Making the tournament this year/literally just not getting fired going forward, because that’d be quite the win for this program. 

I’m fine with that. Making the tourney was my preseason goal. 
 

otoh, a week ago we were a projected 7 seed. Missing the tourney would be a bit of a black eye. More so than i originally thought.

No chance he gets fired but this year will start the cycle he can’t dig out of.  Kinda like Archie missing Romeo’s year 
 

Yawn.

Absolutely. No good reason this team should miss the tournament this year from a roster construction or midpoint of the season outlook standpoint.

We’ll know more after these next three games. 
 

Can’t afford to lose to Maryland and Rugters at home. Those are now must wins. Our remaining road games will be brutal.

There’s one coaching decision that will bother me a lot if it doesn’t happen after watching this game.

Galloway and Geronimo need to be starting and playing full minutes. They are worlds better than Stewart and Kopp.

Damn straight.

We just simply aren’t good. I don’t know who to blame. Lots of blame to go anywhere. Everyone deserves some.

We get down 6-8 points in a second half. ITS OVER! We have zero offense and shooting to spring a comeback. It’s an incredibly depressing gameplan and roster. Very predictable on offense. Apparently Leal can’t even shoot well. Galloway from 3 is a prayer. Kopp can’t do much of anything. Race tries. Only reason we were even alive is Northwestern was 1-14 from 3 and we still couldn’t spread a lead. North-freaking-western. And heck, I predicted this loss even. Hate being proven correct every season. Want my forecast for next season?

Your such a hater.

We had 6 players.

Parker and Kopp are in there to stretch the floor. If they’re not contributing, then yes, it’s not good. 
 

We might as well be grooming Trey and Jordan as much as possible coming up, they should both be starting next year as some of these players move on.

I don't think the next three games are must wins. If we steal one then it'll help. We need to square things up and get those wins against Rutger, Maryland at home and Minny on the road.

We’ll likely never know but I’m curious how egregious of an offense these guys made for Woodson to sacrifice this team’s tourney hopes for. Can confidently say that there are plenty of coaches that wouldn’t have done that

We match up well with them. And it’s home. It’s literally the game we need to win to be a tourney team (we’re a 9-11 seed now). 
 

I don’t have confidence we win tho. 

Unless Phinisee comes back full strength, I’m not seeing that. Our only advantage is the crowd and they have been seasoned for that this year.

We have not sacrificed our tourney hopes.

Baseball is currently cancelled so I borrowed it.

The amount of posters on here that think certain posters who are on here for years just to be trolls or don't like iu is shocking!

One last post before I hit the hay. 
 

Thank you Tom Ostrom for Trey Galloway and Jordan!
