I hope Cronin doesn’t start following the way a lot of these coaches are getting talent. The university and program reputation is more important than the “real fans” who need a march run to show up or watch the games.
What's that "something" you're rooting for in March? How's that working out for you buddy? And you were happy with today's coaching performance on national TV against good competition?

How do you think this top 20 team would do in the ACC, or the Big 10, or the Big 12? Not 25-5 I suspect.

Amen. Cronin harps on this and to his credit he lives it. That said he is not above reproach and accepting virtually no runs in the tournament is a big trade off. I am willing to accept it but think his good quality of loyaltiy became a liability this year with Jennifer.

He doesn't care about winning in the big dance so why does it matter who he's rooting for it's meaningless to him. I do care more than Fool's Gold regular seasons. So that's the difference between myself and you all.

Kind of a disappointing reality check. I think we have over achieved on the season... with that being said, what a let down game.

Nysier played great. Jarron played solid. Everyone else kind laid an egg.

Not sure I've seen a more dominant 8 minute stretch. Up six at the 13 min mark and just got hammered in every aspect of the game.

O and Houston / Corey Davis jr .... Really good.

We were both rooting for the same team today. Sure WE both did not like the results of the game. I am really pulling for the American. This league is going to be very good.

If this league is as bad as you think it is then yes we have a problem.

231 nationally out of 351 in fg%.

Pretty poor.
