Would people be happy with 1 sweet 16 every 10 years if it meant we were somewhat relevant every year? (Top 30ish team, top 3 in league). I feel like some people would be fine with this. I kinda think it’s crazy for a top program to be ok with this.
There isn’t an equal playing field in most sports but teams still find a way to succeed.I want much more then that. I also want kids to graduate and learn life lessons. I also want there to be a equal playing field that the NCAA says they will enforce. They also say they are a non profit organization as well. When the NCAA creates a equal playing field I’ll u my standards for what I expect from my team.

We do succeed. We are a darn good program that I am proud to be a fan of.
I would say we have preformed the worse of any program that has been to the tourement the majority of the time since 1996. Only having 2 sweet 16s and zero elite 8s is hard to do. I’m not saying fire the coach but people frustration is understandable
Yeah that's really bad.
This loss is actually getting worse for me over time, not better. I feel much, much worse today than I did Sunday bc the shock has work off. And now we are left having to stare the biggest 2nd half collapse in the history of the NCAA Tournament right in the face.
Gonna be a fun off-season.

I haven't researched it but it has not been a good run just going off memory. I also understand peoples frustration.I would say we have preformed the worse of any program that has been to the tourement the majority of the time since 1996.

Anyone else wonder if the NCAA is going to do anything in terms of suspensions for the universities that cheated, cuz if duke, UNC, Michigan state, Arizona are not eligible next year, we may still be in a good spot
So is my thread still dumb? Lololo...
All I know is after what happened this year, I'd be in it for myself from now on if I'm Cumberland or Broome especially. We are obviously going to be worse. So what's the point?
I don't get this. There is plenty of motivation to make a deep tourney run next year and redeem the Nevada game so to not make that game the memory you think about when they think back on their college career
If Evans leaves, and if we have a normal draw with a worse seed, it will be obvious to the players that we don't have what it takes. I remember after losing to Kentucky, someone said Caupain and Johnson thought they could win it all the next year. We ended up with a worse seed and a 1st round exit.
The writing will be on the wall. And idk how you could possibly bounce back after such a soul crushing loss.
The only thing that gives me hope is while Evans and clark were GREAT, they didn’t always play with a killers mentality. Gary did at times and I really thought they’d give him the ball and he’d hold off Nevada.
But Cumberland....that kid is special and has the mentality. There is a chance he can perform like a Kemba or Napier in tourney mode. At least I hope so. Really need a knock down shooter (as always) cause Cumberland is going to get a lot of people open looks.
Whats making them go?
Well being discounted by their own fanbase should be motivation enough. My guess is UC will do better than every one expects next year.
Remember when SK graduated and everyone thought UC would be in complete rebuild the next year? We made the tourney and gave UK a hell of a fight.
Lol. That was a complete rebuild. We were not good at all that year. We lost to Kentucky by 19 and scored 43 points. That team averaged like 62 ppg. We were #43 in KenPom. We were the 4 seed in the AAC Tournament. If that's what next year is, I'll be asking for a new coach a year early. Completely unacceptable to me to have a year like that with 9 returning players (Evans would be 10). Gross. That was easily the worst Cronin team of the last 8 years. We had 0 players average 10 ppg.
