Thats a pure fact around here..

You just don't get it, do you? It's not about questioning the coach. It's about people using every opportunity to take shots at the coach AND the program. What good does that do? It just so happens that those same people refuse to give Cronin credit when credit is due. It has to be a two way street. People have to be fair. When things go well, the posters who are always negative seem to disappear. Is that fair?

Try to think of something that Mick has done wrong, it is impossible. He is 20-6 and has beat Xavier by 20. He also has beaten St. Johns on the road. The Red Storm have beaten 5 top 15 teams at home. There isn't anything to be upset about.

Im very critical of Mick... With that being said, Im always here.

My point is this, being critical, discussing, dissecting the game always equals hatred toward Mick. Simply not true, I have nothing against Mick.

Mick Cronin is not 1st in the Big East, not to mention the country.

You are always here and that comment wasn't directed at you. There are plenty of others who are not. They know who they are.

Again, I have no issues being critical of Mick but there are certain areas where it comes off as petty and a disdain specifically for Mick. The idea that he is not far enough over .500 during his time at UC is one of those. If you want to criticize his rotations, or the number of players he plays, or his game plans, that's one thing. To dwell on the past and the fact that he is only 81-74 as the head coach of the program seems pretty pointless given what he took over and the fact that the team is 20-6 this year.

You are right about this. Didn't they say something about the NCAA Tourney Selection Committee was supposedly not looking at the final 10 games as a criteria any more? I thought they said this a couple years ago but every year it looks like they put a huge emphasis on it. Just seems a bit contradictory I guess. Either way, UC has to finish strong and that starts with a win tonight.

Yea,

Everyone is human, even the selection committee. Finishing strong gives a fresh impression in the minds of many. They can say all they want they dont focus on it, but down the stretch you want to be seen doing well on ESPN and in the box scores

Mick inherited a terrible situation. His team is not talented enough to win in the conference, yet they are 7-6. He is a candidate for coach of the year. He has won 20 games this season. And is no. 1 in my book!!!!!

To say this team is not talented enough to win is doing a huge disservice to the players. Is this team as talented as some of the top tier Big East teams? Probably not. Do they have as much if not more talent than teams like WVU, Depaul, USF, St. Johns, Rutgers, Providence, Marquette? Yep.
 
Just an fyi. Will not be able to watch the game live tonight. At least a portion of it. So I will reserve comment till I watch it on my DVR. Have a function to attend with my wife. Enjoy the game!

Your priorities are so screwed up it's ridiculous. Unless the function is a key party or something. :D
 
Mick Cronin will deliver us to the dance. He has saved us from the NCAA death penalty brought on by Huggins. He has done a better job that Crean at IU with the same situation. Ralph is dead on in all he says.

Big game.

I for one am shocked at the line. UC was favored heavier vs Louisville.

Providence is 13-3 at home beating Louisville and Villanova, the shock is that Vegas has UC as favorite which means the money is being bet on UC therefore they need more money to be bet on Providence. Knowing how tough it is to win a Big East road game Providence should be the favorite.
