Yeah it didn’t help that the refs swallowed the whistle for us.

I like that people will blame the refs, missed shots, whatever, rather than admit cronin gets out coached in big games. He is a loser.

If we get blown out or lose a close game it's completely different then blowing a 22 point lead in the last 11 min.

How many of them lead by 22 with 10 minutes left? Plus had 4 fouls on the opponent in the first 6 minutes of the second half? Plus stopped going inside?

Next year is a rebuilding year.

Did everyone blow a 22 point lead in 11 minutes against a team they were favored against?

No, no they did not.

We looked scared in the last 5 minutes. We completely panicked. Nevada has guys with fire in their eyes and wanted the ball. Where was that guy for us?

Running clock is ridiculous when we were scoring at will by not doing it. Running the clock forces guys into bad shots when the shot clock runs down cause cronin had absolutely no offensive scheme to get shots.

Evans was the biggest joke the last five games I have seen in my ******* life. Why did they let cane take the ball amongst the trees. Then ******* moore was in. Terrible call. Can't stay the ball that long. Evans is weak. Cumberland was the only bright spot. Clark and Washington I feel bad but guess what, you did it to yourself twice. Can't get position for anything. I have all ways been Cronin fan, but giving the ball to the worst play maker playing his worse basketball ever is a joke. He didn't shoot the jumpers but stalling and letting that weak **** Evans try and play one on five is embarrassing. I ******* hate being a uc fan.

Anyone who shot the ball in the last 5 minutes not named Clark or Washington or from further than 6 feet should be cut from the team. Evans included. That ball HAD to be touched by either Clark or Washington in the post EVERY possession in the last 5 minutes. Too infrequent to slow down Nevada.

Tuff loss!! We had games this year where we were tested especially WSU and Houston games. Today we coughed it up. Got up and quit doing what got us the lead. On to next year

Good season punctuated with one of the most embarrassing losses in Cincinnati sports history, which will most likely be what this season is remembered for. Anyways hope the players can feel better sooner than later, because they will never forget this game. Sorry to all the UC fans that gave up on life, because of this game, just be glad you aren't one of the players right now.
