Herard scored 16 on tyler Davis last season. You wanna bench him. Peters, nor herard are helping this team this year thoughQuote:

He just can?t get it to go in.
Six turnovers...
Wow, another turnover from Peters. 0-10, 7 turnovers.
That’s a recipe for disaster.Quote:

50 points.
The Hump shall remain empty.
Can someone tell me why he is still playing right now when he is a liability on the court ?
Expected loss, but really poor showing. We weren't really competitive.
Our bigs were outmatched, our G’s didn’t play well, and Cincy is a good team.
You take out Peters, this is a competive game and a possible win. Peters single handedly lost us this game. 0-11, 7 turnovers, two fouls at the end that led to five freethrow makes.Quote:

we have to have him this year. I agree with LC Dawg. We have 4 non conference games left. I would start him at off guard and see how he does. If he doesn't get it together by conference play, he is going to have to go to the bench.Quote:

Well since we don't even try to get the fall underneath or can't we might as well go back to the Stans 5 guard playbook, We get on Peters but Ado has been either a turnover machine of just plain clueless the last 5 games. Until we have confidence in the big men down under this team won't get very far.
I laughed. That?s crazy. I understand they?re pressing, but it?s really hard to get into a rhythm breaking a full court press when you keep changing people wholsale like that.Quote:

It's a two hour ride for my 16 year old son and I to go to the Hump, but I would do it if there is a good chance of a hard working "team", not AAU ball.
Ado is a presence on defense that we absolutely have to have. They barely hit 60 tonight. Our defense is ok and he’s a big part of that. We do need to improve offensively though. He needs to set screens, be able to play inside out with the ball in his hands, and hit the boards on offense because he can’t on defense (his role is to block shots).Quote:

Once you see who’s hot between Ty and Q, they play and the other rotates with Peters. Our trouble is our offensive sets. They need more disciplined plays in my opinion. We can’t find a rhythm moving the ball in a half court set. Q is the only one that moves decent without the ball in a half court set, and when that happens it’s fast break or bust.
Peters is in a fragile spot mentally right now. He is incredibly talented. Howland can't bench him completely or he'll lose him forever. A win vs Cincy isn't worth losing Peters for good. He is that fragile right now. I really hope he can pull through this. Going 0-10 can't be fun a week after almost quitting.Quote:

This is exactly why the crowds at home have been lacking!!!! 5 individuals on the court at all times. Pathetic. That schedule that J William was laughing at during halftime is the only reason we were undefeated before tonight. Going to need a huge turnaround and improvement to make any tournament.Quote:

I bet we didn't have 5 assists, could be wrong.
Ideally, it would beQuote:

Bring Carter, Datcher, and X off the bench with Carter logging starters minutes. We can't give up on Peters yet.
9 assists, 16 TOsQuote:

Didn't we win a couple of those first 8 games (strength of schedule 349) on buzzer beaters by Q?

Q and Peters were 3-23 combined. Everyone would have said those are our 2 best players heading into the season. I wouldn't mind us cutting Q's minutes a little.Quote:
