Jacob you need a break bro. The players like Cronin or they wouldn't have come here. They're D1 athletes, they think they're capable of winning games and tournaments. If they had the give up attitude you've shown over the past 3 days they wouldn't be where they're at.
Seriously. Take a break you'll feel better
Jake is gone brother. Its time for him to get paid.
Ha you are probably right.
Only 3 days since the biggest collapse in NCAA Tournament history though. Just can't move on that quickly. It's so frustrating.
I'm watching it right now...holy shit it's even worse than I remember. We played directly into their hands and basically fed their momentum. I seriously don't ******* understand. 2 airballs, several missed layups, shooting with 25 seconds left on the clock, theist goes on. But I gotta tell you, watching Mick angrily scream and point his finger to "get back" after every shot, made or missed, makes me want to spit at the TV. Seems completely unnecessary
Coach Cronin's best way to get over this might be to watch the whole game every day until the start of practice.
Just own the shit out of it.
Once they got within 12, I shift the blame solely to Cronin. For whatever reason he just had nothing to offer them on how to fix it...and that's scary.
Good night for real now
I picked Cane Broome. Cause I don’t think Evans stays and I think Cumberland will be fine. I don’t think scoring downlow will be an option. So I think Cumberland and Broome creating opportunities will be vital to our success.
I really feel like Cronin needs to be added to this list.
For the people picking Tre Scott, what are we expecting him to improve? He seems like the lest likely to improve in my opinion. I like him as a player but don’t see him changing much. He’s shot isn’t going to drastically improve in 5 months. Just curious
I picked Diarra.
But my hope for Scott offensively is that he catches in the high post, and we can either have him hand off, turn and face, power dribble and go up strong, or rise up and knock down a jumper from 15 feet in. I do not mind if he takes a few 3s...kind of like Clark his SO year type of attempts. I think he has a better chance of making them though if he complete eliminates any shots from 15-20 feet. That is not what we want him doing. In a weird way, the good news for our post guys is that they won't bring on double teams the way Clark and Washington would. So they will have a better chance in 1 on 1. Scott and Cumberland need to be our best all-around players...in terms of stuffing the stat sheet. Scott needs to offensive rebound, work on his handle more so he can take the ball coast to coast off of steals he generates, really work with his teammates on decision making when operating out of the high post and developing that chemistry, especially with a guy like Broome, and he needs to get stronger so he can finish over bigger guys, while playing in a more extended role.
Coach says all these guys can "run for days". Good. Bc I'm sick of the fatigue thing all the time. These aren't old ass men. Nevada traveled from Reno to Nashville, played an OT game with 3 guys over 40 minutes, use only 6 guys anyway, then completed the biggest 2nd half comeback in the history of the NCAA Tournament. Enough of the bs about our guys being so tired all the time. We clearly saw for Nevada that travel in the tournament doesn't mean a damn thing.
Outside of watching the rest of Cumberland's career, I'm not really sure what I can root/hope for as a fan.
I'll give it a couple more years but if it looks like we can't duplicate what we had talent-wise this year, that'll be it for me. It's just not worth getting excited about this program. If we couldn't do it this year...
