This. You know what NBA teams don't care about? How many deflextions you have. Because that doesn't matter. You know what they do care about? Ppg, because that does matter.

So you are fine with these games and think we are a good team?
Yes I 100% believe and know we are a good team. Am I "fine" with this game? Not really, we should have won, in my opinion we were the better team. Am I gonna act like my house is on fire, no. Am I gonna blow up loke Florida is some horrible team, no, they beat a really good gonzaga team and lost to Duke (the #1 team in the country) on some bad plays at the end. Did they have a bad streak, yeah obviously, all the more reason to be worried about playing them. Did we play great today? No, we turned the ball over too much, again, Cronin keeps giving jenifer too many minutes, and we missed some key open shots down the stretch. We aren't in sync right now, it's a big change losing a four year senior who controlled the ball almost the entire game. But in the end, I don't think we suck, I still think we are a top 15 if not too 10 team in the country when it comes to talent. I believe we could beat anybody and I still think we are gonna make a run in the tourney. I'm sorry I'm an ******* for not giving up on my team after the 9th game of the season.

In 12 years, we have not had a single light's out 3 point shooter. Yet, we see teams with 2, 3, 4 of them all over college basketball, Not one here in 12 years!
Cronin doesnt understand basketball at high levels because he never played the game past high school. He thinks the biggest strongest and fastest can win instead of actually knowing how to play the game.
Where is bulldog when you need him?

That's bc the only thing he recruits is guys who are athletic. It may help to sprinkle in a good shooter here and there (I do think Trevor Moore has that potential, but we need several!).

Wrong. I just listened to a podcast this week and they were talking about analytics depts and they specifically mentioned how important deflections are and how teams are starting to track it more and more to chart defensive activity. Paul George is currently leading the NBA in deflections per game, and he is well aware of it.

Jacob, you are a wise man and I respect your ability to stay off the boards during this lol. Cause it's sure as hell not easy, gonna try to follow your lead. Have a good night "fans"
Just step away!
Tom Crean, Larry Davis or JT3
I hope Cronin leaves for Louisville and we pick up Tom Crean. Best for recruiting that the coach leave and not get fired.

The coaching change stuff...really guys? How do you expect to be taken seriously when discussing UC basketball if you fire the coach, burn down the arena, and petition to shut down the program every time we lose?
We played with zero pace.
Go back and watch the game and take a drink every time a guy with the ball looks over at Cronin in the half court for a play call. It drives me crazy.
Troy used to do it all the time, and I thought we were past this crap. But nope. Back to ugly, slow, awful to watch style

The reality is that we will pull ourselves out of this mess. Our talent is too good not to. We'll make the.NCAA again, and all the mediocrity lovers will go crazy. We'll get bounced in the 1st weekend again and all we'll hear is "8 straight NCAAs.....yoo-hoooooo!!!" And Mick will hit the recruiting trail again looking for those illusive 3-star diamond in the rough players to come in and lead us to our annual 2nd or 3rd place mid major finish and an 8 seed once again......and the cycle will repeat year after year.

The recruiting is abysmal. How can teams like Alabama get a 5 star player to go there. They suck at basketball and have for years.

Find me a low ppg player that has a high contact or draft pick compared to a high ppg player.

The more years that go by the less desirable cronin is to other schools. They know his style and don't want it

Yeah. Doesn't matter if we have Caupain or Broome. This is how we play on the big stage. Frustrating.

Why? You said deflections don't matter. I'm telling you they do. That's all.

This is how we play when the other team isn't southwest vermont st.

But no one gets drafted on deflections alone, when people do get drafted on ppg alone.
Im pretty sure the only one that has happened is changing coach. Cronin has had his chance to make this program into something and just doesn't have it. We have the talent to make the sweet 16 regularly and just don't have the coaching to get us there.The coaching change stuff...really guys?
