I think there's little doubt that as of right now Danny Fortson was a better,harder working, and more productive player than Gates right now. But who do you think had/s more talent?
Ibrahima!
There's a reason you're always open from 3. You suck at shooting them! Please stop!
Otherwise you're playing a good game, especially defensively.
UC is finally ranked. Now they enter the killer portion of their schedule. After Xavier their next 4 games are at #7 Vilanova, S. Florida, at #4 Syracuse, and at #15 Notre Dame.
5 of our 8 games against ranked teams are on the road.

[b]Time to revive this thread.[/b] The team looks much more cohesive this year. Chemistry is HUGE in basketball and this team seems to have better chemistry with no "stars" as opposed to standing around and watching Lance and Deonta last year. I also love the hustle this year. Mick hopefully has grown as a coach.
Justin Jackson is my favorite Bearcat. Cashmere has improved nicely as has Dixon and Bishop. Bishop will be our MVP this year IMO. Add Yancy and Ibrahima and you've got a pretty decent roster.
Kilpatrick needs to work on allowing the game come to him as it seems as if he's pressing at times. Understandable for a freshman though. He'll gain more experience and settle down. He's a scorer.....we'll need him to do just that in B-EAST play.
So far this year, I like what I see as far as progression. And even though Oklahoma isn't as good as years past, they're still a nice team to play to gauge where you're at. Then Miami (OH) at Millet Hall and Crosstown Shootout. Should be fun.

I've been trying to do that since late October.
Welcome to the party!
That was an ugly second half. But it was nice to see them finish. This is the kind of game they lost last year.
But I wouldn't recruit a point guard who can't shoot free throws.
Nice article on Yancey Gates. Looks like he finally "gets it". He could push UC into the top half of the Big East.
