All on Haith. No one’s forcing him to play dudes that aren’t good. Every time we had our best players in we torched them, but our coach is never going to change who he is, so we didn’t ride them

Drawing up last play. "Just stand there and dribble for 17 of the 20 seconds... Don't try to run any plays... Then with 3 seconds left make move to basket and throw up a prayer...BREAK!"

It’s like the movie Groundhog Day, he just has a different group of players each season. Really difficult to understand why he can figure a lineup out that works prior to the start of the season and tweak it as needed. Geeezzzzz….

Once again Haith went to his go to play at the end of the game. Dribble until there is 2 or 3 seconds on the clock and throw up a prayer. That play hasn't worked in 7 years, but yet he still tries it.

Small crowd.

It doesn't matter. The Athletic Department has zero emphasis on improving its situation. It certainly looks like a quick fall to the Rice level for us. Good olympic sports and we'll be an after thought to the city if they even remember we exist.

I bought women's basketball tickets. Probably the last tickets I will buy from the school for a long time. Already send the AD emails to my spam because they are junk mail.

Another year of bad rotations, no idea how to properly cover the holes in our match up zone and Haith excuses. Hope Toby likes his years as a college coach with Haith because I doubt he ever sees another staff, but Haith seems to have settled in till retirement so he will probably have a job for a while. If only our AD forced the coaches to do thing that benefit the program or pay the consequences for failure.

At least we have a women’s team that seems driven to play defense and run a good offense.

This is going to hit that NET as a bad loss. I just pray they can stay out of a Q4 but I’m not holding my breath on that

Lol, sorry Loca I love your work and you do a great job. But this loss means we have zero shot at an at large with our schedule this year. Quad 4 or 3 doesn't matter too much when you have very limited shots at quad 1s

Thanks but I will have to disagree. If this ends up as an anomaly then it’s not going to keep us from an at large birth. Air Force is by far not the best Non conference game on our schedule. It’s game 2. Season isn’t over but I am ready for tomorrow though lol

Yep. By far not the best non conference game we have on the schedule so plenty of opportunities to right the ship

The problem is the committee heavily weighs bad losses (ones at home in particular) more than ok wins.

We have what one OOC quad 1 possibility?

In conference four to six and the committee showed with NC State a few years ago a bad OOC schedule (they didn't even have a bad loss) will get you punished even with a couple quad 1 conference wins.

We have become the equivalent of ORU our season will come down to three of four games in Ft. Worth in March. Everything else is just window dressing and likely ugly window dressing. There is definitely not an at large bid left in our schedule with a very likely 300+ NET home loss.

From what we’ve seen so far Quad wins and losses are going to be irrelevant. We’re bad right now and even if we do develop into a tourney level team it’s going to be so late in the season that we’ll have to win the conference tourney

When, has Frank ever righted the ship? I mean he’s tried to turn it as it sunk and he got close a couple times… but every season sans one driven by players he didn’t recruit his ship sank.
