BULLDOG OUT!

It was rough to get that heartbreaking update last night. Through the highs and lows and countless debates surrounding UC sports, the consistent love and support for Kelly and the Brendel family has united us all.

Looks like UConn and Colorado could be the top candidates to replace Texas and Oklahoma in the B12. I wonder if we'll end up with two divisions, maybe east-west:

Cincinnati, UConn, West Virginia, UCF, Iowa St, Kansas, Kansas St

Baylor, Houston, TCU, Texas Tech, Oklahoma St, Colorado, BYU

Or swap BYU and UCF and call it north-south. There's also a lot of rumors about Arizona and Gonzaga. What a ridiculous basketball conference that would be.

We're two days away from the return of Bearcat (alumni) basketball with the start of the 2023 TBT tournament.

Nasty Nati, who's 2022 TBT debut ended in a 1st round defeat, open this year's competition as the #6 seed in the Xavier Regional where they'll take on #3 seed, The Money Team.

Here is the team:

Coaching Staff
Co-Head Coach: Cane Broome
Co-Head Coach: Cashmere Wright
GM/Asst Coach: Kevin Johnson
Asst Coach: Kevin Anzenberger (former UC Video Coordinator)

Roster
Coreontae DeBerry
Deshaun Morman
Jacob Evans
Jarron Cumberland
Keith Williams
Mamoudou Diarra
Marquez Letcher-Ellis (Rice University)
Shaquille Thomas
Tre Scott
Troy Caupain

Nasty Nati will play at 6 pm on Friday, July 21st at the Cintas Center.

Their game will also be streamed on ESPN+.

Looking forward to watching these guys again. Deshaun Morman isn't a name I expected to see. Looks like he last played in Africa over a year ago and shot only 38%.

The TMT team we're facing tonight is pretty accomplished. Most of the team has NBA/G-League experience.

Here is the roster and how they fared in their last year of college basketball.

CJ Elleby - 6'6 - Washington St - 18.4 ppg, 7.8 rpg (19/20)
Corey Davis - 6'1 - Houston - 17.0 ppg, 3.3 rpg (18/19)
Devin Booker - 6'8 - Clemson - 13.1 ppg, 7.5 rpg (12/13)
Devin Davis - 6'7 - Houston - 10.9 ppg, 6.3 rpg (17/18)
James Batemon - 6'1 - Loyola Marymount - 16.4 ppg, 3.6 apg (18/19)
Jeff Ledbetter - 6'3 - Idaho - 12.8 ppg, 2.9 rpg (10/11)
Jordan Crawford - 5'6 - Bowling Green - 15.0 ppg, 4.3 apg (12/13)
Kyle Vinales - 6'1 - Central Connecticut St - 17.3 ppg, 3.9 apg (13/14)
Peyton Aldridge - 6'7 - Davidson - 21.1 ppg, 7.6 rpg (17/18)
Terrico White - 6'5 - Ole Miss - 15.1 ppg, 4.6 rpg (10/11)
Tomislav Zubcic - 6'11 - Croatia - Drafted 56th in 2012 NBA Draft
Trevor Booker - 6'7 - Clemson - 15.2 ppg, 8.4 rpg (09/10)

Hopefully our "youth" is an advantage against a team where over half the roster is in their early-mid 30s.

Nasty Nati is down 48-42 at the half thanks to a Jarron buzzer beater 3 that stopped the bleeding of a late half implosion.

Tre Scott and Keith Williams are MIA (not playing) and sorely missed.

Nasty Nati wins! Cumberland finishes them off with a long three. I really enjoyed watching the former UC players play, Cumberland and Evans provided most of the offense, Diarra and Letcher-Ellis brought energy, effort and defense and Caupain was the solid PG.

Not sure why Tre Scott didn't play, hopefully he will be able to play in the next game. Keith would be nice to have as well, though I don't think he'd start on this team.

Second half was a masterpiece.

I can't help but feel proud regardless of the stakes.

Nasty Nati starts the game down 6-0 to Zip em up but rips off an 18-0 run to end the quarter with a 22-9 lead. Tremendous defensive effort.

Queens_NYC · 07-22-2023, 07:58 PM

Nasty Nati was up 30-11 early in the 2nd quarter before a very sloppy finish allowed Zip em up to cut into the lead. 35-28 at halftime.
