That's some real wisdom right there. Takes a lot of discipline.

What's worse, I have found myself posting when I am sitting in the stands....that's just stupid, gotta stop that - reminds me of people who are so intent on getting pics of an event that they miss the event & only experience it on Instagram or FB

lets say kwash's 3 he makes 40% of the time and evans' game winner he hits 40% of the time. hitting them both back to back is low percentage.


then factor in how often temple misses the wide open 3's they had down the stretch, every single one of them.


people can call it whatever they want. im just glad we're on the right side of it cause we've been pretty unfortunate a lot in recent years.

I was surprised to see Clark shooting technicals and not Evans as well.
On TV they said Clark was 86% I think. I'd take JEIII as well, but Mick must have felt good with GC.

Also every fan base is crazy. Go to any teams board that isn’t playing well. (I know we won). Or follow any soccer league outside of America. They are ready to fire a coach after 1 game. It not just here

We are 13-2. You'd think at some point that'd click with people and they'd realize it's pretty damn good. Instead it's "Yeah we may be 13-2 but what happened vs Harvard 5 years ago? And what will be happening next year?". It's so strange. This team this year can win any game. At what point do you admit as a fan that you are getting what you are claiming to root for? It's right in front of our faces. Our last home loss was over 2 calendar years ago. Season ticket holders just flat out don't see losses for years. Yet there's constant complaining. You would honestly think we are on the outside looking in on the NCAA Tournament by the way some people act. Just sitting back quietly while things go well, then rage-posting while they hate-watch when anything even goes the slightest bit wrong. We don't even have to lose for this to happen either. If these guys dare trail in a conference road game, some people are ready to get rid of it all. And the people who are here everyday are then supposed to show the same respect for these kinds of fans? No thanks. I'd rather not align with the trash portion of the fan base. And I won't be an apologist for it. There's a clear difference between people who have legitimate concerns (people like you and Longhaul), and people who use UC basketball as an outlet for their anger. And I won't let that 2nd group ever gain any traction no matter how hard they try.

If you are older than our players and you spend several hours a week cussing them out and talking sh*t about them while you watch the games, you likely have some pretty serious issues.
