Did Rubles even play that first half? If he did, he might as well not because he has been m.i.a too. His game, and SK's game must be partying for NYE together.
 
I want to see some posting up from Cincinnati's bigs in the second half. Hammer it into the paint, then have the bigs keep the ball above their shoulders and look for the open man. If they're offensively anemic, then at least use them to spread the floor and draw some defensive assignments. Something from the bigs, please.
 
Knight sounds negative because we are playing poorly and he hates our offense. Saying he is an idiot is absurd.

Rubles was pulled in the 1st after 2 quick fouls.
 
It's nothing new, this team struggles in the half-court offense. When we have stupid fouls, miss open shots, and don't cause turnovers the team will struggle to generate offense.

Mbodj is better than Gaines at this point - it's slight but Mbodj has some semblance of an offensive game.

The last few games, SK has taken too many shots now he's not shooting enough.
 
frustrating game..can't seem to get that one little run we need to go ahead. Hopefully they keep it close and some things go our away as time goes down!

You can't pound the post when your bigs have no post game. Just can't do it. If they could score don't you think we would have worked the post the first 13 games? They'd probably get it stolen anyway if we try to have them pass out of the post too.

You completely missed the message of my post. They can still be used to spread the floor and draw defenders.

Of course he's not an idiot. But this is Big East basketball and a game with 22 fouls at halftime. This game has not been physical enough to warrant that number.

Just gotta make free throws now.

love how tr and sk attack the basket this half. the d is nasty.

I agree! I hate that Titus looked so gassed after his and one. If they play that zone, Titus should be getting the ball at the elbow and taking it to the hoop every time. Hopefully our defense stays strong. We need them the most this last 7 min.
