XU v. UC: Great Defense = Win

[muskieindent]

Based on his post game Saturday,he knows this isn't just another game.He wants it so Kenyon and Danny Fortson don't call him up to give it to him hell for losing to X

[xufan2434]

The players who have played in this game describes how intense and hard fought it is. So if Mick wants to tell his team, "This is just another game.", I say in response, "Keep saying that, Mick. Don't prepare your team for a game that is this intense."

Personally, I think it REALLY bothers him that X keeps winning and that X has had the better program while he's been at UC. If he's not bothered by this, there's something wrong with him.

Oh it for sure bothers him. It's why he's always lashing out every time this game comes up. If X somehow pulls out a win I think he really might explode and lose it. Like to the point where it becomes an issue. I'm not expecting X to win, but to see that little man throw a sore loser temper tantrum would be epic

X still ranked
Top 25 Crosstown shoootout. I think I read only for the 3rd time ever.

X is 2-0 in such meetings.

[paulxu]

there's something wrong with him.

uhhh....yea.

[THRILLHOUSE]

X is 2-0 in such meetings.

Last season and 1994, right?

[kyxu]

Last season and 1994, right?

Correct

[Xavier]

I want X to win so I can listen to Mick whine and complain in his post games press conference.

Agreed. Love to hate that guy. Also, I hope he stays the coach for another 10 years. Xavier will always have the coaching edge over him

[THRILLHOUSE]

Agreed. Love to hate that guy.

Yeah. I don't really have any problems with any of their players. But Cronin? Yeah, I'll forever loathe him.

From the UC message board: Entertaining posters over there haha...

My opinion: We set hard screens on him and like I said earlier, foul him hard at the basket if we get beat. Use his injury against him

Sounds like we need to force him to drive in the direction of his injury so he has to try to finish on that side and we can make sure to foul him hard if it looks like he's gonna score.

Entertaining? It's the truth, whether opposing teams want to admit it or not.

Then again, wasn't Cronin complaining that Butler was also too physical for them and that they'd never get away with it in the American since they call games tighter? Using that logic, you'd think that fouls would be called if an opposing player so much as breathes in another player's ear.
