Nevada 75 Cincinnati 73

Mick was correct in what he said, but it comes across as bitter because of the timing.

Let me help you.

 

This team does NOT PLAY a lick of defense. NONE!!! They don't even demonstrate that they understand the concepts, SHY AWAY FROM CHARGES, all one-on-one and little weak side help. Use shot blocking as a primary defensive concept.

Spread them out and go to the house. Sad!

 

Embarrassing!!!

 

Having great athletes will take you a long way against inferior opponents, but when push comes to shove, you better get down and play some D, or at least make the effort.

 

Is this satire? :lol2:

UC defense rated #2 in the nation by kenpom.

 

Nevada offense #6 in the nation by kenpom.

Did you just say UC doesn’t play defense? :lol2:

 

They’re only one of the best 2-3 defensive teams in all of college basketball. Consistently. Year in, year out.

 

It's a bit overhyped partly due to the schedule.

 

Xavier 89

Houston 67

Houston 70

Wichita St 76

Tulsa 74

 

Strong D but a bit overhyped IMO.

Good athletes can be overwhelming, and post sizable, lopsided wins, which make your numbers look good.

 

Did you watch the defensive product that they presented today??? Attempting to steal the ball on every possession and block shots is NOT good defense.

 

The shame is that 80% (or more) of the fans watching the game, have no idea what they are looking at.

 

They were sadly embarrassing defensively today.

Well, I certainly agree with the bold part of your post.

Cronin is not alone in leaving the tournament early..........Tom Izzo, Roy Williams, Bruce Pearl, Tony Bennett, Rick Barnes are all out.

Add Sean Miller.

The final 4 from the South Regional will be for sure #5 Kentucky, #7 Nevada, #11 Loyola of Chicago (who Kentucky played this year) and either #16 UMBC or #9 Kansas State. Unreal

 

UK has not played Loyola of Chicago this season.

UK has not played Loyola of Chicago this season.

You mean Cumberland. I hear you but I see Mick's point in leaving him in. You saw what happened when Cumberland went out. But, I agree I would have sat him till the 4 minute timeout.

 

Yes Cumberland, Mick seemed to be cussing him when he got that 5th foul...I felt it was Mick's fault for leaving him in.

I always keep up with them? Kinda hard not to around here.

 

Whenever you’re ready to come over to the blue side, we all know it’s in you you’ve aren’t L1C4 again until Mack comes anyway. Add one more to the BBN for a few weeks.

I think Mick's cursing was telling him to "get over here" when he saw Cumberland start to talk to the official.

I always enjoy the Ohio State football and UK basketball fan telling others about how they cheer for their teams. :lol2:
