It's a lot harder to create when teams evaluate you as the teams 2nd best scorer then it is when teams evaluate you as the 4th or 5th best scorer. Hopefully, as other players (Scott, Williams, Johnson and even Brooks/Nsoseme) develop into bigger scoring threats it will make it easier on Broome. This is true for Cumberland as well, but Cumberland is big and strong enough that he can take the other teams best defender. Cumberland is also such a good passer that it keeps opposing D's a little more honest.

Yes it's going to be tougher to score for everyone. We just have to knock down our open looks at an acceptable rate to take some of the pressure off of Cumberland or Broome. Put a couple of buckets in from the block as well. We gotta make at least 1 out of 3 from deep.

Easier said than done I guess but no excuse for missing that many open shots and bunnies really. It should come along.

I say final will be 78 to 55

Is this game on Fox Sports Ohio? My ESPN app says ESPN3, the gobearcats site has a link to watchespn. It was a cluster the night trying to find the game. Don't want a repeat of that.

My out of town son watched North Carolina Central on the ESPN app. Locally we had to watch it on foxsportgo app. Late in the 2nd half I found the game on the Fox Sports Alternate channel via Fioptics but the game was listed as something else in the guide.

I'm also hoping to see either Broome, Moore or Fredericks finally show up (or Diarra, but that seems unlikely), this team needs one of the backup guard/forwards to take a big step forward on offense.

I tend to be the result oriented. Loyalty to players who have been there for you is important, results matter more. Hell, if Sam Martin can consistently hit threes and defend? He’s my starter. If Keith Williams can start to dominate like he did in the last game I don’t care if Broome sits on the bench all year.
Obviously we need contributions from everyone and team chemistry is important, but you gotta go with who gives you the results

Does anyone know if this will be televised on any other channel besides ESPN 3? Thanks

Agree. And I’d settle for 1 3 from the pure shooter. He has to get it going.

Cronin put Cane back in the starting lineup. Good to see a merit has nothing to do with who starts.

Good, let’s hope he provides some positive impact early.

Didn’t realize Jennifer has a stomach virus. I hope he feels better but we missed a huge opportunity-should’ve started Kevin Johnson big mistake.
