Are you really talking about the Tournament?

I have posted it since Mick was hired. Mick started to win me over last season. He follows it up with this debacle.

I have always stated Mick cant coach offense. Mick cant motivate. These two losses just back that up.

And im here win or lose. No hiding here. Not sure about that statement.

What positives in the past 5 years?
-Building back a program? ... is the program built back!? 1 NCAA tournament isnt a built program
-..?
-..?

Sorry to rain on your parade, but UC is NIT bound. (Unless you guys actually believe they can win 10 games in the Big East?). 9-9 doesn't cut it, not this year. (Especially with the miserable OOC UC had) Though, Big East is no where near normal so 10 wins is a possibility. Once again, Xavier is talking about seeds- UC is talking about which tournament they will be at. Seems to be the norm these days.

Yeah, the coach must go! UC cant run a O for the life of them, cant make layups I understand bad shooting days but we have one every game! This was a chance too turn our season around and start playing Bearcat ball. As for the fight..... No class from UC or X, we get our butts kicked and we cant take it like a man? Who is leading these Kids? Not mick

This team sucks and to come on here and say I wonder what people will be saying if they make the tourny is completely off topic and girly. No one cares about the future, when you have to live in the present. This team blows

Double Bye Top 4 finish in the BEast.

Well done

The most BEast wins ever, top 4 finish, double bye, and the door closed on NCAA tournament discussion. Let's give credit to Mick and the players who could have folded early in the season but instead fought and clawed their way to be in this position. Yes, there were some let downs, but in the end the proof is in the pudding as they say. Great job Bearcats!! Your work isn't done but we're proud of what you've accomplished. It is funny how many disappear and wait for a moment to be critical. It is moments like these that all Bearcat fans should give credit where credit is due.

Hahaha this is a great thread! Funny to see what we were thinking at the time. Sometimes you gotta just enjoy the ride

Good for you.

This team has come a long way that is for sure. Glad to see it happen and I give the players and coaches credit.

I wonder if Brad Stephens is still an up and coming young coach after the 19 point whooping Valpo put on Butler yesterday?

Life without future NBA players on your team is not as good.

You know what the best part is? When they struggle next year the same poster are going to post the same things again, completely ignoring 2 straight NCAA bids.

bearcat jeff · 03-04-2012, 12:11 PM

The team will be good again next year. I don't believe they'll struggle. Cash, Parker, Jackson, Mbodji, Kilpatrick, Guyn, Davis, Gaines and Sanders will be improved, Thomas and Ellis. You have 11 talented returnees This program is on firm footing guys.

BearcatAlum1 · 03-04-2012, 12:22 PM

I tend to agree with Jeff.

The program is on firm ground. However, each year will require certain guys to improve their games and become "impact" players.

Dixon made that jump from SO. to JR. year. Killa did that from RS year to RS-FR. year.

Will Shaq Thomas be able to give us 8-9ppg and 5-6 rebs? I hope so. Will JJ continue to improve his game? Will Jermaine improve ball-handling and quickness?

Will we get reliable, effective post play?

We do return 3 VERY important pieces...

PG Cash
G Killa
G Parker
F Shaq Thomas
F Cheik or JJ

Does anyone expect Ellis or Gaines to be "impact" players? I think they have a much better chance at becoming impact players in years 3-4.
