Vaughnn needs to step up and look for his shot earlier in the game instead of waiting until the end. I'm ready for Biggie McClain to get more playing time over Adam H who contiues to miss bunnies and make stupid fouls. Williamson plays with a lot of heart - a true Bearcat! You can tell he's got a bum knee but he still gives his all. Another good tackle tonight too!
Not very good defense and no offense. What seemed like such a positive strech now appears likely to turn into 1-2 and dropping fast in the conference (after Wednesday night)and 6-9 and dropping overall.
Mick got outcoached and the players got outplayed by St. John's.
Nice to see the whiners are back. Deal with it. They're a young team who will have ups and downs. And the kids with the sippin' Mick crap will be kicked out of their parents' basement.
Why is it if you choose to see reality you are a whiner?Last week with one tenuous win over a good but struggling team with two starters just coming back and Cronin is the greatest.Yet when then they turn in another clunker in a long list of clunkers it's because they're young.Face it.So far in Cronin's tenure his coaching has had very little effect on players improvement.From my vantage point it's just the opposite.And though I'm not the previous poster,can the basement comments and find some new material.That's as old and worn out as the hand quotation marks.
When you say "Deal with it" what I think you mean to say is "Accept it". I have accepted it--a mediocre program that won't improve until the administration changes...
One step forward, two steps back. I guess rebuilding is never easy. How many fans fell back off the bandwagon?
I suspect that the young players thought that since they knocked off the big bad L'ville Cards that they could just walk into St. John's and take an easy win. Lacked effort and execution on both sides of the ball.
Mick needs more than 5 players on the court. Adam H is an intricate part of the equation and he doesn't get pushed around as much as McClain. When McClain get more experience and adds 35 lbs of muscle he will be a factor, but know he is often out of position. He has a lot to learn, but Mick should be able to groom him.
Nothing wrong with having 10 fouls to give and keep the players fresh either.
Ok Anon 11:12 and 1:10 If you are actually UC basketball fans then I say this with all due respect.... GO TO BED! Would you please? If you are that blind then please just get out of here and you can come back when Cronin has the cats rockin again. If you havent seen improvement from the freshmen then we must be watching different teams. Not to mention the man has had only a few short months with division 1 caliber players that have NO experience. He is getting top quality players in here and after some development the cats will be back. And can we please stop talking about the admin? Its over. We have a wonderful coach that is a great recruiter and the facilities to get it done. These are rough times but just remember giving the circumstances it could have been a lot worse. Go Cats!
In response to the comment about Adam H, he played for a Poland team that the only player that got paid was the coach-player. No other coach really wanted him because they new that he would not be eligible his first year leaving only on year. I agree, he does not help the team a whole lot. He makes stupid fouls, he can not make a basket within 2 feet of the basket, and he turns it over too much. However, the comments from the previous poster shows how little he knows.
Sippin Mic refers to ... Just jump on board and believe everything he says and not to question anything. Just accept that he says the team will be better.
Top 25 recruiting class? Yeah, right Mick. If they are so good, it must be the coaching. Either the coaching is bad or the talent sucks (who recruited them?). Great job Mick.
Note to all you give em time guys. Basketball is a quick fix program. It does not take years to rebuild. I hate Kentucky basketball, but you can bet their program will not suck for long!
I won't judge Mick until it is all said and done but it is hard to believe that he is a better coach than Huggs or Andy. Afterall, they have both won more games with less talent.

Well, that was fun.
Now I think I'll go pull my fingernails out.

Coming back to earth. Let the losing streak begin. Another clueless performance against a team that had lost 6 of 8. Nice job Mickey.
Back to the old Sippin' Mick crew tonight.

Miserable performance.

what does the term sippin mick mean?
Glad that UC didn't play in the Garden or on a major ESPN channel, that was an awful display of basketball.
Agree with 8:52. Let's let Biggie grow into the position. He's going to be with us for a while.
Adam H had to be a dud coming in, why else would he have been available when he was.
I hope that team in Poland wasn't paying him too much money. Bad investment. Reikenecker's missed bunny record is in trouble.

I guess with the Post and Josh gone, now we've all got to go to the Georgetown News-Graphic for our Bearcat news

Why do we have to go to the Georgetwon paper to find out this stuff?

Nothing is as old and worn out as the vapid "sippin' mick" comments. Nothing.

Make fun of Mick all you want. Huggy (Puking) Bear isn't coming back.
And Nancy isn't going anywhere.
Please hold your breath.

UC has become a national joke...
again...
Fire Mick Yates and Hire Andy!
