Brass Cannon

Nothing like playing Maryland to bust out of a dry spell.

People said woody was a disaster before the ink was dry on his contract they were as right then as they were 4 years later.

We did not hav a bad 2 week stretch. We had no good wins till Purdue we were on the wrong side of the bubble until we beat them. If you have to misrepresent where we were as a program I don’t think whatever point you are trying to make has any merit. We constructed a flawed roster and the. Proceeded to not win. Obviously if you start winning things are different.

We are now after the recovery of the last 10 days. But when this topic was made we felt to be in very different spots

Agreed. But with a flawed roster and thru 19 games nothing really impressive of note it’s understandable that fans are going to be frustrated. Michigan, Iowa and Virginia are all teams who have had less painful coaching transitions in the last 15 months and a large part of our fanbase wanted a few of those coaches there is gonna be discontent.

Virginia is 18-3 though. That’s not the same as a loss that puts you on the wrong side of the bubble. And Tenn has a couple of very impressive non con wins. It’s not that the thing happened. It’s that all the bad things were happening at once. 0 quality non con wins. Losing winnable conference games. Blowing big leads at home. If the ship is righted that’s great. And is impressive but it’s only impressive because jt was very bad before

I would be very curious what fanbases those are. But I would also say that if the fanbase in question had a first year coach then those fans would have every right to be frustrated and skeptical

I was responding to a claim that our fanbase sucks. Im simply saying it’s okay to have standards and not just be happy to get a participation trophy. There was nothing close to the upheaval necessary to give Dolson what he needed to make a move. The average fans saw two tourney bids and didn’t see that it was inspite of terrible coaching.

Their teams suck and look to be at a disadvantage in the NIL era. Does not bode well

The ebbs and flow of a basketball season should not include a long stretch where the team barely looks like they know basketball. Excusing that is why we keep giving 4 or more years to coaches who can’t cut it. Devries was not doing a good job. He constructed a faulty roster and then wasn’t winning with it. He’s winning now. Winning sure does cure a lot. But context on how the team looks and performs matters. You shouldn’t blow 16 point leads at home. You shouldnt get ran off the court in all your quality OoC games. The fact that people have been willing to accept that as totally normal Is how you get Mike Woodson year 4 instead of May year 1.

The airball non call travel a blind person could have called based on the sound

Hey guys out of curiosity in todays age of college eligibility I gotta ask. Do any of our seniors have eligibility after this year?

The 14 seeds are licking their chops.

Man rewatching the second OT now. Both teams looked gassed. Sisley was rough but fresh which helped him on that last play. He just was so explosive compared to everything else in the game. Really hoping that UCLA isn’t worn down from this game. Dent played 50 Minutes. Need them to beat Rutgers on Tuesday night. And obviously hope the guys are getting rest and ready to beat USC on Tuesday. Man I will probably end up watching and Wednesday Brasscannon will have to just deal with it

Didn’t seem to take any responsibility on himself either. Which is not surprising

Yep. That checks out. I prefer Torvik I know we had at least a stint at 22 and 24 yesterday but are currently 23

That’s a guy that won’t be coaching there much longer. That’s the feel of the press conference

Big shoes to fill but dude has some real talent. Ready to cheer him on

How does the team favored to win rise if they lose?

That was a make up call for not calling the travel on the airball.

We have an extremely flawed roster. Missing some important roles. And we lack a real alpha. We have a lot of guys who are feast or famine. Sometimes for 5 minute stretches. Key is to find a way to win. And build a better roster next year. Archie or Woody would like be 4-7 if not worse in conference with this roster. And would have dropped a WTF game in the OoC. We would like be 12-10 and solidly out of the tourney. Team is frustrating. Coach has me pulling my hair out but progress has occurred

Yep. We are favored in our next 3 we need to win those. That will put us as 9-5 in conference. And in really strong position

Lot of weird decisions.

Crazy how the fans at the start looked bored out of their minds and by second OT the place was shaking
