Yep I concur.

Not landing a true point guard in last years class killed us in recruiting. We took a flyer on a combo guard in Molinar (who Howland has played minimal minutes) and a shooting guard in Devin Butts (who I guess we are redshirting). We recruited a guy who could have given us great minutes at both the 3 and 4 in King (who once again we aren?t playing and I guess he will redshirt) and then we took a guy in Post who could play the 4 and 5 at 7?1? (who I guess is also redshirting). Howland ****ed up our recruiting class last year, didn?t develop any depth at all, and is going with a 7 but really 6 man rotation. We have a bad ass point guard coming in next year but it might be one year too late as I don?t think he?s going to have anyone to pass to when Perry and possibly others leave. Who the hell knows.
The good thing is nobody was really emotionally invested in this team. At least I wasnt.
I do think tonight is a huge red flag for Howland but the womens team and baseball probably keeps the majority of the real heat off of him
Right now he?s just collecting a $2 million+ check. He?s not a good coach anymore and he?s roster management where he?s basically redshirting 80% of our freshman class really tells you all you need to know. This team is a lot more talented then 15-9. It?s a pathetic coaching job and really most to all of the blame goes to him.
I'm as down on Howland as anyone but if you are trying to push Ray up to Howland, try something else. Did Rick Ray bring in any talent? Did he play any post season games? Howland got us out of the pit but this is as far as he is capable. Need someone else to take the next step.
I wish we would?ve hired someone like Frank Martin. He might not be a great recruiter but he steps out on the court every night with a talent disadvantage and manages to win a lot of games
Dude -you get out of the bed embarrassed, The 96 team shit the bed a couple of times before going o the final 4. On a road game in the SEC anyone can get embarrassed. We had a bad stretch and their best player got in a zone. Shit-we won the first half. i'm mad because Ben-used up all his timeouts--I'm mad because Ben took Perry and ADO out in the first half and let Ole Miss make a charge. I'm mad because Ben refuses to play a zone. Ben should have let Molinar play instead of Nick. Nick was just off--but he has played great for about 7 games in a row. Cheer up-Dude we will beat Arkansas.
losing a hard fought close game is one thing, to get run out of the arena by ole miss is disgraceful. No pride or love of the colors you wear.
On the bright side, we'll have way more 4 and 5 star players than anyone else in the NIT. Did anyone catch a glimpse of their baseball field and was it flooded? consolation prize or something?
