Frustrated college basketball coaches aren't holding back on publicly criticizing their teams

Frustrated coaches in men's and women's college basketball haven't been holding back in publicly criticizing their teams in recent weeks

Matt Hodge - Solid in Tuesday's win Hodge notched 10 points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 92-89 OT victory over Xavier.

Impact Hodge put together a solid performance Tuesday as he scored 10 points and hit two three-pointers in the overtime victory. He also grabbed six rebounds (two offensive), his most since Dec. 31. The freshman is now averaging 9.4 points and 3.8 rebounds per game this season, solid numbers for the clear fifth option in the starting five.

Tyler Perkins - Scores 17 in Tuesday's OT win Perkins posted 17 points (6-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, one block and two steals over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 92-89 OT win over Xavier.

Impact Perkins dropped 17 points in Tuesday's win, his 10th consecutive game with at least 15 points. He has been incredibly consistent over that stretch too, making and attempting similar numbers of field goals in each contest. He didn't fill out the rest of the box score particularly well though as he grabbed three rebounds -- his fewest since Jan. 10 -- and failed to record an assist. Perkins has established himself as one of the premier scorers in the Big East since conference play began, and there's no reason to believe that won't continue throughout the rest of the season.

Bryce Lindsay - Drops 15 versus Xavier Lindsay totaled 15 points (5-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 92-89 OT win over Xavier.

Impact Lindsay scored 15 points in Wednesday's win, his most since scoring 18 versus Butler on Jan. 3. He hit four three-pointers for the sixth time this season and also chipped in two assists in his seventh consecutive contest. It was a great way to bounce back after a four-game stretch where he scored 12 total points, and he'll look to keep the momentum going into Saturday's contest versus UConn.

Acaden Lewis - Excellent in Tuesday's win Lewis closed with 21 points (9-18 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-6 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and four steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 92-89 OT win over Xavier.

Impact Lewis had one of his best performances of the season Tuesday as he helped lead the Wildcats to a win over Xavier in overtime. He scored 21 points for the third time this season, matched a season high with seven rebounds, and also chipped in six assists and four steals in the nail-biting victory. Although he shot 50 percent from the field it was not his best shooting performance as he only made three of six shots from the free throw line and missed all four of his attempts from beyond the arc. He has continued to improve as the season has gone on and is a major reason why the team has now won six consecutive games.

Impact Askew struggled to cement himself in a scoring role in many games this season, even after logging four games with 20 or more points. The 6-foot-5 senior reeled it in against the Bluejays, though, with his best point total of the month. He's now averaging 9.9 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.1 steals on 22.6 minutes per game as the Wildcats' sixth man.

Impact Perkins had one of his best performances of the campaign Tuesday as he scored over 20 points for just the third time this season. He tied a season-high with five three-pointers and he also set a season high with six offensive rebounds. He was productive on the defensive end too, recording two steals and one block across 33 minutes of action.
