USF @ Cats

[Robert]

Thomas and Sanders playing together now. Our offense should flow much better. Mick obviously realizes our offense was struggling more than our defense benefited.

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

USF always does this, game is 24-18 at the half. So much for more efficient offense.

 

[Robert]

This team really worries me sometimes. I don't want to be the #3 seed to go down in the first round this year because we couldn't put the lesser team away early.

 

[ME80]

These are the times that I always question what is an efficient offense. This first half we have missed a few short jumpers that we made the other night and missed 2+ layups. This could very easily be a 10+ point lead.

Watch the Duke-Syracuse game last night I watched Duke throw up 35 3 pointers making 15 of them. When UC played Syracuse I often would hear we have no offense when we would jack up open 3's. Is an efficient offense basically making wide open shots?

I guarantee nyarsuk will not see a minute of time in the NCAA tourney...

 

[waterhead]

ya I gotta question the line-ups so far, really why has Thomas only play like 5 mins?

I wasn't real excited about the substitutions either. With that being said I am not the coach and JJ and TR have a lot of fouls to give...so I hope we come out more aggressive in the second half.

We looked dead after about 5 minutes in. I hope we play some man to man D.

GG is having a good game

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

I said it earlier, this team is just a bad match up for UC. They take the air out of the ball every possession and try to make it a 50-48 game. I was expecting Cincinnati's pressure to force the tempo but they haven't been able to.

 

[Robert]

This is garbage. I don't care how USF matches up. There's no excuse for turning the ball over nearly every possession. The team is playing with no heart or energy today.

 

[HoosierCat]

Cronin better wake this team up during this timeout

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

USF takes the lead. Cincinnati has 2 points in about 6 minutes.

 

[Scheids21]

I'm so confused right now. Why isnt shaq playing more? Why isn't caupain playing more? KJ looks so uncomfortable running the point. It looks like Mick is trying to get the bench more experience or something. Well we're in a dog fight right now in danger of a really bad loss.

 

[HoosierCat]

They are playing lazy on both sides of the ball.

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

Guyn has had a good offensive game. Cincinnati needs to pick up the tempo.

 

[HoosierCat]

They have to start penetrating with the ball on offense.

 

[Scheids21]

Just chucking threes right now...we're in trouble.

 

[Robert]

This is absolutely pathetic. Garbage effort all around. I guess these guys don't know how to handle success yet.

 

[UCalum08]

Wow... Continue to be completely inept against a zone. Its not rocket science. Could you imagine us against Syracuse? Ay ay ay ay

 

[HoosierCat]

Where is Shaq? They need him at the free throw line against the zone!

 

[JumpinJack5]

Guyn has had a good offensive game. Cincinnati needs to pick up the tempo.

We need more Caupain today and less Guyn. I admit Guyn is better than I give him credit for, but Caupain adds much more in the half court offense. Guyn isn't nearly as good of a passer as Caupain, and against a 2-3 zone, you need someone who can drive and dish. Shaq, SK, Caupain, and occasionally, Rubles, are our best zone busters.
