I don't post a lot, however this team shows more will to win and has such a high basketball IQ I have to get on here and gloat. If we played like this three or four years ago we would have made a final 4 or2. Troy showed that he is a freshman tonight but SK showed that he was a man among boys, and Shaquille Thomas is starting to grow and blossom!! JJ is a machine!!! And the biggest benefit to all of this is that the young talent is being properly groomed by the seniors and the coaching staff to push forward to be a more than formidable team over the next three years plus.

How about the game Cronin called???

We had them at 7 points with about 5 minutes remaining in the first half.

His philosophy of getting the ball in SK's hands at the end of games is really paying off big time. I don't know who all questions SK but you need to look at late game FT's before you ever say that again.

SK is changed from last year. Sure, he's stone cold from the FT line, but this year he drives without getting stripped (although he does TO via travel), switches hands and gets the And 1. He may not have the greatest handles, but he's your GO TO guy, for sure. But Cronin coached the last minute very well, substituting KJ for his FT skills and GG for his ball handling, justr in case LOU fouled other than SK.
 
Hancock traveled big time at the end of the game. These refs were pretty horrible, Mick definitely didn't like them either by the sound of some of his comments after the game. We out-rebounded U of L 36 to 25, that's big, along with the free throws!

Prior to today, UL only outrebounded in their losses, and it stays that way

Just in case the SK doubters didn't realize...he was 11 of 11 at the line....most of them in clutch time.

Time to forgive and forget. He won this game for the Bearcats...on the road...in a big time game...in a hostile environement...and he doesn't need your approval.
 
How did Harrell not get a tech for what he did to Rubles? Complete homer right thee. The refs were terrible...but we won anyways! Thats what Cronin said in the post game...we are were going o have to win any ways!
 
Also...I love how far Cronin has come in regards to respect. He was all over the ref's as*es tonight and the refs let it be. 4 years ago...that would have never happened.
 
Absolutely an awesome win! Never thought they'd be 20-2 with road wins against Memphis and UL.

Who still thinks SK doesn't step up in big games? Bueller?
