If Mike Anderson doesn’t make it to the Sweet 16, will it be considered a failure

I see your troll but I don’t know that it’s effective anymore since we now put the blame on the players not the coaches.

I saw Henderson make a decent play recently, don’t even remember what it was now could have been a rebound in that last lopsided win. Anyway, I thought of you when I saw it. God help me.

I may need therapy

no. he just has to get us into the tournament. he would surprise most here with that from their preseason predictions.

That said if this young talent proves to be as good as they seem, that expectation might go up once we hit conference play

gotcha so if he keeps us better than you expected you'll move those goal posts so we underachieve.

No? What I personally expected coming into the season and what I expect the program to produce are two different things. There was no way of knowing what our base level of play would be with all of these freshmen we've never seen play before. Obviously if you find out you have more firepower than you thought coming in, you're going to expect more things. Making the tournament with a roster full of freshmen would be a good achievement this year.

I've already been extremely positive in my assessment of this year so far.

Who knows. The expectations have been lowered so far at this point then just making the tournament is a good year. They will probably crown him King of Fayetteville.

I cant fathom the thought that folks are piling on Drewbie. He is spot on, on most things imo. Understanding that it is opinion.

But, when MA was hired, who here thought it would take this long, and albeit longer to get to and win a 2nd round tourney game? Who thought we would be able to compete at a higher level and recruit at a higher level?

Remember back to those days. From there, have we overachieved, underachieved, or are you still satisfied with the results.

Drewbie was also correct in that it is much easier to turn around a BB program than that of Football. One truly great player can make a huge difference in total outcomes, one great recruiting class can as well.

ANd then Coaching... How has that worked out for us. How many times has MA called a TO for a play and it seem as if futility set in?

And I agree with Drewbie that MA finally has his type of team here, after this many years... This long, he has it.


And I agree with Drewbie that I want MA to win it all here, and develop a program like our fans deserve again. He is capable, but will he get the right assistants, when needed, recruit at a higher level, and develop?

How could you forget a generational talent like Holmes on the bench waiting for his shot?
