Positives

Davenport is good. I know a lot of people weren’t big on him but I think he could be an all league player next year or his senior year. Can shoot, plays hard and rebounds. Still reminds me a lot of Nate Hinton from Houston.

Harvey looks more comfortable each game.

Eason missed a lot of easy shots and still looks lost but still finished with 7 rebounds. Solid for a bad game.

That can be 3 starters going forward. Need more but that is something.

No it’s just a question of coaching ability. People say the roster sucks and I just want to understand what people think if a different coach was at the helm

They’d be better. His whole system is designed to muck up the game and have less possession. So you rarely get blown out but also lose games you shouldn’t.

I honestly think he would struggle with this roster. There is no one to make plays. He’s whole offense is iso/pick and roll, who could do that on this team?

Honestly, we get a lot of easy looks on offense. We had open threes, we can’t make them. Offensively I don’t think we are bad considering what we have.

Just feels like mick would have known his Tean was going to be a shit show offensively in the preseason and then would have had thenm defend the life outta the ball and do whatever it takes to win including teaching them to defend without fouling

Brannen either severely misevaluated his team or just flat out cannot coach good defense.


The thing about defense is... I’ve seen cincinnati teams shoot 33% and still win by 5

If you ain’t gonna score you better defend.

Mick ain't here man. He chose to leave. And frankly his time here had gone stale

Honestly that didn’t happen much. Shooting 33% and winning. Just that every time it did, cronin made a big deal about it.

Efficiency wise, this is worst offense we’ve had since 2008

Defensively it’s the worst since 2009


Kenpom goes back to 97... we’ve never shot that poorly. This is the worst in at least 23 years

Boho made a conscious choice that he wasn’t going to do what he needed to do to keep mick.

Bohn thought he could do better. But his basketball hires historically have never been good.

Isn’t the women’s team awful this year too?

Honestly do you think the roster is good? I get brannen brought these guys in but he’s only had a year and a half. You aren’t getting 5 great players in a year in a half. Cronin didn’t do that either. Took time. It’s usually a combination of players from different classes.
