Our defensive scheme doesn’t work... dunks/wide open shots after our pressure gets beat everytime

If living in denial gets you through the day, then you be you. The writing has been on the wall here since UK got involved.

Only when the coach has been fired can one state such things. Otherwise you are not a “real” fan.

Roster turnover is part of the game, but even on a poor performing team, this is a lot for one year. It’s going to follow BU on the recruiting trail.

The PB commitment is hilarious... in the fact that at this point guys would rather walk on somewhere than take a scholarship here. :o:doh:

I’m not the world’s most brilliant guy, but with $9.4 million in profit for 2015 the team valuation is only $14.3 million? If that’s the ask for the team, I’ll buy.

I honestly have no idea how good or bad we will be. I'd hope the second year in a system will help, but since we are bringing in a lot of new guys, I'm not sure how much of that matters. History would tell you don't expect much from first year players, especially post players. Bringing this...

If we define "success" for a project player as developing into a potential starter for a NCAA tournament level team, I'm guessing the "success" yield on project bigs is fairly low. As such, the coaching staff's strategy seems to be to go after top big recruits (i.e. Okoro, Liddell, etc.) and if...

The logical extension of this argument is why are non-profit colleges/universities even in the pro sports business to begin with. I love college sports, but the more you entertain paying student athletes or try to justify the $ made off these kids under the current system, the more you have to...

Unless I'm mistaken, I think its up to the NBA to decide how long a pro teams retain a players draft rights. This is the overall problem the NCAA/colleges and universities are having as it relates to revenue sports. If you want to be the minor league system for a pro sport, you essentially...

Prior to Xavier, Steele worked on the staff at Indiana. He joined the Hoosiers in August of 2006, taking on the duties of the video coordinator. After serving as the video coordinator for a season and a half while at IU, he was promoted to the position of assistant coach in February, 2008. From...

Poor kid has the receding hairline of a player twice his age.

Your selective quoting of coaches win totals for their first few seasons reminded me of the times when posters would post Coach K’s win totals for his first few years as concrete evidence that Groce was one more year away from turning this around. Good memories.

That or Billy Gillispie :o

The fact that Arizona and Virginia both got upset... shocking but not shocking. You know what I mean
