I know that's a large part of it, but I would have still thought that if UC really wanted to be a fast team (as Mick himself states), the'd bring that number to at least below 100.

What is UC's average length of possession?

I think the problem may be some need banned. That would help a lot, trying not to is not your job, controlling the board and it's posters is.

I don't the the student section is weak in big games. Sure this season has been kinda lame but its hard to get any one amped up for those 4 shitty teams we played.

I expect it to be very loud tonight. Would love it to be a sell out but I wont count on it. Im a season ticket holder and did notice an uptick in attendance in the first game UC was ranked in the top 25

I disagree. They do not show up when class is on break but otherwise its full and loud.

Im kinda torn about the Approach tonight.

I want UC to run and get up and down the floor as fast possible tonight But at the same time, Butler has no real shot blocking threats and Our Bigs could really take over the game down low.


I think like i said previously, Maybe we start really fast and see where it gets us and then if were not having success just grind one out with our bigs.

PS who do you think will guard Rose Jones? I would like it to be Gary clark but maybe shall.

Also, I would think that Dunham has to either be guarded by Caupain or Shaq because of his height, no way cobb should do it. Cobb should stick to Tyler Lewis I would guess.

Really don't care what style we play as long as we end up with a W.

KJ as our best on the ball defender will be huge tonight. He'll get his shot at guarding Dunham and hopefully he has his offense going as well. A good game from him at both ends would be a big lift for the Cats

Having Ellis bring his game early tonight would also be helpful.

If we get off to a good start we can dictate tempo and force Butler to play to our strengths. Something we have lacked in last couple of games.

Do you think they'll go man or stick with the zone they've been playing? My guess is they stick with the zone.

I think you'll see us use the same defense with a heavy emphasis on stopping dribble penetration by their guards.

Actually Im very very disappointed in what i just saw when I went to see how many tickets were left for tonights game.

Tons and tons of tickets left it seems.

Very disappointing. Like we need a huge home court advantage and Mick went out of his way to schedule huge non conference games, People need to get off there asses and go to games
