Easy there Chicken Little.

We have 4 games remaining against teams in the top 10. Anything can happen, especially considering we have 'Cuse and 'Nova at home.

While the ND loss is painful, it means we need to scratch a win where it wasn't expected.


I thought we would lose some games we were supposed to win and win some games we were supposed to lose. It's time to win some games.

Losing at ND was not a shock to me, but getting blown out in a VERY important game is not a good sign. While we have some games left, its going to be tough. We need to beat cuse or nova at this point, which for some ridiculous reason, which I cant notion, I can see that possibly happening. Time for this team and coach to step up.

I dont understand that comment.....we are 3/4 of the way through the season. That is more than enough time to know what a team is or is not. This team simply isn't consistent enough to make a run for the tourney. If we struggle to beat mid to lower teams in the big east on the road I dont see us being able to win any of our upcoming road games.

Pathetic yet expected. Did not watch only to fast forward through the replay. Micks teams usually tank at the end of the year. It is coming. Need a coach , a different one. The name means cut down the weak links like Mick Cronin!

Words of wisdom...Mick and Huggins were both known for tanking at the end. Mick just does it in the regular season.

BTW-I am currently available for the HC position. I'll probably have to include thegreatone, lumberjack, amongst others on my staff though, so I'm not sure how much better we would be than the current regime.

You got it.

I'm guessing Lumberjack can pull a Kiffin and be in charge of the hostesses.

Don't know if this was sarcasm, so I'm going to assume not. Here you go.

We suck on the road. We are good at home. We are good on neutral courts.

The season isn't lost because we struggle to win on the road. Road wins are tough, especially in our conference.

However, we need to win our home games and steal a victory or two on the road.

Many "realists" thought it would be very tough to win at ND. I didn't "expected" a win. I thought we could win, but expected a loss.

If we get blown out and look completely lost against a team that was in the lower half of the conference......not too sure how you can expect a win against tougher competition on the road. Hopefully we do steal one but the way this team has looked on the road CONSISTENTLY this year I dont see your basis to think they will play better. I would say "realist" know what this team is by now.
