The guy who grabs the ball usually draws more fouls. They are getting the ball more often than not.
 
Lucked out at the end, two Tulane guys fight each other for the offensive rebound and knock it away from each other.
 
Dude standing on the baseline and gets a timeout call. right.

They've been giving that call lately in college basketball. I saw an even worse on yesterday (forget which game it was in), where the guy was falling out of bounds while grabbing the rebound - questionable if he even had control of the ball - and was given the TO.
 
Winning ugly against the conference bottom feeders, at least it's better than losing to them, but there's a lot that needs to improve.
 
Yea, and missing Harvey and your superstar Dou. I mean Sam Martin played.

Yeah, I don’t get the negativity. I understand it before the COVID break, team sucked, but we haven’t practiced in a month. Playing mostly freshmen who didn’t get on campus till late, sophomores, and walk ons, and won two road games. Is it the best thing ever? No, but it’s still pretty good considering the circumstances
 
Eason was great aside from the 4 boneheaded turnovers. Looks like the game is slowing down for him. If he’s here next year, I think he could be a conference player of the year candidate. With a full summer to develop, he could be special.

Keith was good today. When he doesn’t foul, and gets to play it helps.

Vogt helped on offense and played hard. He’s defense sucks but at least he is providing something positive.

Mason looks good considering the amount of time he’s played and practiced.

DD is a solid player. Does a little of everything.

Keep improving and maybe we can go on a little run to end the year and have some positive momentum for next year.

I mean Martin and Banks both played better than scholarship player Mike Saunders. I believe back when Cronin coached he mentioned Martin getting PG minutes as a senior as a serious possibility. We have quality walk-ons.

We are squeaking out wins against bottom dwellers. It's better than losing to them, but it's not like we are playing well. Tulane has two Juniors and 0 seniors on their roster.

With any normal UC team we'd be complaining because we didn't blow them out by twenty.

We did some things good, but we did a lot badly. Tulane played slightly worse than us, but neither team played well.

So yeah, let's celebrate the good, but I'm not going to ignore the bad. We play like this against any competent team (or Houston) and we will get blown out.

Beat Memphis on Thursday and I'll be happy however we do it.

Best part of this game was Keith actually playing a complete game.

We weren’t a good team before, and we just went a month without practicing. That’s usually doesn’t make you better. Half our team is freshmen and sophomores. It’s something positive to build on.
 
This team isn’t going anywhere this year. Develop younger players, maybe get a win in the conference tournament and finish with some momentum.
 
DD does a little bit of everything, but needs to clean-up the TO's. Could be an excellent senior PG if he can do that and keep hitting a high-percentage from three.

I could see Eason being CPOY as a Senior or possibly a Junior. He has a lot to clean-up though. I suspect he has gotten by too easily on pure athleticism in HS and now needs to learn to play against other athletes. He did have a nice game on the interior though.

I could take or leave Mason, he's better than Mikey or maybe MAW, but they don't really bring anything. Mason can at least hit threes. But Harvey coming back will cut Mason's minutes and I'm fine with that.

Vogt is looking more like he did last year. Does a lot of good on offense and a lot of harm on defense. These undersized teams are what he feasts on though. Bigs that can shoot threes or match his size is where he struggles. Let's see how he does against Memphis.

Keith had a very good game, but I would have liked to see him demand the more at the end of the game. He had a bit of a reverse normal game. He was excellent for the first 35 minutes and then sort of faded out at the end of the game. Still happy with his play though.
