i think a shakeup on the coaching staff is definitely needed if we don't make the tourney again, not tang, but an assistant for sure
yeah I’m not saying burn it down either. there’s just no excuse for what we saw last night, none.
more troubling for me is that we saw these same weaknesses in last year’s team and chalked them up to a variety of reasons, my own theory last season was that TP was playing out of position and then some weird injuries never really let the team gel.
maybe what we are seeing is that some coaches have adapted to the portal era and others haven’t.
we played like crap in a game over a 40 game season against a team good enough to beat our asses, it's going to happen again too, I'm confused as to why it HAS to be more than that. I mean at one point in the second half we were shooting under 30%, what else is supposed to happen when you do that against another high major?
why you’re acting like last season didn’t happen is a mystery to me. i’ve repeatedly said that what was last night was last season, it’s cool if you don’t agree w me but it’s true.
Am I supposed to think a nit season after an elite 8 is enough to throw myself in front of a truck? I do not expect our basketball program to make the NCAA tournament every season. If in a five year period we play in 3 NCAA tournaments, one whatever the new Big 12 Vegas not thing and one miss the post season entirely, with competing for a conference championship at least once every five years, essentially what OU has been our entire lives, I'd be fine with that. If the only standard of happiness with this program is making the NCAA tournament every year, I might as well stop watching.
and you’re here accusing others of bad faith strawman arguments
no one is suggesting anyone throw themselves in front of a truck. what I am saying is that thursday wasn’t an isolated incident. it was more of what we saw last year. that this could be a problem, and that the staff could be mishandling the players on a completely “rebuilt” roster if this trend continues.
what you’ve said is that it’s just one game and we’re more of a team that’s built to go toe to toe with the likes of the one number one team in the country and we just aren’t built right to not get throttled at home against programs like the 40th ranked LSU tigers who were picked to place 14th in their league
every coach in the country relies on exploiting match ups, it’s not like we’re any different. what we saw from this team on thursday has nothing to do with being a team of “tweeners”.
it was lack of hustle, lack of discipline, lack of commitment, this all comes from coaching, has nothing to do with the other crap
