What happens if we finish below .500?

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

Until yesterday I never would have entertained that as a possibility. But now I do. And if we finish below. 500, Pike’s seat is gonna get very, very toasty.
That’s how down I am right now.

Nothing. Nothing happens to anyone for multiple years unless there are like scandals or Eddie Jordan's last year level failures.

But also we aren't going to finish below .500.

Pike keeps his job but Major pressure to win next year....

Which, considering recruits would avoid us like the plague and folks like Dortch, Grant and Sommerville would likely leave, is not likely.
Let's hope I'm soooooo wrong.

Pike and B Knight should switch places

no one , after the first five games and yesterdays massive clusterbeep, can be that sure.

About which part?

I'm sure nothing is going to happen because Pike is under contract until like 2030 unless I am mistaken and there is no chance we are eating more than like 1-2 years of that barring something weird happening beyond just mediocre basketball.

If you mean about finishing under .500 well yeah I wouldn't bet my life on it or anything I just don't think we will.

As it looks right now, there is a better than 50% probability we finish blow 500. Mostly due to our rebounding or lack of it!

A strong performance would help, game 6 coming up and we’re still waiting.

This team has shown the same weaknesses in the first 5 games against mid major opponents. We have allowed several mid major players to be the best player on the floor in multiple games, when we have 2 first round picks. That is the thing that has me worried.
Now, we go to a tournament with no cupcakes and 1 day of practice. I am very concerned that we go 0-3. If we do, and are at 4-4, I don't see a realistic path to make the tournament.

Certainly don’t want to lose 3, but you can actually play well and get excited about B1G Ten play after losing.
Believe it or not, losing the right way is actually a thing.
I don’t know if we’re capable of it, game 7 coming up… we shall see if we play a brand of basketball we all know can compete in the B1G, it will be pretty obvious imo.
