It hasn't been pretty, but I think just including the ones 'we scheduled ourselves' just removes the two games marquee matchups we won last year (at Xavier by 2 and at home against North Carolina by 12). Bottom is we haven't done well in big games out of conference, but I think you have to include the whole picture because no one ever just looks at only the ones teams 'scheduled themselves'.

All indications are that Caleb Love told the staff that he basically wanted full freedom on the offensive end. While we certainly could use Love's defensive skill, I think there were much better gets in portal/late commits that would have helped more. Love still is a guy who likes to put up a lot of threes but doesn't hit many. Given the choice between a healthy X or Love, I'm taking X. The problem is that we were hoping for a healthy X PLUS another backcourt addition.

Nothing guarantees future success. But I'll hire a coach with regular season and NCAA success ten times out of ten over someone whose success is winning a conference tournament.

Can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not if you think winning a conference tournament is a better indicator of a coach's success than winning a regular season conference title or advancing far in the NCAA tournament is.

Sounds pretty confrontational to say someone needs mental help.

LOL. Pretty easy solution for you if you think I'm being confrontational. Also if you think I'm being confrontational, you might want to read up on self-actualization.

So winning a conference tournament = winning consistently against good competition? Let's hire Patrick Ewing. He's free.

The reason Archie didn't work wasn't because he didn't win the A-10 tournament.

Winning a conference tournament would be last on my list of qualifications needed. If that meant much, Patrick Ewing would have a job.

You don't have time in college basketball to wallow in pity. Move on, get ready for the next.

Banks is as well, but he missed.

People are free to say whatever they want. It's a message board. Just never surprised at the huge swings in tone from game to game. IU came off two positive games and I'm sure that there will be someone posting soon how Woodson needs to be fired.

Sparks at the line. Comeback begins here.

Auburn guards making their shots. Defense hasn't been good but give them their due.

Can’t believe gunn’s layup didn’t go

Lot of hot takes in here today. 7-2, 2-0. Two losses were to good teams, neither were close. move on, play better.

Auburn 18-20 at the line. We have to work on our free throw defense

That one I don’t get….kid just fell down

TO difference is the biggest issue. That’s seven more possessions.

When the guards you have to pressure are Galloway, Cupps, and Gunn, it’s hard to force many turnovers.

Questionable foul puts Edey on the line with Purdue up 3

Looked like Reneau’s hand hit on that shot

Nah. Free throw parade just getting started for edey

Johnson really didn’t think he fouled there?
