hit the game winner for Tulane last night at Wichita State. Wave have improbably started 4-1 with wins over Memphis, Cincinnati, and Wichita State during that stretch. Cross himself has made a big jump this year. Averaging 14ppg 6reb 4ast on 55% FGs and 33% from deep. Happy for him.

We know for certain NU @ Michigan will no longer be on October 15- Penn State accidentally released their schedule and is playing at Michigan that day

Yes and no- end of the day losing is losing and I don’t think Scott has forgotten how to coach either. But he’s clearly having to reinvent himself this offseason as evidenced by the staff turnover, hiring guys outside his circle, 10 transfer guys, etc. Fred needs to look at his assistants and make a few decisions IMO. Gates works with the backcourt which is fairly redundant with Loenser’s experience. Add in that he is a holdover from the previous staff and he seems like an easy candidate to part with. As much as I like Doc- I don’t know how you can justify keeping him as your sole defensive game planner at this point. Our defensive schemes are outdated, we don’t rebound, and we don’t guard the 3. I think we defend screens terribly and frankly we give up transition buckets with ease too. It’s not pretty. Need some roster continuity this offseason from the guys that I’d expect to stick around like Andre, Wilcher, Edwards, etc. Walker and Verge will likely be gone plus Lakes, Trey, and Bryce (even though I think he should stay). Plug in holes with guys that truly fit schematically and maybe you can make a jump.

I agree with this but I don’t think all hope is lost with Fred. It’s similar to Scott at this point- he needs to reinvent himself to win in a new league with new styles of opponents and new types of players. I don’t think Fred Hoiberg forgot how to coach basketball overnight- he’s still one of the better offensive minds in the college game IMO- but he needs to do some serious soul searching in the offseason and think about what is going to be needed to win in modern day basketball moving forward.

I’m guessing they didn’t want to announce an extension when the AD was firing a bunch of employees during the beginning of the pandemic last year. Not a great look optically- same reason they pushed the football facility construction back a year.

Yes.

Kofi is going to score 40

I will be at the Wake Forest v Syracuse game at the same time so unable to watch the game. Will follow along on twitter- hopefully we get a good effort out of these guys
