What Cincinnati Bearcats basketball is missing over a year

The men’s basketball at the University of Cincinnati Bearcats began the new year in the ninth week of the Associated Press survey and in the survey of the USA Today Coaches. Since then it has been a steady decline from a 10: 1 record to 12-7 when they prepare in Utah on Tuesday evening.

The fights actually started with the beginning of the Big 12 game on December 30th in the state of Kansas, when the Bearcats dropped a street game for which they were to win 68-60 in the wildcats. The state of Kansas only hit 23 in West Virginia at home, but has a record overall and in the league (2-6).

The loss of the state of Kansas followed three defeats in a row, which increased UC an unfortunate start of 0: 4 in BIG 12, which were saved in the fifth third arena by their 54:40 defeat against Kansas. The Bearcats led the Jayhawks by one point in half, but scored only 15 more points.

UC recovered with a street victory in Colorado and a home win against Arizona State. Defensively, they had number 2 from the three-point line against the deep ball, which came into their home game against Texas Tech.

Twenty-seven 3-point later (12 against Texas Tech, 15 at BYU), they fell to 52th place in the country and allows a little more than 30% behind the bow. Byu lit the editor to 62.5% and 73.3% (11-against-15 in the second half).

UC is now 2-5 in January and 2-6 in the BIG 12, which appears in Utah on Tuesday evening. The 80-52-drubbing on Saturday at BYU was the fourth two-digit loss of the Bearcats, and there are two months to play. Last year UC only lost two digits against Dayton, TCU and Baylor.

After Texas Tech and BYU kept average teams in the lower 60s, they combined the bearing with 161 points.

So what is the difference?

Comparison 2023-24 Cincinnati Bearcats with 2024-25

In January 2024, UC No. 12 BYU increased in her own arena, 71-60 with a starting line-up by Viktor Lakhin, Dan Skillings Jr., John Newman III, Simas Lukošius and the day of the day. Lakhins in Clemson, Newman is overseas and Thomas no longer begins.

Aziz Bandaogo and Jizzle James each came 12 points from the bank. Saturday they combined 10 as a starter. The 2024 Bearcats exceeded BYU 45-38, while the crew was on the boards on Saturday at halftime 20-17 and was exceeded 17: 8 from there. UC was from the ARC for 40% 6-to-15 for 28% of BYU 13: 46. The Cougars threw three like lay-ups on Saturday, while UC was 5-to-28, almost 18%.

Were the change of personnel better?

This can only really be answered in March, but for the time being, the Bearcats lack 9.2 points and 5.4 rebounds from a reliable, closed Newman. Miller repeatedly said to his team: “John Newman doesn’t go through this door!”

Dillon Mitchell provided 10.7 points and 6.5 rebounds, but neither the three -point skills that Newman had nor the leadership. For his defense, he is a new transfer from Texas, in which Newman had extensive experience with Wes Miller.

Please, Mr. Postman

While he was put on the bench at the end of last season, Viktor Lakhin, 6-foot 11, had 9.2 points and six rebounds in his first Big 12 season. Lakhin is now in the ACC with Clemson with an average of 10.2 points and six rebounds and he can occasionally hold down a 3 pointer.

Jamille Reynolds saw 6-foot-11 how his playing time decreased, and switched to USF, where he achieved an average of 11.6 points and 7.3 rebounds in the AAC. In his Big 12 season with UC, he scored an average of 5.5 points and four rebounds, but offered more movements in the color.

The 7-foot Aziz Bandaogo is currently 7.8 points and six rebounds. His points rose from 6.6, but the rebounds have dropped of 7.4. The Bearcats back -up production has dropped from 39.5 to 36.5. Bandaogo came to UC from Utah Valley, where he scored an average of 11.5 points and 10.4 points, if not in the BIG 12 competition.

The 6-foot 8-mitch had some double double for UC, but its rebounds have dropped from 7.5 in Texas to 6.5.

Paid production elsewhere for Cincinnati Bearcats

To be fair, most were enthusiastic about the number of returning players who brought Wes Miller back to UC. To be honest, you can say with certainty in view of the structure of College basketball finance data that this is associated with a certain amount of money.

Dan Skillings Jr. was in the eye at BYU and held six points and a rebound, but his rating fell from 12.9 points to 11.3, and his rebound has dropped from 6.4 per game to only 3.9.

Jizzle James was most effective from the bank last season, but shone in his two starts in the NIT. He is 10.4 per game of UCS quarter’s goal scorer, compared to 8.8 last season. After two-digit two-digit games, he was recorded from the field from the field to six points at BYU, including 0 to 5-on 3 pointers. James played only 2 out of 26 three in the Big 12 game.

In conference games, skillings are the only player who does more than 30% behind the arc of the starter with 37%. Lukošius had a terrible start, but reached 29% after he had gone 4-to-8 on the BYU. Thomas is 26% and Mitchell 23%. These figures make it difficult in an irreconcilable league with snipers at every destination.

In the Big 12, skillings are the only double -digit goal scorer at 12 per game, with Mitchell at 9.9, Lukošius at 8.8, James at 8.3 and Bandaogo only 5.3.

One could wonder if the players are hungry if you receive the financial reward for the return or change of the team. Another question may be how long you believe that you will be rewarded for the acceptance of the results.

Former cincinnati bearcats feel pain

The youngest James P. Kelly UC Athletic Hall of Famer Sean Kilpatrick made the following posts on X Sunday morning:

“I haven’t watched away for a few days because of the flu. Instead, woke up about 30 minutes ago and checked the ESPN app. My Bearcats man.”

Later, kiln patrios repeated some familiar thoughts about the current status of College basketball.

“Nil has messed up College basketball forever. It really brings you into question whether you really want to be part of something like that.”

Kilpatrick scored 2,145 points for UC and stayed with a red shirt for five years. His trainer Mick Cronin, who is currently on the UCLA, came last September because of his anchoring and believes that Kilpatricks No. 23 should be in retirement.

From 2013-2017 Kevin Johnson was a four-year-old Bearcat who worked as a color analyst in some UC programs and currently a coach at the Summit Country Day, where he won a state title. He was also involved in the efforts of the UC -TBT (The Basketball Tournament) in the last summers.

Like most who have red and black, losses for Johnson are personally.

“I rocked with a Wes and the staff, but I missed the original Bearcat basketball,” wrote Johnson on X. “Gritty, Physical, Pressing and Harte as nails. I see no persistence or will from the coaches or players .

Will cincinnati be stopped, slide?

At the moment it looks after another season minus the NCAA tournament. There is plenty of space to invent this because March is most important. UC only needs a look at what their rivals of the Victory Parkway did in 2004 when they went eight to their first elite from 10 to 9 in January. This month it was heard in the Cintas Center Boos how they were heard in the fifth third arena.

Metrics are always popular as a winter custom. Joe Lunardi from ESPN had UC as one of the “first four” in front of the BYU debacle. You have certainly got the boot for the time being until you can play as a stars that were occupied by stars in an October game that did not count against Ohio State.
