What do the Blackcats need to do to turn this season around? They’re probably one of the top 5 teams in the region based solely on talent, yet they’re 0-5 and dead last in the 15th according to pretty much everybody. I don’t think just saying “Keithley should take fewer shots” is the answer. I think the problem is deeper than that. This team just looks uninspired to be a team. They aren’t playing well together right now. The coaches on the bench have watched and coached more basketball than most (if not all) other coaching staffs in the 15th. I admit that I’ve been hitting the panic button pretty hard on them, but there is still a whole lot of basketball games left to be played and as of right now they’re only 0-1 in their district. There’s still time for this team to maximize its potential and make a run at the 58th, but what needs to happen for them to do so?

Top 5 team based on talent?
What proven talent? Napier is a solid big man. He plays hard, takes charges and hustles. But he's under sized. Allen is a knock down shooter but isn't utilized that way. Keathley is Keathley and will keep the score close in most games. I think they are in a rebuilding era, that may last longer than 2 years.
