Ok, so if you understand that the staff left, for whatever reason, then you also understand that any new staff is going to look different. It's not going to be the exact same roster with the exact same roles. You understand that, right? It doesn't make much sense when you keep saying this is a top 15 team with the original staff and original roster. They aren't here anymore.

As for the NCAA tournament, yes, they lost to a few lower seed teams (#12 Harvard--who should have been more like a 7; #7 Nevada--literally the only MAJOR ****-up I would hold against him in his 13 year tenure) but also had the pleasure of getting to play #1 seed Kentucky in Lexington and #3 seed UCLA in Sacramento. They lost as the 6 seed against #3 National Champion UConn in 11. They lost a few 8-9 games as the 9 seed, including one where they had to play an underseeded Creighton team that had NPOY Doug McDermott. They made a Sweet 16 by winning a 6-3 game against FSU as the 6. That's his tournament record. It's really not as bad as people make it out to be. Last edited by UCats329; 03-01-2020 at 04:59 PM. |

1 sweet 16 in 12 years is ridiculous if you’re touting making tourney appearances Same excuses that people got tired of every year. Last edited by Bcatfollower; 03-01-2020 at 05:02 PM. |

And lets not forget the 9 straight NCAA tournaments, a streak that Brannen seems likely to end in his first year. He was a top coach in the American. The only thing he didn't do is win in the single elimination NCAA tournament - which is largely random. More importantly, his teams came out almost every night and played with effort, intensity and focus on both ends of the court. He may not have had the best offensive players, but they generally avoided beating themselves. Brannen's first year has a lot of silly TO's, bad defense and lack of effort at rebounding. I would feel better if we were playing hard and smart and getting beat because of lack of talent. But it seems to me that we have the talent to compete, it's lack of effort and focus where we generally get beat. Last edited by skyblade; 03-01-2020 at 05:03 PM. |

It's your brand of delusional ass thinking that's screwed this whole thing up for those of us who enjoyed winning ~28 games a year, conference titles, and making the tournament EVERY YEAR. Last edited by UCats329; 03-01-2020 at 05:05 PM. |
