The regular season is over, let’s hand out of some grades:

Non conference: C-
Conference play: B
Defense: B (at times it was A level, others it was C- or worse)
Offense: B+
Effort/Heart/toughness: C+ (last 5 min of games : A+,)

Overall: B-

3 losses separated this from being a decent season to an outstanding one.
 
From a player perspective:

Jarron: B+ (not outstanding, even in scoring slumps, created for others)
Trevon: A+ (had high hopes for Tre, and still exceeded them)
Keith: B+ ( played well for the most part, still needs to be more consistent)
Jaevin: B (hit a lot huge shots for us, absolutely essential, defense was never consistent)
Vogt: B+ (he has been bad lately, but he exceeded expectations )
Diarra: B ( has the potential, just needs more experience)
McNeal: D+ ( if he can shoot, pass, & play defensive on just a B- level, I doubt we lose so many games)
MAW: B ( never does too much, plays within himself. Still unsure of long term potential )
Harvey: C+ (ankle injury slowed his progress but has yet to play consistent, not living up to expectations yet)
Davenport: C ( not a lot of minutes, energy guy, high floor low ceiling in my opinion)

Regular season champions-A+

A++

-1 seed in conference tournament
-Jarron hasn't been 100% all year
-Multiple players transferring out before the start of the season.
-Multiple players transferring in.
-New coaching staff
-New coach
-New coach dealing with the illness and death of his father.

Myself and three buddies stopped and got some beer and wings before the Temple game and we got to talking. Justin you have single handedly made this site unreadable.

I'll just leave this right here, https://csnbbs.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=404

Are you saying that you and 3 buddies talked about me while eating chicken wings?

That’s weird

“The regular season never mattered” crowd suddenly loves the regular season.

I always loved the regular season. The conference tournament is also awesome. I wouldn’t be on here everyday if I didn’t love the whole season. I would just like more in the NCAA tournament. Think both can be true

Disagree with grades on:

Jarron C+ May have been injured but that shouldn't affect his Ast/TO rate ie. lazy passes, cut down 2-3 TO's a game and we possibly win a few more games. If he knew how much time was on clock UC would have 3 more W's.

Jaevin C+ Probably my biggest disappointment this season. Aside from 3-4 games he was very pedestrian. IMO we need him to score at least 10 points/game moving forward to win

Vogt C+ Has been basically non factor since the new year

MAW - A- To rely on a Frost starting is asking a lot, IMO he has been solid. He plays within himself and framework of offense

I can agree with most of those adjustments.

I graded Vogt with expectations in mind and how he performed for a good bulk of the year.

He played like our best player when Jarron was struggling.

Probably would MAW up to B+. He’s been good, stable and reliable. And without him we’d be screwed as McNeal just hasn’t been good at all
 
I guess I’d be a whole lot happier about being co-champs if we were a lock to make the tourney.


It just feels weird to be excited about it and still not be a lock for the post season.

I think that’s the real question.

Would you rather Win the league but miss the tourney or would you rather finish 2nd or 3rd in the league but be a lock for the tourney before the AAC tourney starts ?


Some people are grading the season an A+++ so I know their answer. They just want to say they won something.

But I’d take 2nd or 3rd and a stress free AAC tourney personally

Wrong.
 
This was the most **exciting** season of UC Men's Basketball, I've seen in a while brought to us by literally being down in most games and coming back for the W's.

I'm likening this season to Andy Kennedy's 1 season tenure.

Of course there are tons of kinks to be worked out in the near future, but right now " How about THESE CATS!"

I'm just happy to not have to root for Xavier or Dayton in the NCAA Tourney.

Great Season fellas! I really feel confident about our NCAA Tourney chances of getting to a second weekend.

C+ for the entire Season.
 
This season was far from perfect. But with everything going on, injures, new coach, players leaving, etc, you take a share of regular season title and you don’t apologize for it. Some of the games weren’t perfect but we some quickly forget how every road game with mick was like pulling teeth.
 
This is so weird lol

Clearly I live in some people’s heads for no reason.

Instead of grading out the regular season, they are grading out my posts and discussing me over a bowl of chicken wings.

Another perfectly normal on topic thread gets derailed by the over correcting apologists.


I gave him a frickin passing grade. I thought my post was pretty positive.

Apparently around here it’s A+ or nothin

It’s everyone else’s fault.

This. Pretty much everything that could have gone wrong for them went wrong. Yet somehow they still managed to win the conference. I'd much rather have a deep tournament run but I still think them winning the conference exceeded expectations. I had them on the bubble this year and that was with a healthy and potential all-american.
