I agree, but they were down by 15 almost immediately.  It’s more than one player.  It was a trash effort.

Hoiberg had multiple middle school level turnovers.  Meah is so unathletic.  The only big man I’d take him over is Jordy.

This team isn’t good.  Occasionally a few of them get hot and we build hope.  I can’t imagine what would happen to this team if they had to play that A&M team that boat raced us in the tournament.

In general we are slow and don’t rebound.

I wasn't calling you out.  I too was adding.

Our basketball program is a disappointment and I'm tired of it.  I heard excerpts of his Fred's post game presser yesterday.  I think he used the term "mindless" when he talked about the team dribbling into pressure repeatedly.  I think he was talking about his own kid.  

I'm personally done with Fred.  We've found his ceiling.  I think he's done what he can do.  This team wins games because the huge fan support they have and not because it's a good program.  Some get excited about games like Northwestern.  That game was trash too.

This team has to win 2 of its final 4 to be on the bubble. Top 15 Michigan, at OSU… don’t hold your breath…… a Minnesota team that is playing well and has proven they can win on the road, and then rival Iowa who can get hot. I have ZERO confidence we will get 2. This past week was beyond pathetic. We played good for 15 min against a very undermanned NW team and looked worse last night. Don’t put in those type of performances and then be surprised if you end up getting bounced from the NIT

I'm not done yet, but we need more athleticism in our recruiting.  Sam hustles, but not a starter.  Worster & Unlis are just bad. 6 TOs in the 1st half by the ball handlers is just terrible.

We will have plenty of scholarships available next year.  Scholarships increase to 15 (from 13), there are six potential scholarship returnees (Mast, Essegian, Buyuktuncel, Griffiths, Frager & Janowski) and they signed one in November (Rhymes).  That leaves at least eight available.  If they can convince 1890 to spend some of the money that went to football players 106-150 on basketball players there should be plenty of money to go around to get some more athleticism.

So all of the road wins are due to fan support?  Have you even watched this year?

I see us winning some of the games because of Fred.  Imagine what he could do with more talent.

I am confident we win 2 more and make the tournament.  Might even win a tournament game or two of we stay healthy.   I guess time will tell.

Nope, that's not what I said.  We win more games than we should because of fan support. 

Be confident all you want.  This team can't win a game in the NCAA.  I'm tired of falling for it.

Why don’t you?

I said they win because of fan support.  You read we win every game because of fan support and then decided to create a narrative via “what about”.  Every game isn’t at home and we sometimes win games on the road!

Home games have been a significant advantage for this program for years.  In general that success is not matched on the road.  

The home performance is a significant positive portion of Fred’s horrible record.

I get your point but that isn't what you said.   The team deserves credit for winning some very challenging games away from the fan support.   

No fan is happy we lost last night.   However, that loss doesn't wipe out everything good that they have accomplished this year.  You can "Be done with Fred" but I believe you are going to miss some of the best times this program has ever seen.

I was at the game when we barely beat Bethune Cookman(11-15).  I watched the loss to St Mary’s.  They are a good team, but c’mon.

Lost Michigan State by 37

Lost to Indiana by 17

Lost to Purdue by 36

Lost to Wisconsin by 28

Down to Northwestern and Penn State by 20 or more.

Keep the faith brother.
