It has been mentioned by many in this post. I definitely enjoyed watching this team and everything that happened. There are some future stars in caupain and hopefully lawrence.
The one thing I wish would change is definitely the offense I understand Cronin has a plan in mind by slowing the ball down and grinding out the game, but his plan can always be foiled against a good shooting and passing teams. ex. smu, last year creighton, harvard. I think cronin's style might be causing the players to be timid on offense since theres not a set plan, the constant benching and yelling without reinforcemnt may have a negative effect on some of the players.
Looking at the way the tournament was seeded this year, it seemed focused on matching up styles of play, and if its a sign of things to come we will most likely be matched up against a good shooting team every year because they dont favor our style of bball and would rather see us get knocked out early. It sounds simple but I think we need an offensive assistant coach. I don't see anything wrong with a fluid offense that can muck it up on d. Plus offense puts people in the seats which generates more revenue. Unless that happens we will see the same fate and basically be a mid major team.
Rant: Honestly if cronin recruits another player like Rubles again I will stop watching the games. I've never seen another player be so detrimental to a team while playing the amount of minutes he did. I understand he was good for rebounding but holy s!@t I couldn't help but yell "get the ball out of your hands" when he touched it.
