Tell me about it. Where was all our depth?

Seriously alot went wrong, and all i see is we cut the lead to four so were fine.

No, the goal is to win. Cutting the lead to four was not fine. Why would you think that.

Seems a few around here like moral victories.

No one goes into any game looking forward to a "moral victory". It exists only AFTER losing a game to attempt to put the best possible positive face on the game moving forward. In this instance, it is to move on to the next season, and can be better than alternative negative descriptions of the game.

Please point out anyone who this year claimed a moral victory. First, moral victories only come after losses and there were very few of them.
Second, every loss UAB suffered this year, no one found anything to salvage out of them.

The only moral victories anyone on this board had were you and tibber when UAB almost lost a game or played badly in a victory.

Oops morale victories because we beat 250 plus rpi teams. Heck some want victories over WKU because of what we've learned lately. Hell i couldve told you after Auburn this wasnt a tournament team and it showed all season.

Let's see how MTSU does before we say our league is crap.
Don't think they will beat MSU, however, I think they can.
Maybe MTSU gets it done. Nobody gave us much of a chance last year.

MTSU wins!

Will some school hire Dee already? Hell, two for one. He already knows more than both your football AND basketball coach.

Disappointing, yes, but not a waste by a long shot. Anything that helps increase interest in UAB athletics right now is a big plus. The ending kinda sucked but attendance was up and we won for the home folks all season. Student interest and participation was also noticeably improved.

UAB people are working as hard as they can to get the whole department turned around. I just want to see our basketball team work that hard all the time on the court too. If they do, we'll back back in the Dance next year.

Waste.


Losses to AU,BYU, VT, and Illinois dont excite me and we have the same holes next year.

The 26 wins excited me....

Yeah beating and losing to the sisters of the poor is exciting times.
I guess MTSU and SFA are sisters of the poor.

We have 3 wins over teams in the round of 32. Not many teams can say that.

Why does Dee have such a chip on his shoulder?
Sounds like he got stabbed in the back.

The Florida trip after not having Tosin was an excuse.
