I think over the last 2 years Mick has changed the narrative about the game though. He is taking it way more serious.
I mean he basically admitted that he didnt do any scouting for Alabama State and was completely focused on Xavier.
Still if we lose to them in their gym, I just don't think it says a whole lot about how good UC is.
#1...I am not sure I have heard what you have heard from Cronin over the past 2 years.
#2...he would have probably looked over AL ST for any ranked team they had to play next.
#3...if we can WIN in their gym it will say a LOT more about our team than if we lose. Knowing we can win in that environment will tell me what we have. If we lose...I still won't know just how tough we are or whether or not we have the type of mentality to make a March run. We need players that can win anywhere if we want to be considered a contender.
