I guess we can add that to our arsenal of variety of ways to win...Lol!

Hey our guys just hate to lose! I saw it in there eyes the last part of that game. Same look when we were down to X.

"Losing is not an option with this team"

 

[Garybearcat]

So that means Moore was good...?

No I don't think he played well at all but before we trash our Bearcat student athletes we need to ask ourselves what do we know about playing in a college basketball game. I'm not the coach, your not the coach let Mick do his job. Maybe this somehow pays off somewhere down the road. I trust our coach we are like 20-2, right.

 

[waterhead]

I can't understand why Tre Scott only got 6 minutes tonight. He can at least provide some resistance on defense.

It's been happening a lot lately when we aren't blowing teams out. I don't know how he got in the doghouse. Around 5 minutes is all he gets in close games. I know he's not as bad as Quadri.

 

[Madman81]

I replied because before we come down on our student athletes we should ask ourselves "Do I know what it's like to play Division 1 basketball". If the answer is "No" I think before we comment and trash one of our Bearcats we should consider we have no freaking idea what it's like to be in that game and attempting to do our best. I cringe at times when Quadri is in the game, but I'm rooting for him to do his best as I do all our Bearcat players. He has his opinion I have mine.

"Pessimism has a lifetime winning percentage of ZERO"

give me a ******* break. anyone with functioning eyes can see how brutal quadri is on the court compared to everyone else on the court. that's all that matters.

do you want to give him a trophy, too? there are lots of times in life where trying your hardest just isn't good enough.

yeah, it's insane. at least tre will do his job and not do exceedingly idiotic things.

he probably also won't take out any teammates with his stupidity.

I'll try to be more negative for your benefit.

Maybe you should be the coach. You seem to be very knowledgeable. I'm sure you would give everybody the correct amount of minutes.
Sarcasm............
I think our coach of the 20-2 Bearcats will take over from here.

 

[UCalum08]

I think Tulsa has a decent chance of beating SMU this weekend. They match up decently well with them. Hopefully Tulsa learned from this game and takes it out on SMU. A little breathing room would be nice.

I don't even know what you're arguing. If someone thinks Moore is bad, their opinion doesn't count bc they didn't play at UC? Or if they think he is bad, then they obviously know more than the coach? Settle down man. No need to be so defensive. Quadri Moore was really not good tonight. I bet if Brooks is still out, we'll see a switch in what we do next time if Washington gets fouls. And that's bc we can't count on Moore. Sorry. But we just can't. That doesn't make me John Wooden. It's just a really obvious observation.

That'd be nice. Shocking...but nice.

"You aren't the coach" & "You never played Division I basketball" are intellectually bankrupt arguments. If you cannot criticize a player if you aren't "the coach", then really you shouldn't defend them either. All of us should just stop commenting altogether, since we are clearly unqualified.

 

[jacobkdoyle]

Anyone catch Coach on 700 after the game?

 

[Emperor Snapper]

SMU is now two spots ahead of UC in KenPom, for what it is worth. We are going to need to bring our A-game to win that one, for sure.

 

[mdchick]

With Washington in foul trouble not having Brooks killed us, if Brooks was healthy quadri wouldn't have played. Defensively quadri is one existent and he's useless on offense. He hit a 3 but everything else he did was awful per usual. Really would rather Cumberland Evans Clark in for the bigs rather than quad

 

[Queens_NYC]

On a positive note, I'd like to commend Washington for his performance over the last 6 minutes of the game with four fouls on him. He scored 6 huge points to help spark the comeback when we were down double digits (which included a big offensive rebound and put back) and played sound, foul-free defense down the stretch as well.

We don't have to play Quadri. We have Scott and small ball. Both of those are better options than Q. I just don't get it.

 

[juckerrules]

We *should* be fine here, but Tulsa has actually played pretty well lately. Currently 3rd in the conference and 5-1 in their last 6, including double-digit wins over UCF and Memphis. Also beat Temple on the road. Guessing we very mildly regress and win a relatively ugly one, something like 65-55.

You nailed their 55!

Even before last night, I had that one pegged as a loss - now I'm gussing SMU will be giving 5 points or so

Best video of Troy's game winner. The students reactions are priceless. We have all been there before.

"Basically conceded the game with the way we played. Nothing more to see tonight. What a joke."


"We literally couldn't look worse and it doesn't look like Caupain cares."

Not to pick on anyone ('cause I was saying the same things), but these posts are funny in hindsight

There was a time when Scott was 3rd big. He was averaging 18.5 minutes through one 9 game stretch. Since then he is averaging 9 and that includes a game against USF where all the starters were pulled early and he didn't even reach 18 in that game. He played significant minutes against ISU, SMU, Temple, Butler, etc.

Something happened recently but I'm not sure what it was. Perhaps it is attitude related? It doesn't seem like Scott to have a poor attitude. Maybe he's just gotten lost out there? IDK but having Quadri as 3rd big is not good so it must have been a significant event.
