  1. This matchup is very much like the men's finals matchup. South Carolina is like Uconn with a superior all around team. Iowa has a freak of nature in Clark just like Purdue's Edey.
  2. This is a very entertaining game. Both teams are very good.
  3. The SEC has more quality schools than the Big 12. With Texas, the conference will have at least four Tier 1 schools (if you include Aggy), which is not that bad.
  4. Taaffe is a future longhorn legend. Mark my words. He is a coach on the field now and he will very likely be a coach off the field when his playing days are over. He just has IT.
  5. You summed it up really well. I was upset because our program took a major setback when CB was let go, and I felt like RT won't be able to keep us in the same upward trajectory. Now we have posters telling us that we should just accept and be happy with what we've got given our history in this sports. The Baylor or Gonzaga examples tell us otherwise. This thread's title doesn't mean we just discuss firing RT here. It's a catchall thread to whine about our basketball coaching shortcomings. This is not the only thread of this kind where people whine about certain coaches.
  6. Taafe is a coach on the field.
  7. You know it's the offseason when we drink the kool-aid and compare former walk-ons to all time greats. Then the season starts and we bitch about why our DBs are the worst.
  8. We can't seem to close the gap. Not our day.
  9. Giving up too many wide open 3s.
  10. We left too many mid range jumpers short. Also, we are getting outplayed on the defensive end.
  11. Glad we cut the deficit down to a manageable 12. Hopefully, Aziaha cools off in the second half.
  12. I would like to see Purdue play Uconn in the championship game. Should be a great game if those two can make it there.
  13. I don't think Houston ever had the offense to win it all. Same goes for Tennessee and Barnes. Their best usually is Final 4.
  14. Seems like Big 12 was overrated this year.
  15. This Marquette team is playing like Shaka's teams at Texas. Has he made the team do the breathing exercises yet?
  16. Mark Few and Scott Drew should be on that list.
  17. Mitchell and Hunter portalling is the best for all parties involved. I don't think giving them diminished roles would have worked. Time for RT to earn his paycheck and find some gems in the portal.
  18. Hunter can't handle the ball. I know that's his position but he has shown no ability to fight off any kind of press. Even when nobody is pressing him, he would dribble into traffic and turn the ball over. I don't think PG is his natural position. Maybe he can play better off the ball.
  19. Mitchell and Hunter had plenty of opportunities to improve over the last two years. It's not like their minutes were limited and didn'tget enough chances to showcase their talents. They just are not good players, and hoping for them to miraculously improve next year will only set us up for failure. Hopium is not a winning strategy. It may be a good coping mechanism for the fans (works for Aggy), but the coaches are paid millions to know better.
  20. He also stuck him with the guys that went to the elite 8 that you keep wanting to give RT all the credit for. You're only "stuck" in season, which was 2023, not the next season in this era of portal.
  21. They are triple teaming him.
  22. How do you defend Edey? I just can't believe their early exits despite having a player like him.
  23. They said the same things about Mack. Apparently, we have to give a lifetime contract to a coach if he or she wins anything of significance.
  24. I believe RT gets 3 years or more if he can make the tourney again next year. What might accelerate his firing, however, is us underperforming the teams led by our former coaches and Aggy. If Beard, Barnes, Shaka and Aggy have better seasons than us next year, RT's leash will get shorter imo.
