Lose to South Carolina 1st round and we may not be NIT
And Stansbury is still the same coach getting his ass waxed by MTSU securing his new team a spot in NIT as well. We took a shot on trying to improve our program after 14 years of watching Stansbury fail time and again to even get back to his peak year of 2004 when he got raped by Xavier in the 2nd round. You got a better strategy than just letting the same guy never be able to get us above a bubble team every year? All ears? Tell us your brilliant strategy to improve our program than.Quote:

We might only go to the NIT this year but our team isn't full of trash players running the program and out of control.
I'm glad Stans has a HC job again and good luck to him, but as pointed out.. he's just proving what we all knew. Good coach only.
Let it f*cking DIE already, now. take your ass kickings and enjoy how dumb you look
You want to compare Stans last 6 years vs the past 6 years.Quote:

Because our former dick head of an AD hired a shit ass coach in Rick Ray and let that sinkhole of a coach bury our program for three years. In Howland’s third year, we are 21-10 and in prime NIT position which imo is where everyone who didn’t have way out there expectations thought we should be. Next year, we will definitely be in the NCAA tournament with the talent and experience our team will have and I foresee we will have a run of tourney runs with the way Howland is recruiting.Quote:

I am most disappointed in Peters right now. He just settled for disappearing into the shadows the last two games when we needed him to be his best. We don't have any leaders on this team when we have to ask Nick and Ado to be those guys.Quote:

We may not even play SC in the first round. No we are in the NIT.Quote:

I did not get to see the game today, listened on radio.
It sounded like we had low energy and were lazy. Listening to cbh on postgame, his comments seemed to say the same. Horrible screening, not going to rim, not getting ball inside, no free throw attempts from ado, Holman, x, or datcher and only one blocked shot by LSU. Tells me we were settling for a lot of jump shots. Again,lazy.
Not unexpected after Tuesday. But CBH has to be able to get us back up and he did not. CBH seems very positive and hand-holding. It?s okay to get in the face of our guys and challenge them. That?s my biggest fear with CBH long term.
We are not in the same place at all. We are no longer known as a team full of druggies or called “the most dysfunctional team in America”Quote:

Yes, we haven't made it yet but we had a pretty deep hole to dig out of after Ray and that's on nobody but Stricklin for taking a chance on a guy who clearly wasn't ready.

I think this board is a better fit for you
If they don't give any more effort than this, even OM or Vandy can send us home.Quote:

You can't act like Stans had no part in the death of our basketball program. This was (at the time) probably the worst job in the SEC, because of him. A total dumpster fire, and it wasn't going to get any better under him.
Anyone that thinks we should trade Stansbury for Howland right now is delusional. I don?t like the last two games but I?m excited for the future of our program.
Maybe. Another 20 point loss, and I can see South Carolina taking our spot. If South Carolina holds on vs auburn, their rpi will be better than oursQuote:

I think we should have hired Kermit Davis myself, and i believe we would be much farther along.Quote:

I'd take the freshman basketball coach at you pick it high school in Dallas, Texas over Ray.Quote:
