So you dont want to put your money where your mouth is. You just want to rant like Derka. Got it 

lol. Rant? So anyone that responds to your dumb fucking post is ranting? Got it. At least the board gets to see you’re the one doing this and not derka. Got it. And yea I’ll bet you. You tell me? $50? $100? Put your money where your big mouth is. And what’s the round? What’s “up to their seed” since you’re the expert you tell me? What’s the round a 1 seed goes out? Sweet 16 is the floor. So you say they won’t make the sweet 16?

I think a one seed should make the regional final at a minimum, but that's just me.

Lol you think a sweet 16 exit is acceptable for a 1 seed? The 1 seed means they’re supposed to win the region 

I win if they lose in the sweet 16 or earlier. You win if they make the final four. We can call elite 8 a push

Jesus christ its not hard, a #1 seed plays to its seed if they  make the final four.

This team is absolutely less than the sum of their parts even with glaring skill set deficits on this roster. This team with a good coach is a 5 or 6 seed.

Having to talk this roster up to make the claim that they're poorly coached is definitely a stance to take. I didn't watch them much before the LSU game but it took about 5 minutes of that one for me to realize how problematic this backcourt is. Terry has already made plenty of adjustments trying to make up for it like starting Weaver and limiting Tyrese's minutes but it's not going to be enough in certain matchups.

Abmas is 2/14 right now. Tyrese hasn't scored since like 10 mins in the first half and has 5 turnovers to 1 dime. Those are not coaching issues - that's a very limited backcourt getting eaten alive by one of - if not the - best team in the country on the road. 

But yes - please tell us how much you know about basketball and how guys like Onyema and Horton are actually stars they're just being wronged by RT. 

[MotownHorn 1776]

To be critical of RT I think him playing Cunningham Onyema Horton together midway through the 1st half is what blew this game open

You don’t you’re an idiot. You compared Houston to Bob Huggins West Virginia team. They wish they had the success of Houston. Lmao.

There was a reason Virginia just had him playing defense and rebounding. 

Terry's evaluations on his transfers was pure garbage outside of Weaver and Abmas, but Abmas' lack of size and athleticism kills them on the defensive end and hurts them when they play teams with high end athletic guards like today. 

Correct.

You change game flow. You play to the players’ strengths.

Yes, all the sudden all of the players just suck. Or maybe Sampson knows exactly what he’s doing and run circles around our team most days for a coaching. Your RT sunshine pumping looks really good about right now. And if it is just a roster problem as you cling to, then Terry certainly helped build this roster.

Yes, this loss was expected, but this is just embarrassing.

But if you think my post was the dumbest thing you’ve read on here, I’d like to thank you for helping me out by posting an even dumber take within an hour by suggesting that a 1 seed losing in the sweet 16 is performing to their seed 

[Sal 1088]

Bad coaches are overconfident in their abilities to fix bad players and form rosters around them. Terry came in here thinking he could win with a horrible backcourt, no rebounding, and no defense. He thought he could just add scrubs like Onyema, Shedrick, and Horton to replace our two blue chips, Holland and Johnson. Sure, it could just be the result of transition and a lack of foresight for one year. But there's no culture or identity with this team, and I can't say anyone has really improved other than Weaver and maybe Disu coming back from injury. There's no indication that Terry will ever be much better than he was at previous stops, and his track record isn't good. We care too much about optics, but if a good coach like Lloyd was available, I wouldn't hesitate to move on from Terry.

2022 all the 1 seeds were out by the sweet 16 except Kansas who won. The tourney is hard. You’re just a moron that looks at seeds when history shows how tough it is. I pointed this out in the original post you made about “they’ll find out like West Virginia did”. No they won’t find out because 1) they play this way every year and 2) went to the final 4, elite 8 and sweet 16. So clearly they won’t find out. But instead of addressing your stupid fucking post you decided to say “oh yea let’s bet”. So you want to bet I’m down. But address first the stupidity in your post. Which you won’t, you’ll say I’m derka instead and show everyone how big of a pussy you are. So yea I’m gonna keep calling you out until you say something and not pivot to the tourney.

Other than changing conferences, what do we see (not just today, but any day) that gives us hope for a better season in 2025? I want to think we'll improve, but I certainly can't point to anything that's happening on the court.  

Same.  Not trying to be ugly but think next season will be worse

[MotownHorn 1776]

You’re ranting about how they won’t get bounced earlier than they should like WV used to while pointing to their sweet 16 exit as a 1 seed last year as evidence to back up that point 

That Is so incredibly stupid

No one in the portal was replacing those two, especially with how late in the process they bounced.

And in 2008 the final four had all #1 seeds. But it doesnt matter because BY DEFINITION playing to your seed means that a #1 seed makes the final four.

Despite this ugly loss, I am not too disappointed by this team and the coaching job RT has done so far. I guess I was expecting it to be a lot worse, so in a strange way, I don't mind this season too much. We are a middling team capable of causing some upsets, and if we get a favorable draw, we might win a game or two in the tourney.

For sure. You definitely had pretty low expectations to be fair.

You were questioning if recruits could even understand him when he talked.

while the draw will help, I'm not sure the draw will have a lot to do with it(if we make the tourney).  It will mainly depend on if Abmas shows up or not.  I expect Disu to show up.  I don't expect Hunter to show up at all.  Abmas is probably 60/40 to show up.
