We play home games in 2 different arenas .

We don't develop consistent bigs because we don't have consistent guard play.

We have no idea how to set screens and can not seem to teach it.

Our Athletic Dept does not put forth a systematic plan to promote the growth of the University's sports. What gives the fans hope for the future?


We have a coach that seems to be phased out. He will stand up for his players but he's a puppet at this point. He has no ability to take ownership for his transgressions.


To get back to where we were start over. Distance yourself from the brand and start new. We aren't the big dogs in the Big East anymore . The sooner we realize this the quicker the transition to relevance can begin. We can't sell that brand anymore so develop a new plan.

Put an exciting brand of basketball on the court with a coach that TEACHES and DEVELOPS the players. Play in 1 Arena and sell it out. Make it happen, AD.

Distance yourself from one of the most succesful brands of the last 25 years? Ok. I'm guessing you're not a marketing guy.

A brand that got that way playing in two different home arenas.

We've played some great games at the XL like that last Big East Syracuse matchup but I have to admit - every time I see a big game at the XL I'm just not so pumped as if it were played at Gampel. Feels like a smaller, more intimidating court for the away team to come in and feel the heat like that glorious upset vs number 1 Texas years ago. Make Gampel all season happen please!

Be sure to throw out those 4 NC banners while we're at it. Let's toss out the bath water and the baby!

If only it were that easy. Sid Wilson, Kinojo, a healthy Gilbert, will make KO a better coach. If not, then he goes!

I just have the feeling that Kinojo will be invisible for us next year.

With our APR scores being so good, maybe we can rebrand as the Bookworms. Imagine how that would look at half court

Olliesm-“Snowshoes don’t hibernate we acclimate”
Or one of our favorites
“We are four feet on the snow as our large feet won’t allow us to sink in so we can move around and hop easier”
Lets have our three fans do a whiteout in honor of the snowshoe hare!!!

Im sorry to say and dont mean to offend anyone here but when you watch the Carolinas, Kansas, Kentucky and Dukes of the world their first 4 rows around the court arent filled with a bunch of geriatrics with their grand kids.
