That's why I think they're in a pickle. They went with the wrong Cuse guy who hadn't been a head coach the first time and it's going to influence them not picking McNamara who IMO is going to end up being really good at another major program. According to their fanbase they're going to end up with Hodgson who only has 1 more year of head coaching experience and has yet to book a tournament bid.
sounds like the other hurley would be a good fit....
You're on record over and over saying the freshman class for next season sucks.
I mean... Texas Tech and UNC already did.
Are you going to be at MSG this week? I know a great spot we can score some crack.
I'm sorry, did UConn NOT beat St Johns ?
Why? He's got 2 years of head coaching experience.
Almost certainly. Santa Clara is absolutely worthy of an at large bid. Certainly moreso than some of the luke warm teams like Auburn, Oklahoma, Indiana, Cincinnati, etc.
Man, I can't WAIT for the upsets to come.......there are so many receipts from this clown
Yeah, at some point there has to be some kind of adjustment made... I guess. I mean sure, not getting blown out by high quality teams probably tells you something. Oregon managed to only lose to Michigan by 10, and Purdue by just 4, but I don't think you can expect every lesser team in your conference to lose by 30 to every good team.
Even in a vacuum I think it’s a bad idea. He might be a good coach, but what a huge risk for any high major program to take right now. One good year in a bad conference where his program outspends everyone else. He could easily be Kim English at the high major level if he got a job right now.
Follow the money. It's not going to get better. It's going to become less variable.
Crazy they'll get as many bids as the BE.
Interesting results in that each league's highest rated team by KenPom all won their conference tourney. Wonder if that will hold true for the MAC and Akron....
I assume you mean the Ohio team. Unlikely. Their "story" is nice, but they're not really that good.
Indeed. I mean, what is it that would hypothetically happen with Sophomores Andre Jackson and Adama Sanogo now as compared to three years ago ?? I find it quite a bit less likely that two players like that would elect to leave UConn as sophomores today than they were in 2022.
GMac has (literally) infinitely more coaching experience than Autry, who was not a college head coach before getting hired at Syracuse.
His post makes no sense, it was just another time where another bizarre thought popped into his head on how he could take a swipe at UConn.
And at some point you have to acknowledge how bad the other team really is. They got Ohio by 2 in OT and that team is awful.
This is not true. Merrimack was higher than Siena, Belmont was higher than UNI, St Thomas was higher than NDSU, Navy was higher than both BU and Lehigh playing tonight for the autobid
He doesn’t have infinitely more coaching experience. He has 2 years more head coaching experience. That also doesn’t really contradict my point that he has a really small amount of experience to get a high major job and is a pretty big risk for a program that can’t really afford that risk right now IMO.
Because I like when Michigan loses.
It simply looks like another sport these days. A watered down MM is going to have zero chance against teams with multiple first rounders on them.
I get going away from the Cuse family especially after hiring Autry blew up in their face but I would go for a serious proven high major winner if that's the case, not an inexperienced head coach in Bryan Hodgson.
