There is no case that could be stated. There is no excuse. This was a complete embarrassment for our university.

Embarrassing to the program. MA needs to be shown the door.

What exactly has he accomplished since being hired...2nd round losses in the NCAA? No conference titles...no conference tourney titles...no NCAA games past the second round and one Big underwhelming season with another loaded roster.

Didn't shoot well, not sure how that's Mike's fault.

No one is going to converse with you about MA because you're incapable.

Meh, we just have some low functioning individuals that blame Mike for every loss and credit the players after every win. Still haven't had one person explain how shooting 36% is somehow Mike's fault. Did Mike tell Gafford to shoot 4 foot fadeaways? Did he tell Barford and Macon to miss open threes?

I could understand the hate if some of his actual coaching decisions could be blamed for the loss, but that didn't happen today. We shot well below our average. That's not on Mike, the players have to execute and they didn't today.

You do realize we were on pace to give up 160 points after the first 5 minutes of the game, right? Keep talking about offense though. Your basketball knowledge really shines through in these moments.


And shooting low % is usually what happens when your offense does nothing but shoot in traffic and dribble the ball at the top of the key for 12 seconds.


But I'm sure you already knew that.

And as happens more often than not, the opponent shot well above theirs. When that happens on a consistent basis, as it does with Arkansas, coaching is a problem.

How many times was Trey Thompson’s fat arse getting blown past by their guards because Arkansas switches every damn screen.

How many times did they end up with wide open threes because they baited us into stupid traps.

Please tell me how the team coming out completely unprepared and flat is not the coach's fault. I'm dying to hear this.

Stone, At some point it falls in the coach. In my eyes it’s inconsistency. We can be world beaters one day and get blown out the next. With 3 Sr guards that shouldn’t be the case.

That comes down to two things coaching and recruiting. I don’t think any player is in charge of that.

Why do we even need a coach then. Wouldn't that be arguing without Anderson we would have performed better?

That's the point. Wouldn't change the way we played much if we didn't have one. Want to know what our offense is? High ball screens and iso. We do that at the park every weekend.
