Xavier

[cincrulz11]

I have zero care that mick went after JP. When you say fighting words, be ready to fight.

And then there are these douchebag X fans on twitter saying a 46 year old man attacked a “kid”. What horse shit.

its a very bad look for US. when is the last time you saw any coach trying to fight another teams player? come on this is silliness.


it isn't that macura doesn't deserve for somebody to smash him in the face, but cronin, as the face of this school, cannot act in that manner.


thank goodness the game wasn't on ESPN so nationally nobody is going to care. but its embarrassing to watch the coach of your school act like that. i dont care what anybody said to him.

 

[cincrulz11]

But as for me.

I wouldn’t mind a bit if we took these games off campus. Xavier fans are disgusting humans and I just don’t see the value in playing them any more.

Xavier quit playing Dayton and won’t even consider it because of personal things saud about his wife, we could do the same. It’s a series where I feel terrible when we lose and only relieved when we win. This is Xavier’s super bowl wether they admit it or not. Just fuckin stop playing them for a few years. If they can’t act like normal humans

i don't think we should play them. the way their team and their fans act, theres another fight brewing in the future. too much volatility now, maybe come back to it in the future.



they can't chill the heck out and don't deserve to play teams with how they allow their fans and players to act. i'd be willing to bet wisconsin won't be trying to bring them back in the future (not sure what their current contracts are but they probably aren't looking to do more deals).

Personally I like the banter, that’s the reason why are rivalry is recognized nation wide is because it nasty

Makes it all the better for when we meet them in the round of 32 this year

agree, the people saying they don"t care or are glad he after him are confusing. Can you image if mick would have gotten to Murcia? I have never heard of a coach fighting a player or trying. Mucura is an idiot but so is mick in this situation. He probably would have been fired if they actual fought. It makes him look like a child. That can't help recruiting.

As far as the game goes, how many times are we going to go in to that game unprepared? We looked confused for 30 minutes.

 

[cincyguy13]

I want to keep playing the game but would like to stop getting killed the majority of the time.

I am an X grad and some of you guys are going through sour grapes. Fact is Macura is the guy you hate unless he is in your team. You have had guys like this before so don’t all of sudden stand on your high horse. Mack’s anecdote about Stephensen isnlost on you. He isn’t condemning the player, he is saying players jaw at other players and coaches. It’s the coaches that need to set the example and shake hands post game. Cronin failed that one easy task.

Win or lose you have to get over that. Cronin showed no class but I won’t sit here and claim Macura is blameless. He has his share and I am sure he will be punished. Cronin runs the program, what will his punishment be?

 

[justinhub2003]

Maybe it’s just me then. I don’t get much satisfaction beating. Mostly just relief. And then dread losing to them. I think mick feels the same way.,

All the Xavier narrative is that we need this game. But we could find a another replacement. Hell it could be OSU if they agree. I think it would eat them up inside if we stopped playing each other. This game means so damn much to them.

I’d rather just end the series for 3-5 years. And then see where things stand. A game that brings out the worst in people is a game that shouldn’t be played.

First of all Mack lied. He never called him the N word. Stephenson was asked about it and said I probably said something else negative but i most definitely didn’t call him the N word.


Hahaha you are sure he will be punished?. What a joke. Mack ain’t punishing anyone. He’s a bitch.


3 players arrested and only 1 was punished, and he only punished him because it would be a PR nightmare

this is a statement used all the time to condone stupid behavior. i never support players like macura. dont support burfict, dont support pacman. it's pathetic to behave the way those guys behave.

No one knows if lance said that or not. Mack is going to defend his guy, and he should. but, No matter what is said, Cronin can't fight players.I agree, that talk is part of basketball and I am fine with it but let's not act like this is the first issue Xavier has had. They have been a little out of control going back to the Tu Holloway years.

 

[cincyguy13]

Honest question-do our guys talk at all? jacob and gary never say a word, jarron rarely shows emotion. I know kyle talks some but I rarely see our guys say a word.

How many times have you seen before Saturday a coach getting a technical for cussing at an opposing player

what's your point? many people on here have said cronin went too far.

 

[cincrulz11]

if you are an x fan and come post here now but never any other time, you can **** off.

Everyone wanting to end the series is just bitter we lost imo. Truth is Xavier is in a much better conference and schedules way better ooc than we do so this game is actually much more important to us.

 

[Xu1uc2]

Your right it’s the only game we think about. we lost last year and went to the elite eight. Get a grip our program has passed yours. By the way it was uc fans who through the ball on the court and preceded to tell the section to F off as they were escorted out

 

[ZCat]

Making a run! Really needed that 3 from Cane. I think it's going to be too little too late

We got it to 13, and shot like 4-5 straight 3's. Was anyone surprised??

 

[Xu1uc2]

I apologize my comment was a reply to justinhubbs post

 

[ZCat]

Xavier has over 20 second chance points. Why are we not crashing the defensive boards?

Yes and the boxing out problem.. And the closing out on 3 point shooters (JEIII was also guilty), and Clark left the baseline open in post for an easy layup. I couldn't believe my eyes.

 

[ZCat]

Starting jennifer over Broome I think set the tone of the game and lead to our terrible start. He can't hang offensively or defensive. Bone head decision by Mick.

out thinking it. It's so easy. Start Cane. You got JJ ready for teaching moments.
