Be careful. If they get a lead, Carter will dribble up top for 25 seconds the rest of the game. The hold on for dear life mode is just asking for a disaster.

Then you have decided that post season is the only thing that matters for you. I understand, I think majority do. I look forward to 31 games every years, the conference tourney and the NCAA tourney.
And idc if X has 3 players out there on the court I will always enjoy the chance to play and hopefully and beat them.
Yes. Only two things matter to me. Beating X and advancing in the NCAA tourney. Don't do that and its a season that has failed to live up to my expectations.
Doesn't mean I don't enjoy watching the bearcats play every game!
Postseason isn't all that matters to me. But those aren't conference games either.
I just can't buy back in until I know we won't choke on the big stage. Can't know that until we are on the big stage again.
I’m never bailing on UC. Coach? Sure, never really liked him anyhow. And I do fear we are on the flat part of a plateau
Just as bad as being up 22 and jacking jumpers with 15 seconds left on the shot clock. Gotta find a middle ground. And I'm sorry, but no D1 player should need a coach to tell them that.Be careful. If they get a lead, Carter will dribble up top for 25 seconds the rest of the game. The hold on for dear life mode is just asking for a disaster.
Still trying to take my mind off the game. The only thing to focus on is next year and I don't care at this point...it's better than thinking about Nevada (I think).
Selfishly I hope Evans comes back and I hope we get a grad transfer big. We need at least one of these two things to happen IMO if we want to be a top 25 team. If we can get both to happen...I would actually have some hope for a really good season yet with a cap of Sweet 16.
Call me optimistic...I don't have much choice...lol! I don't think Cronin will change much...but the players could surprise us. Evans, Cumberland, Broome is a nice backcourt. We can go 4 guards or get a grad transfer big if we want to play with 2 bigs. We can't play with a combo of 2 bigs who can't score (inside or out) so if we do play 2 bigs (with no grad transfer) it's going to have to be Diarra so we can have some hope stretching the D and unclogging the lane for the guards.

A grad transfer big would be nice for next season but I don't know how realistic getting a decent one would be.
We had 3 in the AAC this season and they all were just space fillers for the most part.
Akoy Agau - SMU
16 mpg, 5.0 ppg, 3.6 rpg (numbers are skewed because he played a lot towards the end of the season due to injuries)
Nura Zanna - Houston
15 mpg, 2.8 ppg, 3.9 rpg (4th best big man for Houston this season)
David Onuorah - UConn
10 mpg, 1 ppg, 2.1 rpg (UConn had to be desperate for this guy to see the court)
No way. I think we'll later hear about injuries ( fingers, thigh or ankle). Mick keeps these things close to the vest. Just like with Cash. No way he could shoot air balls with his form w/o more of an explanation.I think the NBA talk got in his head.
Waite, I'd have to go back and look at at details, but I read Nevada had a big in foul trouble and out of the game in the first half, so he was able to go inside. That doesn't explain it all, but part of it. He should have driven more.I think he was Micks next SK. I think the pressure got to him. For the life of me I still can't understand why he didn't take the ball to the rim in the last 11 minutes of that game but settled for jumpers. He was killing them in the first half. 12 of our last 15 shots were jumpers.
Secondly, i think they made adjustments. We lost the chess match.

Not that I hate Mick, or demand greatness every year ( like a UK fan), but I think you and others now can relate to some of the posters that you used to think were crazy. We are Older than you, and have been going through this longer lol. More than a half court shot by WVU in tourney at buzzer, loss to underseeded UCLA in tourney, 3/4 court shot by Mike Bibby in 7-up shootout, E-8 loss to NC, so many upsets by eggz...

You meant Miles Simon. Can't forget that one. I was 12.

I remember all of these games. I don't think the West Va shot was from half court though lol.

Didn't we go up by like 12 or so in that game?

I'm pretty sure we controlled the majority of the game. Always thought Fortson was fouled on the strip that allowed Simon to heave that shit up.

No. A couple feet behind the three point line. DJuan Baker hit a three just before that to give us a 2 point lead.

We also had something ridiculous like 24 turnovers.

This round of 32 curse started long before Cronin got here.
Huggins was elite at getting upset in his last 9 years at UC

Who cares about Bob Huggins? He was here 13 years ago.
We haven't made it out of the first weekend 7 out of 8 years with our current coach. And it's not bc of a curse.

I don’t know what it is.
I just know that bob Huggins nor Cronin made any noise for a long time running. 2 sweet 16’s combined since 1997.
15 round of 32/64 exits and 2 sweet 16’s in 17 tries.
I just think funny how 1 final four and 1 elite allow you to bc the most beloved coach in Bearcats history. By my guess, Cronin is one final four/elite 8 from being every bit as good as the God Coach bob huggins.
UC should make a run at mike Musselman. But I don’t even think he’d bite. He will get a high major job soon in a high major conference

It’s the curse of Paul O’Neil. It will not be broken until the Reds hire him as manager.
