I guess I’d be a whole lot happier about being co-champs if we were a lock to make the tourney.


It just feels weird to be excited about it and still not be a lock for the post season.

I think that’s the real question.

Would you rather Win the league but miss the tourney or would you rather finish 2nd or 3rd in the league but be a lock for the tourney before the AAC tourney starts ?


Some people are grading the season an A+++ so I know their answer. They just want to say they won something.

But I’d take 2nd or 3rd and a stress free AAC tourney personally

This was the most **exciting** season of UC Men's Basketball, I've seen in a while brought to us by literally being down in most games and coming back for the W's.

I'm likening this season to Andy Kennedy's 1 season tenure.

Of course there are tons of kinks to be worked out in the near future, but right now " How about THESE CATS!"

I'm just happy to not have to root for Xavier or Dayton in the NCAA Tourney.

Great Season fellas! I really feel confident about our NCAA Tourney chances of getting to a second weekend.

C+ for the entire Season.

This season was far from perfect. But with everything going on, injures, new coach, players leaving, etc, you take a share of regular season title and you don’t apologize for it. Some of the games weren’t perfect but we some quickly forget how every road game with mick was like pulling teeth.

This is so weird lol

Clearly I live in some people’s heads for no reason.

Instead of grading out the regular season, they are grading out my posts and discussing me over a bowl of chicken wings.

Another perfectly normal on topic thread gets derailed by the over correcting apologists.


I gave him a frickin passing grade. I thought my post was pretty positive.

Apparently around here it’s A+ or nothin

It’s everyone else’s fault.

This. Pretty much everything that could have gone wrong for them went wrong. Yet somehow they still managed to win the conference. I'd much rather have a deep tournament run but I still think them winning the conference exceeded expectations. I had them on the bubble this year and that was with a healthy and potential all-american.
