Thought you were a "conference doesn't matter guy"? On paper, sure those matchups look tasty but you're gonna have to explain how those teams beating B12, ACC, and SEC teams all the sudden become cake walks in our minds when we play them. Just sayin

Just happened for me. Ticker on ESPN with that ******* Loyola/Nevada matchup at 7:07....son of a bitch. More and more disgusted cuz I don't that caliber of a team for a while at UC. This could have been special.

I'm not a conference doesn't matter guy. I just think it's a lame excuse, when you look at who regularly knocks us out.

I can't f*cking believe we blew a 22 point lead with under 11 minutes left. Impossible. Had to be significantly harder for us to do that than to make the Final 4. We were 99.9% win probability. Chances to beat Loyola and either KState or Kentucky?
This will never go away. That's all this team will be remembered for at the end of the day. Fair or unfair. I mean think about 10 years from now. Tell me "the Nevada game" isn't the first thing you'll think of when someone brings up this team. Really sad. My immediate reaction was to feel bad for our guys. I don't really feel that bad for anyone anymore. There's no excuse in the world for what took place. It's humiliating. |

@coachthorpe
Which fan base should be the most upset with their coach? A. Arizona B. Virginia C. Cincinnati D. Michigan State His choice was UC: It's 1 thing to have a bad game, another to be a few possessions away from a blowout in the 2nd half and lose a 22 pt lead in regulation to a solid but very unspectacular team who was very fortunate to beat a 1st round opponent that shouldn't have even been there. So, C. Cincy |

Idk. Just a different point of view from a guy who has been around the game for a long time. Especially at the HS level. Last edited by jacobkdoyle; 03-20-2018 at 11:29 PM. |

As Cincy flirted with getting up 20 I said to my son @MaxThorpe5 "they need to get up 25 and then it's over." I was serious, but at 22 pts I did think it should have been over. Their lack of any plan whatsoever on offense killed them. "Go crash the glass" isn't a plan. |

I can tell Cincy works on their rebounding and defense a lot more than running any kind of weaponized offense. |
