Message: [QUOTE="cohenzone, post: 2573735, member: 504"] Really? They played good defense in their late run. It counts, but without a great save by Brinah, we are out in game one. But they played D and O totally inconsistently that season just as in every season since. Ollie certainly deserves credit for the late season run that year, but that run has obscured what that regular season was like. If recruiting was bound to fall off for us in the AAC from the Big East, you would think Cincinnati would be having the same issue. But they aren’t and they haven’t won any recent NCs so far as I know. It seems like on top of the youth and general absence of high level ability, these players are not being coached well and the frequent starting line up changes seems to me that KO isn’t sure what each player brings to the table. A word about Vital. I think he is a decent shooter and has the ability to be more than the 7th guy. In our offensive scheme,if there is one, he’s rarely set up to shoot in rhythm. And if his shot selection is suspect, I think coaching and practice can help. I think he gives a damn, too. [/QUOTE]
