As always I take the W and move on. Now my rant. We can talk scheme all we want to, and I even agree with most of what is said, but these guys just totally lose focus, fail to play smart basketball, and stand around more than any team I've seen this season. They struggle when they stand around period end of story. It freakin drives me nuts!!!!! There was a posession late, one of Cash's step back 3 moments, when the announcer said, "They couldn't find Kilpatrick." I thought couldn't find him? He has stood in the same place the last 3 posessions and made no effort to get open!! Find him? The pigeons could have built a nest on him!! That's not to pick on Sean, they all do it, but I was going crazy!! They're up 20 and start throwing the ball away, shooting quick 3's instead of looking for a good shot and running clock, and not moving. Can't tell you how pissed I was. Then the game ended and we won. I thought well 6-3 in league isn't too bad. Fact is that's all that matters. If you have to win ugly to win, win ugly. Just keep winning.

Typical UC fashion, playing to the level their opponent. Same thing against DePaul, can't keep the their collective feet on the pedal. But, as the saying goes, a win is a win and a loss is a loss. Would like to see Sanders play more and Gaines play less. Cash looked better, SK played great and then faded a little (he needs to attack the rim every once in a while to keep the defense on their heels), Parker was solid.

Drives me nuts to because its been this way for a few years now. It blows my mind with the veterans we have they still allow it to happen. Also, I'm sorry but gelawn sucked as well as Gaines. Gaines had five crucial mistakes in the start of our fall. They started the fall and shaq looked terrible. But shaq gets a pass BC he is a freshman.

gg and gaines gets a pass too then because they are young also. these guys will get better with more playing time and experience. remember it took parker awhile too so lets not be quick to be down on them

I think it was good that gaines got to play as much as he did. UC had the cushion to absorb his mistakes so if he actually has potential why not let him get some exp when he can. Im sure cronin didnt believe the game was in jeopardy with a 20 pt lead.

We all agree a win is a win.

But winning ugly is only going to get us so far in the tourny. Lets put 2 good halves of bball together and show what we are really capable of. We have not done that yet this season. We have shown spurts, but never a consistent 40 or even 30min

As long as uc keeps winning I could care less how ugly it looks.

By the way, I've accurately predicted all but 4 games this year(2 of which the refs screwed us out of)
