his career here is over.

Who would have been blamed? Rubles for the bad shot? Other than the bad shot his play wasn't bad the last few minutes. Unless you are talking about someone else.

You obviously didn't read what I wrote before. He deserves to be called out if he is just going to float and shoot 3's. He isn't helping the team shooting bad shots and doing a disservice to himself. He needs to be a scorer and get to the basket. Which he did late in the game and it made the difference.

 

[newguy]

I new we would pull it out in madison square but ST JS GG terriable I hate the way our bench is rotated and we have to do a better job !

 

[newguy]

I will take the win! Go Cats

You obviously don't understand what I think SK means to this team. You obviously don't understand how hard it is to be the SOLE focal point of a D and then STILL somehow find a way to IMPACT a game.
