Thing to look at next year.

What's cane Broome gonna be like on a good team, in a pretty good conference.

Cumberland is gonna start next year and get lots of minutes, cant wait to see him playing 30 minutes a game.

Evans has to be more assertive at times, he an take a game over but he is so unwilling at times. Cronin needs to beat it into his head this off season to take more open looks even if it's early in the shot clock.

Clark is just gonna progress even more that I'm sure. Would be nice to see him get himself up to averaging a double double next year.

Washington has got to get stronger. He can be really dominant against smaller teams but has trouble getting his way with bigger guys. He's got the height and he's not all that lanky just gotta get strongerand a little quicker on D but regardless he should be a solid presence for us.

Brooks looks like he's gonna get most of the sub minutes down low, he's gonna be a solid player I think of f the bench.

Can't wait to see what Williams can do off the bench for us next year, him and jenifer will be some key role players off the bench as well.

Overall I think we definitely improve next year. Hope that came broome can be good on D I think that's my biggest concern at this point, other than he adds a whole new dimension to our offense. Gonna be a fun year, Go Cats!

I think quad is going to break out next year and be a consensus all American...
 
Amen here. The thing I love about Washington is that he represents the team very well. I believe it was Kellog who said tonight that he needs to attack more like he did at the end when he was desperate. Since he is a smart kid I think he will realize that and he will never loose that beautiful touch. Kudos to Cronin for getting him in here.

Completely agree. Another summer of working on his game/conditioning should see him improve a ton. A Kmart jump would be huge but I'd settle for a Justin Jackson jump!
 
Kyle is probably the biggest reason for our success this year. Yeah he's frustrating and shots terrible shots but he has given us plenty of buckets when we needed them this year when In previous year, it would have been a 5 minute drought

True, he did miss a whole year of playing in games. But he is like 24 years old already.

Lol, what about Quadri? I think he will be the key next year *note sarcasm*

On a more serious note, what happened to Tre Scott? Almost forgot he was on the team.

I think Clark could be great next year. He started wanting to take over games this last month. If he keeps working on his shot, he could be great next year. I think brooks could also have a good jump in improvement. Sky is the limit with him
 
True, he did miss a whole year of playing in games. But he is like 24 years old already.

That's a good point...he will turn 24 in August. I just looked up JJack's age and it looks like he turned 23 his senior year so I'm holding out hope that Kyle can do the same even with being a year older.
 
It's like he wants to force being the star instead of being patient. We have plenty of other solid players, he doesn't have to be a hero every time down the floor. Also want to see him add a little more arc to his shot. His line drives bring back bad memories of Shaq Thomas occasionally.

Somewhere NTS is saying I told you so. His +/-splits don't lie. :(.

After the first 6-7 games he was exposed. He has great attitude (even when talking about his defense needing to improve), but he really has some work to do. Not sure what he can do. He sat out a year, and now has a yr under his belt. He just doesn't react. By coincidence the camera was on his side of the court during a UCLA fast break, and it was like he was thinking out there, in slow motion. Next thing u know - dunk. I would hope he would improve some on D. We will need him, but I think it will mostly be like this year - he will get subbed out. Cant lose the game just to give a Sr PT.
 
First half was obviously better than the 2nd half as far as making shots and 2nd half was obviously better than the 1st half in not turning over the ball. KJ had one of the travel calls in the first half and im not really sure it was a travel. Dont turn the ball over as much and the lead could have been a little more.

As far as the 2nd half. Man. Its like we went cold. UCLA had 3 straight possessions with a 3 while we missed 3 straight 3s. KJ had 2 open 3s, Evans had an open 3. Troy and Cumberland had open 3s. Washington with a few hooks he usually makes a wide open jumper. I know you cant always make your shots, but against a team like that, it was something we had to do to win that game. Would have really changed the last few minutes of that game.
 
Great season regardless of tonight. Was the first time in over a decade that I enjoyed watching the Cats. Next year scares me with no point guard in waiting. Give us a reliable post man and a point, and they will be too 10. Still hate Cronin, but the boys we're fun this year

You are a joke. Ragging on the coach and you don't even know who Cane Broome is and think he's a freshman incoming. Jesus. Take a look at the roster next time before posting.
 
I Agree with you Bearcat513. I've heard Cane Broom has been the best player in practice. If that's the case you have a pg who can get in the lane and that will create opportunities all over for the whole team

Yeah the 3 straight 3s for them to go from down 1 to up 8 basically decided the game. Hard to stop them for 40 minutes. They are a really impressive team. Their size bothered us more than I though it would too.
 
I was watching pregame warmups and UCLA looked confident and cocky. They were having fun smiling and laughing and were loose. We seemed all tense and serious.

I don't think we were totally sold on the idea that we belonged. Those little details need to change. We can SAY we belong all we want but we actually have to believe it.

We need that swagger back! UCLA had that swagger last night. I think they always thought they would win the game...and we were hoping we would win the game.

We might not be an underdog next year outside of maybe a game or 2 away from home (Xavier and SMU). I'd like to see our attitude reflect that.
