re: Worst halftime adjustments in history, frick Mike White,

There are dozens of examples between richt, fox, and stricklin. I know everyone these days is reactionary as all hell and hyperbole rules so anything is the best of all time or literally the worst that's ever existed in the immediate aftermath, but I mean come on. Not excusing yesterday by any means by the way. It was so horrendous I don't really even want to devote any mental energy to thinking about it anymore. But threads like this are just so so stupid

Ive pretty much always agreed with you on White.

Last night changed me. Dude fricking sucks.

Why were we arse in basketball for 2 decades? No NIL money and recruits had no interest in playing in a dilapidated half empty arena in a school that literally cares more about gymnastics. Sure we'd convince a KCP or Anthony Edwards to play for the home state once in a blue moon but we'd surround them with 2 star walk on level guys.

All for naught these days. We have the NIL money to put a team out there as good as anyone but Kentucky. 10-14 teams from the SEC make the dance every year. Students seem to actually give a frick and don't just show up for the free chickfila sandwich and t shirt like they did when I was there.


The worst two games we've played this century were in the first round of the NCAA tournament. We look like a 16 playing a 1. No wait they actually all kept it close until the end. They weren't losing by 20 and then give up a fricking 12-0 run of dunks after "halftime adjustments".

Thanks for making us relevant but he needs to get his arse fired. We will never be taken seriously if we run it back and do this shite next year

Not really. Fox got to two tournaments. Lost in the first round both times, but one was a 3 point loss to a Washington team with a point guard who had a top 5 MVP finish in the NBA and the other was a competitive 12 point loss to a grossly underseeded Michigan State team who went to the Final Four.

Richt had some embarrassing losses, but I don't ever remember his teams ever losing 35-3 to Vanderbilt or UAB.

Stricklin's team getting steamrolled twice by an unseeded FSU team in the 2019 regional is probably the closest example.

White's two tournament performances are on a different level. Last year, 10 minutes into the game, they were losing 30-5. Gonzaga was better for sure, but that was humiliating. Last night, they turned in arguably the worst performance in NCAA tournament history when you account for matchup. They looked like a 16 seed playing against 2024 UConn even though they clearly had more pure talent and athleticism than St Louis.

Could be, White let St Louis go on long runs while we were brick after brick and never thought to call timeout and talk with our guys about shot selection.

You were the only one who started a separate thread when the season thread was working just fine for letting off steam. Grown man attention whoring will never not be bizarre.
