Looking for positives. We are more than competitive on the boards, and Ciaravino might be having his best game. He’s making smart plays at both ends.
Martinelli being aggressive on offense but missing on his flipper shots more than usual, but still our only real offense. Can’t understand why Collins tolerates Clayton’s missed threes but yanks others like Green when they miss.
When Mart gets his brief rests, we need Reid and Page in there. Otherwise the offense does nothing.
This is a one and a half man offense.
Same story every game, good enough to stay in the game, but zero three point shooting.
Solid 1st half by the Cats against a Nebby team stocked with older Euro transfers. Lots of missed opportunities, Cats missing too many open shots.
AP can start the game anytime now. Did zero on there on both ends of the court. Gelo finally getting more aggressive and I thought Tre was pretty good too.
I can’t wait for Singleton to become a sophomore. Just can’t make shots.
Every shot this team takes is an OSHA violation. Even Nick today.
Good gameplan to swarm the boards, but if they get the O board we have to watch another shot.
Almost can't take watching the shot arc and waiting for the CLANG.
Someone is going to get hurt.

Nick is going to get snubbed in end of year awards again. You just can’t be on a team this terrible. It makes voters think you’re just stat padding in games where it’s 10 minutes of garbage time.
I wouldn't be upset if none of these transfers came back and we started over.
Wow. That may be the worst stretch of basketball by the Cats since the Chicago State loss.
Yep. We completely whiffed in the portal last year. Add that to the residual effects of the Gragg ultimatum, and you get 0-7 (and counting).
Really struggling with knowing how to use his body down low against bigger and more athletic players at the college level.
CCC definitely has some work to do this offseason with roster construction. Based on football, I have confidence that Jackson will help him get the resources he needs.
Page with a zero stat line other than 1 assist(and 2 turnovers and 1 foul). Concerning that some guys seem to be regressing.
Time to see what all the young guys like Kropp and West can do with the minutes of the older transfers. Sunk cost. And time to find out what KJ did to get buried underneath the dog house.
In this era of the portal and NIL, I have no problem with being able to cut guys from season to season. It's minor league basketball now, so it should be treated that way.
