I’ll take the Wenzel years in a second over this
What was Wenzel's lifetime record at RU? 128-135 That's with 7 of his 9 years in the rugged Atlantic 10! Losing records his last 5 years.
Want to go back to those storied contests against Duquesne, URI and GW??
In his first 7 years we played a total of 8 in conference games against ranked teams. That's about six weeks worth now. By the way we were 0-8 in those games.

The troll is the guy claiming we broke the NCAA streak when we clearly haven't yet.

For someone who likes to snipe a lot about alternative facts on the CE, COVID, and weather threads, he sure does employ them here a lot.

Why is Scott even watching the game? He isn't a real RU fan by his comments. He has not seen 19 practices like I did last season and see how hard Coach and the team works. I feel Scott needs to root for another team. It is easy to take shots at players and coaches when they are struggling. I don't want guys like him jumping back on the bandwagon if things get better.

We did not make the tournament last year, full stop. Numbers is being an idiot on this point.

That said, for purposes of evaluating Pike it should be as if we did make it last year. COVID is not a factor under his control.

We shouldn’t. He should give it back. Seems like a 18-1 at home flash in the pan.

Glad you get to watch practice. Doesn’t change the results. I’ve been watching RU basketball longer then you have been alive. This is some of the worst ever, certainly offensively. Everyone gets so upset when you criticize. Sorry to insult your son.

How many years does one decent season buy him then?
As long as it takes. Honestly, who would you replace him with that’s going to have half the success we’ve seen in the past couple of years? We’re not Duke, we’re competitive for the first time in ages and we’ll improve back toward the mean over the next couple of weeks.

We should be beating the number 9 team at home, especially when they play like **** and don't score for 7 minutes
Ideally yes. This was a winnable game. But that just reinforces what I was saying. None of our past 5 or so coaches would have the team at this level on a regular basis.

It’s a bad few weeks after an unreal few weeks to start the season. Things will level off.

What success did we have? We had 1 good season in the last 31

That's ridiculous. There is nothing structural about this place that makes it impossible to win, especially now.

I’m asking seriously. What makes you think things are going to change? Team is lost on offense, effort is waning on D, attitude sucks, team pouts and our best players are nonexistent. Please tell me what to be excited about. And Ohio St is an average B10 team. If we can’t beat them 1 of 2 we don’t deserve to be in top 10 of the conference.

I’d expect the funk Harper and Baker are in to hopefully change. Their awful play has been really what’s killed us.

Get paid millions to ultimately be Inder 500. This latest recruiting class is a dud.

Never said I excepted them to win. This team is literally incompetent right now. We are going stretches of 10-12 minutes without literally scoring a point and that is not an exaggeration. Just tell me what I should be excited about. Please. Tell me why I should trust him
1. We were a tournament team last year for the first time in 30 years.

That’s all you should need really. Outside of that it could be the development of Ron, JY, Geo over the years even though they’re down the past few weeks. You could point to being ranked pretty consistently over the past 15 or so weeks or games played. Landing 4 star recruits with regularity. Keeping together what I’d consider (mostly) a great coaching staff. But if you want another up and comer like Rice, that’s your choice.

That’s a foolish thought given the past 30 years.

Who are you replacing him with? Bonus points if you name both Hurleys as if they’d actually come this time, bring noticeable improvement, and stay long term.
