kenyon martin!



(this is just a jab at memphis)

Haha that would be awesome until we started to actually play games.

Y’all come coach against me in the whatifsports sim game.. I’m in the Allen World St. Louis conference

Think about this in a week. 31 wins. Conference champions and AAC tourney champions. Failed? No. Sooo, if we made elite 8 is that a success? It is what it is. Just stop. We got to watch Gary Clark and Kyle Washington blossom. This game? It fracking sucks bad, but it's over. Mourn and nut up.

31 wins in a bad conf is not ridiculously impressive.

And while I agree post season success doesn't make a season, you HAVE to at some point win in the post season. mick hasn't. He just hasn't.

I mean the floor this year given the 2-seed should be Sweet 16. Elite 8 is justifying the seed at least and F4 is beating the odds. Given what happened in the region, Elite 8 was even more reasonable to expect.

Get out of here. How bad was Mick in the WSU game for the league title. How about the Houston game for conference title. The team coughed it up and Mick is part of the team. They all bear responsibility for the melt down.

Yea bc we saw how great both those teams are.

It was a sweet16 or bust type or year. They failed. Mick failed.

really with this draw it was elite 8 or bust. it would NEVER set up easier than it did.



its likely we never get a draw like that as long as some of us live.

Yep. Such a shame.

not saying I'm not disappointed in how the season ended. I am!! But I'm not willing to fire the coach and roll the dice with someone's hot assistant hoping he does better and then he leaves for a P-5 job if he does.

he's not going to get fired and who knows if we could even do better.



but his ceiling is starting to show. this team was far too good for what happened today. way too much talent.

Fair enough but it was a 32-8 run to close the game. In a tournament, and a region where the top seeds were going down, there was absolutely NO EXCUSE for the collapse. NONE.

This is correct.

 

[dbieon12]

This is correct.

Could not agree more. Not only is the play-style hard to recruit for but you have to occasionally show results to justify using the style. Just got tougher to recruit, too.

He was blowing the houston game but gray threw the ball out of bounds. Sampson is twice as good as mick.

We know, you've said this 100x times. Others would like that. We know what we have.

What a stupid thread.

Hate to break it to you, but Cincinnati isn’t a blue blood program or a coveted destination. It’s just not. Yes, coaches can be successful here, but any coach that comes here after Cronin would bolt the second they had another offer they liked better.

So you accept mediocre results? Seems like a loser mentality.

He assumes blue bloods started out that way. Or can't fail. Ask indiana

Mick is to stubborn to change/adapt. It's like smashing a square block into a round hole.

This we agree on.

 

[cincyguy13]

not saying fire mick but the guy has to advance in the tourney at some point and I understand we are not a blue blood but there are plenty of teams that aren't blue bloods that advance in the tourney. I don't think 1 sweet 16 in 15 years is good enough
