Let me get this straight.  You were done with Barnes a year after our 1st final 4 appearance in 50 years and a mere few weeks after reaching our 3rd sweet 16 in as many years.  

Yes it's called seeing unfixable coaching flaws. I can go into detail. The same flaws I see 20 years later and no national championship for him.

Honestly sweet sixteen is not what I want, that is just a step.

AAS is ridiculous as the news in it is at least 1 or 2 days old.  Unfortunately, I can’t get my wife to give up.

Did RT ever make any runs in the dance with El Paso or Fresno? 

One game at Fresno State, lost to Utah in the round of 64.

I never heard of him before he came here. I knew he was an assistant back in day.

So you had heard of him?

Because he didn’t.

The EE season is the outlier for many reasons. When you account for his HC jobs minus the EE year, Terry had double digit losses every single year.

Minus the EE season, RT has a HC record of 203-184 for winning percentage of 52%

2 teams in 14 years have gone from Dayton to the final 4. I’m not suspecting that for us but it’s not completely inconceivable. If Ray got us to the final 4 would you still fire him?  I think I’d still be in favor. Regular season means a ton more to me than tournament in measuring health of program. This program is sick. But- I will root for us to win every game here in March.

He's under .500 if you exclude Texas right? We hired a coach with a losing record over 10 seasons. And zero tournament wins.

0.0% chance he gets fired if we got to the Final Four

But it’s more likely UNC makes the run than us. We can never seem to play consecutive good games. Let alone 3 or 4 in a row

Sure. We also are healthier than we have been all year, probably not as bad as our record and the 11 seed is the best shot at a sweet 16 trip of any double digit seeds imo. After that who knows how brackets break. 
WAY more likely we find a way to lose in Dayton though.

I think we played 3 good ones in a row in the SECT. Which is frustrating considering how the rest of the season went. 

The Tex/Xav 6/3 is probably easier than the UNC 6/3. Not sure I see either 11 making a run though or Texas even beating Xavier.

I think we have a decent shot of making it out of Milwaukee if we can win tonight

I'm pretty worried about tonight though!

UNC has better guard play, though, at least until we rotated positions a week or so ago.

If we lose tonight and I’m kinda leaning that way, I hope we get an announcement by tomorrow that Texas and RT have parted ways.

Absolutely.  There is zero upside to waiting.

Next year's team will be pretty bad.  I get that kids transfer all the time now, but the roster management by RT is pretty turrible.  So why delay the inevitable ?

 I think we make it to the round of 32 and get bounced by Kentucky.

You have us beating Illinois?  Seems a reach, and we have to get there, regardless.

If we happen to get there. It won’t be Kentucky we see.

We are playing some decent basketball right now. We kept it close till halftime against Rick and that was after playing two games in the two days prior.

Yeah the portal is only open until April 15 I think? Very quick turnaround time to get a new coach in there and gather up some ballers

The issue is going to be any candidate, or the guy, playing beyond this weekend.  

CDC also seems to wait to swing the axe once he has his guy secured.

Mentioned on another thread but a lot of people have the Texas/Xavier winner beating Illinois.

I could see them being an okay matchup with us - they don't shoot the 3 well at all 

But they have a 7'1, 230 center

He's the brother of the shitty center from Arkansas, and is only slightly better. I wouldn't be stressed facing him.

The portal closes April 22nd

Plenty of time for a coach who loses the 1st or 2nd weekend of the tournament.

illinois is good, they’re just bipolar. they can really score, but they don’t shoot the three well. they do however get it done on the offensive glass which makes up for that. if you watched them during this stretch:

they look like an E8 team. if you watched them during this stretch:

IMG_7386.thumb.jpeg.a71753bdd4270274b3011c33b14f74a5.jpeg

you’re licking your chops at the draw we just got. 

really all depends on which illinois team shows up.

Well are probably closer to a Michigan or Iowa than we are Wisconsin, Duke or Michigan State

We could keep it within 25 or 30 against Duke - at least.
