You can't ban someone just because he's a rah rah guy for Cronin. He thinks Mick is the second coming, and you'll have to put up with his posts until the season's over. Then you can go back to his posts and rip them. He was sure last year we were going all the way, and I'm sure you'll hear that repeatedly no matter how the team performs.
That being said, tonight's game wasn't even a good scrimmage for us, but it gave the guys a chance to just go out and have fun. Take everything that looked good and toss it out because it was against a real doormat of a team. Everyone had their :15 minutes of fame in this one. Let's hope that it was a good confidence booster going into the meat of the schedule.
 
Its not rah rah, its classic trolling. He tries to get a rise out of people by the ridiculous things he says. Count me in the group that will always ignore him, but I just thought he was gone and I was happy about it.

I don't think he's trolling, he just believes his own rhetoric. Those are the people who have no connection with reality.
 
I realize that Chicago St. is probably one of the 50 worst teams in D-1, but DAMN that was a beat down! 69-21 rebounding edge?? That's ridiculous! Sanders had a hell of a game and Jackson continues his impressive play. Not a lot to take from these games, but it's always nice to see effort like that.

Chicago State took DePaul to overtime. What does that make DePaul?
 
Mick says that's what the offense is capable of....

We probably put up 102pts on air in practice too

I want results in big games! and no more excuses

Agreed. Couldn't care less how great they look against d2 schools. They can man handle these schools based on athleticism but that advantage goes away against good competition. JJ and Sanders continue to look bad against good competition so I put very little into what they do in these games. I'm just glad Guyn finally got an assist.

All we have to do is rebound every missed shot until finally one goes in...

I will say this team plays much more loose and confident when holding a lead and that helps them stay focused on their gameplan. When they got behind vs. X they just melted. I thought they gave good effort vs. New Mexico even though they got behind big early. The NC State game was back and forth as was the Pit game and we seemed tight but still gave good effort. When we built a lead vs. NC State late they settled down and pushed the lead. I like how this team hasn't built a lead and then got comfortable and gave the lead up or let a team back in it.

That was a fun game to watch because you could see the Cats really got motivated to crash the glass. Hopefully that is contagious. With that said, I saw absolutely no effort to rebound from Chicago State. Especially when they were on offense. When they took a shot everyone just seemed happy it would either go in or not and turned up court to get on D. I didn't see any players rush in to get in position to rebound after they took shots. No surprise they had zero players grab an offensive rebound (all three of their offensive rebounds were team rebounds). What I did like when we crashed the glass on the offensive side was how many tip-outs we had where guys couldn't grab the rebounds but tipped it out to the guards where we could secure it. I saw this happen numerous times. That's how you know a team is playing good team ball. Again, level of competition, but if you can do the right things vs. lesser competition then at least you know what to do when you play anybody. Execution will be another story and we can be assured that most teams will at least attempt to rebound the ball against us. 69-21 is just unfathomable for a rebounding margin. Enjoy it while you can and get it in your head that you can grab every rebound and go forward with confidence.
 
Chicago State is a decent team and UC just absolutely annihilated them. That tells you how good UC is and can be.

Again, the offense is fine. Mick has everyone's attention now on that team. We are going to roll in conference play

You must have operated on your own brain!
Chicago State couldn't beat you 5 on 1 (make that 5 on 2 because you'd have Mick on your team). Well maybe with Mick playing the 1 Chicago State would beat you.

LOL @ Chicago State being a decent team. 2 of their wins are against non-division I teams. Their best win is probably over 4-8 Southern Illinois. They also have wins over powerhouses Jacksonville State and SIU-Edwardsville.
