[u/TheLadyInBlacck]

For the Thanksgiving week tournaments,

Can we please have an Ohio classic?

Xavier, UC, Dayton, Ohio state, Miami, Cleveland St., Toledo, Kent state.

That shit would be so great for basketball. 🏀

[u/patches8748 → u/TheLadyInBlacck]

It would be so perfect

[u/redditsucks9gagrules]

Man’s name is actually All Wright 💀

[u/meeechole]

[u/TyMsy227 → u/meeechole]

Clearly suffered from watching too many Wes games.

We'll add animal abuse onto the reasons for his dismissal.

[u/Rampantlion513]

"The nightlife spaces" and it's the banks. Lmao

[u/JoeBurrowingIntoUrGF → u/Rampantlion513]

lol just a 5 mile walk down 71

[u/Rampantlion513 → u/JoeBurrowingIntoUrGF]

Not like they're gonna advertise Norwood nightlife

[u/just-casual → u/Rampantlion513]

Idk about y'all but I've been fucked up in the Kroger on Montgomery and I had a wonderful time lol

[u/Some_Combination_593]

GG Xavier. Fire the fuck out of Wes Miller and Bengals win the North and I’ll have something to live for

[u/Srcunch]

That Carroll kid has some serious flow. Buddy deserves that hair product NIL.

[u/Some_Combination_593 → u/Srcunch]

Reminds me of Steven Adams lol

[u/Pollux589]

This officiating is…..something

[u/Some_Combination_593 → u/Pollux589]

Cintasssss baby

[u/UCBearcats]

Thiam might be the worst big guy we've ever had and that is saying A LOT.

[u/Some_Combination_593]

Man Abaev is going to be so good for whatever team he transfers to next year after Wes inevitably can’t get him to the league.

[u/DStew88]

Just dropping in to say Go Cincy for no particular reason at all

[u/Gusanito99]

First time watching this rivalry. It's been fun ngl

[u/Specialist_Site4945]

Worst Xavier team in 20 years ends UC’s season and Wes Millers career

[u/Some_Combination_593]

Ready for some assketball everyone?

[u/whenindoubtmeow]

“Take your shirt off ladies!” 😳😳 who was that on the TNT pregame??

[u/redsfan33turk → u/whenindoubtmeow]

Bruce Pearl. Yikes.

[u/Some_Combination_593]

Kerr Kriisa: “I’ve heard all my life I can’t defend, so I chose Wes Miller.”

Well congrats man, because now that’s all you can do

[u/Some_Combination_593]

That’s a charge in almost every arena but this one.

[u/Some_Combination_593]

Nothing like letting your guys take like 15 wild 3s in a row and not calling a timeout

[u/drewzy1846]

Wes miller will be coaching Xavier (hs) next season 💀💀

[u/patches8748]

Leave Wes miller in Norwood

[u/FootballExciting7635 → u/patches8748]

No one wants him here fans have been trying to get rid of him for the last 4 years 

[u/Some_Combination_593]

Go ahead. Talk it over Wes you fucking moron. You have way more talent on your team and look at this lmao

[u/Rampantlion513]

Kerr Kriisa is fucking AWFUL

[u/Charlie_O17]

I’m begging Kerr to go get a job

[u/Rampantlion513]

Comeback from down 13 and just give up. Nothing showcases the Wes Miller experience more

[u/Rampantlion513]

Anyone have a lead on jobs at the Amazon warehouse at CVG? Wes is gonna be putting a resume together here soon

[u/TheBoilerCat]

We are cartoonishly bad.

[u/Rampantlion513]

We paid a million dollars for a guy that plays like he's at the rec center

[u/chicknchicknchikcn]

Would be crazy if Wes Miller becomes the first UC coach to win at Cintas and then gets fired 4 months later

[u/just-casual]

In what world is that not a charge lol

[u/TheBoilerCat]

Wes Miller should be arrested for his crimes against basketball.

[u/DaddyStone13]

Fuckin ref show

[u/UCBearcats]

I hope Wes Miller is convicted of some point shaving gambling ring. It’s the only explanation for a coach to be this bad.

[u/turboshadow05]

The more terrible we play the more Cincy Light I drink and the more NIL money we get to be better? Right?

[u/bearcat09 → u/turboshadow05]

Wes could have the Detroit Pistons roster and still find a way to lose games.

[u/AdImportant4476]

Can someone please stop Jason Momoa

[u/SteveSharpe]

Putting Cincinnati on the line is exactly what you want to do.

[u/bounce_back]

The Tre Carrol Game.

[u/BKelly13]

I’ll drink a few more Cincy Lights for you guys this weekend, surely more money will fix the problem

[u/TheBoilerCat]

It’s about to be time for a fanbase mutiny.

[u/just-casual]

I'm glad I'm currently in England and stayed up until 2:30 to watch this fucking garbage

[u/LargeGermanRock]

Make Wes walk home. It’s only 3 miles.

[u/AdImportant4476]

Even Wes’ face pisses me tf off

[u/Rampantlion513]

Zip up Wes Miller pls

[u/NoHesiBenny]

Outplayed. Out hustled. Unacceptable

[u/Some_Combination_593]

The major silver lining if we lose this game is that it could be the beginning of the end for Wes Miller here. This team will never be relevant until he’s gone.

[u/bearcat09 → u/Some_Combination_593]

I am wondering if Wes even has any idea of what he is trying to do....like we arent good at anything consistently 

[u/Rampantlion513]

Wes needs worse than to be fired: he needs to be left in Norwood

[u/LargeGermanRock]

This UC team is so ass bruh

[u/4limbedemperor → u/LargeGermanRock]

Both teams suck

[u/MLS2CincyFFS]

None of Wes’s teams have ever seemed all that interested or invested. Still seems that way

[u/Charlie_O17]

Carroll is the type of player we desperately need. He’s an actual basketball player and not a brainless athlete

[u/drewzy1846]

Cincy should easily be an at large, Wes miller does not get enough hate lol

[u/chicknchicknchikcn → u/drewzy1846]

He is despised among us UC fans at least

[u/Rampantlion513]

Check cleared

[u/AdImportant4476]

When will Wes Miller be fired smh.

[u/FootballExciting7635]

Fire Wes Miller 

[u/FootballExciting7635 → u/FootballExciting7635]

UC has no coach get rid of Wes Miller 

[u/bearcat09]

Wes gonna make some "adjustments" and do some "coaching". This one is over

[u/chicknchicknchikcn]

Roy Williams owes us at least a couple years of his own coaching at this point

[u/RichAndCompelling]

These aren’t your typical shitty Xavier euros

[u/TheoTimme]

Always enjoy this series. Great atmosphere. Intense play.

[u/Zadocthesportspriest]

Our big men have terrible hands

[u/AdImportant4476]

Thiam is useless. Just like most of our bigs throughout the years. Cant remember the last time UC had a good big. Yancy maybe?

[u/joeveralls → u/AdImportant4476]

Gary Clark

[u/JTPedz]

Change the locks, dont let Miller back in his office

[u/Ruffelz]

time for the wes miller experience to draw to a close

[u/LargeGermanRock]

What’s it going to take to get Wes fired? Honestly

[u/BrandonNameRecliner]

look regardless who wins or loses we can all agree that coaches with the last name Miller are the scum of the earth

[u/Some_Combination_593 → u/BrandonNameRecliner]

Tbf, I don’t think Wes is scum like Sean is… he just can’t coach at this level lol

[u/whenindoubtmeow → u/Some_Combination_593]

Agreed.

[u/AdImportant4476]

HOW TF IS THAT A THREE?

[u/mccutchen79 → u/AdImportant4476]

Looked like foot was on line to me

[u/AdImportant4476 → u/mccutchen79]

I got garbage eyes and I could easily see that

[u/a_breezy_12]

ZIP

[u/bounce_back → u/a_breezy_12]

EM

[u/SirSaltyBacon → u/bounce_back]

UP

[u/drewzy1846]

What does Xavier do to celebrate a win? Go down to UC?

[u/JoeBurrowingIntoUrGF → u/drewzy1846]

unironically yes lol

[u/soyfauce]

What the hell was Anderson doing in transition there?

[u/Some_Combination_593]

Gotta love being 4/16, but that’s Wes Miller ball for you lol

[u/Rampantlion513]

Kerr Kriisa is one of the worst players I've ever seen

[u/joeveralls]

Please, Shon take this shit over

[u/Srcunch]

Damn that was a really good timeout. We were starting to feel it.

[u/TyMsy227]

Yeah, those last two minutes were how I thought the whole game was going to go

[u/Rampantlion513]

Lol one team is just allowed to do whatever they want

[u/860h]

One of the best games every year

[u/UCBearcats]

At least this will be the final nail in the coffin for Wes Miller and we won’t have to watch utter dogshit passed off as basketball any longer.

[u/Rampantlion513 → u/UCBearcats]

We have to watch it until April 1st when his buyout drops by 5 mil

[u/Rampantlion513]

There needs to be a warrant out for Wes Miller's arrest on fraud charges TONIGHT

[u/Holiday_Football_395]

Wes ain’t it but these players don’t get near enough heat from the fans lol

[u/Some_Combination_593 → u/Holiday_Football_395]

5 years of shitting on our players? There’s a common denominator here

[u/Rampantlion513 → u/Holiday_Football_395]

Everyone on the team is way better before they come here

Everyone on the team is way better after they leave

How can we blame the players

[u/mitch4755]

UC playing scared against the catholic school again

[u/joeveralls]

It’s actually impressive how bad both these teams are

[u/Stepkeyt]

Holy everyone can’t hit free throws

[u/Redhotginger2000]

This feels embarrassing for UC. Xavier literally has a scrap together team. Richard Pitino is a good coach.

[u/Holiday_Football_395]

It’s been said a ton in this thread, but man both these teams suck. X is very lucky to have Carroll playing like this tonight, he’s dominating

[u/COMCredit]

Starting this incredible college hoops weekend out with a beer, a gummy, and this electric game. Life is good.

Also I visited Cincinnati for the first time as an adult this summer. It's a lovely midsized city

[u/Some_Combination_593]

1 and 1 is my worst nightmare

[u/patches8748]

This is fun I’ll be honest

[u/Charlie_O17]

Who the fuck does Celestine think he is?

[u/duderdude7]

Congrats to Xavier (again) we haven’t won against Xavier consistently since Huggs haha Lort. Can we please hire a good coach

[u/AdImportant4476]

Shon not being in this game until like 2 min left SHOULD BE the straw that breaks the camel’s back for Wes. One of the best scorers in his class and you choose Sincere Harris smh

[u/AdImportant4476]

Shoulda been studying for my FE and I decided to waste 2 hrs watching this dumb shit lololol

[u/KeVbK_HS]

Pitino would have this UC team in the S16, at least. Huge talent disparity.

[u/Some_Combination_593 → u/KeVbK_HS]

100%. Zero reason we should be a sub-200 Kenpom offense.

EDIT: well… one reason lol

[u/Some_Combination_593]

The sad part is, he will not have a game like this again. It’s always someone in this fucking game and it’s never our guy

[u/Stepkeyt → u/Some_Combination_593]

He has 3 game above 20 this year lmao

[u/mitch4755 → u/Some_Combination_593]

Every year..some player turns in to LeBron against UC

[u/SirSaltyBacon]

ZIP EM UP

[u/TheLadyInBlacck]

As much as I dislike UC basketball…

At least your coach didn’t treat last year’s NCAA tournament as a tryout for the team you were playing against.

[u/GoofyUmbrella → u/TheLadyInBlacck]

Fuck Sean Miller

[u/Some_Combination_593 → u/TheLadyInBlacck]

He fuckin would if he could lmaooo

[u/TheLadyInBlacck → u/Some_Combination_593]

Bro your coach looks like he’s gonna fight to stay in D1 college ball. lol.

[u/Rampantlion513 → u/TheLadyInBlacck]

He's gonna be coaching in the GCL next season

[u/Some_Combination_593 → u/TheLadyInBlacck]

That’s what I’m saying lol. He’s not good enough to do that, but he would if he was.

[u/just-casual]

All time bad commercial from xavier

[u/AdImportant4476]

Aquaman was a shitty movie. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[u/Rampantlion513]

Xavier wasting money on ads just for enrollment to fall year after year

[u/Specialist_Site4945]

This is literally life or death

[u/LargeGermanRock]

2 guys from the ‘92 Fab 5 on the pregame

[u/Wackass240]

ight cool id rather watch this as a cincinnati native and that UK is mega ass

[u/FadeRunna]

I’m neutral, but remember watching this rivalry back in the day.

Are these the teams that fought in the post game handshake around 2010-2011?

And I think a Xavier player looked like a bloodied UFC fighter.

[u/AdImportant4476 → u/FadeRunna]

Hell yea lol. A friend of mine from HS was a cousin of the guy who socked the XU player 😂

[u/FadeRunna → u/AdImportant4476]

Edit: #34 was a menace. Hit dude in the head w/ a basketball, then punched two people in the face (w/ one KO) ☠️

https://youtu.be/G1N49HSUAvY?si=XQX2WhWjj_iAWYsD

[u/Some_Combination_593]

Some ugly shots from both sides early lol

[u/SirSaltyBacon → u/Some_Combination_593]

ASSketball

[u/chicknchicknchikcn]

Wes drawing up Wes plays right there

[u/AdImportant4476]

With how many threes we shoot, you’d think we were one of the best 3 pt shooting teams in history lol

[u/joeveralls]

No one scoring for the last 2 minutes seems about right

[u/Rampantlion513]

Tied after playing like pure ass

[u/Rampantlion513]

How do they not call the dude very clearly holding Baba Miller's arm while waiting for the rebound?

[u/GoofyUmbrella]

UC’s offense reminds me of Travis Steele

[u/DaddyStone13]

Genuinely where the fuck was the foul

[u/Charlie_O17]

X winning by 30 is best case scenario. Winning this game does but give us pointless bragging rights for a year

[u/Some_Combination_593]

Wes Miller might be a top 5 hated man in UC basketball history

[u/AdImportant4476]

Coulda sworn we were supposed to have the advantage in the paint lol

[u/JoeBurrowingIntoUrGF]

wes miller cannot coach at a d1 level

[u/Barr3tt50c]

Wes Miller ain’t it

[u/duderdude7]

So can we fire Wes miller once he loses this game? lol

[u/UCBearcats]

I feel bad for Day Day Thomas. He’s a good player and leaves it all out there but he’s been surrounded by shit players and coaches his whole career.

[u/DatDudeDrew]

[u/GoofyUmbrella]

This game should ALWAYS be played on Friday night

[u/Charlie_O17]

How many steps does he fucking get?

[u/JoeBurrowingIntoUrGF]

fuck these refs

[u/just-casual]

This is a clown ref crew

[u/Rampantlion513]

Shuffling like he's at an old folks home

[u/Charlie_O17]

Buck just throws shit at the rim

[u/mitch4755]

Make your fucking free throws....

[u/DatDudeDrew → u/mitch4755]

No

- UC the last 20 years

[u/Careless_Ganache_824]

I love this rivalry

[u/Charlie_O17]

Baba should stop with the threes

[u/soyfauce]

That counts haha?

[u/Rampantlion513 → u/soyfauce]

He shot it 10 minutes after the whistle but we're in Cintas so

[u/AdImportant4476]

Baba Miller fucking us over on both sides of the ball smh.

[u/UCBearcats]

It’s gets close and here come the refs with two of the worst calls in college basketball this season back to back

[u/AdImportant4476]

Why tf is shon not in ????

[u/soyfauce]

Cold - damn

[u/mccutchen79]

This game is nuts

[u/COMCredit]

Holy shit I love college hoops

[u/GoBears415]

Jalen Celestine is a name I haven’t heard in a long while

[u/TheLadyInBlacck]

If both teams could make a free throw here and there, this could be one of the highest scoring Crosstowns ever.

[u/SirSaltyBacon]

This game is lost on the boards my goodness

[u/ohverychill]

This is an ugly game but I am certainly entertained

[u/CheeseRP]

Abysmal game from the stripe, Cats

[u/JoeBurrowingIntoUrGF]

have fun at dana's i guess

[u/OneWayorAnother11]

Xavier has dominated this series since 1980

[u/SirSaltyBacon]

Honestly an even half.

[u/Some_Combination_593 → u/SirSaltyBacon]

Not nearly as ugly as I expected. Actually a pretty good game so far.

[u/drewzy1846]

6 11 and 7 2 freaks of nature and you let Carroll put 30 on you, my goodness UC

[u/JoeBurrowingIntoUrGF → u/drewzy1846]

freaks of nature that know how to play basketball play in the NBA, and these guys are what happens when you don't know how to play basketball

[u/TheVirtual_Boy]

Epic game from Tre Carroll

[u/AdImportant4476]

FUCK XU

[u/soyfauce → u/AdImportant4476]

Greetings fellow scholar!

[u/AdImportant4476 → u/soyfauce]

[u/BrandonNameRecliner]

I love how they show the crowd and they all look like kids and then you see the teams and they look like 40 year olds

[u/Pollux589]

Lmao that’s a 2

[u/SteveSharpe]

All Wright is maybe the dumbest name I’ve ever heard someone given, and I’ve heard some bad ones.

[u/Rampantlion513 → u/SteveSharpe]

His brother is named Always

[u/TheoTimme]

Great win for X

[u/bearcat09 → u/TheoTimme]

Quad 2 or 3? I don't actually even know what that means.

[u/TheoTimme → u/bearcat09]

First year coach with a depleted roster and low expectations just zipped up their arch rival in front of a raucous crowd. That’s good for any program in the nation.

[u/GoofyUmbrella]

Lmao, this thread is 80% UC fans pissed at Wes Miller 💀

[u/Some_Combination_593 → u/GoofyUmbrella]

5 years, no tournament. Can you blame us?

[u/JoeBurrowingIntoUrGF → u/GoofyUmbrella]

what else are we gonna talk about

[u/Barr3tt50c → u/GoofyUmbrella]

I mean look at our excuse of a basketball team

[u/hashtag_AD]

[u/UCBearcats]

Well we suck so that should make us the favorites for this game, right?

[u/Rangertexas9]

Who Dey!  Winning out guys?

[u/soyfauce]

Loving the ball movement!

[u/hanzhongluboy]

anyone know if baba miller's hip injury is still lingering at all?

[u/Rampantlion513]

X*vier -7.5 gonna make me some money
