Don’t judge people bc you don’t know anything bout people. Yes we have some excellent wins, but 17 wins is not getting in at this point. That’s all I said and stick by it . Said 3 or 4 games ago that the stretch finish of our schedule was as tough as anybody’s and we could possibly not get many wins out of it

Better than the alternative, dumbass. Telling people they are a bunch of idiot football fans who don't "get it" after a performance like that may not be the best strategy.

No doubt it's a tough stretch , that's not debatable. This team is so 3-1 on neutral floors, last time I checked nobody really has a home court advantage in the NCAA tournament.

It's a team actually built for modern basketball too. They spread the floor so well that they can easily attack the basket. Our team can't spread the floor at all.


The best thing that Pearl does, IMHO, is instills fearlessness in his guys. That can be trouble when they are raw and inexperienced, because guys do stupid things, but once guys get experience (and are the right guys) it is a ton of fun to watch them play. This team of theirs is gutty as shite and fears nothing.

Hopefully ours figure out how to channel that same sort of thing next year with a year under their belt.

That was a complete embarrassment. Thank god I didn't actually pay for the tickets I got to the game. I'm so tired watching some of our guys play.

Probably not, but this Auburn team was a worse version of us last year. Up and down up and down.

It happens, and that's why I was totally prepared for 2 losses in these 2 road games. Losses like Saturday where we compete and come up short.

Tonight's loss, the way it happened, was just totally unacceptable at this point in the season.

Ah yes. Those great wins against Memphis, BYU, and Mercer. Unfortunately lost to that great Minnesota team.

My frustration gets more channeled towards the fire Avery , nit nit bullshite. I know that doesn't include everyone. If somehow Avery got canned after next year we can forget about Lewis and Watford. Some need to be careful when they want Avery gone.

You can't keep a coach around because of one or two recruits. The program is bigger than one or two teenagers.

That's probably my 2nd biggest frustration behind Avery's up and down coaching performances.

At this point, does it matter if we get Lewis and Watford? Is anyone excited to possibly be on the bubble again next year?

Yeah Washington is much better having fired their coach even though it cost them the Porters. If Avery doesn't make a tournament this year or next year, he'd have to go.
