Tulane

[WAITE HOYT 2]

Expecting to see another solid offensive performance at home.

Cincinnati 72
Tulane 55

Think your prediction is very close. Would really like to see the Cats start playing well on both ends of the floor in the same game.

*Ranked 35 in kenpom in offensive rebounding percentage
* Have scored just 87 points combined in the last 2 games against UCONN and SMU


Again, another game against a really poor shooting 3 point team. I really hope they dont shoot as well from the 3 as Memphis did. Tulane doesn't shoot nearly as many 3's as alot of the other teams in the conference and I just the ones they do shoot, are contested and don't go in.

On paper, we should destroy this team. But on paper we should have destroyed them last year and had a terrible first half. Kenyon Martin has been at practice and is expected to Attend sundays game as well, Lets hope they come out with a ton of energy and play hard in what will probably be a small crowd. Lets destroy them in the first half and let quad and Jenifer run the show in the second half.

Talking with meechem and some other former players and they saying kenyon definitly wants back in the game at the college level. Would love that man full time. Not sure how good his son kenyon Martin jr 2019 prospect is but wow I'd love to see a guy with his blood playing for us

This might be the best thing ive seen on this board in quite some time. Would absolutely love to see Kenyon on that Bearcat bench with or without Mick.

Van Exel is a guy I'd love to have on our staff too. He's currently the head coach of the Texas Legends and also coached for the Bucks and Texas Southern.

Nick would be perfect for this staff, I've been wanting him for awhile. If you could have van exel and kenyon on staff they would kill it in recruiting. And you know they'd bring back that old huggins swagger. Damn Kenyon coaching up our bigs with nick getting the guards would be great to watch

Can't wait to see my #Bearcats play agin in person against Tulane tomorrow. Had a blast Thursday. Thanks for Love Cincinnati.

Kenyon will def be in attendance Sunday too per his twitter. He also just tweeted, let's sell this game out! Love that he will be back and showing love.

Just like others have said, the more Kenyon is involved with our team the better we will be. It would be amazing to get him on the coaching side. Not sure if that is really possible, but I can wish right?!

We should stomp them. The game at Tulane last year we went up like 25-6 or something. I'd like to see that again.

That game was a thing of beauty. Plus Rallycats had a good group that traveled for that game. They were louder than the 500 tulane fans in attendance.

More then anything I want Troy to play with the confidence and aggressiveness he demonstrated against Memphis. He is the guy who is going to make this team go offensively. The more he pressures the opposition to stop him, the easier it becomes for the other guys. Kicking the ball to Cobb or finding the teammate who 's man has become the help defender is critical. Of course him pulling up in lane and hitting a few shots would not hurt either. Troy has to make his success work for his teammates. At the same time they can not stand around and watch him. If he is drawing defenders they have to make themselves available and convert at a except able rate.

Also him and his backcourt mates have got to stop dribble penetration. As it is a key to our offense, it is as well for the opposition. When our bigs have to stop guards in the lane it creates fouls which our bigs pick up regularly, creates offensive rebounding opportunities which has hurt us this year and produces three point kick out opportunity for other teams shooters.

Hope Troy can build on his last game.

I thought you had to have graduated. Last I heard Nick did not. Kenyon I am pretty sure. Corrie was very interested in College coaching. And was finishing up his degree. Then he got into the legal trouble. Ruined that wonderful option we had.

Would really like to see us continue to look for good opportunities on offense and take on step forward stopping the ball defensively.

I agree. Good opportunities even if it's early in the shot clock. Sometimes the best opportunity is taking your man aggressively to the glass before the D sets up.

Last year we got stuck in a "First to 50" against Tulane. It will be interesting to see how much we've improved since last year.

 

[jacobkdoyle]

Same starters

 

[jacobkdoyle]

Cronin talking about Shaq Thomas pregame...said he needs to start taking ownership of our season.

 

[jacobkdoyle]

Great first possession.

 

[Bearcat513]

Of course they make that first three pointer. Jesus.

 

[BCM]

Why is it that whenever Ellis gets the ball down low he just completely errors out
