I don't believe that Haffner has taken a shot without leaning left, right, forward or back. The defense only gives him hurry shots. They respect his shooting or they would not be sticking to him like Velcro. Shutting him down has not prevented the Aces from winning 10 games before January. Perhaps the attention given to him has freed up the others a bit. We'll know things are bad when they begin to collapse and allow him to shoot. I don't see that happening so the extra attention he gets is a net positive. My glass is half full. +1,000 If +1,000 is your approval level, why bother commenting? It was at least a +2,000.

A couple of interesting snippets from Anthony’s postgame article:
UE has allowed 11 or more offensive boards in each of its three losses;
"We just wanna shock the world," said Aces forward Yacine Toumi, who had a game-high 17 points. "During this second part of the season, I'm sure, with our guys, we're gonna do something big."

One reason why Haffners 3 pts shooting % was good last year is he averaged around 4 pointers a game.

I don’t think volumes the issue. Whatever the issue is, hopefully it’s corrected soon. Cam shooting 40% v 25% from 3 over the course of MVC play could be the difference between a win & a loss in a few different games.

I do think he is contributing. I don't believe we would be 10-3 with a hole in the starting lineup. I haven't given up on him. I feel for him.

Good thing we had Ben and Chuck at the BYU game or it “really” would have been ugly. Cincy is a good/decent team, no doubt, but they are not in BYU’s “league/class”, especially if BYU shoots like they did against up. Curious how they fair in their next two games (at BYU and Texas at home).

Just got back from Cincy. My two cents worth of the game I attended. Best first half of basketball we have played all year. UC fans booed their team off court at half time. Second half ran out of gas. Most of team gave a great effort. Other parts of team did not. May have already been said before did not read pages before this. Strawbridge gave up until lead was up to 15 then he but in is buckets to help stats. He gave up on rebounding sometimes never even jumped or left the floor. Should of been setting on bench. Thomas was invisible, No effort he was a D2 player for a good reason. Very disappointed in the over effort from both of those players. Taking my gas mask to TH Wednesday hope to see a good game. Go Aces!!!
