Why doesn't the outside world see that we deserve/need better. Would CTC performance be acceptable at Duke, Kentucky, Carolina, Kansas, Louisville, etc.?

mdn82 Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 I might be in the minority here but I keep seeing people mention the NIT, but I think if we lose tonight we won't even be invited to the participate. Seems there were a good number of regular season champs in smaller conferences that lost in their respective conference tournaments so they would receive attention first. If we lose tonight, I just don't see any postseason games for us$$$$$$$$ talks. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote
Jeff_Boy_Ardee Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 This may need to be in a new thread, but is anyone attending the first two rounds in Indy? I'll be there with some buddies, maybe we could try to form a mini BTB get together and watch the games Saturday somewhere. Quote

If we lose tonight, I just don't see any postseason games for us We're projected as a 2 seed in the NIT right now (8 is the lowest you can be). Most of the teams you reference would not be in the NIT if it wasn't for their auto bid, so they will likely be seeded near the bottom. There are still about 10 one-bid leagues that could still send their regular season champions to the NIT, but I think we're safely in at this point, even with a loss today. Quote

He dug us out of the crap hole Sampson put us in and actually did make us relevant again. I, for one, will always have massive amounts of respect for Crean because of what he did. I know everyone wanted him to be the guy to win championships and be here forever but it just isn't unfolding like that. The problem is he hasn't been able to sustain success and it's pretty clear we've seen the best of Crean and his best can't get past the Sweet 16. He's had damn good teams, he's had time but things are regressing - it's time for a change. Thank you, Tom Crean but that'll do. I also hope that if Crean ever ends up on an opponents bench in Assembly Hall that he's greeted with a standing ovation - he deserves it. I could not agree more with this statement. I totally understand if you want a change in direction, but I do not understand the hatred and nastiness I see toward Coach Crean in this thread. The man has worked incredibly hard the last 9 years(albiet with mixed results) and he does not deserve the general disdain/hostility he gets from people in this thread. Come on guys, we are not UK fans, we are better than this. nerdvana, Deserthoozier, CR3AMnCR1MS0N and 20 others 23 Quote

The article states they weren't just saying it either they meant it. We as fans gave him 3 years to get it together which should be noted just as much. After those 3 he did okay here. Definitely could have been worse. Those B1G titles kept our program towards the top 10 jobs so I thank him for that. Even without them we are probably still top 15-20 though. I wish him well in the future and think he will make Mizzou fans very happy. His time here has come to an end though. I just pray we can part without it getting messy. That is why I am begging him to take the Mizzou job lol. I think he is gone regardless, so I would rather him fall on his feet than his face.Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app Kepner and Tom White 2 Quote
