USF: the battle for.... I have no idea. Hopefully something

I surely thought the season was over when we went down 13. Kudos to Keith and Tre for helping the team find that missing gear and finding a way to elevate the team to victory. Hoping we climb back into the NET Top 50 tomorrow.
 
Woops. Bad timing huh.

I think maybe Trevon Scott has improved too. Dunno.

All Players improve.

They get older, stronger and more experienced.


but Keith's jump from Fresh to Soph was huge

His Jump from SOPH to JR is.. not so great. Its meh if anything. He saved our ass tonight. But Still not as impressive as he should be.

As for Tre Scott, again, he was on a trajectory of improving. He's improved every single year. He's a man on a mission and is embracing his last go round. Kudos to him for that. And for Brannen for empowering it.

Dou is Dou. He has Skill. He has athleticism. But He lacks game experience and IQ. His most impressive skill is Defense and he's been under utilized defensively up until the of this game. You have a great shot blocker and shot alterer and yet he is on the pine in games where you need a stop. Tonight hopefully opened some eyes. His Ceiling Is far higher than Vogt.


But for Brannen's guys.. I haven't seen a game over game consistent improvement with guys like Maw, Vogt & Harvey. Brannen has said it himself, they are no longer freshman. Jarron Cumberland was pretty damn consistent double digit scorer this time of year in his freshman season.



The only guys we could rely on were the players who played on last years team.


59 points from 3 returners. 20 points from the other 5 guys.
 
there is literally nothing that could happen where you would give Brannen credit. Trevon's second half of the year has been head and shoulders better than anything he has ever done before.

I’m not even a Brannen hate like that lmao. Now you’re just projecting your own insecurities. I’m sorry you’re right, Tre Scott showed zero progress in his last 3 years, now that Brannen is here he’s become ten times the player he was under lousy Mick. But seriously I’m not saying Tre hasn’t gotten better, or Keith and I’m not saying Brannen isn’t putting them in better positions, I think they’re both really talented guys though and I’m not gonna say they’re head over heels better because Brannen has been coaching them for the last 7 months

Tre and Brooks were playing very good together towards the end of last yr. Would have made for a top frontcourt this yr. I've ran into Trey frequently during his time here. Was always easy going and positive energy. Saw before the Memphis game I told him he could go pro and I really meant it. It's almost like he responded and raised his game but he was on a trajectory for this production. Just sat behind a few guys during his time but that's what good programs do. Ask for production from guys when it's needed and not out of attrition something that has been stressed this yr solid depth. Glad they pulled this one out I wanna see my team make the tournament at least certainly does matter win it all or not
 
imagine gary in this system.


hell imagine that 2018 team with brannen. that would have been a fun team to watch.
Lol my God... Bro pls spare us. We've yet to see if Brannen can attract talent the likes of... Diara and Harvey should of been getting more clock. Was cringing seeing McNeal in there he can somewhat play D I'll give him that. Definitely a team guy
 
without jarron*

Aye they were supposed to win this one with or without jarron put the dub in the books... That's how automatic this one should of been. I sure do miss blowing teams like this out I know that. Hopefully this is the game that really gets Kieth going like Tre has got goin. Would be nice to see those two and jarron clicking. Thought he hurt his foot at the end of that Wichita game
 
This board is funny after they win. Lose to a good Houston team and UCats JoeRunner and Justin wouldn’t shut up about how bad Brannen was. Beat a team on the road by more than we were suppose to and 2 of the 3 go quiet

I’m not quiet

What do you want me to say ?


You know what... let’s hang a banner for this win. I wanna see this USF victory in fifth third forever.

We beat a bad team who also doesn’t have its best player. UC should always expect to beat USF. Always.


That said it was a great win. And I credit Brannen for sticking with Dou. And playing better defense .


Y’all act it burns when we win. I’d rather win. I’d rather win them all. Brannen wins and he’s all right with me. He loses 10 games with 4 bad teams, then yea, he has some explaining to do.


I mean according to his wife on Twitter this is the kinda win that shuts the haters up. But I think she messed up because that game was Sunday.


Let’s enjoy the win, hopefully every one will be there Sunday. I know I will.


Go Bearcats.

I said 2 out of 3 you were the one I was excluding.........
 
If we don’t want to hang a banner for a win at USF, maybe let’s not fire the coach after a loss at Houston. Works both ways. Don’t be an idiot after a loss, we won’t be after a win.

he's getting better looks. everybody is getting better looks.


keith lead the team in shots at the rim plus dunks with 148. 2nd was Brooks with 136. 3rd was Scott with 116.


This year Keith has 175, Vogt has 194, and Scott has 170.


Last year Keith took 91 midrange shots. Scott took 129.


This year Keith has taken 73 midrange shots. Scott has taken 89.


Last year as a team we took 726 midrange shots. This year as a team its 374.


Getting players to take better shots directly leads to them being better players.

Stats that favor “the system” nooooooo!!!! Guessing we won’t see these referenced a lot. Don’t fit the narrative that he’s making some players better.,
 
To say Vogt hasn’t improved this year is another idiotic thing to say. Add it to the list. The guys been terrible for a month but how quickly we forget the first 3 months of the year when he was one of the guys carrying us. Putting up double figures in every game. Guess that doesn’t count toward player development.

Seems there must be a stock way to defend Vogt and league understands that so we need to go to Diara. Maybe Brannen has been slow to realize that because he favors Vogt.

Sunday? you cleaning up Fifth Third?

Maybe, or diarra hasn’t taken advantage of his opportunities. Can be either way you look at it. Diarra hasn’t exactly forced Brannens hand and made him play him. Last night he did.

If you earn the PT on this team you get it. Gotta earn it though.

Double him. If he puts the ball on the floor it’s a turnover.


He’s made some adjustments by passing quickly leading to some dunks and layups, but those are too infrequent.

An auto double is great for the team, he must work all off season on making the right pass and being stronger with the ball.
