Our 3rd best rebounder statistically, from the wing, and while only playing 15 minutes a game. He just has a nose for the ball, if his shot starts falling from outside he'll be undefendable.undetectable. He is also figuring out defensive rotations and his wingspan has already been effective with steals and blocks.

Hensley’s free throw shooting is extremely frustrating. No reason to be that sorry from the line

All these 3’s when Tulane allows the ball in the paint at will

6 point swing because of Davenport. Sounds like he’s finally starting to catch some boos

Part of the crowd boos that last Davenport off balance three. As well they should.

Looks like Oguama might be back to playing without a pair. Come on dude

Lahkin got the shaft on that third foul call.

Nice job by Davenport drawing that charge.

Not a good game by Reed so far.

Feel for Lahkin…. A few bs foul calls and a bunch of rim outs on offense

He hasn’t played enough IMO. Just got in great position for the offensive rebound leading to the tie up

I was hoping we would go on a run before Tulane did. That lead hovered at four points for too long for me to feel safe.

44 fouls today because why would we want a smooth, watchable game? Lol

Hopefully he starts eating more of Davenports minutes. He's been pretty awful this year. Even if Skillings doesn't shoot a 3 it's better than the basically turnover that is Davenport shooting one.

For his size Davenport is also an awful rebounder.

Agreed - not a good night for the refs. Way too many phantom fouls.

UC looked good though. Tulane has guys that can score and they make you pay if they get to the free throw line.

We are obviously pretty decent against teams we have more talent than.
Its odd how often it's hard to watch in stretches. First world problems. Keep winning.

I feel Hensley plays too timid. Looks too nervous at times.

Nolley shot the ball impressively and MAW had one of his best games as a Bearcat.

Good to continue our positive momentum but this win won't really move the needle too much with regards to the rest of our season. Winning on the road will be much more important.

He's physically capable and has a decent bit of raw ability but plays with no confidence/swagger.

Smart move by Wes to bury him on the bench. No need for space fillers on the floor. Let Skillings and Reed develop in his place.

Yep. That was an opponent that entered the night 160+ in NET and 110+ in Kenpom.

That's a must win kind of game at home. Got it done. On to winnable road games.

They are better than those metrics. Jalen Cook missed 5 games and he is by far their best player.
