Miami Game Thread

You X fans can have your little dream world. No one outside of 15k people care what they do.

Ill take the tradition of UC basketball anyday. UC is down right now, but we all know it won't stay that way. By all means yuck it up, you've deserved it for the first time in your lives. So have fun while it lasts

Did you know in Macks first year coaching he took a team to the sweet 16. I understand why you are angry at Mick when you look across town and see that and then look at your own team and see he still hasn't recruited a shooter. You have every right to be mad and you are sharing your frustrations on this message board like many other fans.

Don't exactly understand why you post on this board and expect people to care about what Xavier does outside of one game a year.

 

[BearcatAlum1]

UC fans for some unknown reason have always stated that Mack was "the worst possible higher" for Xavier. I'm not seeing it.

First of all, it is "hire." Second, I'm not saying it was a bad hire....just that the guy is a complete tool.

How can you not see it? In his first year he took Xavier to the sweet 16, in his second year he had an All American on the team (Though, it was a down year since X did not get at least one win in the tournament) now in his third season he has Xavier ranked 11th in the country and with a win against Purdue Saturday- they will be in the top 10....horrible get.

You type like an Eggsavier fan. Hard to believe a real UC fan would ever defend ANYTHING Eggsavier. I may give Eggsavier credit for certain things, but I would never type it and put it in the public forum. Pretty much everything about the school I really hate. Everything.

And that's the reality of the entire situation.

While Eggsavier fans truly believe they are a "big-time program", the ESPN announcers, regular Eggsavier announcers, Enquirer, etc., all make a big deal about wins by Eggs against "BCS programs." It's truly hysterical.

You CANNOT be a big program when people make a big deal about wins against BCS PROGRAMS.

During a telecast last year, the announcers of an Eggsavier game rattled of recent wins by Eggs and listed 3-4 middle of the pack "BCS" teams........and believed it was an accomplishment for a "mid-major" to win against "BCS" teams.

Cincinnati will play 20+ BCS games, but no one says that we beat BCS teams. See the difference?

Do you know he did it with Shaun Miller's recruits? Tu is a Shaun Miller recruit. Mack is a big jerk, how many recruits has he lost because they wised up just before they were ready to sign?

UC has 2 National Championships. XU has 0. XU is not even part of the conversation of college basketball.

First you call out Mick, now you call out Mack. Do you like any college basketball coaches???

I read his postgame just fine, thank you. What exactly does he blame himself for? Telling the guys they are going to get their butts kicked???

I'd love to play for him.

He blames it in the public eye on lazyness and youth. Youth???? Here we go again, more excuses. He also goes on to make a remark about ONE possesion Killa should have brought the ball back out. Then says he knows that. OK, so if he knows that, why is he doing it? And why are you calling him out??


And for Pete sake. The game was lost because UC scored 54 pts. NOT because Presbyterian put up a WHOPPING 56 pts

Who said anything about reading his post game? I said have you LISTENED to his post game. In his two post games after the loss, he said he takes full responsibility. Unless your link is a transcript of his post game interview on 700 wlw then that is not what I'm referring to. Maybe they have it podcast. Go listen to it because you are dead wrong on this. He took responsibility.

As for your last comment, it's simply a stupid statement. UC lost because Presbyterian scored more points than UC. It's not because UC scored only 54 points. It's because UC scored only 54 points and gave up 56. In reality UC probably should have scored in the high 60's or 70's and they should have held Presbytherian to the 40's. Their offense has sucked all year, their defense should have allowed them to hold on to the win.

Please don't tell me you are arguing that UC is a big time program.

Please don't tell me playing 20 bcs games makes a program big time. If you believe either of those things, you really don't know much about college basketball.

Like I said. I READ Micks postgame. I provided you the link. He blames lazyness for the loss. I do not get 700 down here.

You are buying into Micks BS. Its easy to put the blame for a loss on the D. Defense is MOSTLY about hustle and effort. Where the offense is about x's and o's. If you dont have a guy who can shoot, heres an idea, RECRUIT ONE. 6 years now and not one consistent shooter other than Vaughn

Dude, they scored 54 pts against a nobody!!!! How much will they put up against Syracuse?? 30...

You ever going to respond to your statement that a coach can't change a player? Development of players should be a crucial part to coaching Ralph. Or, are you just going to comeback with "your coach is a meanie!"

Your reading comprehension is beyond miserable. you provided a link to SELECTIVE quotes. I'm telling you to listen to what he said. If you don't have 700 wlw then just stop arguing and believe what people say that do have it. He SAID on his post game that he takes full responsibility. He SAID it after both the Presbyterian and Marshal losses. I heard it with my own two ears. Find a transcript of the post game if you only believe what you read on the internet.

What BS? I've already stated on here that it's easy to call out the defense as causing the issues and how the reality of it is the offense is the center of their problems. Their defense still needs to improve. Defense has a lot to do with hustle and effort but it has a whole lot to do with positioning, assignments, switching, scouting, etc.

I feel like I'm having an argument with a 3rd grader who totally tunes out the other side and just continues to ramble on with their nonsense.

Look Ralphies a tool. Stop arguing with him. Or better yet quit spending so much time on a UC forum when your a X fan. Seriously, who does that? Nothing better to do?

A player has to change themselves.

If a player is 6 foot 4 inches a coach cannot turn them into 6 foot 9 inches.

Chris Mack is a tool.

UC is a big time program. UC has won 2 National Championships. UC is in one of the 11 BCS Conferences. These are the schools that ESPN and everyone else refers to as the "Majors".

Xavier is a" mid major" non BCS Conference school. Who does Xavier play in the bracket buster this year?

Keep in mind- Xavier had a tougher SOS last year. At least according to the selection committee. It will probably be the same this year, especially with the Big East being extremely down.

Line up both schedules and try to say that with a straight face.

11 BCS conferences?

I was thinking the same thing. I would love to hear the 11 BCS conferences.

 

[DontMissHim]

uh. I will look at the facts and say it with a straight face?

According to the selection committee, Xavier SOS was 56th, UC SOS was 83. Selection committee uses the RPI ratings. I don't know what your looking for
