I would probably debate your point about Kyle's importance in contribution but it's interesting to look at so thanks for posting. In terms of D Gary is the better player by far so his all around importance is probably on par with Evans. Kyle is in the top 3 for sure IMO...even lacking D and assists. Troy is in the top 4 because he has the ball in his hands the most. As of right now I am leaning towards Cumberland being a major factor in what we do in March. He has shown some abilities that we need and the rest of the perimeter players aren't as good at. Of course KJ's D and knocking down a couple of 3's per game will be a solid factor. |

I can almost guarantee you that somewhere on a message board there is a group of UNC fans freaking out about that loss. If anything most Cincinnati fans are more tolerant of and more accustomed to losing than the majority of other fan bases. |

Another observation I would like to throw out there is concerning Evans. its constantly pointed out that he needs to be more aggressive. I couldn't agree more. Athletically he is probably our best player. According to Mick he is our best pro prospect. To this point in his career I would label him full of potential. But plenty less talented players do far more with the basketball to help there team win. He needs to add getting to the rim and drawing fouls to his game. getting the other team in foul trouble and shooting fouls is essential for him and this team to take the next step. He needs to be the man who carries this team offensively. TC, KJ, Clark or Washington, none have his skills. If Cumberland can routinely get to the rim and draw fouls or dish no reason he can't/ The time is now for him. Without him adding this to the game this year I'm afraid we may be in for a early exit. If he stands at the arc waiting to shot 3's we will not have the season we all want. Time for him to grow a pair.

My biggest concern with both this and the Rhode Island games are its not like the opponent played a great game. In the Rhode Island game their starting PG was knocked out of the game in the first half and their best big man was in foul trouble all game. If you told me we were going to lose to UCF, I would have imagined that Matt Williams went crazy from three but he actually played an awful game. Very concerning Mick!

The loss had a lot more about how we played than how they played. Last edited by 2bearcatdad; 02-28-2017 at 02:55 PM. |

Just watched the highlights of the UCF game, I already knew he had the best pump fake on the team (he got 2 UCF players in the air one time and then split them) but he is by far the best at feeding the post also.

Clark, Washington, and Caupain did not get to the line. KJ shot 1 FT. Between pushing the pace against good defensive teams and trying to drive more I believe is the key to having more road success. We have proven we aren't going to make a high % of shots...so we need to try for more layups and getting fouled. Last edited by waterhead; 03-02-2017 at 08:18 AM. |
