Cumberland a leader getting between Brooks.

Said the exact same thing

 

[Bcatfollower]

Just awesome. Clutch guys. Great team

Yah especially after Brooks got trucking bitch-shoved. Guy had whatever he had coming, kudos to Cumberland keeping it down.

 

[GoCats88]

If FT isn't fixed by March we're screwed for a run

Well we won against a good team tonight despite it.

 

[cincrulz11]

Truth be told we are way better than that xavier team. With what they shot from 3 and what we shot from the FT and to still lose by 8? They aren't even close to us.

 

[Garybearcat]

Thanks to Marshall for teaching us how to over come

Agreed!

But have you noticed the difference in this team from other recent teams. We are winning down the stretch with offense. This bodes well for March. If I was Mick I would send them right out to the court once the crowd leaves and have them shooting free throws.

Kept saying that all game. We were clearly the better team. If Washington and Cumberland would have been at their FT average would have been an easy double digit win.

Guys....we are good. Enjoy it. Always nice to beat Norwood State University

Well we won against a good team tonight despite it.

Agreed.It won't help but our heart won this game. Plus we are pretty dam good.

Cats were mentally a tougher team. When you can keep your head when they are knocking down shots at the rate they were it is truly amazing.

1. Cumberland showed why he was a highly rated recruit. Gam is not to big for him.

2. Brooks was a factor with many big plays either a tip or a block or rebound.

3. Clark a absolute monster. Have to get him more touches

4. Evans got hot when we made our run.

We make some FT's and this isn't close. Mick subbed great.

I said we would beat them before the seaso started and we did. Goal number 1 for the year achieved. Now let's finicpsh strong and win the league.

 

[Mcginnjw]

That was an impressive win. I can't remember a team shoot that well against us and we still win! Great job by these guys and good game plan by Cronin. We just kept pounding them inside and they couldn't handle it.

 

[Bcatfollower]

It's great as a fan to have confidence that we have multiple guys we can have confidence in to score.

 

[BCM]

Well we won against a good team tonight despite it.

That might be so, but I don't even want to consider that a team as good as ours this year can be undone by something so fundamental. There are far better teams we WILL face and they won't be nearly as forgiving, despite X having an NBA-shooting guy on their team tonight skewing things.

Don't even know what to say, so happy for these guys. Obviously Caupain and Johnson the most. This teams never stops. They are unbreakable. Coach Cronin, the staff, and the players should be so proud of what's happening here. Such a joy to watch these guys. I can't help but think of 2 years ago @Nebraska. Let's face it guys, it was gross. Watching this team tonight was amazing. They have a guy who goes out of his mind and scores 40, we shoot like crap at the line, and we win going away. I have a buddy who took UC -4 then took them +190 at halftime. Let's just say he's a UC fan now. What a game. 2 good teams, great college basketball game. This is how the rivalry should be. The vibe around all of it this week was amazing. So proud of these guys. What a game.

Agreed, if blueitt doesn't go ballistic in the first half we win by 15-20. With that said, great comeback in the second half and great win!! This is our city!!

I'm with you brother! Go Bearcat!

2. Brooks was a factor with many big plays either a tip or a block or rebound.

Imagine that + 30lbs of muscle and conditioning to avoid petty fouls that long guys are prone to

I respect your point. But "Don't worry be happy"

 

[BCM]

Haha what's the drink of the night?

 

[jacobkdoyle]

Awesome seeing Brooks and Cumberland getting a real taste for the game. I feel for Washington. He shouldn't beat himself up over his FT. It's not a thing. I love having him on the team. He's very important to our success.
