Motivation

In most off-seasons, we feel like we are headed in a good direction and our team will have a chance for some big success. Does anyone think that this year? I sure don't. Our players have to feel that. No doubt. So what's making our players go the extra mile this summer?

I don't know if these returning players will ever recover from Sunday.

I have a bad feeling about our close games next year. We may be a bubble team. I thought there was no way that could be true before. But this loss on Sunday is something so damaging I just don't know how we bounce back.

Jake I think Mick recruits kids that have a good work ethic. Effort or work ethic has never been a issue for Cronin coached teams. I do think as we are currently sitting we are not as talented as last years team but we could land a player or transfer that could improve our situatio.

They could also use it for motivation. Time will tell

Not anymore than the teams past have used losses as motivation. Except this time, they can't really go up. We got the 2 seed. We got the draw. We choked harder than any team in NCAA Tournament history. I seriously don't know why these guys would work as hard as last year.

I hope because they love the competition. You don’t get to this level without drive to be better

I worry about coach losing the team. If I was Cumberland, I'd completely tune him out and go pro after next year. Even if it means he has to go overseas. Being berated and humiliated to the level he was on national TV is unacceptable. I would lose a lot of respect for my coach if he treated me that way.

Cumberland is the epitome of a great college player that is not fit for the nba, there is no way he is leaving early

Not if that's where he'd end up anyway.
