[QUOTE="IlliniRon, post: 1677991, member: 4121"] Well, I was fooled and thought we were a top 10 team based on our talent coming into the season. We played so poorly, like the Marquette game, and got killed by Cincy. Game comments: Point guard. Need one badly. Curbelo thinks he has become a 3 point shooter but we need a leader on the floor who makes the team better, runs the offense. Shooting. It didn't show up tonight. Center/Cockburn. His hands looked really bad tonight after a great start. Maybe that's why he was not ready for the NBA last year. Defense. It looked like we would rather foul than play good defense tonight. Fouling a 90% FT shooter like Saunders is really stupid guys. Rebounding. Need to work on blocking out on defense, way too many second chances for Cincy tonight. Coaching. If Brad continues to be low key about a problem performance like this one, he has lost control of the team, and will struggle this year. He needs to get upset with poor performance and make some changes. I would bench Curbelo if he could locate a better option at PG. I guess we are likely to face Bruce Weber in the next game. So it could get worse if Weber beats us by 20 points. [/QUOTE]
