Yes it’s our coaches fault Villanova cannot miss from beyond the arc. Fire them all.

We need to show some pride here. We aren't gonna win, but let's not get completely embarrassed.

Everyone else returns plus we add Tevin Mack. We will be fine next year. I hope Key leaves and we replace him with a GradTransfer shooter.

Ingram and Key would struggle to get minutes for then.

I get they are the 1 seed but we are getting squashed. Just sucks.

We absolutely shut Bridges, Brunson and Spellman in the 1st half. 2nd half starts and Bridges scores 16 in the first 5 minutes.

And this is why Villanova is such a good team. One guy torches us in the first half, and a different guy does in the second half.

Think we can if we get good guard play

Sexton was by far our best guard and we ended up with a 9 seed. Unless Mack is much better than I expect, I see us having trouble.

Understand the sentiment and not 100% certain you are not correct.

I have been anti-avery. However, I have to think Avery is a smart man and that he now realizes that athleticism is great but college requires a better plan/system on offense. We cant count on individual play...even on inbounds plays.

Next year will be interesting too see if the team improves on the offensive end for me.

This is what I knew would happen when we got paired with Villanova. I’d rather play any team in the tournament but them.

Gotta recruit smarter players. Key, Ingram, Petty, Smith, Giddens are just low basketball IQ players. Thats fine if you have a few of those that just can be great athletes and make plays but you need smart players on the court.

Gotta go recruit some guys that know what they are doing.
