They could go in a free fall IDK but they are closer to 135 than Tusla is to 75.

Beating a team at home ranked #75 would be ranked the same to the committee winning away against #135 (this year). Tulsa is #97 in Kenpom and Uconn is #125. This is for the time being. You could be right about the finish to the season for Uconn. I think they just lost Gilbert again.

I ******* Hate UCONN. They can't do anything right. If they keep Ollie its like the bengals keeping Marvin Lewis
Tulsa won't be respectable as long as Frank Haith is around. I'd rather have them bottom out like UConn is doing. Leave no doubt. Ollie is so bad. Their fans have to be losing their minds.

Chad has talked before about that not really being up to Kevin Ollie.

where theres a will theres a way!



never underestimate the amount of damage a bad coach could do. not saying he isn't bad, just that there are some coaches out there that could have lost with that team.

Just watch UCONN run an "offensive set" and you'll quickly realize he is a bad coach.

And even worse, his roster is usually full of top 100 players and yet he still can't coach them.

If I were to rank the coaches in this league I'd go:

1. Greg Marshall (can't deny his performance in the tourney)
2. Mick Cronin
3. Tim Jankovich
4. Kelvin Sampson
5. Johnny Dawkins
6. Fran Dunphy
7. Mike Dunleavy
8. Frank Haith
9. Tubby Smith
10. kevin Ollie
11. Who ever Coaches USF
12. Who ever coaches ECU


UCONN can't have the 10th best coach in the league if it wants to be UCONN again. They need to drop a bag on a great coach.

Brian Gregory should be 8th imo. I agree with everything else (maybe flip Dunleavy and Dunphy). Jankovich working out is huge for SMU.

If jank can make a run in the tourney, he will get a high major job.

Actually would be nice if he coached UConn.


But yea he a great coach. His teams always shoot, rebound and defend well.

Ben emoulou or however you spell his name leads the country in 3 point shooting at 60% on 60 attempts.

That’s outagious.

They are a team that I’m a little scared of just based on how well they shoot and rebound

They have 6 guys averaging over 10 ppg as well. They are an absolute handful once again. Ranked 23 in Kenpom and McMurray has only played in 4 games. They are probably right there with us and WSU honestly. They probably win the games against Northern Iowa and Wester KY if McMurray is playing.

Sunday will be very difficult no doubt (especially if we don't have Broome). Moody will be a very very tall order.
