These guys really are a blast to watch. It's been a fun season, full of ups and downs, but I love how these guys have responded every time we face adversity (first two games, halftime of ND, last second buzzer beater loss to Clemson). We're seeing great leadership/coaching and a team that has...

That was a great comeback win. Really impressed with the play from our backcourt. They knocked down shots, distributed the ball well, crashed down on defense. And we pulled out the W even with the big rebound deficit. If we can clean up our FT shooting, that game isn't close. Hoping for more of...

LOL where is he going to go? Maybe that situation was different. Either way, I don't think we should expect him to walk away from the buyout.

Where can we find the postgame press conference?

Re-read the posts. I’m not sure if you’re trying to refer to me, but I literally said it’s way too early to pass judgement on this season, and I still back this team 100%. I think there’s a lot of potential. But clearly we have a lot of work to do. And by the way, we should not fear playing...

Are you joking? Jose and Moses basically carried the team to 4OTs. Without those two it would’ve been over in regulation. Not sure how you got the idea that Jose plays like “someone owes them something.”

Competitive - yes, I don’t think anybody expected an easy game. But the point remains that it is one game we may wish we had back come Selection Sunday. At some point you have to win these kinds of games to make the tourney. That’s just the reality of the situation, and we’ve struggled with the...

Agreed. It’s a fine game to schedule. You just gotta win it so it becomes a pseudo-quality win instead of a disappointment

You’re probably right. Look, I don’t think he’s going anywhere after this year either. And hopefully he does well, we make the tourney, and it’s not even an issue. But my point is that slushfund or not, it would still be possible for a group of mega-donors to make donations that would provide...

I’ll preface this comment by saying that I am not giving up on this year’s team yet. I watched the whole game, and last night was very disappointing, largely because we showed a lack of depth and motion on offense. Way too much isolation basketball, with our guards often dribbling into trouble...

Exactly. But we're also getting sidetracked here gentlemen. The point is Tennessee went out and made it a point to land one of the best coaches on the market in order to bring their program back to where it once was. We have to be willing to do the same thing. And Beilein is currently one of...

He would be arguably the best coach on the market based on pedigree (if you exclude Pitino), so yeah it would be a home run. This goes back to the idea I mentioned in an earlier post that "if the right guy is out there, we have to be aggressive" with regards to selling GT Bball and making a...

The poor ref’ing and foul calling disparity definitely gave them a boost. But we got outplayed in the second half. Poor offensive rhythm. Lots of turnovers. Bottom line, they adjusted and played well down the stretch, we faded. The most frustrating part to me is that we were dominating them in...

If we really are making a plan to wait and change coaches after next year, why dish out more money on new assistants for a lame duck season? I get the idea - we obviously want to win as much as possible regardless of who the head coach is, but to me, it seems like we either ride it out and save...

We match up well with them, and lately we've been dominating on the glass. As others said, limit the TO's, get to the FT line (and stay out of foul trouble) and we should be good today. Would love to see us get off to a fast start and bury them like we did Vatech. Feels like we need to sweep...

Agreed. It is pretty ridiculous that some posters get a pass and can say whatever they want (eg call people who disagree with them miserable SOBs, etc) while other people don't. Let's just stick to sports gents

Let's not get too greedy lol In all seriousness, I think that's what we expected to see the entire year: Good offensive efficiency with improved shooting and a stifling defense. Aside from going 10/21 from the FT line that was a complete game from our guys. They continue to play hard and...

This is pretty similar to my take on it. I agree, I think the biggest issue is probably the looming NCAA sanctions rather than the extra 2-2.5M we could save by hanging onto Pastner for one more year. There’s never going to be a perfect time financially to move on (even waiting until the end of...

All valid points. To elaborate, on a few of my comments - when I said recruiting and tied in national perception, I was also thinking about how high school players view our program and how this impacts our ability to bring in high quality talent. Easier to bring players into the fold when they...

Haha your guess is as good as mine
