He played great tonight and is having a great season. He suffers from being a fifth year senior and being 24 years old.
Holy crap, 1990 was 24 years ago?! Damn that must make some of you feel old.

He was a good player in high school, visited UConn and wanted an offer, but he was dogged by some academic issues - if not for that, he would have entered school with a much higher profile.
He's a good player and a good (24-year old) kid.

He gets no publicity nationally because he's five years out of high school and Cincy hasn't been a national factor in any of those years.
He was far and away the best player on the court today and right now deserves the conference POY and national AA attention too.
But the media buzz is all about the freshmen and the new faces.

kudos to him for working on his game and making improvements, prior to this year he was inefficient chucker imo but not anymore. when he came off those screens or got an open 3 in transition I immediately put my head down because I knew they were going in.

I was already old in 1990
Every off-season he has worked on a weak spot in his game and improved it. His freshman year he couldn't defend to save his life, it was a strength his sophomore year. Sophomore year his biggest issue was that he never went to his left. Fixed that. Last year it was ball handling and shot selection. Both of those are greatly improved.
He is one of the hardest working players to have ever put on a Cincinnati jersey, which is saying a ton with some of the guys who have played at UC.

He seems like a good kid too, always in the middle of Rubles and Jackson when emotions run high in games………and he's improved in all aspects of his game throughout his career……….
Good for him. I guess being 24 helps no wonder it seems like he's been at Cincy for as along as Carl Krauser was at Pitt……….he can leave now!

Again he's thrown some stinkers up too so let's not go by one game. He's good but we simply saw his best last night……….it was good but if he didn't they were in huge trouble. Difference int e 2 teams was our guy threw a stinker up, theirs was his best period and we had a shot to tie with 5 seconds left……minus our 2nd best scorer……kind of like our chances at home!

Kilpatrick stayed under control all night. Bazz had an off night and let some shots fly that he shouldn't have. Some have mentioned being tired or even ill. No matter, Kilpatrick was cool as a cucumber and rarely took an off shot or was in a bad position. Kudos to him. Bazz will be better if we meet again.
