We played a team that plays some of the best defense in the nation; we missed a lot of jumpers; how is this on MICK?!?!? He can't shoot it for them. If we hit from the outside, we would have won. We didn't, and we lost. UCF takes away the paint. It's what they do. We didn't hit shots from the outside. We lost. This isn't on Mick for pete sakes.

Yes it is, they are only 25-4. Dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm very happy that UC is 25-4. They have had a great season. And the season is surely not over. But the hope of a conference championship is over.

But I am not sorry for questioning UC's game plan today. Yes, I know they missed a lot of shots - a lot of good shots. But they looked like a team that did not know how to attack that zone and instead played the normal UC offense of throw the ball around the perimeter. It's just my opinion and I am entitled to it.

For starters, Caupain should have been on the bench. I like Troy, but this is not his matchup.

Easy gents. No one is calling for armageddon or Mick's head. At least I'm not. This was a disappointing loss when you consider what was at stake. UConn an SMU both found a way to beat UCF in their gym.

You may not be, but the regular mick trashers are.

despite it all we should have forced OT...we missed a dunk at the buzzer. This isn't on Mick. give me a fricking break.

How do we know the game plan was bad? No matter what the game plan is against UCF you are going to have to knock down outside shots. We shot like crap today. Also they pack it in with that zone and have godzilla standing in the middle. Makes post players look bad. Granted our guys were psyched out and should have shot faked and drove it by him. Even when they did that they missed the shots. Mick can't make the shots for them.

Keep crediting UCF's defense for that performance, it's not like they've played this way all year away from home (and even sometimes at home, where the defensive effort just evaporates).

No! They should have called it and waited for Broome!

this

saying the gameplan was bad is dumb

You know UCF was going to take away the paint
we had to hit jumpers
we didn't
we lost

and in spite of all that, we could have forced OT if we hadn't botched a flipping alley oop DUNK


not on mick at all

It's never just we lose a game around here. It's full blown armageddon and the haters come out full force. I hate to lose as well but c'mon guys. We have a good coach and a good team. Quit being such cry babies.

only an idiot would have put a pre season conference POY, sr point guard on the bench on the road in the final five minutes....an idiot

gawd man, I thought you knew basketball

Why is nobody allowed to question anything when there is a loss without being called a "hater"?

we missed an alley oop dunk at the buzzer to tie it....it's on Mick

Yep. It's ridiculous.

And with such a disaster as we all just witnessed...Cincy just fell all the way from 13 to 14 in the RPI.

You're the king of ad hominems and straw men. Good for you.

Your wit is so sharp, it's no wonder it took you a year or two to get off Tuberville's knob (for those using their jump to conclusions mat, I'm not trying to insinuate anything between Tuberville and Cronin - Cronin's good at his job and it would take more than a bad game or season to change that).

And your the queen of the haters

No, I think you take that title. I've read some of the moronic trash you post on the conference board. I'm happy to criticize even a good coach. There isn't a coach in the country beyond criticism. Some of you just choose to bury your heads up your asses each and every time when teams have issues (football, basketball... doesn't matter) and then act all surprised when the obvious conclusive arrives.

what's to question?! The Cats missed a lot of shots that they should have hit, they missed an alley oop dunk at 2.8sec left to tie...what is to question Mick on?

If you think Troy should have been on the bench on the final five minutes, you don't know basketball. It isn't on Mick. you go with your players. Caupain has been there a 1000 times. He just didnt' have a great game. Jenifer wasn't going to do anything better.

KW had a horrible game: bad decision making with the ball, but he still had to play

God, the audacity.

How dare they drop you guys 1 rank for losing to a sub 100 team on the road.

Bingo! I go after our opponents. You attack Cronin and the bearcats.
