Crowd:
1) Kudos to the fans who went. They brought a lot of energy, and the crowd really was trying to will the team to victory.
2) Bazz: He was given a great ovation when he was shown on the big board. Also loved the fact that he really got into the game, during crunch time when the crowd was on its feet he was also standing up and jumping as though he was in the student section.
Players:
1) Dham: First his defense he just has no real desire to play defense, he constantly leaves his man and really has a hard time stopping opponents from driving in on him. Then on offense, he is an asset when he gets the rebound and pushes the tempo, and he can be a great distributor but he is just not a very good shooter. People say he needs to get out of his slump but before todays game he was shooting 38% from the field (not very good) that is his exact shooting percentage for all of last year. Since the beginning of the season, the team is undefeated when he takes less than 10 field goal attempts in game. After 20 games into the season it no longer is just a coincidence but a reality that the team fares better when Dham shoots less.
2) Miller: Love the guy. I think he is our best offensive player. He played his heart out today, I am not sure if it got captured on video but there was several times that Miller fell to the ground by giving it his all by flying in for the rebounds. He grabbed 8 but went after many more. The last offensive rebound was reflection of his desire to win the game, he seemed to come out of nowhere to grab the board amongst 3 Cincy players.
3) Jalen: Good things happen when he drives to the rim, not so much when he shoots from behind the arc.
4) DHam and Gibbs with the ball in their hands with less than 10 seconds on the shot clock: ... bad things happen
Season:
Very frustrating. This team plays great defense (except for Dham) and when Amida gets back they will be an even stronger defensive unit; they really are playing championship level defense. The offense only needs to be decent for us to win any game, but many times we play very poorly on the offensive end.
I still have hope only because SMU is not in the AAC tournament and all the other AAC teams are beatable, we don't need to win the rest of the games this season, all we need to do is win three games come AAC tournament and we are in. Given the parity in college bball this season anything can happen if we get in the big dance.
