The 9-9 record and 4th place finish are bigger than 20 wins but if they lose to tech they are out.

Not that it matters much, but the conference will list them as tied for 3rd (along with OU, Tec, WVU) in the regular season. It's like last year, when they listed Tech & KSU as tied for first; the seeding is for the conference tournament rather than the historical record.

what a fucking loser. he's practically flaunting his own ineptitude, like he's asking to be fired.

 

"we just kept imploring our guys to go win the next round." hey Shaka, you're a basketball coach, not a fucking corner man, and even if you were a corner man, imploring your fighter to "go win the next round" over and over would still be shitty, empty, meaningless "coaching". oh, and to then admit that you could see early on that they just didn't have it in them to fight back because they were in such complete shock? get the fuck out of Austin you lame-ass fucking fraud. you're an embarrassment.

Shaka: Okay, just go win the next round!
Team: But.....how should we do that?
Shaka: This is a long fight...we have to keep at it and keep fighting!
Team: Yeah, but what specifically do we need to do?
Shaka: I don't know...I guess keep running that play where Will sets the pick and pops out for the open 3!
Team: But Will's 15% from 3.
Shaka: Just win the next round and we'll be right in it!

So the Texas Tech game on Thu is a play in game for the (conference) tournament ...

I’m confused. So, what happened to TT and everyone’s presumptive coaching savior?

I want Shaka G.O.N.E. as much as anyone. But, WTF is up with Beard?  Didn’t he have the same conference schedule and shit the bed just as badly as S3?

I don’t see him as the prize ...

[Red Five 40666]

He should have Texas Tech in the final four every year!

You clearly don’t follow college basketball if you have to ask what happened to Tech.

Making the tourney in a rebuilding year is not our standard. 

[Braff Zacklin 13425]

Three others have already addressed @VirginiaLonghorn's post, so this is wholly unnecessary: 

Ell Oh Fucking Ell.

But, yeah, Beard totally sucks. Tech should fire him, post haste. Maybe the two schools can work out some sort of trade, straight up.

You must be completely oblivious. Tech lost the majority of their production from last season, 7 players are gone. They have 7 Freshman on their roster, several grad transfers a sophomore and junior. Clearly Beard is trash if he's unable to replicate last season's success with the roster he's working with this season. Beard is tasked with one of the toughest coaching jobs this season, for Tech to make the tourney is an accomplishment of it's own.

No no no what is the most unbelievable is that we have the record we have with all of those stats. If someone read those and had no context, they would think the team was 5-25

For comparison,  in an analogous situation to what Beard is going through this year we went 11-22.

That team had Jarrett Allen, Andrew Jones, Tevin Mack, Roach and EDJ both coming off freshman seasons where they made the All-Newcomer team in the Big XII, plus bench players like Kendal Yancy, James Banks, and Jacob Young. Show me another coach that wins 11 games with *that* team. I bet you can't find one.

yeah but I'm Derka. I belabor the point, loquaciously and verbosely going beyond what needs to be said for reasons unknown to anyone outside the tortured and demented mind of a pflugerville ghetto lyrical wordsmith/basketball genius who won't be appreciated until well after his own time. na mean?

Gotta believe it is happening.  

 

[1leggedduck 443]

The concept of a coach "imploring" players to do something is just foriegn to me. I'm old, but I thought coaches taught you how to do things and made you practice those things and then you could fall back on your training and reps to get you through. But wtf do I know?

[Goo Punch 4275]

That's the quote that i'm gonna always remember. That at the end of year five, in a must-win game, at home, against a bad team, all Shaka could offer was, "I kept imploring them to win the next round, but i could see in their eyes early on that they had no fight in them, because they were all in shock at being down early."

I kept imploring them, go win the basketball, do it for me don’t you love me, oh my God you don’t this is really happening. Anyway go team

agreed but then Shaka would fall back to "do what we told you to do!" coaching platitude.

they refused to stop the ball, they refused to take charges, Shaka never adjusted to get or keep the ball out of Disagwa's hands.  It was an epic defensive disaster backed up with our more normal to a bit worse than normal shooting game.  

dude is just a bad coach and obviously doesn't have an eye for players that can shoot.  they are good enough that they can go on a run now and then but its a massive sine wave.

If you lose in the play-in game in front of no one, does it really count as a loss? - CDC

[toronto 13]

Shaka praying they cancel the NCAA tourney, so he can say no other team made the tournament either. Gets another year!

the question is does CDC consider Shaka not getting a chance to have his team play its way into the tournament part of the "run of bad luck".  Poor Shaka!

There was a 4 or 5 minute period where we didn't score while Okla St went 8 for 9 and scored 23 straight points. We lost by 22. 

[Goo Punch 4275]

then there was that part where our fifth year head coach admitted that his players were "in shock" at being behind after OSU's early run, and that he could see early on that they didn't have it in then to fight back.

Wasn’t that the season Roach was our starting point guard? What a disaster.
