Great win by Cincy.. Now we just need to continue to play shutdown D, and develop the offense

Don't give me that bull dude. That was a whiny back handed insult because you didn't like the way Cronin reacted to that BS call at the end of regulation. It's not about winning the officials or whatever nonsense you want to call it, it's about standing up for your kids when they are getting hosed by refs who aren't accountable, which they aren't this year due to the hole at the head of officiating level who selects NCAA tournament refs. Something Tulane knows nothing about I might add.

Calling him whiny is comparing him to coach K. I don't see that as insulting.

LOLOLOL A Memphis fan telling me to mellow....you guys are the most passionate of all.

Tulane plays Washington and St John's coming up, so we will probably be "exposed" shall we say. We're still very weak in the frontcourt, although much better than last year.
I suspect that the OOC performance in this league, especially from the presumed top, is an anomaly. It will probably cost us a NCAA bid or 2, but by January, teams will be playing a lot better - but it will just be among ourselves, so it help in that regard. Teams are getting players eligible for January and others will just start playing better.

Agreed. To me, the question isn't whether we win those 2 games, but simply whether we avoid the blowout loss, which is what would've happened last year.
