Lower than Wooly
Lower than Asbury
I think the original post was in response to a particular loss. In another sense, going ten Asbury/Wooly years without making the tourament could be considered the "lowest point".
I agree. The macro was much worse back then. This team actually reminds me of wooly's later teams. You can see there is talent on the team with the individual players but there's very little hope that they will see their potential with the current staff. That 2006-07 team had enough talent to be more than a bit team but Huggins only had the one year with them. The 2005, '06, and '07 teams were all good enough to make the tournament, none did because that staff hampered their growth.
Yep, these seasons are awful and the record compared to history speaks for itself.
However, the facilities are pretty good and any reasonable coach can see a program 2 years removed from a league title and overall with 9 NCAAs, 2 Elite 8s and 2 league titles in the last 15 years.
I'm just not sure the money to fire/hire a good replacement is going to be there this year at this point.
