First test passed. I saw some good things. I wish we could have blown them out up 20 in the 1st but it seems to be tough to keep the intensity up.
Darnells dunk was smooth.
Deonta looked liked Deonta.

Typical. We win a tournament game in march and looked pretty good and your first comment is to bash yancy.
I am not disagreeing but come on.

Team looked pretty good. Up and down, got lazy at times when up big..
Yancy played terrible. Was bigger, stronger than everyone on the court and played like a complete woman. I simply cannot stand his pathetic effort.
Lance played well to start and started taking some bad shots.
Overall, we need to play more consistent in round 2

I get your beef with Yancy.
I am happy with how we played. We could have laid down and called it a season but we didn't. We took them out early.

Have not watched them at all this year but from a xavier friend of mine he describes them a lot like UC.
I would imagine we have better athletes.
WRIGHT OUT - Cashmere Wright fell down on his hip and exited the game in the second half. Cronin said Wright is OK and will be fine to play in the next game.

Postgame Quotes
Cronin...
On Getting to 19 Wins
“It is progress. Getting into the NIT is progress. We came so close in so many games and we displayed the kind of team at times that our fans thought we should be back in the NCAA tournament. Unfortunately, we play in the BIG EAST which can be cruel to young teams. Onward and upward in the NIT. ESPN2 game tonight helps recruiting and it all helps recruitment of the program. We have to continue to progress.”
On Guys Gaining Confidence
“It is important to get some wins. As a coach you can talk all you want about hanging in there and you are playing well. Even I get frustrated. It is frustrating for all of us to go through close games. To get wins, helps anybody’s confidence.”
Vaughn...
On Standing Ovation
“It felt good. Coach was trying to be funny about it. I just wanted to sit down and finish our game off together in the NIT.”
On 15-16 from the Line
“A lot of free throws during practice. We focus on it more for the first time ever. We have to make 21 free throws in five minutes. For the first time ever, we finally made it. A lot of people are focusing and making them.”
On 19 Wins Being Most under Coach Cronin
“It is good to see that we improve every y ear since I have been here. That is something Mick and I have talked about as a coach and player. We have done it so far. We have gotten better as a team. The coaching staff has done a great job of getting people who want to play hard. I’m just glad to play with these guys.”

Shouldnt worry about the attendance.
UConn only had about 4,000
UNC had about 5,000
Dayton which sells out almost every game had a little over 4,000
I expect a decent crowd for Dayton if the game is on Monday. It will spark some interest around here.
