I’m 35, 36 in July.. I became a Bearcats fan watching Huggins teams with my dad. My dad taped the final foul and we watched all the time The lady who cleaned their apartments lived above us and I thought it was so cool when she brought me a sticky note signed by lazelle durden. Then I got to know some of the players and Huggins in the later years. My first job was BB riverboats/benson catering. We ran dinner at the Ucats club and fed the team before every game. Huggins was like a gangster. Always cussing and yelling at people on the phone. |

I get the frustration. And if Brannen is the guy who delivers in that area then he gets my support. But I’m well past the point of wanting mick back and also I’m not at the fire Brannen stage. Im squarely in the critique a coach the way I critiqued mick. I mean, people seem to forget that I voiced very vocal complaints about the team across town seemingly always able to land top tier talent and us always turning over rocks looking for hidden gems. Mick’s recruiting always bothered me. Not that he couldn’t land talent: it’s that I believe that the key to a successful tourney run is a stacked recruiting class every 2 to 3 years. Mick just wanted one major contributor in every class and the rest role players. I always bitched about the 300+ games on the schedule too. Like people act like I was a mick Cronin ball sack licker when he was here. I wasn’t. I called out the program when I thought I needed to. And 1 year of Brannen ball, I do have concerns. Not fire able concerns just concerns. I don’t just hand over the reigns to a program I care so much about and not have reservations. |

Is there a preference between facing UCF vs USF in the quarters?
UCF -Better shooting team -Better frontcourt players (Smith & Ingram) -Deeper bench -Has already beaten us once USF -Better defensive team -Better guards (Collins & Rideau) -Top 6 players are more talented than UCF's top 6 -Won @Temple and @Memphis this season |

Jarron seems to feed off the crowd whether it's home or hostile.
