Spoke highly of Brooks. Washington and Evans want to learn. Was disappointed in execution and it will be addressed.

I like how Brooks is getting recognition for playing well. He's way better than I could've guessed for a FR.

He's certainly giving us more than I thought he would. He's more agile than I thought and he's not as raw on offense as I was expecting. He's pretty coordinated. He will be ready to contribute a lot after Clark and Washington leave. Same with Scott.

Yep, the exciting part is they will have another year with Clark & Washington, so plenty of time for Nsoseme to develop...the pipeline seems to be flowing well
 
INCREDIBLE radio show last night. Coach Davis, Clark, and Washington were awesome. Washington's knowledge of every D1 mascot blew my mind. I thought I knew a lot of them, but my goodness. What a wiz.

Lol did he say anything about the top 16 excluding the BE? Remember him saying after Butler that he won't play the BE again because their refs call the games so poorly.

He did say that, but didn't reiterate that last night. He essentially said he would play any of the top 16 teams in a home & home arrangement so the pollsters have more 'data points' to evaluate our program.

He then told Dan not to hold his breath waiting for the phone to ring.

Pretty good stuff actually.

Dope is probably a good word for it...

Edit...I didn't listen but if he was calling out the committee...I don't think it's a smart move

Who cares. He's not the first to call them out and won't be the last. We will get shafted as always no matter if he praises them or criticizes them. You can't be scared. Cincinnati mentality, don't back don't and be a little b**** to them.

I care. I don't know if you have been watching UC basketball very long but we haven't made a final four in 25 years. Getting the shaft from the committee hasn't exactly worked in our favor. I prefer being Bobby Fischer in a mental chess match with the committee or the refs. There is more than one way to make them our B--ch!

"hey the committee has a tough job...I wouldn't want to make those decisions...but our resume is top 16 worthy and here is why"

"hey the refs have to make calls in real time which is hard to do sometimes...but I bet they would like to go back and review some calls in this game"

This is how you play the chess match...not by berating them. But hey...our coach can do the same things over and over and expect different results. I love listening to Cronin as a UC fan (he wears his heart on his sleeve)...that doesn't mean I think he is always smart about his comments.

It wasn't as dramatic as it sounds. He talked for a long time about all of it and said the committee has a tough job and they don't go into it trying to screw anyone. He was just saying there is a human element to it, and human biases come into play no matter what. His offer about the Top 16 was a home and home and we'd go to their place first. And he tells the ESPN people that we'll play anyone to get a big game.

That doesn't sound too bad then. I think that is reasonable. Thanks for clarifying.
 
A top 16 team isn't going to do that. They don't have to, so why would they. He knows that. I wouldn't mind just taking a road game against one of them. Especially next year if we could get one. It couldn't hurt, and we should have a pretty good team. Don't really know enough about the scheduling process tho.

I'd like to keep something going with the Butler and Iowa State types. Maybe do something with Rhode Island since Cronin is friends with Hurley. Maybe get a home and home with a KState, or see if Pastner wants to play us or something. Doesn't have to be the top teams, but there are others in our boat when it comes to scheduling. If Wichita State isn't in the AAC I wouldnt mind playing them, or a Loyola, or Illinois State or something.
 
yeah, teams like Creighton or Saint Mary's. Get some of these teams, a decent Tourney, and maybe take a road game against one of the big boys (if you can find one). Playing those terrible teams doesn't help when our league is also terrible. I want respect too, but I understand people not giving us any
