Didn't Marq need a buzzer beater to win? Maybe I don't understand "easy?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see how it plays out. Next year Mac needs to bring in a couple of good big men who can make an immediate impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen, I cannot stand these antiMac arguments because they are redundant. However, what some coach says about the program is just being nice. Last night Calipari said UCf was on their way to being great...do you honestly believe that they are the next great CUSA basketball power? Sure, sometimes there is coachspeak. Crean's comments were not.  His comments were out of admiration for what Mac has done after barely escaping with a win.  And they were unsolicited.What's more important to me anyway is what I see rather than what some coach says.  Crean simply confirmed my observations.Exactly.Everyone keeps saying mac won't be here next year. If we get a few more wins... its guaranteed he is here next year. We won't be buying out his contract if Doug thinks Mac is in process of righting the ship. Write it down.

Any margin over 16 is a blowout, really...no way to sugarcoat it, in my opinion."Easy" is one way to describe those wins by the opposition.
