One of the most frustrating losses I can remember.
Clark played scared
Caupain is awful and looks tired. I'll be relieved to not have to watch him lumber down the floor next year.
Cronin making questionable decisions: no Jenifer, Scott in at the end of the game instead of Clark, Brooks, or Washington, all who actually played today and weren't coming off the bench cold.
Some are defending Mick, saying that we got open looks but guys just didn't make the 3's. But a coach should be able to get us open looks inside, especially when 3's aren't falling. Any backdoor cuts? Oops (besides the last play)? We barely get any great looks inside as a result of the offense -- movement, set plays, etc. What looks we do get are in spite of the offense we run.
This is an ongoing problem. It puts so much pressure on our guys, bc it means the only way we get those good looks is through plays by individuals. Like a guy beating their man 1-on-1. When we play a team with a similar level of talent, those individual plays are harder to come by. And that's when we jack 3's bc that's all our offense generates. If they're not falling? We have no answer and get the L.
They looked quite good against a really solid defense when Justin Jenifer and Cumberland were in the game. But good old Mediocre Mick decided not to play Jenifer at all and to wait 7 minutes to bring in Cumberland.

Not even counting the end...Tre Scott just isn't ready to help a Top 20 team. Not sure if he ever really will be either.
I get the argument but there were many easy shots they missed also. 2 were in the last minute. They Probably missed 10 wide open 3s. Those are shots you have to make.
Come on. That's an overreaction. Has he not helped this year? Are you forgetting the entire season so far?

No I'm not forgetting. I've been off of him for a while. He has some ok plays here and there but he's not an impact player at all.
Dude does everyone have to be an impact player? That is absurd to say that he won't ever really even be a good role player.

I don't think we were quite getting the looks you're saying. Most of our shots were shots UCF was just fine with us taking. We missed a few we have to make for sure, but not a ton.
As a Junior, I think tre Scott could work into a starting role with more minutes. Is this what you said about Justin Jackson? I think that's an unfair shake for Tre
I think he could be a solid glue guy. Play great defense and get boards. You need those guys. But if you are full of those guys it's not greatIf we have to rely on Scott the way we did Jackson, our offense isn't going to be very good. That's all I'm saying. He just doesn't strike me as a high level college player and someone is going to have to be when Clark and Washington are gone.
