Really good article but the part at the end with the 10 or 11 guys playing has got me thinking who is not going to be playing and we have 14 players on the team so I'm guessing

Strickland- not eligible
The walk on
Davis- not talked about in article
Johnson-least talked about freshman

I hope we will play faster but I'm not counting on it. We've kind of heard that for the last couple years.

Ive heard this for years...

I have also said for years that this team would be alot better if they played at a near collision course tempo. Let the athletes get out and run.

The only way we play faster is if we can score around the rim. History is not in our favor but hopefully its different this year.

You need the athletes to play uptempo and you have to put the ball in the hoop. Hard to press off our missed shots. Hopefully as Micks recruits get better that will improve allowing us to be a team with lots of style options.

I know this is off topic but does anyone know how much tickets are for the pre season games I can't find it on go bearcats it only has regular season? Thanks

Another year, another article about UC being a fast tempo team. I'll believe it when I see it.

They still made a lot of shots over the past few years and they weren't pressing off of those.

Define lots of shots. Their shooting percentage as a team was terribly low. What they did well was play great half court defense and crash the boards for second chance points. Have no idea what team you were watching. you can't fit round objects in square holes. You play to the strengths of yor players. hopefully this new group can play uptempo. Personnaly I don't care as long as they win.

I would say he means that 10-11 guys will see significant minutes in each game...but I don't think he is saying it's always going to be the same guys.

I can see a steady 8-9 man rotation with 2-3 spots being determined by things like attitude, effort, matchups, who's practicing well, etc.
