Wow. Look what happens when good players get to just play basketball instead of worry about distractions.

BTW, this board crucified Woodson last year.

Congrats to them

UCLA would drill UC

Had the team Memphis could have had stayed together, under a coach like Tubby then Memphis would be in the top 15 and in the NCAA Tourney right now. Recruiting would have taken care of itself.

I'm not defending Tubby because he knew what Memphis was/is when he took the job. He should have known he was going to have to work hard his first 2-3 seasons to make it work and then he could have settled down and just coached because a winning Memphis program gets the players it needs without having to work too hard on the recruiting trail. However, a lot of the problems you see right now were due to mass transfers, and filling holes with players who should not be playing high level D1 basketball. At least not in key roles.

The majority of that is on Josh, Tubby get's a little bit of it but there weren't many players he could have added to help with this season. NIT, maybe NCAA bubble team but it wouldn't have fixed the overall problem. Memphis needs a complete rebuild.

He had the longest Final Four drought of any UK coach. Was he short on talent there too? Whose fault was that? I'm not on the beating up Tubby Train. He is who he is. The talent level will not change. Tubby DOES NOT play the game. I don't want to defend Josh AT ALL. But pleased don't blame Josh for Tubby's results forever.

Cinci may not get there, for that matter UCLA may not get there. Strange things happen in tournament time.
