Give it a rest man......I was assuming you were talking about the Huggins era, which I'm pretty sure is exactly what you were doing. Here's an idea, keep your posts on topic. What are your thoughts on the St. Joe's game and our prospects to make the Sweet 16 this season??

Are you oblivious to your own comments? Were you not just the one who asked if mick knows how irrelevant UC basketball has become under his watch? It's my wet dream to come on here and see things remain on topic, and everyday it's the same.

As far as St. Joes goes, i think it's a tough draw. They have the best player on the court and maybe even the 2 best. Someone mentioned keeping Bembry from having the type of game that Niang had against us. If we allow everything to go through him we're in trouble. That said, we only lost to Iowa St. by 2 even with Niang doing whatever he wanted. We gave up some brutal baseline 3's that cost us as well. I think UC pulls it out by 4
 
St. Joes finished 4th in the A-10. We beat VCU, who tied for 1st in the A-10, on their home court. We also beat GW. Their strength plays right into our biggest strength....defending the 2. Unless we create the next great 3-point shooter in college basketball, which we have done for many teams this season, we should defeat this team and move on to Oregon. I think we will actually compete well with Oregon and I see it as a 50-50 chance for victory. Anything is possible with this team. It just all boils down to what round our typical "bleeding eyeballs" offense shows up. Whenever it shows up, we're done. Can we keep it suppressed for 2 games and make the sweet 16? It honestly wouldn't surprise me, but it's doubtful. I also don't think our defense has been quite as good this year as in past years either.....which means we really need to be better offensively. Hopefully Caupain's recent surge ignites us and we rally at the right time!
 
If Clark can't elevate like he usually can, we could see a lot of Brimah like blocks. He does a good job of using his body to create space in the air but if his ankle is gimpy it won't be too pretty. The only game i saw of St. joes was against virgina tech where Isaiah Miles was a complete freak so maybe my view of him is a little skewed.

Terrible news that i just saw, Doug Gottlieb is calling the game Friday. If there is one guy that consistently writes UC off in the tourney it is him. Would love for this team to get it going and make it to the sweet 16. Out of all the one seeds in past memory, even though i dont know much about them, Oregon seems like the weakest in a while. Get healthy, play hard and things might finally go the bearcats way.

PS i would rather have Doris burke call this game then Gottlieb

Lol, i love when posters come on here and try and bash our former coach.

Huggs first 9 years. 2 nit trips, 2 elite 8. 3 second rounds.1 first round, and one final four.

Most programs would kill to have that type of success in 9 years, including the current uc program that you want to compare the past to.

Foolish comments on your part,sir

I used the first 9 years, so you can compare cronin's march sadness with.

Shitty news. Hard booze it is then.
 
Does anyone know if we advance to the sweet 16 what day and time will it be. I think it's next Thursday but I can't find it. Just checking because I'm going to take work off regardless if we make it. Thanks

Lol, yea cuz that's a reasonable comparison. The state of the program when Cronin took over wasn't even comparable. If you think I believe Cronin is better than huggs you're high as a kite, but your 24/7 morning wood for our former coach won't let think rationally. I get it though.

As a Mod don't you have the ability to make it better or less lame? Honest question, it's gotten into another BS pissing match between the Huggs years and the Mick years....AGAIN.

If that were the case he would have to delete every thread...

This thread will be lame until Friday or something big comes up in the media unfortunately.

We've had a few Reports today and we are doing our best to handle it as quickly and as fairly as possible.

I'll own that. I always go at it when people go out of their way to criticize the coach, team, etc. My bad
