Davis just contorts his body and refs call a foul

If we can get this lead under ten at the half it would be a win...

Bearcats have 16 points in the paint. They are running good offense. Just can't hit a shot.

Why did we run Vik out to double there? Gave Memphis a wide open look.

They wanted to force the ball out of Davis" hands. Not a bad idea but horrible rotation out of it

Doesn't help that the officials have decided to call a Cincinnati-Memphis game tighter than any basketball game I've seen this year...

Not to mention the hack crew calling the game on ESPN2... Might as well just have the Memphis radio crew on.

They really LUV them some Memphis.

UC won't win many games when they play/shoot like this.

Hitting easy shots is also good offense. See Memphis. We put up too many bricks from treyland. 1/13. How many more attempts do we need to say, you know what, maybe we shouldn't keep throwing up bricks and run something else that can work. The problem is this team is never consistent with "good" offense.

Why didn’t Hensley or Uzipke come in for JD in that final defensive possession? Is Hensley being pushed out to open up a scholarship?

Not sure they can play much worse than that. Hopefully they start hitting some shots. I think they've missed 12 or 13 threes in a row since Nolley hit the opening shot.

The way Davenport is shooting today I could guard him and he wouldn't score.

Well, one team at this point in time, has a better program, coaching, recruiting and players. Not hard to figure out which one. Really hope that James kid can play.....

Desperately need to improve our quality of athlete next season otherwise we're looking at 12-14 wins tops.

I had to turn the sound down. Clark knows absolutely nothing about this year's UC team.

This is exactly what a lot of games are going to look like next year, get used to it........

Ezikpe is not a like for like replacement for Davenport...it's Oguama or Reed at this point. Either Hensley is hurt or he's being shown the door.

It's easy to judge offense by whether the ball goes in or not. You can run bad offense and get hot. You can run good offense, go cold, and miss shots you can make.

I care about whether we're getting good looks. We are. We're getting paint touches that have turned into baskets. We're getting wide open jumpers that have not. Just because you miss a shot doesn't mean it was a bad shot.

I was disappointed in the defense more than the offense that half

I'm not judging anything...I'm watching it in real time. You have to make the ball go in the bucket, I get that, but you can run offense that gives you better looks when jacking up threes with no one in position to grab a board repeatedly fails...
