Temple

They've always been horrible.

Hmm...maybe you're right.

KJ is the worst player on the team. Caupain keeps getting tired and we still have a long season ahead. Gotta have someone else play point some.

i think I'll wait until I'm less emotional about the game to make that decision. I gut now I'm ready to throw in the towel.

15 deflections today.

Whatever happened to us playing harder than all the teams we played? I haven't seen that since the Robert Morris game when everyone was noticeably trying as hard as they can to defend and get a stop. That's why we were good last year. Because we played harder than everyone, it's not like that so far this year.

Guys the best thing about sports is there is always a next game or another opportunity. It's been a bad week. Chapman traded as the dismataling of Reds continues and the Bengal s lose on a botched snap. I'm going for a run and have a nice dinner. Everyone have a good evening.

Our defense dropped to #61 in the KenPom. That's how bad Temple has been offensively...

I can't believe how poorly we rebounded today.

Wow down to #35 overall.

I feel like I need a break from sports. Terrible few weeks for UC, football and bball, the Bengals, and the Reds. I hate being a cincy fan sometimes. We are cursed.

I've been asking myself why I have to like sports. I know people who literally couldn't give a shit about what happens. Why can't I be them? Why do I have to care so much? It's always such a let down. Cincy sports are making me depressed I think.

What a joke. Can you really say anymore then this?

3 home losses before the new year.

Just lost to a 125 rpi team at home.

Same mistakes being made game after game.

Real professional of mighty mick to say he didn't feel like answering question on the post game show. If the other coach at UC did this all hell would break loose.

Wonder if Mick regrets saying this was his best team in his time here. Because if this is what we get with his best, then UC needs to man up and get rid of this 10 year mistake they made.

How bad is it when you start asking yourself if Larry Davis would be doing better at this point?

Couldn't agree more. Shit takes its toll and for what? I need some new hobbies.

This team is so soft, mentally and physically. I would like to know how a team that returns majority of their players,from a top 10 defense a year ago play so poorly on defense. They are constantly out of position, not helping, play with zero heart and passion. There is no leadership on this team. Just mind blowing the steep decrease in defense. It appears the players legitimately don't give a shit. How does the coaches, I.E. Cronin and Davis (who coached these same kids last year) allow for this to happen. Clearly the players aren't getting the message about toughness, heart, pride, and privilege for playing for UC. Pretty damn sad. Lots of questions but yet we get zero answers.

Cronin: "Right now they're a disgrace to everyone who's helped build the program. They owe those guys an apology."

Cronin said the only guy yelling in the locker room was Kyle Washington.....that's one helluva problem. Currently players are so weak. I'd give em the boot and find players who will give it their all. Eff em.

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

It's not something tangible man. Hard to answer a question of mental fortitude.

 

[L-T]

Sure glad I took time out of an otherwise decent day to drive down and watch that mess. Home losses have become a Cronin staple. He apologized to the fans after the game. He should have thanked everyone for giving him 10 freaking years and making him the 22nd highest paid coach in America to produce what? We want Tuberville gone in only 3 years, but we want Mick here forever. Makes a lot of sense. My stance on his performance has not wavered much over the years, so none of this is surprising me. The plug should have been pulled a long time ago, but we were busy chasing the football dream and Mick was a convenient answer for basketball. Now, both programs are screwed up!

 

[jacobkdoyle]

We need to be 6-2 at worst in AAC heading into the game at UConn.

 

[TheLivingLegend]

Hit our stride at the right time and we will be okay....

Mick can't play this defense it doesn't appear

There isn't a defense this team could play with the effort they give. They've been out worked all season long. They did man and zone today, but when you stand around and do nothing, what does it matter.

 

[cincrulz11]

This is completely on the players. The system hasn't changed, the coaching hasn't changed, the players haven't changed. The effort and desire just isn't there. There is just no reason to be worse than last year.


There is plenty to talk about with Mick, but the players themselves have to have enough pride as players to show up every day and work. That clearly isn't happening.
