We're really relitigating the Arkansas game? My gosh.

The 1984 loss with Mullin to Niagara needs its own thread next.

Maybe he didn’t “quit” but he certainly didn’t follow the script or play well.

Speaking of quitting, I think the team can turn it around. But I don’t see the point guard situation getting fixed to the point that I have severely lowered my expectations. I think we should make tournament again but 8/9 or 7/10 game. I know not what we had hoped for but that ship has sailed.
Making tournament 2 years in a row around here is reason to celebrate. My fear is when Rick realizes that is the ceiling for this team he will do everything he can to draw criticism from him and there is a danger whole thing gets sandbagged like what he did with first team and what he did in the Arkansas game by blaming a player or players.

Why? Easy fix RECRUIT A POINT GUARD.

Mullin should have been benched!

Simply put......... too much talent and too many pieces to not figure out a way to win at a very high level !!

I definitely think and expect they make tourney. There is a range out outcomes and I won’t predict but I think your scenario is a downside one. Better is likely.
