Podcast appearances and mentions of John Brannen

The Cincinnati Bearcats suffered a crushing defeat against BYU, losing 80-52 in what can only be described as a disappointing performance. As a long-time Bearcats fan, it's hard to watch this team struggle so mightily, especially given the high expectations we had coming into the season. Wes Miller's coaching has come under scrutiny, and rightfully so. The team's inability to break down BYU's zone defense was particularly frustrating. It seemed like the players were lost on the court, unable to execute any semblance of an offensive game plan. This isn't just a one-off performance; it's been a recurring theme throughout the season. The shooting woes continue to plague the Bearcats. Outside of Simas, who hit four three-pointers, the team shot an abysmal 1-for-16 from beyond the arc. Jizzle James, in particular, has struggled with his shot, often forcing up ill-advised attempts that have little chance of going in. What's most concerning is the lack of progress we've seen from this team. With a roster full of experienced players and highly-touted recruits like Dillon Mitchell, we expected to see significant improvement. Instead, we're witnessing a team that looks worse than last year's squad. The defensive effort, which has been a hallmark of Cincinnati basketball for years, was non-existent against BYU. Allowing a team to shoot 62% from three-point range is unacceptable for any program, let alone one with Cincinnati's defensive pedigree. As we look ahead to the rest of the season, it's hard to find many positives. The upcoming game against Utah feels like a must-win, but given our recent performances, it's difficult to be optimistic. The Madsen twins, former John Brannen recruits, will be looking to exact some revenge against their old program. While it's easy to get caught up in the negativity, we must remember that this is still a young season. There's time for the team to turn things around, but it will require significant adjustments from both the coaching staff and players.

Alex was struck by a comment by a Cincinnati Bearcats Instagram fan account from the game Sunday night. He talks about how it relates to what last year's Bearcats team did not have in former head coach John Brannen's final season and why it's crucial for the program to reestablish under Wes Miller what they didn't have under Brannen. Alex then explains why this city of Cincinnati could still be a baseball town. He doesn't think it is anymore, but he sees an argument to be made that it could still be.

You can spot this man from across the room. Yes, he is tall. But what you wouldn't be able to observe from his stoic expression, is his humor.  He is intelligent and he is passionate. After our conversation with him, it was evident that he joined the University of Cincinnati as head basketball coach because he was a good fit.  He shares how a written (yes folks with paper) letter opened up a door in his colligate career after an abusive experience with a coach. His transfer from Morehead State University to Marshall University was a pivotal moment in his life. Born and raised in Northern Kentucky, his parents shaped his perception of hard work. He recalls examples of his father's persistence and his mother burning the midnight oil to ensure that her family and professional life flourished.  He has faced many challenges as a young coach. He is humble and realistic and faces a monumental challenge as the new coach. Tune in to hear how he intends to attack the new season.
