I think we all trust Clark to make the right play. I'm starting to get sad thinking about him being in his final year. It's going to be really weird when he's gone. He's such a steady force and we never have to worry about him being a liability in any way. I think he's going to go down as one of the all-time favorite players for most of us. Hard to say a negative thing about the guy. I hope he gets the respect he deserves this year and makes AAC 1st team. It was pretty hilarious last year when we went 16-2 in the league and Evans and Clark were nowhere to be found on the conference awards.

You are right! We have had a mixture in Cronin's tenure of guys who can play some offense and some who are excellent defenders. These may be the top 2 all around players in the Cronin era when you consider both O and D and overall stats. Like you said...you don't have to worry about them when they are on the court...just let them play. They know what to do and they don't complain. EVER!! They don't grandstand when they make a great play.

Two all around great kids. Two very smart players. Not a bad thing to say about either one. They deserve to be on the awards list. If there wasn't so much importance put on ppg in conference awards they would both be unanimous picks for all around game. It's a shame they didn't get recognition. I hope they take it personal and put that chip right on their shoulder and make sure the voters eat some crow this year.

Daaaang, this team is stacked. Can we please have a midnight madness or at least an afternoon one?? Free admission, charge concessions. Get people comfortable going to NKU.

I love Gary Clark. He will absolutely go down as one of my favorite Bearcats in my 25-ish years of fandom.

I'm with others here -- I want Evans looking for his shot on every possession. Same goes for Cumberland. Both are high percentage shooters with the skill to score in multiple ways. I am always a believer in the ball touching the post whenever possible, but I want our wing players to be aggressive. If defenses have to respect their ability to both drive and shoot, we will be very difficult to guard.

Really think the topic title is a bit misleading. I want the ball in the hands of the guy who is capable of making a good basketball play. That entails finding the open man, Drawing a foul on the opposition or knocking down the open shot.

Nothing about Evans or Clark's game screams those things. Both very good players but neither has shown himself as a guy who is comfortable creating for themselves.

With the clock running down on this team the ball should start in Broome's hand. He gives you all three senarios I mentioned.

LOL, how could you possibly know this considering you've never seen him play a real game in a Bearcats uniform?

Not saying that he won't ultimately be the best solution, but making that statement today based on nothing but speculation, is completely ridiculous.

so nice to hear from you. Lol! I am a member of bearcat journal. There has been much talk concerning his abilities and what he has shown to this point. I am basing my opinion on people who have seen him play many times. To your point I would rather see him myself but I have not been afforded that opportunity. So sorry you find my comment completely ridiculous. Didn't mean to disappoint you.

Broome. Either by creating for others or himself. He's the real deal. It's that simple.
