Brooks was lost, Broome had several chances to drive the ball and just pounded away the shot clock, Scott threw a couple 90mph passes inside of a phone booth. Just an off game from everyone including the coaching staff.

The one thing that stands out to me is that in 2/3 losses the Bearcats couldn't have played any worse. x flat out beat us but the losses to Florida and Houston were completely self inflicted. Not sure what that means going forward, on to Sunday.

Brooks had more rebounds (5) in 5 minutes than Washington did in 28 minutes (4). Bench made some mistakes, but that's too be expected, there's a reason the guys aren't starters and it's not like the starters played well. But they also bring fresh legs and energy and most importantly allow the starters to rest. Broome always takes a while to get into the flow of the game, didn't get enough minutes to have a chance of that last night.
