Cincy looked really good last night. Drake is a one of the better teams in the MVC and Cincy completely dominated Drake late in the 1st half.
I really like the guys Brannen brought in as transfers. Vogt and Sorolla are no-nonsense bigs who remind me a lot of Jack Salt...play tough D, hard working, good pick-and-roll players. The other Cumberland is a microwave scorer who replaces Cane Broome perfectly.
The biggest surprise is Chris McNeal. Pretty pedestrian stats from his New Mexico and Western Kentucky days, but last night he was a confident, pesky point guard with a solid handle and limited mistakes.
Often times I'm lukewarm on coaches bringing in tons of transfer talent to retool the program they are entering, but the four guys Brannen brought in allow their younger, long-term prospects like Harvey, Adams-Woods and Diarra to develop at their own pace.
It’s pretty mind blowing and frustrating to see Brennan come from a mid-major and instantly add 2 really solid transfer bigs while we struggled to even add a single one in the 3 years following a National Championship.
Tied at half 27-27. Michigan Creighton also a great game, 4 to go in half and a 1 point gameFresh off a loss to Nicholls, Pitt is getting all it can handle from RMU.
Lets Go Bobby Mo
They will win plenty of games on their D aloneI think Cincy looks very beatable this year, and to me, a noticeable drop off from the last cpl of years. Outside of Jarron Cumberland, not a lot of scorers. They still have that tough, in your face, mentality.
Thank you Boneyard for ignoring this post and thereby nullifying the jinx.Evansville up 5 on Kentucky 7 minutes into the second half...
Although Trey has 16pts and 5reb I’ve been catching a little bit of the game and he is SO LAZY off the ball just standing there and is trying to go through double teams instead of passing the ball. I think Josh could go for 30 against Northeastern who has no big men. He lacks the explosiveness but still has good footwork and finishing around the net. Would be a great player if he was active around the ball and had more b-ball IQ
I know Memphis is going to lose this game but my god they are talented, they are going to be a tough matchup for us.
I question if Memphis even has any set offenses. They are talented, young, and run wild and free. Almost reminds me of the Loyola Marymount University team in the late 80s.Memphis' shot selection is terrible. Some of their shots are so low percentage that they are effectively turnovers. Too bad, because this is a fun game to watch.
UCF and Miami in a battle.
