Love this years team, 13-2 great start. 13 wins -I don't care if they were pretty. If we just get rid of the traveling calls alone we win most of the rest of our games, and there is no way Cumberland stays in this funk all year long. I do think Cane needs to assert himself offensively and just hope there are no injuries. Go Cats.

Unfortunately I'm just too busy to post here much anymore (maybe fortunately for you all), but I think my last post a month or so ago was about how important Broome is to this team. From day 1 it was obvious he was the most important player for this team to make a deep run. They aren't the same without him. JJ just isn't that good. Hopefully Broome gets back and STARTS.
That said this team has problems. By far the most talented team since the Huggins years but something is off. Offense still struggles, is way to stagnant, and has no rhythm. Players are still like robots out there running the set plays rather than taking what is given. Players don't understand their roles, or Mick isn't giving them roles. I think the latter is the case. I like the potential of Williams but he doesn't have to jack up a terrible shot every time he touches a ball. His role is simple: defense and rebounding. Not shooting. Same with Trey Scott. And why the hell do they run a low post offense through Brooks when he is in the game? His role is defense and putbacks. With UC's back court of Broome (when healthy), Evans, and Cumberland, they should be the offense when Clark and Washington are on the bench, not dumping the freaking ball to Brooks. Cumberland's confidence is shattered. He was unbelievable in pre-season but he is a totally different player now. Even his passing is off. He needs to find his groove. Who gives a shit if you get a charge called, keep driving to the basket. Still plenty of time but very frustrating to see this team struggle while a much less talented X team is ranked top 5.

Also, I see what you are saying about the Florida game, and I agree, however, Florida gave UC that game and they didn't take it. Florida played like crap and UC still lost. It's one thing to just lose a close game to a good team, it's another to play terrible and throw a way a chance for a decent win. I think Cumberland's confidence is gone, but I also think it has something to do with teams now have better scouting on him. It's obvious they want to give him the shot and take a way the drive. They aren't following for the pump fake. He needs to put that in his pocket and be quicker with his decisions. Catch the ball, attack the basket. |

This thread proves what I have said for years. I never understood why someone wants to post during the game. Maybe it's my age but there are too many emotions during the game, I'd rather yell at the TV, LOL. I am sure we all have negative thoughts towards players and coaches at times, I just let myself cool down before I would put them in print.

1. What makes you think we have more talent than x? X has an entire roster of top 100 players or at worst seniors. They can’t defend anyone. It will bite them in the ass sooner or later 2. Tre Scott never shoots the ball. Why would you include him in the conversation of Williams? And Keith probably hits 3’s in practice otherwise Cronin wouldn’t let him take open 3’s... and even then Williams is only shooting wide open 3’s in rythem with the offense. He isn’t taking step back contested jumpers 3. Did you see how well brooks had played leading up to this game? He had actually started developing a quick move towards the basket and was converting. Clark and Kyle were in foul trouble, so brooks had to play and they wanted to see what he can do especially when 3’s weren’t falling. He is playing in front of his home crowd. They gave him a shot. And this is in general; people are acting like we’ve played this bad all year. We haven’t. It’s ond bad game at temple which is the norm. |
