Houston Part II

[Bearcats92]

Yep, it’s totally Cronins coaching making us miss so many 3s and FTs.

No but it’s his fault he doesn’t have an offensive system or put our guys in place to succeed

Off topic, tell me how Houston doesn’t deserve a 1 seed

The American did horribly in the tournament last year including Houston.

 

[mdchick]

Good news is Houston and UCF are on the same side of the bracket so we wouldn’t face ether of them until the championship if we make it

 

[Mcginnjw]

Well I thought at the beginning of the year that just making the tournament would be a successful year based on our personnel. I still feel the same way. I think these guys over achieved this year based on talent and experience.

Like I said in the second post of this thread, this game is the fruition of Cronin’s strategy to irrevocably hitch his wagon to Jennifer. JJ is a Hall iof Fame mid major candidate but does not have it for these kind of games. Would it have made a difference had he developed LoJo when he had the chance? My guess is yes. But we will never know and i fear may never find out.

This is embarrassing

 

[Jon Rycek]

That may be the worst ten minutes of basketball I’ve ever seen us play.

Davis is amazing

Davis is amazing

Without a doubt the AAC POY.

Broome made so many bad defensive and offensive plays. I was a huge cane supporter at the beginning of the year but I can see why he ended up here... just doesn't think.

We’ve missed wide open looks all day

 

[Queens_NYC]

Just like 2 years ago. Clear cut 2nd best team in the league. Nothing to be ashamed of.

His fault he didn't recruit shooters

 

[Bearcats92]

Everyone saying Cronin is a great coach because this team did better than expected is a terrible cop out for Cronus. He has been here for 14 years. If you are a good coach you shouldn’t have down years. A team like UC should always make the tournament. Cronins recruiting has gotten worse. I’m afraid we will end up at the bottom of the American with Houston Memphis and UConn all with great coaches and getting better. Not to mention you know Marshall will have Wichita State back in no time

 

[Uclawrugby]

Houston has some class same with Kelvin Sampson. Let’s make sure we get in the tournament and leave it at that. Maybe LoJo will be back and we’ll have something to look forward to next year.

 

[Jon Rycek]

Let’s just hope these two games were a walk up call. I know there are plenty of doubts. But this team has tons of potential. We got knocked out of Rythym big time today. But guys have got to make plays. Would have loved to see more of Williams today. And I agree Lojo needs more minutes.

This is the harvest of Cronin’s insistence on keeping Jennifer in his role. What a liability for 2/3 of the game.

Bingo. Hate to bash a kid but he wouldn't start on many teams in the AAC which is saying something. Anybody who is shocked by this outcome has not been paying attention all year. Saw this coming a mile away. When your head coach put's zero onus on a player's ability to put the ball in the hoop you get run out of the gym by a team who can. This is why this team will get worked in the tournament again by a team of shooters that can put the ball in the hoop. Creighton, St. Joes, Princeton, Nevada insert the next team.

We have two of the top five best 3 pt shooters in uc history. What are you talking about

Yeah like when Calipri went to the NIT? We lost two NBA players and another great offensive player.

There is a huge difference between Sacred Heart and major college hoops and I guess Cronin didn't see it.
