Bammer at home and then on the road at Mizzou...good chance to get to 6-6 in the SEC
Can the bull. We suck. Period. You wanted Stans gone and he is. Don't try to sugarcoat this disaster.
Definetely winnable games. I think we bounce back tues night
What bull? We can certainly win these 2 games this week. I'll be surprised if we dont. Watching Bama struggle at LSU right now on TV- ya know, the team we beat last Saturday?Quote:

Hard to understand why everyone doesn't press us but some of them don't have the depth to do it. I almost got caught up in the euphoria for a couple of games but we returned to what we had seen all year. God forbid once these Seniors next year graduate, it is going to be awful.

we knew what to do- we just arent good enough to do it. Ray didnt coach Ready to try to split a double team on the press and then continue on and try to beat a 3rd man without passing the ball. I promise you that wasnt taught at all. We're not that good and games like today will be tough on us. But as I said- dont be surprised if we win both this week.Quote:

Zuppardo and Black will be solid in the front court...still have Ready plus Tookie-Monster...Houston will have developed some...plus some other talented recruits...we'll be ok
And they're conveniently "misremembering" their hero Stands got his ass blown out up there a bunch of times with vastly superior teams.Quote:

And yeah we played like shit today ..
But Out of the last 3 games if you had said we would have gone 2-1 everyone would have taken that.
Have to at least go 1-1 before we play 3 in a row at home.
So if you can make it.. Suck it up .. Put away your autographed Rick Stansbury poster and get to the Hump Wednesday...
One the very few times would I agree with you on basketball ,but we should win these 2 . We are looking like a team so yea we got beat by 20 ,but Stansbury's teams took beatings like that during his time here. So what let some our older guys start working on Mr. Newman's sholly offer that would be better than bitching about Ray. He here one more year whether we like it or not.Quote:

Juco guy, right? How likely are we to sign him?Quote:

Your double standard is getting old.Quote:

Did you really just try to equate Pitino to Ray?Quote:

Fact remains we are still years away, whether it's Ray or the next guy or the next. Self inflicted wounds are always ugly. FYI: my take on Ray has remained constant. If he doesn't finish at.500 or better this year he needs to go.Quote:

As I told another poster in a PM- if we dont handle business Tuesday- pile on all you want. But the team has been playing better and showing signs of life. Nobody is happy about today and we expect better Tuesday. I think we'll get it.
Are you saying Ray has the same track record as Pitino?Quote:

That is far from the objective but I do recognize the handicaps Ray was working under. But going sub .500 overall for thee straight years in the SEC is totally unacceptable. I think everyone would agree with that.Quote:

1) Just because people are pissed at our shittiness, or think it's time for Ray to go, does not make them "University of Stans Fans!1!1!!". They may very well be glad Stans is gone AND be tired of seeing the current shittiness.
And...
2) If anyone on this board ever tries to compare Rick Ray to Rick Pitino again, they should be banned or ban themselves, because that is the dumbest shit I've ever read on this board.
Not only is it overall the dumbest thing ever because Pitino has proven to be a bad ass legendary coach and Ray has proven nothing....It's also the dumbest thing ever because Louisville was in a match up with a Top 5 team in a heavyweight match up. To compare a Louisville team coached by Pitino scoring 13 in a half vs Top 5 Virginia, to a MSU team coached by Rick "nobody knows me" Ray scoring 9 points in a half against an average (or slightly above) Arkansas team, is the definition of ignorant.
I thought we'd get smashed tonight bc it's hard to win there, so I don't let it totally ruin the LSU and Tenn wins....and yes, I wanted Stans gone....I am only posting in this thread because point #1 is tiresome, and point #2 is pure damn stupid.
Carry on
Not at all. All I was implying is that if a terrible half can happen to one of the best coaches ever with an outstanding team surely we shouldn't fire a coach that's nowhere near pitino with a much less talented roster for a terrible half.Quote:

You are really gonna run smack after all the flip flopping you've already done in a record amount of time?
I'm confused by who expected us to win in Bud Walton?

I wasn't talking shit about Ray. I was a talking shit about your ability to evaluate basketball talent.
This is just made up BSQuote:

I have a friend who talks to top high school coaches and some college asst coaches - they cannot believe some of the players that we have signed. I would name them, but I would have to go look them up (don't even know if I would get their names right). People are watching their kids play soccer, hunting, golfing, etc - not going or watching State basketball any more. Here is a typical conversation when I see a big State fan now - great football season, good football recruiting, looking forward to baseball, and don't keep up with men's basketball at all any more (even though I use to love it). That is where we are.Quote:

No we don't. Teams that suck don't beat NCAA Tournament teams like LSU and don't go on the road and beat NCAA bubble teams like Tennessee.Quote:
