So what, we should be happy with Brannen losing over half his games and not making the NCAA tournament? I don't think anyone says Cronin was perfect, but he sure was a lot better than Brannen has been.

I think comparing these coaches and situations are useless but let’s not pretend even the players who did go NBA have been lighting it up.
It was always borderline except one season. On the bubble. Players who either didn’t get drafted or were late. Eason could end up better than all of them in NBA who knows. Chill out and watch. There will be plenty of time to bitch |

Well in one and a half years he has half as many conference championships as Cronin had in 12.

Brannen is better then Mick Cronin. You heard it here first. Just an FYI though that UCLA is 3-0 in the pac 12, UC Is 0-3 in the American and we haven’t even played Houston or Memphis. I get saying.... let’s let this play out. Because literally that’s all we can do. They signed him for 6 frickin years, it should have been 4 but they signed him to 6 so no matter what we’re stuck with him for at least 2 more seasons before we can even afford a buy out, But saying that you see something in the product on the court that gives you hope, to Me that’s just denial. The same problems that plagued us last season are still here only worse bc we don’t have jarron, Jaevin & Tre to save our ass. Right the only hope we have is that coach does something completely different because I don’t see a fluid offense, or cohesive defense. I see at absolutel mess of a team, inside the locker room and on the court. |

No don’t be happy, of course. The team is trash. Just don’t act like everything Cronin did was great and everything brannen does is terrible. Cronin didn’t make every player a star. He had a lot of misses, a lot. Every coach does. Just because dou and Keith aren’t great players, isn’t brannen fault. Isn’t Cronin either. Especially Keith. Brannen is giving him every chance to succeed

NET rankings released.
Uc coming in at 142 That’s worse then: Houston SMU WSU Tulsa UCF Memphis ECU USF We are 10 spots better then temple and like 50 better then Tulane. Who’d have ever thunk that beating UC on its home wouldn’t even be a Tier 2 win. |

In my opinion, there is a difference in mid major players. Guys like eliel nsesome translate to any level because they rebound, defend & play hard. Guys like Chris Vogt and Rap, don’t translate because they lack those effort and toughness skills while also lacking athletic ability. |
