Reaves is the guy we need to worry about. The kid has range

over 50% from 3 in conference play

You have to score the god damn ball.

Crazy concept according to some on here

 

[jacobkdoyle]

we have to get back to being us. if we're gonna try to play this stall ball for 30 minutes again its just not a recipe for victory for us. our team needs to try to get out in transition when the opportunity presents itself. our guys seem to feed off it and we play with more energy on defense.


when mick stalled us out tonight, our defense seemed to back off too. the energy was just zapped.

Yeah I agree completely. We weren't UC last night. At least not this UC. We were old coin-flip UC. We knew they could score and we'd have to get 70 to win. But we did nothing to play like we were trying to get 70.

UC reverted to Caupain Ball last night, especially in 2nd half. Never screamed so much "why are we walking the ball up" at a TV before. LOL!

It started when we got up 13 like somehow we could just not score anymore and win. It’s like mick thought there were 10 minutes left, not 30.

Couple tough whistles, couple empty possessions and now all of the sudden they are right back in it. They have too much firepower to win like that against them. You can do it to most of the teams in our league. But not Houston and not Wichita State. And not the teams we will see in the 2nd round and beyond. And maybe even the 1st round if we end up with a 4/5 seed.

The team we saw last night is not the team that worked its way up to #3 in KenPom. It's the team that hovers in the 20-30 range. We have to get back to being us. We have to dictate how this game goes. We need to suffocate them.

Reaves is their JP macura. A hustle player who isn’t afraid of the big moment.

Although he’s is much classier player then jp

He's the disease-free version.

we should win this at home. we are a different team at home

8-3 against tier 1-2 teams away from home

 

[jacobkdoyle]

We need Evans to break out of his shooting slump.

Last 5 Games:
6-16 FG
4-12 FG
1-5 FG
2-8 FG
3-9 FG
Total 16-50 (32%)

 

[cincyguy13]

8-3 against tier 1-2 teams away from home

So, we are the same team at home and away? This is what you are implying?

 

[UC86]

8-3 against tier 1-2 teams away from home

Also, 39-0 in the last 39 home games... I think it’s fair to say, we’re a different team at home.

 

[justinhub2003]

Personally I think if we win Sunday we’re a 2-3 seed and if we lose we’re a 4-5 seed

As for the conference tourney. I dunno about you guys but I’ll take the rest of winning a tourney that literally doesn’t count

We are not the sharpest coming into games after to long of a layoff. Need to at least get to conference championship game.

I think that's short-sighted. That's a very good accomplishment that our players can take with them forever. And if we win the regular season, it'd be awesome to do a victory lap in the tournament and sweep it. I'd like for each of our players to get at least 1 AAC Title, 1 AAC Tournament Title, and a Sweet 16 in a 4 year career. And that's a minimum. I feel like conference championships are underrated...it's easy for 95% of teams to dismiss it bc they didn't win. But for me personally, winning that kind of stuff validates your season. It gives you a real feat to point to. I remember last year Washington said he was glad that people were proud of the team, but they wanted more bc they didn't go home with anything. I want our players on cloud 9 going into the selection show. Nowhere they can ship us will get us down at that point.

I liked having these tough games at the end of the regular season to get us ready for March but it could also hurt the team. If they somehow end up not winning the title outright that could get in their heads and hurt the morale. Having a 3 game lead with 2 weeks left and blowing it could be disastrous.

The one thing that distinguishes this team from Mick’s others is that they are good at running breaks. I did not see the Houston game but if they truly slowed things down deliberately I can see where that would be a problem.

Wichita State 63
UC 70

We also kill teams at home and not so much at home. Saying we are the same at home and on the road may be the dumbest thing ever said on here. (If that’s what he was saying, still not sure)
