He was terrible on defense, couldn’t hold on to a rebound, missed his FT as usual and threw up a few terrible shots. He basically regressed all the way back to how he played as a sub the last two seasons and not the solid starter he had been this season.

He's not much of a free throw shooter, for sure.  But he got fouled at least a half a dozen times and none were called(twice on one play alone) and got the worst technical ever called called on him.  That shit gets in your head.

If Houston is allowed to beat the hell out of our players and do shit  like go up for a shot and come down with the ball with no call, and go on and score at a critical time, it has an effect.

Two points on the horseshit technical, two points for the correct call that shithead Higgins overturned, the one where he was fifty feet away with no angle on the play and the ref who made the right call was two feet away, two points on the travel not called--that's six points in a seven point loss right there, and that's not even counting all the times UC players were fouled with no call...

Point is, Houston didn't earn that win, they had it handed to them.  I'm not denying Cronin's shortcomings.  They are pretty obvious.  But let's call a spade a spade.  That was a travesty.  If that game is called even close to right, UC is probably leading down the stretch and that changes everything.
