The defense has been lackluster so far in the first half, but Dixon just hit a sweet between the legs pull up jumper from 3. He looks sharp.
 
39-28 Cincy at the half. Biggie has looked much improved so far, however it could just be the fact that he is massive compared to everyone else on the court and is using that to his advantage, he still is lacking foot speed on the perimiter and is getting beaten off the dribble, His help D has been outstanding so far though, i think 3 blocks already. Dixon and Killa both look very smooth and are scoring over the smaller guards pretty easily. Even Darnell doesnt look as lost, a few nice passes.

I agree 100%
 
What has me most impressed so far is the offense. There is much more movement and better passing, as well as better shot selection so far. They do revert back to their old ways every once and a while though (Cash over dribbling on a few possesions). Other then that though the offense seems very fluid.
 
This is something i never thought i'd say...the cats are on fire from 3!! Ibrahima knocks down two in a row cats start the second half 4-4 from three.
 
Cats win 87-70. Play got very sloppy in the fourth quarter and the score got closer, Cincy really should've won this game by 30+ but they definately came off the gas. Dixon, and Biggie were great, Killa looked smooth, gates is still soft, and Gaines has me very excited about him. He looks very big for a freshmen and is a smooth athlete, had a massive block to end the game.
 
Wow I really enjoyed watching this team. More ball movement and better shot selection.

Defensively I think we were pretty active. These Canadian teams aren't usually prepared to handle pressure, especially full-court, but they were a smart team. They pump faked about 5 times per possession and made the Cats work on defense.

Dion Dixon?!?!?! Wow, he was doing it all. Reminded me of watching him at the summer league two years ago. Stepbacks, 3s, midrange, slashing, everything.

Thomas showed a nice touch from deep, even off the dribble.

Kilpatrick's shot was off but he was good in transition.

Davis was shooting some contested and questionable shots, but he at least made some.

Gaines is a big body with wide, broad shoulders. Think he definitely has some potentional.

Great all around game. I honestly didn't know what to expect because Carleton is a great Canadian program.
 
I thought that team was too small and not good enough to gauge our players development. UC did whatever it wanted.
