He missed the prior shoot. He got gun shy. Mick did not tell across the court dont shoot.

Back to back to back conference championship games...what an accomplishment. This team is ugly at times...a lot of times, but it's hard to complain with the results. That said if they play like that tomorrow, they lose by 25. Houston is just better, but we'll see.

Back to back to back... right? Three in a row.

Edit: my bad, misread your message

Also call me crazy and I know it would piss a lot of fans off. But if I were Cronin I'd consider just treating tomorrows game as a scrimmage and conceding defeat before we even start. Give Cumberland 15-20 minutes and let the backups - Johnson, Moore, Fredericks, Diarra - play a lot of minutes. We need the rest and the game won't effect our NCAA tournament seeding.
I would really prefer if he didn't treat a Championship game on National Television like a scrimmage.

If you had told me at any point in the season that Cumberland would shoot 3-16 with 5 turnovers in the AAC semi-finals and we'd still win, I would've recommended professional help for such crazy insights. Yesterday marked a tremendous team effort - especially from players like Fredericks, Diarra, and Nsoseme, who all had very positive impacts on the game in brief appearances.

Beating Houston tomorrow will be a way better win than whoever we play in the first round of the tourney and the second round of the tourney is anything but guaranteed no matter how much Cland rests. Therefore resting Cland does not make sense. That said I totally agree the committee could care less if we win - their seeding is set and we will get jacked either way.

You don't think UC moves up a seed if they win?

cincycpaw will become famous soon enough
I’ve been checking out different ncaa projections. Was really surprised that a few had Bearcats as a #5 seed....that seems high. But maybe it shows we have good hope for a 6 still. And to be honest I might prefer a 6.
