UC vs. AR Little Rock

[thebeast]

All you need to know is 21 steals. An absolutely ridiculous number.

Mick said on post game that JDIII is hurt, finger on non-shooting hand. I think maybe a medical red-shirt is possible.

I am more interested in our 17 turnovers. While 21 steals is def. an accomplishment, Little Rock resembled the passing of a jv squad. Cronin knows we aren't efficient on offense which is good. They can only get better with every game.

On another note, I was at the game and it seems Kilpatrick's ball handling are getting worse. He keeps making stupid turnovers and get caught mid-dribble. Definitely don't think his handles will translate to the NBA. But on the other hand, every other facet of his game has looked great

Sk definantly turned the ball over way to much... With that being said, im not concerned at all.

Twas an ugly scrimmage. Not really a representation of how well they can play but I liked Mick taking the starting 5 off the floor for extended period. Credit to the bigs, they actually played pretty well.
In general I think they sensed ALR was less athletic and all around talented just stopped caring. They were sloppy and crazy.
On the upside, I did see some nice dishing and I think the subs are getting more comfortable. Guyn's decision making needs to improve. I think SK actually got better as they game went on. He needs to stop playing so timid. guy can score all over. Wright is scoring well but the offense man lol
Well... one more cup cake and a couple games we could lose if we fall asleep.
Then we have to play New Mexico.
This game, the Wright State game, the Xavier game and the one against Marshall won't hurt our RPI too much.

It'll help if Oregon and Iowa State keep winning.

Anyone who listened to Mick after the game knew he is frustrated with the offense. Unlike some I don't see a scheme problem, I see a team that plays outside itself too much. There is way too much one on one and not nearly enough passing. I did see a few decent screens tonight but not enough.

IQ is the other issue. Cincinnati could have got to the rack at will tonight. Instead they settled for jump shots. Kilpatrick has to be more assertive and the team needs to do a better job getting him open. Cash is not facilitating nor directing. Sanders and Parker are the only two I see the past couple games playing smart basketball.

I actually thought Guyn played better tonight. Yes he gets out of control, i.e. Rubles, but even Nelson mentioned he has been working extremely hard in practice and is looking better. Rubles could really be a very good player if he would play within the flow of the game...back to iq.

Think the more Thomas plays the better he'll get. There is just an air to that guy imo.

BTW!, best spot on sportscenter I have seen in years on the Bearcats game. Good to see the CPaw front and center on television.
