Sad to say it buts it's extremely hard to win against the best when all 3 of your guards that get major minutes below average passers. Choke-pain or Cobb couldn't pass to open roll man to save their lives. 2nd half smu just completely started leaving screener wide open. Jenifer and Evans should start if Mick wants to save season. Forget all that toughness and rah rah crap when it matters most guys on court skill level is just over matched.

choke-pain is awful PGI said losing Cashmere Wright would have a huge effect on this team. Not saying Caupain is awful just not digging it out like Nic Moore did tonight.
It's not the Mick offense scheme. Players just can't pass to save their lives. Even around the perimeter ball gets stuck too much. Science 101 tells the players that the ball moves faster than players. Every team we lost to beat us with excellent passing. Did you see the behind back pass with CONFIDENCE from Kennedy double teamed in corner?I said losing Cashmere Wright would have a huge effect on this team. Not saying Caupain is awful just not digging it out like Nic Moore did tonight.
Also part of it has to be Cronin's offense where the players are allowed to settle for awful jumpshots. Pass around the arc, take a long or contested 3. Miss. Can't set up the defense. Other team gets a quick bucket.
the only thing worse than the way the team has been playing is some of our fans.
Yeah I can't believe EVERY fan isn't pissed. Fuck X too honestly we better coaching and conditioning were supposed be undefeated.

In the long run, teams will go 50-50 in these 1 possession games. We haven't won one of these since the Purdue game.

To me Gary Clark has to touch the ball on 80% of offensive possessions.
not 1 possession though. We've had lead every game with at least 2min. Getting troy off ball is solution to problem. I don't care if kj handles ball I'm happy knowing he's at least not scared to make playIn the long run, teams will go 50-50 in these 1 possession games. We haven't won one of these since the Purdue game.

I agree. He is so far and away our best player imo.
Well, I had a business meeting tonight and had to miss the game. I have it taped, but based on these comments, it doesn't sound like I need to watch the game. I've read the term "Choke-pain about 20 times and that's all I need to know. I don't need to see him spit the bit again. He's not a point guard. I guess I read that Jenifer got 0 minutes. Again, brilliant coaching! This was going to be a special season. Not anymore. We've settled in nicely as a mediocre, mid-major program.

I coach my kids 11 and under team. We are instructed to emphasize dribbling and passing. Fundamentals. UC Basketball has got to practice better passing. That's for sure.Sad to say it buts it's extremely hard to win against the best when all 3 of your guards that get major minutes below average passers.

Our pace is now ranked 297th.
UH yeah. I agree. Nic Moore is short.Waste of time and energy having Cobb at top of 1-2-2. Put Shaq out there we wear these bums out making them work harder passing and running to pass
Had to be booster's son. Hope it was not intentional to give SMU rest. Regardless. We took two shots down the stretch too early in the clock. And not aggressive enough at other times. There is a balance between not shooting too early and staying aggressiveSmart to pull Caupain there real quick. Did it with a little over 5 min left 1st half too. Got a rest when the fat kid spilled his coke too.
He looked a little timid after getting blocked. He will have a good game when we play them hereHe had good boards and 3 assists. But his shot wasn't there tonight, unfortunately.

We were holding the #2 KenPom offense well below 1.00 ppp until they scored 11 points on last 5 possessions. Can't really be upset with anything that led up to that point...Our pace is now ranked 297th.
