I swear, UC fans after a big loss makes me want to quit the internet.
I'm more upset with the shitty hot takes than I am about losing to #23 in Kenpom Houston at home. if Houston were in the Big East, they'd be in 4th place above Seton Hall, Providence and Butler and just one spot below Creighton. But because perception means so much to people, losing to houston was like losing to Mississippi valley state or something. its insanity. we can't have it both ways. We can't have a league that is improved and still run through like its the MEAC. If you want a respectable league then you want a league when you can lose on the road to multiple opponents. We just punched Houston's ticket. And it sets up a great game for Temple to beat them and made get themselves in the field. |

It's over though. No need to beat the dead horse. I put this one on Cronin more than the players. At the same time I put a lot of our wins on Cronin too so it's not a Cronin bashing session. |

Look at his numbers in conference play: 18.5 minutes/games 30.8 FG% 55 FT% 10.0 points/40 minutes 10.6 PER 42.1 TS% ^These just give an idea, but that's what it is. No one else on the team would be getting a free pass for this. And we would never scream for more minutes for a player like this. You can complain about Cronin's handling him all you want but Cronin isn't making him have multiple 1-7 shooting games, Cronin isn't making him miss FTs, etc. He hasn't been as advertised and he's not ready...at least not to this point. Again though, I don't think he'll be ready this year. Not anyone's fault. Just bad timing with how good the rest of our team is. Too bad we can't have the Cane Broome next year, this year. But we need PG play desperately. I think it's going to be Evans more. And I think we'll see a lineup of Evans, Cumberland. Moore, Clark, Washington like we did down the stretch, maybe more than any lineup the rest of the year. With the Jenifer lineup being up there as well. JMO. |

It's just so fortunate that this isn't the week we go play South Florida after that depressing loss. Thank God we get to play WSU at home and hopefully gain the team and fans confidence back. Last edited by GarradJ21; 02-16-2018 at 11:58 AM. |

Hasn't really translated into a consistent player yet. And if he's fouling 3 point shooters and playing the worst defense of anyone on the floor, hard to look past rough offensive numbers too. Not trying to be hard on him, I just think we need to admit that he isn't ready yet to be the player we all want him to be.
