  1. as i remember it, we were pretty well below average during non conference play, then really bad to open league play, followed by a gradual bounce back that seemed sustained until the baylor and OU games, at which point we went back down to “pretty well below average”. we finished 55th in AdjD. our lowest point was being ranked in the 70’s in january, and our highest point was being in the 40’s last month.
  2. he’s gonna land this one of these days, and it’s going to be magical.
  3. hell yeah. well deserved for both guys. these guys have done the majority of the heavy lifting for this team all season, and they deserve all of the plaudits. i would love for dylan to make one of the all america teams, but sadly his injury from last year will likely prevent that from happening, otherwise i think he at least makes the AA 3rd team.
  4. they would have done better if there were more men there to support them. this is our fault.
  5. Bauer haters look away: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4Wb2W1yPMJ/?igsh=MzR1YzVxYjF4eG5x the comeback is on!
  6. the abject rage, and combativeness, and lack of knowledge from htown or utgrad97 or whatever his name is never gets any less grating to deal with. christ on a cracker that shit is old.
  7. dan hurley has done nothing but improve every single shitty program that he’s taken over, including Wagner and URI. those programs are terrible, dan hurley arrives, after two years they are wildly improved, and he gets promoted to an even better program, winning league titles and multiple tourney games along the way. this is his career path, the path of a winner. he’s done nothing but climb the ranks and improve every program he’s ever been hired to coach. what, at all, in rodney terry’s career is even remotely comparable to dan burley’s accomplishments and his career trajectory? did i miss the part where dan hurley went to one tourney in 10 years as a HC, never won a tourney game or a league title, took a lateral move, and then took a downward move to a position of assistant coach, or are you just angrily talking out of your ass like you always do?
  8. also things are seemingly starting to line up for us. that UCF win last night for example was awesome for us. our oath to winning two league tourney games just became a more realistically doable one, and with two wins in this tourney there is zero chance we are anything worse than a 7 seed, and could very well end up as a 6 seed. the path to the S16 as a 6 seed is infinitely easier than as an 8 seed, which was likely what we were looking at just a week ago. we got hot around this time last year. there’s nothing that says we can’t do it again.
  9. final regular season standings and rankings:
  10. i’m rooting for RT. you are making asinine excuses for his mediocre resume and then starting and perpetuating juvenile, internet slap fights with anyone who uses facts and stats to refute your arguments. hence the “12 year old with behavioral issues” comment. you have zero desire to have an earnest discussion. it’s childish and pointless. but that’s all you ever being to the table, so not sure what i expected.
  11. aren’t you on your 50’s? because you behave like a middle school child with behavioral issues. you have no desire to actually discuss anything here earnestly. it’s dumb.
  12. for christ’s sake, rebutting y'all's asinine and insincere posts with a factual breakdown of his career record is not dogging him. if you don’t want his factual coaching record to be brought up and compared to those of actual successful coaches then stop making the same disingenuous arguments about his career resume/path over and over and over. and you’re right, there is nothing wrong with being pro-RT. however there is *definitely* something wrong with the pro-RT crowd.
  13. because bill self was a winner at oral roberts, tulane, and illinois before becoming one of the truly elite coaches in the sport, while RT, at the same stages in his career, was either an assistant coach, or a mediocre HC who couldn’t take the programs he where he was hired and turn them into a program that wins games. and mostly because you clowns keep making the most asinine excuses as to why his 28 year resume pre-Beard being fired doesn’t matter.
  14. that second half was hectic as shit. can’t believe it ended in a draw.
  15. another sincere, logical argument from the pro-RT (or in this case psycho anti-derka) crowd. totally an apples to apples comparison. let’s dive in to this stupid shit: •at 38 years old in 2012 dan hurley takes over at Wagner with the seahawks coming off of a 5-26 season. hurley proceeds to go 13-17 followed by a 25-6 season which saw him get hired by Rhode Island for the great job he’d done. •at age 40 he takes over a 7-24 URI team. two years later rhode island is 23-10, followed by a 25 win season with a tourney win, followed by a 26 win season with an A10 title, a tourney win, and a promotion to UCONN. •at the age of 46 he takes over at UCONN. at the age of 50 he wins the national fucking title at UCONN, and now at the age of 51 he has uconn as a no.1 seed and the popular favorite to repeat. sounds pretty elite to me! all you have done is proven my point. good coaches win. HELLO. let’s repeat that: good coaches win. they win at shitty programs with shitty histories, programs that go back to being shitty when their good coach leaves for a better job. they don’t win at .500 clip over 10 years at two different schools from multi bid leagues with a total of one tourney appearance and zero league title or tourney wins. they win early, they win often, and they climb the coaching ladder from the word go. great stuff as usual tho. super sincere and logical arguments from your crowd, as always. 👌🏻
  16. lol holy shit diaz, what a lack of composure. this game is going to be wild.
  17. also lol at you “dunking on” rick barnes hours after he finished his regular season 24-7 and no.5 in kenpom. what a failure!
  18. that was a regular season game.
