I’ve said the same thing about meaningless bowl games but everyone says differently about those.

We were in the tournament until the last few days as all prognosticators had us in. Why Texas and Oklahoma jumped us I have no idea. Why Miami (OH) is in no idea.

When I was saying we are in we were a projected 7 seed. We continued to lose and everything pointed to if we win the first game in the SEC tournament we would be in even after the terrible end of the season. We did that. We finished with the metrics to be in.

I remained under the impression that the committee would stand by their wishes of wanting tough non conference games early in the season. They did not. Why the frick is Texas in and Auburn out?

I would be ok with being out if there were 5-6 1 bid league upsets that threw off all the bubble teams. That didn’t happen. So what do we make of this committee and the disregard of the NET rankings 30-40 this year? That’s why they went to a metric model for the committee. I’m sure they have fricked over other teams before but this year I was paying attention to my team. Still every “expert” would say by the metrics Auburn should be in. But we aren’t.

And for the personal stuff frick off dipshit. I will never pull against my team, never hope they don’t get in.

Steven Pearl does not have what it takes to be a good coach.

I’m still waiting for someone to show me how this is a true statement.

Y’all think Adolf Rupp gets this roster to the sweet 16 or something? Laughable

Ok sounds good. Will you eat crow when you’re wrong?

So SMU and Miami (OH) play in game. So dumb. Even with our struggles we would kick both their asses

I agree with this part. Start scouting now.

We in or out? Not watching

Who is he. If that is me I haven’t. All metrics should have us in.

Should be in under the way the NCAA uses metrics.

I haven’t kept up with how many bid stealers have won the small conferences.

So have no idea. Last few in first few out.

Will be a totally different crop of coaches available when/if we make a change.

I still have yet to understand anyone saying want Steven fired because they watched him coach.

What did he do wrong like situational? Should he have played more players? If so, who? If he should have played fewer, how? Our offense was still mostly efficient stat wise on the season. We struggled late in games. From my viewpoint seemed we didn’t run offense or burned to much clock and got into scramble situations or hero ball.

On defense I have zero doubt that the coaches worked on the strengths and weaknesses. Just not a good defensive team. I think SWA and Freeman can be good defenders but need to get better. Overton is an ok defender but lets some of the quicker guards turn the corner on him to much but he probably is what he is. The rest on the defense is effort. From people I respect all say the same team inconsistent effort.

I’ll pass judgment after we have a different roster. This team and no point in the season seemed like a “team”. Remember it took overtime to beat Bethune Cookman in Neville to open the season.
