Still cannot get over the Bob Huggins firing thing, eh?

Is that really all you have? If anyone can coach a worse offense it's Huggins. Of course I didn't think anyone could coach defense better than Huggins but I think Cronin has surpassed him....I'm so, so, glad Huggins isn't here anymore....But my points are still valid.

hate losing the way uc did. As for the game heres my insight. Cronin is not out there shooting and missing layups. I think kelvin should have played the kirk kid. He might be the only one strong enough for the real big guys. Justin has looked good when they are pressing and stealing. When the offense goes into half court sets he has no skills to put ball on floor and score. At best he could get a tip in here or there. So if they dont get steals he only scores four a game. If they are going to put the fours on the wings then might as well have shaq start cause he can atleast create his own shot some what. Hard to win when u cant shoot nothing but the three. I think come big boy play kelvin needs to be playing more. Mobdj and nyarsuk are soft even though cm did rebound ok..cash needs to have the mindset of sk and just let it fly. Rubles should be shot every time he doesnt take the ball to the basket.jj should be sixth man.

No one else will agree with you on the Gaines comment, except me. It wouldnt have hurt to put him out there.

As for missing layups and all that nonsense. Its Micks job as the HC to put his team in position to score. I agree guys couldnt throw it into the ocean, but this is a common theme over the course of many seasons. This offense does not do that. There was not one single posession where we had an easy look at the basket. Those missed layups were with hands in the face or guys trying to box them out. We did not have one easy lay-up, dunk or transition bucket. Its been that way for 7 years
 
We lost by 1 point. We took 10 more shots than New Mexico and made 1 less shot overall.

UC deserved to lose, but they certainly were in position to win.

On a positive note. Cash increased his 3 point shooting to 47.3%. He needs to shoot more.

Kilpatrick took 22 shots. Parker took 14 shots. Cash took only 6 shots. Parker and Kilpatrick each made 5 shots. Cash made 4.

He needs to shoot more. Seriously.

Bingo!! I have been saying all year cash's shooting stroke has been incredible this year. This is his final year, I don't want him to be a set up point guard. I want him to be a scoring guard because anything less would be a waste. The guy has clearly shown he can shoot.
 
Horrifically wrong like your conference realignment predictions.


"The big east bball schools will never leave the big east"

The Big 12 has 10 members, and adding new members is not on the table. My conference realignment stuff has been spot on, yours have not been close.
 
Agreed Cash has been lights out. But I question how much more he should shoot. Cash is very good at picking good shots while Sean has a tendacy to force some.

Cash needs to drive and stop shooting so many 3s and take more high-percentage shots. If 1-2 more guys on our team got easier shots, it would open up the offense for everyone else.

"Louisville will never leave the big east"

"West Virginia is not going anywhere especially the big 12"

Future wrong predictions:

"The big12 will not expand past 10"
"Boise state is staying in the big east with San Diego state"

UC will beat New Mexico by 15. Wrong
UC will go undefeated in the OOC. Wrong
Louisville will join the Big 12. Wrong.
The Big 12 must have a CCG. Wrong

If anything, I'd tell him to shoot more 3's considering he's been one of the best in the country with 35 made 3's on 47.3% shooting. He's never been the type of guard that can consistently drive the lane, draw a crowd, and find the open man. That is more JDIII's game.
 
Agreed. Cash doesn't have the quick first step or ability to finish amongst the trees to consistently finish in there. I want to see more pump fakes from the whole team. (And so does bobby knight)

Don't be silly. You are even wrong about me being "wrong" about the sec demanding the b12 have a ccg for the champions bowl.

I knew ul was gone, unlike you, and the other two would be correct had the players just followed micks gameplan

For God's sake man, stop arguing with yourself. It has gone beyond funny. Now it is just plain sad.

Yes, but his main job as a point guard is to facilitate. His 3 ball would be even more effective if he mixed it up and drove more. Not a lot more, but just a little. He goes through phases where is in good at driving, but then becomes complacent and shoots 3s.
 
Imagine how good this team would be if this was our starting line up.
Cash
SK
Lance
Behanan
Mbodj/JJ
With Parker, shaq, TRubs, JJ/Mbodj and David coming of the bench.
