Let Cronin say what he wants. Maybe Diaco should have started a rivalry with Cincinnati?

Don't even bring that up please, its too infuriating for me. Yes, Diaco was an idiot for thinking forcing a rivalry would work, but the way UCF is systematically going out of its way to insult the trophy screams misplaced hubris and a sense of them using this as an opportunity for a lesser program to "big league" another one, simply because they live in one of those swampland states that likes foosballs /rant

I'll be honest, I like Cronin. I like that nobody is off limits for him to take a shot at and I like the fact that he seems to be a miserable human being. Where Cincinnati is concerned, they're the only program in the conference that feels like a peer and all our games with them - though usually ugly - have a pulse.

Actually, I think all the blame falls on Diaco. I would have done the same thing if I was UCF.

But...this is a basketball board! Taliek Brown sucks! Jerome isn't a point guard! Why can't Amida play better defense than those chairs?!

And Purvis doesn't even deserve to be on the all suck team

The Temple games have been interesting also
Cronin is a piece of work but better watch out or he will blow a gasket

Seems like the last couple years we've lost the exact same game to Temple four times, with the latest one being the biggest stomach punch of them all.

SMU has kicked our asses a few times. Will be interesting to see what becomes of them post-Brown.
 
There are Cincy fans on the CNS board right now criticizing Ollie for constantly complaining too the referees.

On our board, 1,000+ threads have started because Ollie never complains to the refs.

And there coach is Cronin!!!

Wow, kobe is a good poster, but is he the only non-obtuse Cincy fan?

The answer is that fans are by definition not objective. We have plenty of that kind on here, too.

Of course what you say is mostly true (and I threw you a like), but do me (if not the lot of us) a favor and leave the football-centric and especially the Diaco posts on the football board. There are many a football fan on this board trying to avoid the negativity being churned up on the football board.
 
Cronin is an idiot.

There is not a college referee working that would have counted that play & disallowed the hoop. Take your medicine ... tell your kids not to be beyond half-court celebrating as Adams gets the ball and launched. Classic UConn play and one that Cincinnati just hasn't had in the last 30 years of our rise.
 
Lots of thoughts on Rodney and his ommission from the all conference team. Rodney is a scorer and a solid defender, but I understand the coaches not naming him on their ballots. He has a unique skillset that also contains some serious holes, namely ball handling, facilitating and finishing. Despite that, he is a great scorer once he starts rolling, and could very well be one of the top scorers in the conference. In addition, he is a fantastic kid and teammate who is clearly loving his college experience.

Additionally, preseason awards are kind of meaningless. The ones that matter come in the spring.

UConn's Purvis stoic about AAC snub

Just for husky99 here's a quote from the article.

When asked about the perceived snub, the senior from Raleigh, North Carolina shrugged it off.

“Nah, it doesn’t bother me. It’s all good,” Purvis said.

But that doesn’t mean Purvis will forget what the other league’s coaches thought about him. As with most players, he’s always looking for an edge.

“It’s definitely motivation but I’m not going to sit here and have a fit about it,” Purvis said. “I really don’t care about it too much.

“It doesn’t matter now. You’ll see who’s on it at the end,” Purvis added.

I take issue with this in that if there was no ear piece, why not just hold the wire or tape it to your lapel, tie, or something like that. Why tape the wire to your face? Who's in charge here?

Or at the very least, tape it to the off camera side? Seriously, how hard is that?

Purvis is taped also. Money only spent on the media folks.

I still like Mick. He's all in on his team and doesn't give a Spartacus about yours. I can deal with that.
