The last 2 games was an accumulation of the past month and a half. Yea we could have tied UCF at the end of regulation but anyone who watched that game knows we got dominated. Houston dominated us twice. Jarron not playing out of his mind like the 1st round was really the only difference. We have gotten VERY lucky in a lot of games this year. We could easily be a 10 loss team and no one should be excited for another 1st round exit.

In our past 11 games we've only won one of them by more then 5 points. Let that sink in. We are a VERY lucky team this year but anyone who has really paid attention knows this team isn't very good.

Top 20 is mediocre? 25-5 is mediocre? 9 straight tournaments is mediocre? 68% winning percentage is mediocre? #2 seed in the conference tournament is mediocre?

Cronin lives and dies by the sword. The man absolutely refuses to do anything creative or new with his coaching philosophy. It doesn't matter the players much. Speaking of players we just spent 90 million renovating a beautiful arena and recruiting is still mediocre. How in the hell is that acceptable? Hurley, Penny, Kelvin, Dawkins are building. We are clinging to dear life. Hurleys a jerk but a coach you want on your team. Did you see his energy compared to the funeral director Cronin? I don't see how fans can be optimistic about what we have coming back next year when Cronin's 14 year track record proves that it doesn't matter what he has coming back ever the results will be consistently the same.
Bingo. You know we will be overhyped and lose in the first round of the tourney and Cronin will give some bs excuses and get all defensive in the post game interviews

Is 1 sweet 16 in 14 years and 8 tourney appearances mediocre?

And as long as teams are successful in putting all their attention on Cumby, it's gonna be a quick exit in March. Still proud of this team and this season far exceeded my expectations.
Agree with that 100%. I am totally proud of this teams and the players who got minutes played up to their potential. Problem is the potential of the starting five is capped not too high.

6 years of first weekend exits? Mediocre.

Well we didn’t lose....isn’t that the point? We won 25 games...yeah a lot were close but in the end we won. Doesn’t coaching have something to do with that? It’s pretty shitty to discount the positives of the season every time we lose.....especially when losing doesn’t happen very often.

I guess if you are a fair weather fan that only gives a shit about a one and done tournament.

We shoot 72% as a team at the foul line. 11th best out of the top 25 teams
