    I wasn’t getting worked up but fyi the NAIA is a different league. Just like d3 and d2 are. I have friends who are being recruited for that. I thought we were just talking about division 1 basketball. In any case then they are one of 5 teams in the nation who get to end the year on a win. Still not “a lot” of teams. Very few get the chance to.

    There were alot of teams that won there last games. They just wern’t good enough to get in any tournaments.


    Just to end this…. Dougie said there were teams that ended their sesaon with a win, but were not good enough to get in any tournaments… that is not the case. They ALL were in tournaments if they ended with a win.

    Also everyone can’t be bagging on Tubby for the program. He has risen it from the ashes honestly. Don’t you guys remember how awful the teams were before he came. Now at least we have talent. Yea, some of his gameplan decisions are poor but we all need to wait until next year to start saying he needs to leave. Next year if Mbakwe stays which he should, and no one else transfers, this team will be a serious conference contender with all of the returning players and now having experienced guards.


    A serious conference contender?

    Certainly stronger with Mbakwe, but I think Indiana, Michigan, Ohio State, and yes even Wisconsin might have something to say about that…

    I think it’s an embarrassment that they can’t make a field of 68 teams. (NCAA) The U is paying for a big time coach to run a big time program. Instead they have a coach running a DII program waiting to collect his retirement. I’m sure he had a bonus built into finishing 70th in the country. Now we can look forward to the push for a new practice facility (several million dollars) for our 70th ranked D1 basketball team.

    As far as getting pounded by Stanford last night? Didn’t watch a minute of it so I really have no opinion.

    They were 23-15 including their 4-1 record in the NIT.
    They were 6-12 in the Big 10.
    Which means they were a whooping 13-2 in non-conference!
    So, you take a 13-2 record into the Big 10 where you get pounded around like the Packers of the 70’s & 80’s. Then you get back into playing the sisters of the poor in the NIT and you get to win 4 more games.

    Yippee…….lets give Tubby a $250,000 bonus and give him a new contract for $2.5 mil for about 4 years.

    I feel sorry for the kids. Tubby isn’t recruiting and then he isn’t coaching the kids who do stay.
