Cincinnati - Game Thread

I agree...they aren't good enough to play the zone defense.

All the pre season talk about being long and athletic has proven to be futile...they have no idea how to rotate properly in the zone. Wide open 3's are a trend EVERY SINGLE GAME

Zone is designed to make teams shoot 3's as opposed to penetrating the paint. I've seen a few wide open NBA 3's today, I'd say zone is working.

Doom and gloom. Damn down 3 on the road against a top 8 Big East team. I'll take that.

Clearly rebounding has been the biggest issue. Can't let Cincy get +10 opportunities offensively. They've taken 16 more shots and only up 3.

O/T Dave, have you heard anything about Danny Hurley lately?

I agree!  The zone is working today, as many of Cincy's 3's have been from far out.  If they wanna shoot 3's from 25 feet then let 'em have it.

 missed the first half due to my daughters birthday party.  I read through the game thread.

 i thought we were down by 15-20 points based off you guys....and this is with no IllWill.

IllWill got the seat today. Guys need to learn if they can't follow the rules, they don't have to be here.

I don't like Gift being on the perimeter so much. Get him on the block.

Nice freaking run!

Man board by Harkless and leads the break.

Heads up tap by Pointer. He grabs that and its a travel.

 Zone looks good so far. Making the guy at the FT line make decisions...He's not doing a great job.

Explodin after halftime!

Nice start to the half.  Love when we push the pace.

  We have to push the ball to be successful.  Run, run, run...

They need this game so badly. Still not scoring.  Great start to the 2nd half though.  We need Lavin back yesterday.

 Big Boy block by Gift on Gates...Nasty!

They definitely have to push the floor, they can't shoot.
