December 25, 201114 yr I'm not sure how you define undisciplined, but to trash talk like they did in the UC game is pretty much the definition of undisciplined to me. I disagree . Irrelevant to my point. However you judge them to be is how they were for the last 2 or 3 years. Nothing has changed. So I don't buy the crap that says NOW they are losing because of "fill in the blank with the current pop psychology analysis." Nothing has changed. The fight didn't suddenly change them in any way.

I don't care how long they've done it. A disciplined group of young men would not act or talk that like.
December 25, 201114 yr I don't care how long they've done it. A disciplined group of young men would not act or talk that like. Regardless if you think they are angels or if you think they are street punks they haven't changed. They've been this way since day one. Whatever label you want to throw upon them today is NOT the reason they've lost 3 games.

December 25, 201114 yr Big loss for the Muskies. They have been a completely different team since their game with UC and by no means in a good way.
December 25, 201114 yr Still plenty of time left. I can guarantee this will be their last three game losing streak of the season. I'm not one to doubt X, they've been a quality program for the last 25 years. Tu and Lyons are as good as any back court duo in the land. The one issue they have is they aren't big so matchups are the key. I think they need to find that 3rd option on the wing to become a complete team and I think he's sitting out for a few more games.

Excellent points Neerfan, and X is disciplined where it counts the most, the classroom. X still put a whippin' on UC and beats those "quality" SEC teams with regularity. They will be fine by seasons end. 10,000 folks will show up at the Cintas Center, while Mick will be beggin' for more to enter the half empty Shoe. UC fans will try to point to that crosstown shootout game and moment as the defining X entrance into thugdum, which is their way of hoping that the title is taken off of the Bearcats. Congrats UC on whippin' Chicago State yesterday. The team from the Windy City is still looking for their first win.
December 25, 201114 yr No matter what the fight killed their seeding for the NCAA tournament. This statement could be true. I think many X fans pegged the team with 5 or 6 losses just because it's hard not to lose more than that. They've certainly used 3 of them up on teams they would have expected to beat. You deal with the hand you end up with and move on.

December 26, 201114 yr When was the last time they were irrlevant? Been a while. Curious about your disdain for X. I know it didn't start with the UC game like many. A guy I know that's always a huge smart ellic about sports is a huge X fan, I love to give him a hard time about them. So if they do terrible I'll have tons of ammo.

Now no shot at a 2.
