Maaaaybe KU or someone. But it doesn't just happen all the time. The 18-0 to me is a reflection of the maturity and focus of our team night in and night out. This team will always be remembered for this accomplishment, and they should be. No one can ever take it away from them.

Agreed, regardless of competition this is a great accomplishment by our players and staff. Congrats to them all, especially KJ and Troy who haven't always gotten as much appreciation as they may have deserved throughout their careers. Without KJ's late game D we lose to Marshall and without Troy's steady leadership we probably drop a game.

As a fan it's amazing to be able to head down to a full season worth of games and never have to head home frustrated. Last night was especially satisfying knowing that the next time I head to The Shoe for a game it will be a brand new arena. Loved the Shoe but it's time for an upgrade.

agreed!! Going 18-0 is very nice and not easy to do. As a fan who attends many games going to Mio's after a win is much more enjoyable then sitting around after a loss. thanks to the team and staff for making this a very enjoyable home season. Now lets win the conference tourney and have a nice run in the big Dance.

Jesus.

We shouldn't have to go in and take the time to put someone on our ignore lists. They need to be removed. When it's this bad.

Give him a break....we all need opposing viewpoints once in a while. He does have a valid point...which of those games was a surprise or upset that UC won?
It does seem petty and negative to always point out the flip side of what is still an outstanding accomplishment- I don't care who you play...to fight to the finish & never give in at home is what this team has been about- I am proud of what they and the coaching staff have done

If this once a once in awhile thing, I think the reaction would be more as you suggest.

It's not. It's an all the time thing.

I'm all for opposing viewpoints, but you gotta admit Whe you're wrong sometimes or be willing to listen to other viewpoints. Seems like he just post negatives about mick. We get it, you don't like him. I also think the home schedule was easy but going 18-0 is good no matter what

Couldn't agree more. And I'm definitely guilty of this. The more you learn about these guys, the more you see that they are guys who were raised right and are class acts to their core. Really proud that they are on the team I root for, and really happy for them that they get to leave the fans with such a special accomplishment. The bar they have set for protecting our home floor will be something for all future Bearcats to try to live up to. Pretty cool for Troy and Kevin.

I have also been guilty of it as well, especially with KJ, and sometimes their play has warranted criticism. I try not to be too critical of our players though because at the end of the day they're just kids playing basketball and they all want to win just as much as we want them to.

I was talking to my buddies at the game last night about Troy. I think he's so underappreciated by this fan base. He might not be the player we need him to be right now because for whatever reason his scoring has disappeared but he is one heck of a point guard. He's a throwback at his position and plays the point the way it used to be played. He is team first and there's no question he's our leader out on the floor.

I think if Troy played at Duke or North Carolina on a loaded team with lots of other guys around him who can score he'd be one of the most respected players in the country. Unfortunately for him we kind of need him to be a scorer at times and for whatever reason that area of his game has struggled this season. Troy is a true point guard in every sense of the position and I think fans are really going to miss him when he's gone. His contributions to this team have been immeasurable.
