By far. I also love his post game interviews, he's the exact opposite of Lyle.

He isn't exceptional but he is solid imo.

I think we will likely be a tourney type team every year after this one he's here. Maybe a chance at a serious run every 3 or so years.

Program should be in very good shape whenever he hangs it up.

He inherited a big ball of shite too. But he seems to be making it work

This is by far our worst game of the year. We usually play good defense, but tonight even that's gone to shite.

Was always a fan of his.



Barnes was a really good hire. The AD's office has drawn its fair share of deserved criticism over the past few years, but getting Barnes is a big win.

He has more tourney appearances than that. He has more as a head coach than our program does iirc. I think 20+ and only like 3 missed tourneys combined at Texas, Clemson, Providence and George Mason.

Probably an NIT team next year, but I expect we'll make the tourney more times than not going forward beyond that. We can see the light at the end of the tunnel but it's very far away. Halves like this are a very good sign though.

I want to say Tennessee looks good, but I already know they suck arse.

I thought we were mediocre, but I guess we suck arse.

I've watched almost every game this year, and I wouldn't say they're god awful. They play really hard. They've played some good teams in Gonzaga, Butler and GW and had a chance to win all of them. That's a testament to Barnes because this lot shouldn't be good.

I think the incoming class + Turner and the continued development of Schofield, Mostella, Hubbs and Alexander is very solid.

Turner/Bone
Mostella/Phillips/Parker
Hubbs/Johnson
Schofield/Fulkerson
Alexander/Williams

Not bad. Would like to add a good big in the spring though.

Admiral Schofield(sp) has really surprised me with how well he's been playing as a true freshmen. Double digits going into half and a strong presence when he's on the floor. Good scouting by the previous staff and development by this one.

We have some talent, and we hustle hard. We are severely lacking in size, depth and experience though.

A MASSIVE ball of shite. It'll probably be slightly worse next year, basically only signing a foundation class this year and going after the stars next year, by year 3, this team should be a force.

Cuanzo didn't recruit worth a shite and the last hire was a disaster.

Dunno why he was even hired, he had far more baggage than Pearl did.

We have (i thought) a good, strong frontcourt. You guys are clowning us down low.

Donnie can coach, but he couldn't recruit last year because of NCAA investigation.

Was a colossal blunder by Hart, I've been tempted to call for his head over it but I guess I'll wait and see how his football hire works out. That's what we really care about after all

Tyndall added Punter, Baulkman, Mostella, Schofield and Phillips. Not terrible.

I think he would have gotten it done.

A lot more of Cuonzo's trash than Donnie's on this roster.
