mannn that was real dirty undercutting Evans on that play. Could have been bad.

I was really nervous.

 

[Defense first]

Nice feed by Scott there

Pick your poison, you don't double Gary or Kyle and it's two down low, Cumberland if and when he gets out of his funk, this team is dangerous to guard. Let's go bearcats

Agreed. If Cumberland just hit the wide open shots with consistency I think that puts us over the top. We'd have all 5 starters who could go for 20 on any given night and none you can leave open from 3.

Cumberland can not get caught with the ball at top of the key with clock winding down

 

[cincyguy13]

I think Justin is playing well. Holding his own against Milton when guarding him. Kyle also playing hard

 

[WAITE HOYT 2]

Williams is playing some defense

 

[Alum2013]

Couple good plays from Williams there.

I feel like that's his highest percentage shot, a 3pointer with the defender right in his face.

I'm glad Cronin is letting him try to shoot out of it. Only way he can get back on track. How about Williams strong 1v1 d on Milton. Strong freshman, he is.

I'm find if he shoots it but he isn't athletic enough to pit it on the floor and create.

Definitely, Cumberland seems like the kind of guy that needs to shoot out of it. And my 5 starters comment was assuming Broome is starting.

Too early to slow down at 9:44.

That was an ugly offensive series for Evans there.

 

[WAITE HOYT 2]

Settling for to many jumpers now. We got them in foul trouble need to go to the rim. Play inside out.

 

[Mcginnjw]

Starting to sleep walk.

 

[Lawrugby]

We have Clark with 4 fouls. There is still a lot of fine in this game. I hope they don’t close the gap and make me nervous.

 

[Jon Rycek]

Chances are they won't have one of their best players draw 4 fouls like about 5min of play.
In slight defense of their offense, they're missing one of the best 3pt shooters in the country. With how defense is playing though it's probably still a 15 point game.

Yeah I don't expect it to be this dominant. But I just mean in general I have pretty pretty concerned about that game, watching them play each other tonight I just feel much more confident about our chances. I know road and home are completely different but I think it's clear we are the better team.

 

[jacobkdoyle]

Nice 2-2 FT from Williams. Baby steps.

2 things caught on mic I liked:
1. Williams gets scored on after playing good D and yelled a bad word. He wasn't happy. He doesn't like anyone getting the best of him. Good trait. Reminds me of Evans as a FR in that way.
2. Scott yelled "don't foul him" to I think Evans when SMU was on a break. He was trailing the play and could've made a clean contest.

 

[Jon Rycek]

I'm glad Cronin is letting him try to shoot out of it. Only way he can get back on track. How about Williams strong 1v1 d on Milton. Strong freshman, he is.

I agree, there is no other way around it. He's got the confidence to Lee shooting so let him keep shooting. We aren't playing as good as we could because of it, but it clearly isn't hurting us tonight. He's gotta break that cycle and it has to be in a game.

 

[Lawrugby]

Nice game. I am really surprised we did so well guarding the 3.
