I didn't mind leaving Cumberland in. If anything, I guess he could've sat until the under 4 TO. But I didn't mind that.

This loss reminded of being at a casino where you get up so and you are hitting on every cylinder thinking tonight's the night you walk away with tons of money and somehow in a blink of an eye you are sitting there with no chips eating pizza. One of those where you start to realize you aren't going to be up a ton anymore but at least leave with some or even.
It looked like we might not cover the spread or get that huge double digit butt kicking but lets at least win the game. Then all of the sudden not only did we not win by a lot we just lost.

I didn't either. I kinda respected the decision Cronin made to trust Cumberland in taking charge and asking to stay in.

He was going to sit for a minute max anyway.
Fine to say that about the coaching staff....i guess? But mind numbingly stupid to say that
Who the **** are you to call me mind numbingly stupid numb nuts? I'm entitled to my frustrations and opinions as much as you are. Eat a dick!
I just watched Kyle and Jake for the first time in the post game presser. They (like always) were true professionals!! I feel bad for them...I really do. I teared up a bit. The least we can do as fans is be professional about how we critique the team or the coach since that is what the players are asked to do in pressers.
So I am going to put this out there right now. There have been a lot of bull shit comments in here about players in the heat of the moment. Especially a shit load of unwarranted comments about Evans. That is going to end right now if you want to keep posting.
I am as upset as anyone...but we are not going to take this out on players and degrade them or humiliate them. They are dealing with enough right now...we don't need the fans piling on.
There is a way to be a critic in a respectful way. Watch our players and learn a thing or two about being a professional.

Well we found out why it was a bad call.

I would have probably waited until the 2-3 minute mark.

Why though? There's a chance he doesn't end up fouling at all, or until that time anyway.

Yeah. Our players and coaches obviously didn't want this to happen. If you think it's hard as a fan, imagine being them.
Well we found out why it was a bad call.
After his 4th foul they went right at him and got an easy bucket on an OB play under the rim I think. Cumberland could not aggressively defend it. A few moments later he picked up his 5th. Whether it should have been called a foul or not...these are two reasons why it should have never happened.

Never understood coaches benching their players so aggressively when they get into foul trouble.
If your player is in foul trouble and you bench them, you are essentially handicapping your team regardless if he fouls out or not. At least leave him in and play him regularly given the case that he DOESN'T foul out.
This pic sums it up.

It's just crazy that even when we went up 73-68 it felt like we were going to lose. We just played right into it. We did exactly what we had to do to lose. Just like the Bengals vs the Steelers.

This is weird, stupid, and lazy. If you want to criticize him, make it about the job he's doing.

The pace of the last 10 minutes was basically 128-32 Nevada over 40 minutes. Impossible.

I'm with you. Nevada was on something like a 15-2 run, and people want mick to bench the only player that has been able to create the last couple games? You have to trust your players in that situation. Looking back, of course it looks like the wrong move, but in the moment, I think he had to keep him in. It was the only chance we had. They had guys in foul trouble too that played the whole game.

Lance mccallister twitted something like, we took 13 jumpers in the last 10 minutes and went 1-13. many of them being wide open. Having not touched a ball in years, I honestly think I could make 3-4 out of 13. I know it's been beat to death but can we start with getting more shooters in here?

Michigan State had the same problem with jumpers. Villanova made theirs. Packing it in in the tournament pays off. We need more shooters, I agree. Especially if the rules stay the same.
CATS played right into it... Nev. Had 4 fouls in 2mins in 2nd half. CATS should of kept driving and made layups and FT's. Would of won by 40....but nooooo... I forgot their the best jumpshooting team since Larry Bird.... Washington's fade away 19' baseline jumper was so sweet he airballed it and Clark got an easy one... Evans shot 2 more with foot on line.. On Cronin I'm not sure if it's the team or him but that philosophy of being up and draining the clock to chuck up some 20' horrible shot needs to go... that team gave you layups if you wanted them... I'm not even touching on how soft everyone is with going up strong... too many many floaters and hooks . TAKE IT TOO THE DAMN HOOP AND LAY IT IN.... seemed to be alright in 1st half... I'M OVER IT. Good season but completely threw it away... glad to see Cane get it at the end too....he barely plays... 9 secs left... Biggie McClain could of got ball down court..didnt need to run at light speed with that much time... OVERALL YOUR WELCOME NEVADA...CATS GAVE YOU A TROVE OF GIFTS
