Oh boy. Oh well. It's only sports. I'm not as devastated as I used to be with a loss. I was getting super excited bout potential E-8 tho.

Geez. To lose a 22 pt lead.

Was that really an offensive foul on Cane near the end?

 

[Nayers]

I don't know what to say. Our best yer and we make it to the round of 32. Can't wait to enjoy next year, 19-13 team, nit. Cane played poorly. We ran ISO ball with Evans the last ten minutes. We made our selves cake to defend. On Cronin, and only Cronin.

 

[Defense first]

Yea I’m done.

I’m bowing out for a while on Bearcats basketball.

Will not renew the tickets because if this team can’t win, no UC team will. And so much for a boost in recruiting.

Done with UC. I'm sick and tired if following a loser. Evans lost us that game. He wouldn't go back to ball. He never needs to come back again. Hi to NBA and enjoy playing over seas
And again you work the walk through. **** you to the refs, **** you to Cronin for stalling ball out, **** you to cane for being a bitch. **** you to everyone stupid enough to follow and expect good things at UC. Stall some more you ******* idiots. Told you during the season he stalls way to much.

Cronins identity. Go up 10 or 15 then he has the guys run out the shot clock to try and limit possessions. You would think a head coach would realize that doesn't work.

It would be fine if we had UNC, Duke, UK, or even X discipline but we don't. Too many jumpshots that were low percentage, you miss them, your D can't set up, they get transition opportunities, you don't burn as much clock as possible, you don't get them into foul trouble and slow down their rhythm, you let them back into the game. Coaching 101.

Good offense beats good defense. That’s how it is. Defense keeps you in games, but rarely wins you games at the end. You have to make shots. We didn’t.

 

[Bcatfollower]

We are now a joke of the ncaa along with uva. We blew a 22pt lead with 11min to go.

Evans and Cumberland were getting to the rim at will. They stopped attacking the basket. We shot jumper after jumper. We had 4 fouls on them before 5 minutes with gone in the half.

almost like people have been saying the slow it down evans PG stuff doesn't work


i mean we learned it all season long. but mick didn't learn it.


we scored 8 points the final 10:48.



almost like the fears some of us have held all year showed up and just cost us a sweet 16 and likely an elite 8 and beyond.

Refs have too much influence in the game but that is college basketball. We can’t do anything about that. We just missed a bunch of shots we should not have missed and Nevada does not quit. You would have thought we would know that after they came back from 14 down on Texas.

 

[Alum2013]

I’ve questioned Cronin a lot this season but I don’t think this is on him. We literally missed 15 layups in the last 10 minutes. Make 2 and we win

He also watched us take terrible shot after terrible shot. Cumberland was worthless in the second half.

 

[Mcginnjw]

That was ******* brutal. Worse loss in Cincy history.

I have no ******* clue what it takes to when in this tourney....it has to be majority luck.

Yes, too many jump shots. I would hate to see a shot chart.

 

[Queens_NYC]

This loss falls completely on Cronin. His ceiling as a coach goes no higher than 5 feet 6 inches. Marvin Lewis syndrome has overtaken him. This is certainly the beginning of the end.

 

[dbieon12]

Good offense beats good defense. That’s how it is. Defense keeps you in games, but rarely wins you games at the end. You have to make shots. We didn’t.

Or just not take horrible shots with 18 seconds on the shot clock when you are trying to win the basketball game with a 20 point lead.

 

[bearcatz1]

Kane is scared to death I now understand why he doesn’t start.. blows my mind Moore plays over williams

 

[Mcginnjw]

I’ve questioned Cronin a lot this season but I don’t think this is on him. We literally missed 15 layups in the last 10 minutes. Make 2 and we win

Everyone is to blame and the other team got scorching hot with every call down the stretch.

I THought we had layups that we missed. I get it. It’s terrible but my god, make freaking a couple shots

People have been saying this about cronin forever. But people defend him to the end. Makes no sense.

 

[Lawrugby]

It sucks so much to be on the wrong end of an epic comeback.

This one will never go away
