At this point I don't really care if sk leaves after this year. If we struggle next year early on then so be it. I would rather have the team learn to be without then depend on him. I am tired of him laying a phat egg against quality teams. I am tired of watching him play well under his talent.

I do see good spurts with him, and do agree about the confidence issue. Hard to make plays when youre scared of making a mistake.

If Mick took this team sailing they prob still couldnt find the ocean

This is the backfire of "depth". When it's abused by the coaching staff, both your starters and your benchers lose confidence and rhythm. Don't have a chance to redeem oneself.
 
Congratulations, Rick. You got away with something that most would be fired for because you got blackmailed....
 
Painful beating by a team with talent and size.. I hope they get an Eggsavier kind of matchup in the tourney.. I cannot wait for the bigs to get here...

1. If Rubles can't dribble the ball and can't shoot maybe Mick shouldn't run him plays to get the ball at the top of the arc. Its a coaches job do put the players in a position to succeed and Mick isn't doing that.

2. I'm talking on the court. The other is pertinent to this.

1. I'm not sure what the play is for Rubles' strength
2. I'm just kidding about Pitino. I simply hate everything about that man.

An overrated team followed by a 15 seed? Can't beat that draw.
 
This team just disgusts me right now, absolutely everything about the team disgusts me from the players to the coaches.

*cronin- Jesus Christ dude tell your players to drive all the way to the rim when they are over playing you, you can yell at your kids all you want, but don't get mad that they can't do anything offensively, because you had plenty of time all season to teach these kids how to play in an offensive system that might actually get us more than 50 points a game. I like having a team that plays hard nose defense, but jesus christ you have to be able to score points to win games, It really shows how much better of a coach patino is than Cronin, its so easy actually anyone could have told their players just over play there guards, the big man can't catch a ball and the only way they can score offensively is to settle on a three. SOMEBODY DRIVE TO THE BASKET. Jesus christ can we get in a friggen inbounce play, and when behanane is jumping in front of right up and down and crossing the line every single time yell at the ref to call a friggen delay of game! Absolutely horrendous coaching job in the second part of the season for Cronin, why can't you at least try to install an offensive set and see if it works at least try something different for crying out loud.

Players: I've never screamed so loud at a T.V. before in my life than when I did when Cash got taken out of the game somewhere at the 10:00 minute mark. I mean jesus christ act like you care just a little bit, if your done at UC fine then be done, but don't continue to play in games and just be a friggen zombie out there. (I understand he had a good game, but I want players that actually give a crap when they are getting killed and the players on the other team are just making them look like little bitches. The whole point of our team is to be more physical than any other team, I've never seen a team get pushed around more in the game of basketball than I did tonight. I respect everything Cash has done for us and I love him for what he did for us last year. But If you don't care about winning anymore please just tell the coaches and leave because we don't want people like that here. I mean jesus christ college basketball is the greatest sport in the world because of pride!!! WHERE THE F*** IS THE PRIDE WITH THIS TEAM!!!!! Theres none, absolutely none they are perfectly fine with just accepting this season is over and moving on with the rest of their lives. But I guaruntee kid will think back when they are 30 or 40 or 50 and they are going to ask them selves wow I wonder if I truly tried my very hardest how well our team actually could have been! I mean jesus christ nobody on this team is going to play in the pro's this is going to be the biggest basketball moments in ALL of their lives. SK might make a pro team but the way he played to night he won't play at. It's your last opportunity in basketball to actually do something meaningful. And i hope everyone of them somehow get a chance to read this right now I don't want to watch another college basketball game ever again. All of the reasons I love college basketball is exactly what louisville did tonight, and there is no reason are players can't at least play as hard as their players did tonight.
 
Well. We lost worse than I hoped but it was to a good team. A team that has us beat at pretty much every position - especially how we've been playing.

Kilpatrick still blows.
Parker is useless from the line.
Wright started to find his shot again.
Mbodj and Nyarsuk got schooled down low.

GIVE GAINES AND THOMAS MORE MINUTES, CRONIN. YA IDIOT.

Rubles plays good defense and is a good rebounder. Occasionally he can be a good player on offense but he isn't good enough to try to isolate him at the top of the key. That is the ONLY thing Mick ever tries to do with him. And for some reason he still thinks it's a good idea. UC's guards are playing terrible as well and they deserve a ton of the blame but eventually it leads to the man in charge. I truly don't think Mick puts these players in the best position to succeed. None of these players are good at taking their man off the dribble. They aren't good passers. They don't make good decisions. So you better not put them in a position that requires them to take their man off the dribble and make a good decision when they are cut off. But that is what Mick does.

I hate Pitino too, as a person. But unfortunately he is a great coach and his teams always play the best as the season goes on. That can't be said for UC except for maybe last year. And Pitino's players always seem to get better the longer they are in the program. UC's upperclassmen play like freshman.
 
Wow that was dissapointing.

Rubles was soooo bad tonight it was unbearable. Big Dave was bad as well.

Was actually impressed with what Chek brought to the tables.

Mbodj was pretty good. He gets schooled when the guards don't even attempt to stop penetration. I'm sure most will say Cash played a good game but I don't think he did. He made some shots, that's it. But as I'll say over and over that isn't his role, he needs to be the PG and the leader and he isn't anything close to that. He just flat out gave up out there or intentionally played bad defense and foul someone to get out of the game.

DNy, yes, he did get schooled. He just isn't good enough. Mbodj is way better unless there is a good matchup. Gaines is horrible, can't understand why anyone would want him out there. Not a D1 player.

SK continues to take bad shots even though he can't hit the broad side of the barn. Parker continues to have terrible turnovers and flops when going to the basket. You'd think these things would be coachable, right?
 
We could easily lose to USF. Just depends on what team shows up and even if its our better half it is still suspect. Can't say I am surprised by tonight's outcome, just surprised how somehow we find different ways to looks horrible and lose. I honestly didn't think there were too many ways left.
