rooting for the Hogs to lose
You're a certified retard if you think I would root against the Hogs in anything. If anything, I would think my clamoring for better performances makes me a better fan than you. Better than being happy with lil ole Arkiesaw being exciting against mediocre teams then getting dickslapped by real contenders.

Ugly wins are better than pretty losses. We will be very familiar of both with Anderson. Glad we won though.

No, you're not a better fan for whining after a win. Pat Adams and crew tried to frick us again and wouldn't allow us to even play defense. We still won. Stop being a bitch.

frick face... go look at our last great team and see how many blow-out road losses we had. See how many times we had close or semi-close games with teams not nearly as good as us.

That was in 95, when mid-majors didn't make final 4 runs

It's different now, yet still the same

There's a reason that the games are played and the tournament is still a crapshoot

Remember how we should have lost to Syracuse in the second round in 95, yet still made the finals?

Now show me the game in 95 where we lost by 21 at home to an NIT team?

We got the shite kicked out of at home to an over-rated Bama team that lost to every good team that they played except us (we beat them twice). That Bama team ended up as a 5 seed in the tourney that barely beat the 12 seed and lost bad to the 4 seed in the second round.

Also lost to a TERRIBLE Ole Miss team on the road... "killed our RPI"

See how you have to look at a loss vs a 5 seed for any kind of talking point in this discussion? Weird isn't it? Because we didn't fricking lose to NIT teams at home.

Drew just doesn't have a very good grasp on present day college basketball, he thinks good teams still go 30-0.

Nice strawman. Not getting blown out/struggling with NIT teams at home = going 30-0.


Solid mental gymnastics.

Welcome to college basketball in 2018, that is VERY common. Again, you just have no grasp on it.

That 95 Bama team would be a bubble these days

Keep deflecting.

It's not a deflection if it's true. We literally mirror Bucknell under Mike and most people are cool with it. I actually remember when we were good.

It is deflecting, don't say something then run away from it when you get called on it.

Go look at the current top 25 and let me know how many have losses to NIT teams..it will be over half of them.

Kansas lost to Washington at home.

Duke lost to Boston College.

North Carolina lost to WOFFORD at home.

Florida lost to Loyola-Chicago at home.

Again, this is basketball in 2018. It has the most parity of any sport. You just don't have a good grasp of that at all.

This is WAY more than just one loss. We haven't played a solid game of basketball in a month. We're 4-4 since Tennessee and could VERY easily be 1-7. People being happy about how our team has performed lately is absolutely baffling to me.


Just looked it up. We're 10 points away from going 0-8 since Tenner. We're playing like shite and it's not improving.

So what? We have 6 total losses.

Who cares if a couple are bad? Every team in the country loses a few they shouldn't as I pointed out above that is normal.

All that matters is they improve and head into the postseason just like last year winning 6 of 7 and making the SEC title game. They started 1-3 last year losing to Miss State at home, then won 4 in a row, sound familiar? They are literally following last years model almost exactly.
