UC game(Early thoughts watching them play)

[xukeith]

As I watch them play UConn tonight, I do notice they play very good defense and their press is looking sharp.

It will be revenge for many of them as last year X destroyed them. Throw the records out for this rivalry game.

Me thinks it will be low scoring and a tough defensive game with los of fouls. Maybe a big game from Bluiett or Reynolds will surprise everyone.

Don't know about revenge. "Killa", Rubles , Mbodj, Wright, Parker and Jackson are all gone. Thomas, Caupain and Sanders are basically the only guys that played last year...and just barely.

Look, they suck and they play in a crap league. Their "offense" is painful to watch and we don't have to worry much about them making a bunch of threes. They throw a lot of crap at the rim and try to score off steals and stick backs. If we don't turn the ball over and rebound respectably we win.

[bjf123]

Low scoring will not be good for us. That's playing to their strength. We need to keep it up tempo.

As someone who absolutely loves ncaa basketball, I cannot force myself to watch the end of the uc uconn game. Really bad basketball, just two teams trying to stop each other with no good offense at all.

[gladdenguy]

I can't even think about that game yet. No way I watch that game on a Wednesday night.
I will hope for good texts near the end of the game. I'm also hoping we do enough before that game so it just is about seeding.
If we can get out of there with a win it will be a very good win in the eyes of the committee.

[XU 87]

We're going into Clifton and we're going to kick their ass. Period. End of story.

[Xavier]

Our bigs will push theirs around pretty easily. If we continue to get better on defense it won't be too difficult, IMO. I think UCs only chance it to make it an extremely sloppy game.

Sloppy to me translates into a lot of fouls. How deep are the Bearkittens.

[coasterville95]

I watched tonights spectacle from the luxurious comfort of a luxury box at 5th 3rd arena,.

They seemed to do a good job keeping U Conn at bay, even if they lost a player to two Techs for Taunting.

I don't imagine its exactly going to be a cake walk.

Thanks for the good laugh this morning. Totally agree that JP will get jacked by someone inside 5/3.

I watched that Cowpain guy get tossed for running his mouth and wondered why a huge brawl didn't start. Because we all know that talking always has to lead to punches. Just ask the cinn media.

Because, remember, the game is on the AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAC's protector network.

I think the game at UC is going to be a really good game, and by that I mean the score will be close. It is probably going to be extremely ugly...UC will dirty it up and the game will probably be in the 50s...Xavier will need to bring their big boy pants to win but I'm sure that they will.

We play in a much bigger Big Boy league now. Big boy pants are required every game.

Really, is there anybody on the Borecats that scares you like DSR, D Harrison, Gibbs, Henton, etc?

I didn't think so.

[Milhouse]

I think it's a good matchup for X honestly. They have some solid athletes but they don't have any guys that are going to stretch the floor on us on Offense. This will allow Stainbrook to play a lot more. They don't have anything close to an answer to him either. I mean heck last year he DOMINATED Justin Jackson. And that kid ended up winning Defensive Player of the Year (in a bad league). I honestly think Jackson ended with like 2 pts and 1 rebound.

I'm intrigued by gary clark. I think he will be good in coming years. I also wouldn't be shocked if Cronin makes an appearance at this game to try and amp the crowd up.

[Milhouse]

Also I watched a bit of the first half. They had a student at UC with a sign that says "Xavier still suX"

This kinda screamed little brother to me...

No they don't have anyone like that, but for anyone to think that we are just going to waltz into UC and easily beat them is kidding themselves.

One, it's a rivalry game where anything can happen. Two, UC has a solid defense, and solid defense can help you win games even with atrocious offense. Three, this kind of blaise attitude toward UC is the same kind of attitude UC and their fans had toward Xavier just a few years ago when Xavier was in a smaller league. Then Xavier came in and beat them. Four, that kind of attitude is the attitude that we used to get pissed off at UC for having just a few years ago, now we are going to act like that just because we are in a better conference? It's amateurish.

Oh, trust me. Nothing blasé about it. Not for me, not for anyone. Point is that we don't to worry about our guys not having enough preparation for a tough game in an opponents environment.

But they suck, pure and simple. They sucked in the past and they suck now. (And I'm 12)

Stainbrook had 7 points in last year's game. Not really domination from an offensive standpoint, but Stains did control the glass and we beat them up on the boards overall.

Make no mistake, Xavier beat UC last year because we shot fecking 70 percent from three and nearly 57 percent from the field. This compensated for the fact that we turned the ball over 20+ times. Meanwhile, UC had their typical offensively-challenged game.

I'm talking about the 1 on 1 matchup more than anything. He couldnt contain stainbrook at all. Looking at the box score Stainbrook had a career high 4 steals too.

I kinda see where UC is coming from. Maybe its because this game is in February now and the middle of conference play. But honestly I'm a bit more excited for our revenge games against Butler, Nova, and Providence (all likely will be ranked when they come to Cintas.)

[Milhouse]

"This dub was personal," Caupain said. "UConn-Cincinnati, Big East and American Conference, is a game I'll never forget once I graduate."

That's a quote from Troy Caupain in the Enquierer this morning.

Troy Caupain is a SOPHOMORE. He NEVER played in the Big East Conference. Closest this kid has gotten is playing one Big East team and getting rocked: Xavier Musketeers.

Respectfully disagree on this one... Justin Jackson may have had a bad game last year, but that doesn't mean anything for this year. UC's defense is scary. And X's offense doesn't exactly love having hands on them at all times. I know our league is much better than theirs now but it's still at UC. Just watching them play in that arena, they shrink the court. The passing lanes disappear and they get every loose ball. Their offense is god awful, but I can already see them getting turnovers and dunks.

Never mind that UCon is about 80 in the RPI right now and in no one's bracket to make the Tournament.

Winning that game last night was equivalent to beating Georgia Tech. Not impressive.

No I know UC has a very good Defense. But I think this is a good matchup for Xavier. They don't have the kind of personnel that absolutely ILLS xavier. and that's the 4/5 position that really stretches the floor. Nova, Depaul, Proivdence and Butler all had a Big that could hit shots and stretch Stainbrook/Farr out.

UC doesn't have anyone that can do that. In fact they don't even have anyone at the 3 position that can do that. I think Dee and Remy will be able to stay with Caupain/Clark. I do think Blueitt might have a tough game if he's at the 4 a lot though.

I think we match up much more favorably this year than we did last year.

[JTG]

Not sure where you are seeing those points. First Gary Clark IS UC PF and the closest Remy will see him is in the post-game handshake line. And when TB id playing PF he will be matched up w/Clark. Most, especially on this Board, would largely see that as advantage XU as Clark is not the type to guard a more mobile player "in space". In the paint Clark does fine but chasing his man from corner to corner and around the perimeter--good luck. Of course TB must be able to handle Clark on the blocks/at the boards or TB loses his advantage, but Clark has not yet developed much low post offense.

If a big dose of objectivity could be injected here, much appreciation --dare we say envy-- will be directed to UC. Their talent level pales in comparison to XU; but they do not let the other team score. For gawd's sake, they press full court constantly without depth or quickness. And on offense they actually pass the ball to open shooters (though none of them are formidable at making a goal). Despise him as you will, but appears Cronin and interim Coach Davis in fact know what they are doing.

Finally, in theory UC really suffers if Ellis is not on the floor, and XU's penchant for feeding Stain can cause major issues and fouls for Ellis. But UC had no trouble w/UCONN last night even with Ellis saddled by fouls. I know Stain much better than UCONN's center so if Ellis does get whistled early, Stain might need a book of one-liners for the presser.

THIS is why we are preceived nationally as the "Younger Brother" and why national t.v. announcers cant say our name right. Our own fans cant even get off Cincinnati's nuts. It's embarrassing.

For whatever reason I was under the assumption that Clark played the 3 and not the 4. That changes a lot.

Really?? This is the best you can do? I remember when UC fans were at least man enough to come on our boards and not hide behind fake screen names. Now I completely understand that being Xavier's little bitch for the last 20 years has probably worn you down a bit, but my goodness that's some weak shit. Grow a pair and come back when you've got something with some substance.

Good point. I agree. Both are facing zero prospects of ever making it into a Power 5 conference.

But, then again, that's why we make about $5 million per year in the Big East with Fox while UC loses money hand over fist in the AAAAAAAAAAAAC.

[muskiefan82]

Xavier and UC have about equal odds of winning a College Football Playoff Championship.

[Backyard Champ]

I think Cincinnati is about a year away from being really good, but you have to respect a top 25 defense.

Not sure about being really good in a year, but their defense is damn good. I think the problem with UC's philosophy is that it is very difficult to advance far in the tournament using their style. Sure they can upset a team or two, and you may be within 8-10 points of a really good team, but with no offense they cant stay with the good offensive teams. UC's offense is horrific, it is so ugly to watch their style of "basketball."

Ultimately, isn't their style on par with mid major? Think Miami a few years back. Play a slow down, grind it out physical game heavily focused on defense, where you can "hang with" most teams, but most teams will "hang with" you as well. They try to make the game as ugly as possible. Not good when it comes to winnning 6 games in a row.

Having said that, it may cause us problems, or we could blow them out. No chance we aren't at least in the game in the final few possessions.

I have not read any of the other pages just went to the last page to reply to the original title of this thread before it gets banned.

IMO the UC game is going to be the game that tells me if we have any shot of making or winning an NCAA tournament game this year. I say that because while we all hate UC you still have to give credit for how hard they play defense. On top of that ever since they lost Cronin it kinda looks like they are playing with a passion and intensity that is not seen very much kinda like they are playing for him. In order for Xavier to win that game they are going to have to show up with one level higher intensity than they had for the Georgetown game. It's going to take that kind of effort to go in there and win that game. If Xavier can do that then I would say the Freshman have officially grown up and that we have the mental toughness to make March interesting instead of a bust.

On a side note, I do believe Xavier is better offensively in almost every starting position that UC. UC just makes up so much ground with how hard they play defense. The intensity I refer to is obviously on the defensive end. Do I expect Xavier to only give up 16 points in a half? Of course not, but if they are getting on the ground for loose balls, boxing out and not giving up offensive boards, and not turning the ball over just like at Georgetown then we have a very good shot at coming out of there with the win.

I don't mean to pile on, but I always find it a little, just a little, hypocritical when a UC fan comes to a Xavier board and states that Xavier is obsessed with UC, or words to that effect.

But first thing is first lets win the next 5 conference games which is definitely doable get to 10-4 in the league then worry about UC. Kinda funny how we have become the biggest game on their schedule and they are just a blip on ours lol.

Yeah, and I'm the queen of Sweden.


Look guys, I really am an X fan and a college basketball fan in general (mainly BigEast). Just because I have 3 posts and prediceted a 19 point loss to a top 5 team in the nation on their home court does not make me a UC fan, a troll or even a Villanova fan. Just a realist. We have good shooters. UC has a great defense. UK has spectacular freshan. I just call it as I see it.

I'm sorry I was kinda a smart alec but I only did so after everybody jumped on my case about voicing my opinion regarding focusing on Seton Hall and not the Shootout.

[DoubleX]

No Victory Pkwy in Northern Ky. Just my hometown, where I grew up and graduatued high school.

[DoubleX]

But first thing is first lets win the next 5 conference games which is definitely doable get to 10-4 in the league then worry about UC. Kinda funny how we have become the biggest game on their schedule and they are just a blip on ours lol.

This is exactly what I was attempting to say!

I think we will be alright this year, our guards are better than theirs, and our bigs are better as long as Reynolds stays out of foul trouble. Also, we should have a lot of fans their since it's in Cincinnati. We need to play strong the whole game though or bad things could happen

[ArizonaXUGrad]

Really, it's the seniors job to get the team ready for what this game is. It's Dee's and Stain's job to get these guy in the right mindset to win on the road even though that road is 3.5 miles away from home.

Fact is, they have a top defense and we have a top offense and something will break. If we play like we did at Georgetown, don't turn the ball over, and play decent defense, we should win this game. If not, I am going to be grumpy for a while.

I am a UC supporter and figured that if you guys started a thread, I would enter into enemy territory and see what's happening because, frankly, I can't find much more to talk about with our upcoming game against ECU. First off, I am really excited for the game this year simply due to the new date. The past few years have been so lopsided, it seems, because one team had yet to find their rhythm. As it appears now, both teams should be hitting their stride around game time. Also, I wish everyone would give up the whole "little brother - big brother" mantra. UC was top dog for awhile and X came in and proved their worth. Well done, but the semantics game has grown tiresome by this point.

I admit, I haven't watched X play once this year. From what I understand, you all struggle a bit on the road? Given what I've been hearing about that, I'd be curious as to why some of you neglect the advantage 5/3rd might give us in this game. Other than that, i can really only speak on UC's behalf. The team this year is much different than last years squad. I think one poster mentioned the different players we will be featuring and he's completely right in that regard. However, he mentioned that Cash Wright, Jaqaon Parker, Cheik Mbodj were on the team last year, when, they simply weren't. Although, Parker is now an assistant coach. In terms of the holdovers who played a big role last year, only Caupain, Jermaine Sanders, and Shaq Thomas are still around.

Make no mistake though, UC plays incredible defense. While this has become expected under Cronin, they have stepped it up even more this year to compensate for the offensive production provided by our trio of Seniors last year. I'm pretty certain we are in the top 5 nationally for opponent's ppg. If you find that to be misleading, know that Kentucky and Virginia are 1 and 2, respectively. Offensively, we are still somewhat challenged. But i would not call us "horrific" by any means. The past few games our shooting has improved and we are really succeeding at providing a balanced attack. After Kilpatrick's dominance last year, it is oddly refreshing to have multiple players willing to take on the burden of putting up points. Nonetheless, I expect this to be a really good game. Good luck in the next few games.

Do xavier fans really worry about UC? They are not very good. They have like 10 wins against teams that couldn't beat Thomas More College. Not sure what sure what the obsession is. They would be like Creighton in the Big East this year but Creighton at least beat Nebraska. Who has UC beat? And don't throw out mediocre San Diego St at home and a bad NC State team. The only have way decent team they played, VCU at UC crushed them. I would be shocked if Xavier did not win by 10 plus. UC wAs much better last year.

You are hilarious. UC is not good? We haven't beaten anyone good? Is that why we have a top 25 RPI? 6 top 100 RPI wins? We got spanked by VCU yes, but that was because our players were probably still in a bit of a shock since an hour before tip off they found out that their head coach was hospitalized.

Today UC (KenPom 30) is awful.

But if we win it's a "big road win" that should propel us into the tournament and/or bolster our seed.

And if we lose it becomes an understandable road loss to a "Top 25" team.

You said it but I was thinking it lol.

[Thor in 204]

I recorded UC-UConn to get a sense of how UC is playing these days. What I see is a team that attacks the boards relentlessly and with strength and athleticism. They will be a challenge to block out. X has been improving in this, which is good. UC plays swarming defense. X cannot be lazy on offense. They will have to move the ball in order to get it into Stain or Jalen. Lazy passes will become turnovers.

UC moves the ball pretty well on offense, and their success has more to do with how well they shoot and how many second chances they get. We seem to bring out the best in our opponents' three point shooting when we are on the road. Can't let that happen at 5/3.

X, of course, has to hit from 3 at least a reasonable percentage, for all the obvious reasons. We've not been good at that on the road so far.

Then, how will the game be officiated?, UC drives into the paint a lot. There's potential for foul trouble early. If we become hamstrung in the paint because of fouls, and UC wins on the boards and shooting and free throws, it could be a lopsided loss for X.

I think X wins because they have been getting better maintaining intensity on the road. Keys will be keeping Stain and Jalen in the game, continuing to box out all the players, as we have been getting better at as well, and hitting a third of our threes. I think we can expect a very closely called game. Both teams are likely to not only want to win this game but need to win it for NCAA re'sume'. If in the next BE games we do well, I think we will do well against UC.

[Masterofreality]

Did you tape the SucKS/ East Carolina game?

ECU wins 50-46. The Borecats offense is truly lousy. The Borecats football team scored more points (54) against ECU than their basketball team did (46) against ECU.

East Carolina's RPI was 271 going into the game.

Glad you are getting all of your conference jokes in before UC gets into the Big 12(soon TBA). It's sad you have to fall back on the topic of conferences. As a matter of fact, last year the AAC had the most ranked teams out of any conference in the country. Glad to see Xavier having a fun time being an average team, at best, against the old scraps of the BE.

If you're going to some to this board and try to talk smack, you had better be ready to have some come back your way. The problem with you UC people is that you simply don't have brain power to get into a battle of wits with Xavier people.

No matter how many barbs you might cast at the Muskies, you cannot wipe away the stench of your defeat at the hands of ECU. Xavier has no loss of that magnitude. Last year was last year, just a short time away from having been league partners with the likes of Syracuse, Louisville, Pitt, WVU, Rutgers, Georgetown, Villanova, Marquette, et al. Even reigning NCAA Champ, UConn, has suffered the reality resulting from membership in such a relatively lowly Conference as the AAC. If they fail to find a better league soon, even Geno may have a tough time attracting top talented young women to his team.

I hope the Bearcats do find a new home in the Big 12, although being in a better Conference than Xavier hasn't stopped Xavier from dominating the rivalry with the Bearcats since we turned the program around in the late 70's/early 80's. Also, the driving force for that Conference, Texas football, seems quite happy with the current 10-team status since they don't need the cash that would accrue from a Conference football championship game. In addition, there has been some conjecture that the P-5 conferences will eventually waive the 12-team minimum for having a Conference Championship Game. That would certainly damage UC's chances at membership in the Big 12. Furthermore, as it stands now, they would divide any NCAA Basketball Tourney credits among only 10 members instead of the 12 they would have with Cincy and and whatever other new member would be selected. They and we have also found that a 10-team Conference makes for a wonderfully balanced 18-game H/A schedule with each member of their Conferences.

By the way, who have you heard will be UC's partner in joining the Big 12 and where are you getting your information? The rumor mill relating to Conference shuffling has been strangely quiet for well over a year now. Perhaps it is "the calm before the storm."

[sweet67]

Florida State won the national championship in football two years ago. Does that mean the ACC is a better football conference than the SEC?

Moron

Since the new Big East was formed, they have had Zero teams make the Sweet 16. Does that make it a good conference?

[Cincyforlife6]

I will never understand people signing up for a rival team's message board to boast about their team.

What exactly was mick saying when he said that Syracuse would win the a10? Clown.

What are you even talking about

[XU 87]

Since the new Big East and AAC were formed, how many basketball national titles does each conference have?

Also, how many NCAA tournament wins does each conference have?

The BE is ranked 2nd.

The American Conference is ranked 8th.

If you want to argue that you'd rather be playing the likes of ECU, Houston, CFU,et. al, rather than any of the teams in the BE, have at it.

We like our 2nd ranked conference. You guys are desperately trying to find a new conference so you don't sink into irrelevance. Personally, I hope you do find a new conference. It won't be much fun if in the future you guys suck every year in football and basketball.

I agree we would suck in football, we might not even be able to beat XU's football team :biggrin:

[Titanxman04]

I don't think anyone can argue that the Big East isn't a better conference this year than the AAC. I don't think you can argue UC losing to an ECU squad isn't exactly something to defend. X has had some crappy losses too though.

In my relatively short experience rooting for X in this rivalry, conference affiliation doesn't seem to have much hold over this battle.

It's a good offensive/bad defensive team vs a bad offensive/good defensive team. It will be a battle of toughness and who out-rebounds who. X cannot afford to have their offense abandon them at UC. UC cannot afford to be out-toughed by X.

I love watching us beat the crap out of UC, no doubt about that. But in the end, X needs to show up. We don't have much room to talk until we prove it more than once on the road.

Of course, all that said, I feel obligated to say that UC sucks.

This board is hilarious. When UC was in the Big East, this board would constantly go on and on about how the Big Least was overrated and how Seton Hall, DePaul, Providence, St. Johns were "bottom feeders" and how bad they sucked.

AAC= 1 national title

I am willing to bet the Big East in its current form will never win a national title.

I am failing to comprehend as to why UConn's exploits last year affect the quality of the UC team this year. Nor how it affects a much better Big East this year?

Does anyone on this board actually think that conference affiliation matters in this game? Has it ever?

It doesn't. But I think you're the only one who has been limiting his comments to this year. Everyone else seems to be debating overall program and conference strength.

Ah, the rivalry. Gotta love it.

We didn't have millions of taxpayer dollars per year to subsidize our football program like you do. Your football program loses millions of dollars per year, and has done so for years and years. The reason for that is because your student body of 30,000 plus and your alumni base of over 100,000 within a few hours from Cincinnati don't go to your football games enough. As a result of the non-support of your students and alumni, I have to support your crummy program through my tax dollars.

So maybe you should show a little gratitude.

And I forgot to note that USF and their RPI of 217 is also in your crummy league. My apologies for leaving them out.

No here's what is a joke. The fact that even though you had St. BeelzeBob as your coach, Little Xavier, with 1/8 of the enrollment and no where near as much public money, has dominated The Borecats' sorry asses on the court. 17-13 in the last 30 years. In fact in no 5 year incrementsince 1985 has SucKS won more games. Even your former DUI convicted, vomit covered Coach didn't have a winning record against Xavier.

And before you go all "National Championship" here, Loyola Chicago won a more recent National Championshio than the Borecats. Talk about irrelevant.

And irrelevant is what you are becoming, despite your "upgrade" to that mammoth 40,000 ( maybe) seat football stadium. Enjoy life in the netherworld of college sports.

Maurice Brantley and Andre Smith are currently in jail for murder. That is far worse than anything Huggins did.

What program in the Big Least is anywhere near UConn's?

[Cincyforlife6]

I'm glad you guys think your conference is so good, the scraps of the old and original BE. Since you believe these teams are so good and UC sucks, lets take a look at the last time UC played these great teams while Uc was in the same conference with them.

Vs. Nova: 68-50 W
Vs. Georgetown: 72-70 W
Vs. Providence: 61-44 W
@ Seton Hall: 65-59 W
@DePaul: 75-70 W
Vs: St Johns: 53-52 L (Harrison hit a half court GW)
Vs: Marquette (With our leading scorer out) 71-69 W
6-1

[LA Muskie]

Providence, Seton Hall, and St. John's all have had potential but they were overmatched in the "old" Big East. DePaul has mostly been a bottom feeder, and probably will remain one (this year's wins notwithstanding).

Andre Smith and Naurice Brantley had left Xavier long before that happened.

And you really don't want to go into an argument about crimes while an actual enrollee- notice I didn't say "student" (Charles Williams academic fraud probation)- at SucKS do you now? (Eugene Land, Charles Little, etc).

[XU 87]

I'm glad you brought this up, because therein lies the difference between the two programs. Maurice Brantley was a starter who was kicked off the team for poor behavior. No NCAA violations or anything like that. Just bad behavior. there was NO WAY Huggins would have done the same. The same is true for Andre Smith. I don't take responsibility for ex-players who were expelled who 10-15 years later committed a crime. but when X had a problem player, X did something about it. When UC had a problem player, you changed the rules, made excuses, or just turned the other way.

At UC, your AD made the famous quote, "If he can get the felony charge reduced to a misdemeanor then he will be welcomed back to the team."

Even after Little was kicked off the team for the kidnapping and felonious assault incident, Huggins tried to bring him back. True story.

Your program was such a sewer, and such a drain on your university's reputation, that your president fired a successful court (well, successful on the court).

We have a record of every senior graduating going back to around 1984. So please don't try compare that cesspool program Huggins ran to ours. That's a losing argument every time.

[XU 87]

Do you think Providence, Seton Hall, St. Johns, and DePaul are good programs? Or are they bottom feeders?

I will answer your question right after you answer mine.

What has Mick Cronin not accomplished that EVERY permanent coach prior to him accomplish going back to Catlett?

Would you rather be playing UCF, USF, Houston, and ECU (lot of directional teams in there) or DePaul, St. Johns, Seton Hall or Providence?

I can tell this should be fully and amicably resolved in the next 2 or 3 posts (or weeks, or decades). I wish we could fast forward to this game! Anything could happen here. I remember being thrilled to knock off #1. I don't recall ever being #1. With that said, we battle in a tougher conference and the rest is all history. The only thing that counts now is this year.

Once again, you are too dense to understand what I was saying. It's what you do with the players once they get there. Xavier = graduate. UC = commit crimes and then hope the felony is reduced to a misdemeanor so said player can play next year.

If you want to keep defending the sewer that was over at UC, a sewer that you and your ilk readily supported year after year, go right ahead. I always love arguing when I have the facts (and the law) on my side.

Tu Holloway for starting a brawl. Watching his teammates get beat up. Then being too scared to join the fight himself. Then going to a podium to talk about how tough he is despite the fact that he was too scared to join the very fight he started. That is the biggest crime of them all. Well, except for the murders.

Well now you're getting desperate. I already addressed Smith and Brantley. Price, also a starter was kicked off the team for academic reasons, even though he qualified by NCAA standards. And you want to compare a 21 year old getting a DUI to the drug dealers, kidnappers, girl friend beaters, mother beaters, and all the other thugs that attended your fine university? Really?

To this day, my favorite was the UC player who dropped his loaded pistol on campus while walking to class and it discharged. And he was one of your nicer players. I always suspected that he had the loaded pistol to protect himself from his teammates.

Why did Eugene Land jump out of second story window?

I miss Huggins. I really do. The off season was always so much fun when he was here.

Seriously though- shame on you for putting up with all that BS and supporting huggins and then not supporting your president when she got rid of him. Are you running a school or a basketball team over there?

and something tells me I'm talking to Eastside Jay.

Want to talk about Aptly named Corey Blount?

[chico]

Drew Lavendar/Jordan Crawford.

Also, why do you take so many players that couldnt qualify at other schools?

Graduating every senior since 1984 is a little more than suspicious. Many of those kids struggled in high school (some even having to go the prep school route), how on earth did every single one of them leave with a Xavier degree.

You really want to bring up academics? Really?

It's just a damn shame that we can't attract a better class of UC troll. We get the fourth string trolls.

[sweet67]

Want to talk about Aptly named Corey Blount?

Dont know Corey.

I do know Corie Blount. Long NBA career. Made over 14 million during his playing days.

You ever made 14 million?

[Titanxman04]

Just saw on Twitter that UConn just lost to Houston.

Now that is pretty damn funny!

I will answer your question right after you answer mine.

What has Mick Cronin not accomplished that EVERY permanent coach prior to him accomplish going back to Catlett?

Would you rather be playing UCF, USF, Houston, and ECU (lot of directional teams in there) or DePaul, St. Johns, Seton Hall or Providence?

I'm not going to get an answer. Mick Cronin is the first permanent head coach since Tay Baker not to put the basketball team on probation. Catlett, Badger, Yates, and Huggins- all of them got the team on probation for serious NCAA violations. quite a record you got there.

[Masterofreality]

Blount is now a convicted drug dealer and has served time. Don't know if he's out of jail or not. I do know that if I possibly had made 14 million, I wouldn't feel the need to be a dope dealer. He must have invested that money very wisely- in line with that pseudo "edumacation" that he received at that school in Clifton.

You are taking shots at Corie for drugs.
He's taking shots at you for being poor.

Advantage Corie.

No I'm taking shots at Blount for being a stupid criminal, which I am not. I would also guess that "Corie" probably has less money put away than I do at this point after his sterling post basketball career.

Come with much better responses, Weak Take Jake.

Uh, no. for one, I don't think MOR is poor. Second, Corie is a broke convicted drug dealer.

Is the best you can come up with? Defending a broke convicted drug dealer? You're embarrassing yourself. Although you really put MOR in his place when his misspelled Blount's first name.

Is this Eastside Jay?

Nah, Corie is doing just fine.

You are poor compared to him. 14.4 million is a lot.

Trivia for you....

Who was the last current Big East team to win a national title and what year?

[sweet67]

Just saw on Twitter that UConn just lost to Houston.

Interesting...Houston.

Another school with more history, more final fours, and better players than Xavier.

[Masterofreality]

Interesting...Houston.

Another school with more history, more final fours, and better players than Xavier.

And a school with a current RPI of 254. Dookane and Fordham are higher than that.

[Xavier]

Said it once I'll say it again. Mick Cronin and UC absolutely loves this rivalry. Being able to play a Big East team once a year can only help recruiting.

[sweet67]

And a school with a current RPI of 254. Dookane and Fordham are higher than that.

Unlike Dookane and Xavier.....Houston has done more than just watch the Final Four on TV.

Fordham too has made a final four but i'm not sure it was on TV or if TVs existed. So i'll hold off judgement there.

[Masterofreality]

Nah, Corie is doing just fine.
.

Please define "just fine". 3 squares a day and a roof over his cell?

[sweet67]

Said it once I'll say it again. Mick Cronin and UC absolutely loves this rivalry. Being able to play a Big East team once a year can only help recruiting.

Playing the AAC...home of the defending national champion probably helps more.

But that's not to discount those 2 NCAA first round wins the Big East had last year. That was impressive.

[sweet67]

"Just Fine"

Definition: More money than MASTEROFREALITY

hope that clears it up.

Villanova over Georgetown 1985

I'm sure you knew the answer to my question. You are still gutless.Jay.

Maybe they can stop playing altogether and just revel in the days of yore. Oh wait. That's basically what they're doing.

Good to know we finally have a "line" for how far back that shit matters.

Hilarious, I still remember Eastside acting like a Xavier fan on MM. Still have a mullet haircut?

Good times.
