Title: If you want to talk about the game against Cincinnati
Post by: kso_FAN on March 15, 2017, 06:43:02 AM
post here.

Completely different pace, defense, etc. Will be an interesting contrast in style from Wake.

The most comparable Big 12 teams is probably Baylor. Extremely slow paced team and offensively they are okay shooting and only average from behind the arc. A major difference from Baylor is they don't turn it over at all and though they are very good oboarding, they aren't nearly as dominant on the glass. Very similar defensive profile to Baylor as well, except they like to force TOs.

smdh  :lol:

i don't really see them as a 6 seed unless you look only at their 29-5 record.  when you look inside those 29 wins, you see a bunch of mongloid rubes who can't dribble the basketball down the court because their helmets get in the way.

k-state has played much better teams leading up to this game and have a higher upside than uc when they play well

uc's AD is a squawk who played football and baseball in lawrentucky and we all know how much ku athletes love to rape and beat their fair share of woman from time to time

Cronin did came up in coaching under Huggs, then under Pitino at Louisville, then as a head coach at Murray State. I've always been a fan of how his teams play.

But he's also a bit of a whiner: http://www.wcpo.com/sports/college-sports/university-of-cincinnati-sports/mick-cronin-addresses-whether-the-cincinnati-bearcats-got-a-raw-deal-from-selection-committee

Vs KenPom top 100, in the 10 R/N games... I'm almost surprised they even score 1.01 PPP with such bad eFG and very average FTR. They do better than us on TO% and OR% I guess though.

Post by: kso_FAN on March 15, 2017, 10:59:03 AM
Evans vs Wes and Washington vs DJamer will be some fun individual match ups to watch.

I'm anxious to see how good their defense really is. Every game against SMU (by far the best team they've played) they gave up 1.10 ppp or more. They managed to score with them at home, but their road/neutral offense/shooting is pretty poor.

Those 7 games vs KenPom and RPI Top 50 (SMU 3x, at Butler, at Iowa St, Xavier, Rhode Island)....Only the clones had a poor performance offensively (54 pts in about 62 Poss).  The other 6 games, Cincy D was bad enough to allow the 1.11 PPP for all 7 games)

The 9 games vs KenPom 51-100 were all teams that didn't make the tourney(pretty sure anyway). They clearly had more success in those 9 games, but the competition wasn't as good

Cincinnati is probably the team outside of the conference that I have watched the most this year. Evans is super skilled with the ball and can score it, but I think Wes is still better all around. Washington can be tough, but DJamer will be more physical. I'm not sure Washington will respond well to physicality, something he hasn't faced much this year. Troy Caupain is the heart and soul of this team. I could see him being the best guard on the floor tomorrow night. UC is mentally tough and Cronin teams do not quit. This'll be a close battle and nothing will come easy, as it was against Wake -- who were softer than I ever thought a P5 tourney team could be. Overall, I think we match up well with them and are riding some confidence at the moment. Cats by 3.

Yeah, we've blown some games, but Wake was like the opposite of that.

Wake hit a 3 to cut the lead to 64-62 with just 10 minutes to go.....

All we did rest of the game is go 6-7FG with 2 3pt. Our 1 miss we got the OR. We hit 15-22 FTs with only 1 TO.
31 Pts in final 18 Possessions. That's how you close

Kansas State might have come out on top against Wake Forest, but the roles will be reversed when they meet up with Cincinnati on Friday. The Bearcats superior offense will allow them to take advantage of the Wildcats taxing 24-hour travel schedule to move on.

Former Mizzou forward Kim English was on Border Patrol this morning. He coaches at Tulsa. He said Cincy uses a matchup zone that is pretty effective. Tulsa played them 3x

SMU was the best defensive team Cincy played. I think I've read that SMU really does a good job on help D and not allowing many easy 2pt shots.  In the 3 games they played, 50.0% of Cincy's shot were 3s. 1 game they shot 32 3pt and 17 2pt.  The Bearcats made 33% of the 82 3pt they attempted, but hit under 40% of the 2PTA

Cincy gets very little production, outside of Cumberland, from their bench.  These are the other 4 guys they can play...

Scott 6'8, Last 11games played 6 min/g. Only 14 pts, 38%eFG (5-13 shooting)
Brooks 6'11, Last 13 games played 5.5 min/g. 13 pts, 30%eFG (3-10)
Jenifer 5'10, Last 12 games played 10 min/g. 12 pts, 34%eFG (5.5-16)
Moore 6'8, Last 11 games played 6 min/g. 18 pts, 27%eFG (6.5-24)

As was said before K-State is a poor mans version of UC. There is no reason we should lose this game, we are better on defense and have better offensive weapons. That being said their similar style will keep the game relatively close if they can score consistently. We hit our shoots we win easily, we have a bit of an off night I still thing we pull it out. I see the are winning anywhere from 5-15, but I'm gonna go with 71-59

If we can't beat a team that was in the bottom half of the Big 12, I guess we should be glad we didn't get in?

I think they feel pretty confident with that 29-5 record.  I feel somewhat confident that they have only made 42% from 2pt & 30% from 3pt in their 10 games away from home (vs top 100). Our D has its ups and downs, but the 1.03 PPP we gave up in our last 8 R/N Big12 games is at least a tad better than average.

They lost to SMU by 9 & 15. And only put up 0.83 PPP in a 53-49 loss to UCF. That's their 3 toughest R/N games the past 6 weeks.

Prediction:
Kansas State might have come out on top against Wake Forest, but the roles will be reversed when they meet up with Cincinnati on Friday. The Bearcats superior offense will allow them to take advantage of the Wildcats taxing 24-hour travel schedule to move on.

The Bearcats "superior" offense...clearly an indication this guy has no idea what's going on.

However blustery the Bearcat message boards are about their prospects, I do generally agree that they are a better version of us. But not that much better and without a clear go to guy in crunch time -- however, I see Evans becoming this guy more and more, and Caupain is never scared in late game situations. We've got to be hitting jumpers -- I don't see Dean handling this matchup well, so Kamau and Barry stroking it is super important. We've played a more rugged schedule, I hope that experience puts us over the top.
