You're not getting what Im saying. Im saying there is more fan pressure to win right now at Cincinnati than there is at UCLA. People said that was an insane idea.

But it shows you how quickly a winning fanbase will turn on you when were used to winning these shitty early season tourneys.

Every fan base goes crazy after a loss and even more after a terrible lose. I’m sure if you go look at Kentucky’s fan after evensville it was bad, and they are a top 5 team every year. I’m not ready to fire the guy, but it’s not a great start. The team looks like a mess. Cronin had some bad ones too. All coaches do. Tony Bennett lost to a 16 seed.

It looks terrible now and the isn’t much to go on but still a ton of games to play. I’m not hopeful but we will know exactly where this team is going in a month. If we can beat some of these good teams, can still turn it around. How we are going to do that, I have no idea.


In my opinion, We've been out coached in the 2 top 100 teams we played. I just have a very hard time seeing us out coach any good team.


Add in that, Xavier is going to eat us alive. They are a tough team that never goes away. They will blow our f'n doors off. I just hope we win the AAC football championship to make that not sting so bad.



And if Jarron is as hurt as Brannen says then I want him out for tomorrows game. Zero risk to it.
 
This game was lost at the FT line. You simply cannot lose a game when you shoot nearly twice as many FTs as your opponent. But when you only make 31 of 55 there is nothing a coach can do. That comes down to execution.

A lot of people were saying the beginning was going to be bad, add in a couple injures, and it’s been worse than anyone has thought. I think it’s been a combination of things. All not good, including coaching. Teams can turn it around. We will see. Definitely not looking good.
 
Or having McNeal on the floor.



he's probably, gulp, the 2nd best ft shooter on the team behind Jaevin.


i was pissed as he kept clanking them, but he's over 78% his last 2 seasons played. no idea wtf tonight was.




but clearly he wasn't making them tonight. you gotta find ways to get the ball in cumberlands hands. i only listened so i have no idea what they were trying to do, but you gotta try to get Jaevin the ball.

Yeah, we had some weird shooting games. Some bad coaching, some bad shooting, some injuries with not much depth, and this what it looks like.

As of today.. we have ZERO reason to ever mention John Brannen in the same sentence as Mick Cronin or Tony Bennett. He hasn't earned that right. So what they've done or not done, is not relevant.

Ron Hunter has a Frickin P5 win and a better win than John Brannen does at this point.

I don't even think a win against UNLV is a given at this point.




He needs to figure it out. And I hope he does. And Ill still keep hope he does

This game was lost on the bench, where jarron Cumberland preseason all American sat with a 10 point lead with 5 mins left

The career stats are fine but if it’s in someone’s head, get them off the floor for a segment. Don’t let them keep shooting.
 
If jc is in this game and loss wouldn’t think anything less of brannen, but him doing what he did just says he doesn’t care about this season
 
Oh Shit. I forgot. BOWLING GREEN was without its best player who scores 20 a game.

that makes this even more pathetic.

Relax, I don’t think brannen is completely clueless like you seem to think. He isn’t helping my case though

he planned to not play cumberland the rest of the night because of his injuries. 97.4% win probability with 3 minutes to go.


the players on the court have to finish that one out. instead they went 5-12 from the ft line.


5-12.

What’s worse is we were at 20-29 and finished 11-26

Except he put those “players” in that position. Which was mostly McNeal, not sure why you’re trying to make it sound like a collective

This is a terrible take, and just trying to excuse Brannens obvious mistakes. Just suck it up and admit Cronin doesn’t lose this game
