Cats Struggle in Recent Game as Oweh and Carr Lead with Nine Points Each
The Cats’ latest game left much to be desired as they battled through a series of shooting struggles and turnovers, despite strong individual performances. Otega Oweh and Andrew Carr each led the team with nine points, but their efforts weren’t enough to secure a victory as the team finished the game shooting just 45.2 percent overall and a dismal 28.6 percent from three-point range.
Cats struggle in a recent game as Oweh and Carr lead with nine points each.Butler and Kerr Kriisa each tallied five points, providing some depth, but their scoring output was still far from sufficient given the team’s overall struggles. Brandon Garrison chipped in with four points, Koby Brea added three, and Amari Williams contributed two, rounding out the point-scoring efforts.
Despite these individual contributions, the Cats found themselves plagued by inefficiencies across multiple facets of the game. As a collective unit, the team shot just under 45 percent from the field, with their inability to find success from beyond the arc particularly troubling. The team’s three-point shooting of 28.6 percent reflects ongoing struggles to establish any real offensive rhythm. These numbers starkly contrast with the expectations placed on a team with so much talent, especially as the season progresses.
Perhaps more concerning than the shooting woes were the team’s struggles with ball movement and offensive cohesion. The Cats recorded just nine assists, a clear indication that the offense lacked flow and chemistry. With only a handful of players able to generate consistent scoring opportunities, the team failed to capitalize on fast breaks or create quality looks, often resorting to forced shots. Additionally, the seven turnovers committed throughout the game disrupted any chance of sustained offensive pressure, negating the effectiveness of their defense.
The team’s issues were evident across the board, and while individual performances like those of Oweh and Carr showcased their talent, the lack of overall team cohesion has raised questions. With so much potential on the roster, the Cats will need to address their offensive inefficiencies if they hope to compete at a higher level. Improving ball movement, shot selection, and reducing turnovers will be critical in the coming games if the team aims to bounce back from this disappointing performance.
As the Cats move forward, they’ll need to find a way to gel as a team, maximizing their individual talent and addressing the issues that have held them back so far. Fans will be watching closely, hoping for improvements in both efficiency and teamwork in the games to come.
