November 21, 20169 yr John gave him a "what were you thinking" look.Saw that, he got a talking to right after, as well.
November 21, 20169 yr It's ugly, no doubt. BTW I still stand behind my contention that Carson is strictly a 4. No perimeter game. No handle. No outside shot. Really nice moves down low when he receives the ball from 10 in. I think Carson forgets, still, that he doesn't have to do everything anymore. He did that for the last 3 years. Him and Drew compliment each other nicely, I think.

I was thinking yesterday that CW did a very nice job of not forcing anything offensively. It's just that when he gets it on the wing he can't do much if there's much traffic around him. Maybe isolate him on one side and let him take two dribbles and a spin move that he likes to use. Otherwise, go get a board, young fella.

Otherwise, go get a board, young fella.He also didn't play very well yesterday. I think he's so used to "freelancing" that he gets lost occasionally in running a real offense. Don't take this as me knocking him, I love his game! Just observations by me so far. I'm beyond ecstatic I get to watch him play at NKU, such an amazing asset to the team!

First time watching them this year. Is Faulkner not playing much?
November 21, 20169 yr First time watching them this year. Is Faulkner not playing much?No, not yet. I think his playing time will increase, but not much. There was talk of a redshirt, but don't think that's going to happen either. He can definitely help the team this year!
November 21, 20169 yr We have found the worst FT shooter in quite a while. Anyone see Tate put 2 in a row off the backboard? Not only that his form was terrible. I can't believe a coach wouldn't see this and do something.
November 21, 20169 yr I think Carson forgets, still, that he doesn't have to do everything anymore. He did that for the last 3 years. Him and Drew compliment each other nicely, I think. He is still a somewhat raw freshman trying to find his way on a team where others can help him. He will be just fine. I agree about him playing with McDonald. If he gets open down low Drew will get him the ball because he is an outstanding passer and sees the floor really well. I'm sure his free throw shooting will get better as he settles in to the college game.

November 21, 20169 yr Announced attendance of 1,200, which based on first-hand account, sounds way too high. What has happened to Miami athletics?
November 22, 20169 yr Announced attendance of 1,200, which based on first-hand account, sounds way too high. What has happened to Miami athletics? Their football program has turned around the last 5 weeks and can qualify for a bowl with a win tonight. Talking to a Miami booster he told the basketball coach came in and tried to turn the program around by bringing in a lot of transfers and Jucos and it just backfired. I hate a school that tries to rely on this because I think it really hurts recruiting. Kids are reluctant to go there because they never when the coach will bring in an older player that will take their place. Don't know any program that is consistently sucessful doing it this way.
November 22, 20169 yr John Cooper was an AWFUL basketball hire. I'm sure the Miami administration enjoyed the close up of one of the guys they didn't hire.
November 22, 20169 yr Announced attendance of 1,200, which based on first-hand account, sounds way too high. What has happened to Miami athletics? I mentioned the same in an earlier post about another game in the tourney where I saw the highlights. Maybe it was for every game combined including teams and concession workers?
November 22, 20169 yr I mentioned the same in an earlier post about another game in the tourney where I saw the highlights. Maybe it was for every game combined including teams and concession workers? One of my favorite Gillen-isms, "...they were counting eyeballs, not noses..."
November 22, 20169 yr One of my favorite Gillen-isms, "...they were counting eyeballs, not noses..." Since it seems like a common practice by many to do that in college sports, is the same true for schools like UK, UL and Syracuse?
