Enjoy brother. A bus is dragging X's losin asses back to Avondale as we communicate. Lol!!!

I think you have a GPS on the X bus. Are they moving further away from Norwood ?

 

[jacobkdoyle]

I wouldn't want to play us.

 

[Garybearcat]

LOL

I love all our guys and wish them all the best. Sarcasm is my way of recovering from the stress of the shootout.

 

[GoCats88]

Haha what's the drink of the night?

Crazy how you can still be negative after a game like this.. you want literal perfection? Just be happy for a little while..

Anybody see Cumberland jawing with Mack during the game?

I think that goes back to his recruitment. Loved it.

Yep, goes back to my point that he gets IT lol

do the dipshits in here blaming the coach for the free throw shooting really think we coach and/or practice anything different from anyone else with regard to free throws?

No doubt, anyone at the game could tell the game/pressure was getting to UC when they went to the line. All mental. But seriously, who cares, we overcame and still kicked their ass.

Thanks to Marshall for teaching us how to over come

Mick mentioned them on post game radio show, but pretty much said we don't see this in our league ( crap league). Darn B12

 

[bearcat23]

It was great to see us win a game in the 80s too

Just looked at the box score again, didn't realize Evans had 21. Dude can play, could be an all time great here.

The future looks promising the way Cumberland played

I love beating Xavier

How on fire Was that fricking dude, 9-10 from deep lol

 

[ZCat]

Agreed!

But have you noticed the difference in this team from other recent teams. We are winning down the stretch with offense. This bodes well for March. If I was Mick I would send them right out to the court once the crowd leaves and have them shooting free throws.

He is coaching and talking and pushing the guys like he KNOWS what he's got. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he did just that ( FT drill). We can't lose this opportunity. solid chance for E-8. The tourney is a crap shoot but this team is our chance.
He said they can score ( or be very good?), Said he just needs to bring it out of them.

I'm going to go ahead and take credit for this win. After Blueitt hit his second three of the second half, I went in my basement, changed TVs, got on the treadmill, ran a few miles and voila! Bearcats win!

 

[Patrick Bateman]

I know he is banged up but is Sumner really a 1st rd pick?

 

[2bearcatdad]

Don't even know what to say, so happy for these guys. Obviously Caupain and Johnson the most. This teams never stops. They are unbreakable. Coach Cronin, the staff, and the players should be so proud of what's happening here. Such a joy to watch these guys. I can't help but think of 2 years ago @Nebraska. Let's face it guys, it was gross. Watching this team tonight was amazing. They have a guy who goes out of his mind and scores 40, we shoot like crap at the line, and we win going away. I have a buddy who took UC -4 then took them +190 at halftime. Let's just say he's a UC fan now. What a game. 2 good teams, great college basketball game. This is how the rivalry should be. The vibe around all of it this week was amazing. So proud of these guys. What a game.

100%

Great atmosphere to host many top FB recruits, Vann tweeted that we have his attention, all around great night to be a bearcat

I can't imagine rooting for Macura

Cumberland

He grew up wanting these moments. So glad he's on our team.

Micks whole post game on WLW tonight was awesome. Not sure what different things he says on the other interviews, but here is quick summary about what he said about JC

paraphrased
Complimented asst coach whom identified him. Then:
This is why I recruited him HARD. What u saw tonight is what I saw all the time from him. I went to many, many, many of his games. wanted him to know how bad I wanted him. I saw him play against top talent, and when the game got bigger, he got bigger. He gets bigger when the game does. Some HEAVY hitters went after him hard once they saw this. I had to convince him to stay home where his family could see him play.
end

Mick keeps a lot of the recruiting (and other things) very hush, hush, so I LOVE these behind the scene stories.

I am enjoying every second of this year. If we can get a defensive toughness that I think we are lacking (what was KJ doing at the end of the half not guarding TB?? - this is on espn homepage), we can be tough to beat. I know we have a top 10 D, but it seems there is something missing. Maybe it is just different - not what we are used to. Need someone to take charges, and a Brooks to be a rim protector. Need these role players desperately. Outside chance at FF.
