Can’t They Get Their Tobacco To Market Anymore? 😆

I’m not trying to be a wisenheimer…I just wonder how that’s even possible. What with the talking heads telling me they’re the OG blue blood at every turn and all.

The difference is that when people were saying that about Brad, he was 4-7 at Illinois and had made a second weekend at another school. Pat Kelsey has had enough opportunity to prove it in my eyes.

I will say that not having his best player in the tournament this year was a bummer. But the expectations for the season were not met… again

I mean Brad's a better coach than Kelsey and always has been. Just pointing out that he was subject to some of the same criticisms.

People let the coin-flippy nature of tournament success drive too much of their thinking. You see this in the opposite direction with someone like Eric Musselman whose past runs in the tournament blind people to him being very much in that Lorenzo Romar/Travis Ford/Rick Stansbury lineage that there's just no use for in the new college basketball.

Spoon trumps Eddie for being the longer-term fan!

(NOTE: I rode 80 miles through the snow storm in a Jeep Wrangler to get to Assembly Hall for the Eddie Johnson game. Unfortunately, Kelvin Ransey and Herb Williams then ruined our chance two days later to be ranked #1 in the next release of the AP/UPI polls.)
