My god dude you make up so much bullshit. You lie more then freaking Trump or Hillary. Troy turned the ball over with almost 14 minutes left in the game. The only reason we were ever even in this game was because of Troy. It is possible to have played a good game and still lose.
Their PG "took over the game"? In the last 8 minutes He scored 5 points from free throws because UC got desperate and had to start fouling and the refs sucked. He did literally nothing the whole rest of the age except get dogged by Caupain. Since when is the last few minutes of the game all that matters anyways? I guess Evans had a good game then because he did nothing all game until he hit 2 threes late. You must be the kind of person who praises a FG kicker who missed 2 FG and an extra point but hits the game winner.

I bet my life you've NEVER played organized sports. Dude get a life and leave me the hell alone. Troy carried ball late in 2nd half no harm no foul because Mick took him out and put him back in immediately. I give two shits about who scores or who dont score. Once again JJ could score 100 and if we lose he didnt play well in my eyes. I'll never say somebody played great but their team lost. Btw, if u want to know evans was horrible yesterday. Sorry I dont give out participation trophies

By that same yard stick I measure u in loss. In all our wins troy played well because he controlled game enough to get us wins. Back in old days you got your teeth knocked out if you got caught looking at box score after lost

Lol where are the real basketball guys at? Jacob, lt, nts, jason, chad what is this a prank? These guys are HORRIBLE

You are a pure idiot. The carry you brought up not crunch time. If it wasn't the first half like I said I guarantee it wasn't at the end of the game like you are insinuating. you are wrong. Live with it. Im sure that everyone on this site is a huge bearcat fan. If you can't converse about a team we all love then kick rocks. The funny part is I thought we were having real bball talk on this thread until very time I get on you are attacking everyone for their opinion when yours is the one that seems screwed up.

 

[bearcatbacker82]

And I love the guy who says "you must not know basketball." I coach youth basketball. My son plays aau. I literally go to games every weekend all year. But hey, we don't know bball. Bulldog01 knows it though. Let's clear up our bball concerns with him. This is stupid.

dude the carry happened with the game within one or two possessions in 2nd half under 10 to go. you probably didnt see it no big deal move on dude. i havent attacked NO ONE!!! I've NEVER called anyone on this board an IDIOT or STUPID. DUDE YOUR TRYING ARGUE WITH ME ABOUT A PLAY YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT!!! Get over it. its dumb ass hell that carry didnt lose us the game. troy didnt lose us the game. bad coaching on both sides of ball. do you care to discuss what mick needs to do differently on both sides of ball heading into conference play??? or just be tough internet guy that calls people IDIOTS???

I tried having normal convo but this happened.

(Lol where are the real basketball guys at? Jacob, lt, nts, jason, chad what is this a prank? These guys are HORRIBLE).

In a direct response to my comment. If you stop attacking every comment that doesn't agree with yours then maybe you won't get the response. Deal with it. Everyone is upset we lost. The coaching has been the same for years. If you don't like it then stop watching. Basketball is dictated mostly by players. The refs were definitely not helping anyone in UC uniform last night but all I hear about is the freaking carrying call that lost us the game lmao. Give me a break. It's hard to win a game against a ranked team without your top scorer and more than likely the new conference POY Washington.

I already admitted it wasn't in the first half earlier, but 10mins left in the game is far from Crunch time. Is this really what this arguement is about?

Dude, just stop. You're just wrong. The turnover came with 13:56 left in the game. Like it's literally not even debatable. And you're the one who brought up the carry as evidence for why Troy sucked! All you do is make shit up, tell anyone who calls you out they know nothing, rinse, and repeat. You're so toxic and make this forum so unejoyable when you're here.

I believe we lost the game because our senior guard( KJ ) only shows up some games-like Shaq last year- and our big man(K. Washington ) gets his emotions out of control- like Ellis last year and can't stay in the game. We need that go-to player like S Kilpatrick. Right now we don't have one

Evans can easily be that guy. Mick needs to demand it.

We had 8 assists. We had two players being aggressive but we need to parlay aggressiveness into assists as well. Our players struggle with the idea of aggressiveness and incorporating team play. It's either pass all the time or get a shot by being aggressive. We need both of those to work in harmony. That's what Butler did!

I am very happy Troy and Gary got it going because we will need them with Washington and Evans... but it all has to work together. I'm not sure Cronin knows how to teach it.

We need it all. Aggressiveness, picks, extra passes, etc. We can't win a lot of games in March without total team play.

A lot of iso Last night...


Kyle can't pick up dumb fouls.

Kyle was disappointing. His emotions were similar to Ellis last night. I fully expect him to change that. Dumb fouls for sure.

The offense is just so lackluster. The bigs get the ball too far from the hoop, UC still whips the ball around the perimeter, every time Evans gets the ball he has a guy in his face and another waiting to switch on him. Getting next to nothing from Washington and Evans, they are not going to beat any good teams that way.

Not using it as an excuse but the (Big East) officiating was dreadful. They had to go to the monitors twice to make sure they called the foul on the right guy, pathetic. Called the halves completely different, 4 total fouls against UC in the 1H and 10 in 11 minutes in the second. the carrying call can be called on anyone and multiple moving screens called on UC and none on BU.

Bottom line, had a week to prepare and performance was lacking effort by about everyone except two players. FT shooting continues to be poor

Lastly, first Shaq, now KJ get to start with no consequences, would like to see Jenifer get and JC get his minutes, knew the game was not going to go well when first shot by UC is a layup blown by KJ. Jenifer gives solid defense and can shoot better than KJ, will the switch ever happen to take KJ out of starting lineup.

Johnson just isn't good enough to produce with any kind of consistency against top competition. It's sad that he went 2-9 yesterday and 0-4 from 3, with 2 reb and 2 ast and no one even blinks. We're just numb to it. It won't change. Not even worth bringing it up. As fans, we just have to accept that certain players are allowed endless opportunity despite showing no signs in 4 years of being effective. It really kinda sucks. How good can we really ever expect to be with at least 1 guy like this in the starting lineup every year? I mean, Butler took their best player out of the starting lineup in a huge game yesterday just to send him a message. We can't even take our worst player out bc it wouldn't be fair to him personally. Little league mentality on a high D1 level. It's pretty messed up.

Funny thing about this game. Was the officiating good? No. Not really. But just this week on the radio show, Coach Cronin was talking about how the losers are always the ones whining about the refs...then after the game he goes on and whines about the refs. He's clearly aware of how that looks and the point that every loser has a story. Why can't he help himself? How many years in until he becomes more of a gracious loser? Obviously no one likes losing. But not everyone whines like that every time it happens. Just seemed odd to me considering the timing of his comments on the radio show.
