most teams we'll face in conference just don't have 5's that can shoot like the mid major OOC teams. that was always going to be the case. i was surprised to see he was able to protect the rim vs houston's quickness, even when he was already by the rim. he did a great job of blocking shots without fouling. |

I think we finally learned to funnel guys into him. He doesn’t need to be very close to block shots. Just need our guards to lead their man to him and have him go after the ball and still not get within two feet of the shooter. I think he’s also getting better at moving his feet. He was isolated on to mate Hinton at one point and forces him to pass the ball. What I like about Vogt is he is probably the most coach able player we’ve ever had at UC. He takes in critiques and makes the changes. He’s grown as a defender and rebounder a great deal in just 21 games My only wish is that we had him for longer |

Wonder if any bb recruits were in attendance? That atmosphere could help win some guys over.

That jump in January is in large part moving Jarron to point but we are getting some improvements from certain bench players and Keith and Tre have cut way down on the 2pt jumpers lately. Our D has been getting better and better. Just hope it didn’t happen too late

Jarron at the point (and his overall improved play in conference) is the biggest difference. Diarra has also made quite an improvement (he still leads us in ORTG in conference). Tre/Keith have also improvements, mostly by knowing their role and not trying to do too much. Vogt has improved defensively and gradually is learning to deal with more athletic bigs. The 5 players listen above can generally relied upon on both ends on the court to know their role, play within it and provide quality minutes. We could use improvement from McNeal, MAW, Harvey and/or Jaevin. They each have lacked on one side of the court or the other, but Brannen can mix and match them to give us some minutes. If Harvey can continue to play like he last night though, he will be separating himself from the pack. |

All these Monday morning QBacks should go back to the beginning of this thread to see what the definition of fickleness is. A bunch of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hydes. Basically giving up then reveling in victory. What happened to "fight to the finish never give in"? Or don't you know your own fight song? I watched the game as I do every game. I may have been frustrated with their play initially, but I never got down on them. Yelled at them, yes. Yelled encouragement, yes. Got frustrated, yes- especially when Jarron couldn't make a FT. But give up? Never - until the clock runs out. When I used to live in Cincy and attend the games live, I NEVER left a game before it was over. Sounds like this thread would have been gone by halftime. But, Jon Rycek is right - nothing more entertaining than watching the board melt down when we're losing! Keep up the good work, thread contributors.
