No 8th place or below team in the American has ever had better than a .500 record, and we were picked to finish below that by everyone, as far as I can remember.

Huh?

Your boy Joe1 predicted a 25 win season.

I went through the schedule and predicted 19 or 20 wins.

As of right now, I remain correct.

The rest of the bolded stuff is just ignorant speak, a team can certainly have a losing conference record and still have an overall winning record.

And my predictions are on this board, not hard to find.

You guys are acting like beating NKU is some sort of accomplishment. They have one player taller than 6'6, they were third in the Horizon last year, and our "pat ourselves on the back moment" is that they didn't get destroyed in the the NCAA tourney LAST year. (even though they did lose OOC games to UNC-Central and APSU).

Here is a quote from a Kentucky article praising how good the Norse were last year in the NCAA tourny. They may not be world beaters but this was still a good win.

"Friday’s slog with the Norse (24-11), who were making their March Madness debut, was anything but a classic. Kentucky (30-5) led by just two points with seven minutes left in the first half and by only seven with two minutes to go in the game. If not for a combined 36 points by De’Aaron Fox and Isaiah Briscoe and a monster rebounding night from Bam Adebayo, NKU might’ve really scared the Final Four hopefuls."

Ok?

UK was up 14 at the half. The lead stayed double-digits and was as much as 18 with 5:53 to go in the game. It was an 11 point game with 71 seconds left.

Again, NKU only made the tourney because they won the Horizon tourney. They lost games to the likes of Austin Peay and UNC-Central, and lost to WVU by 30+.

The idea that people are trying to fluff up NKU to make a last second win seem like Tubby is doing a remarkable job is sad.

If this were Pastner, we'd be outraged.

I'd also be calling into question Tubby's substituting.

The Nickel's minutes: 3, 11, 3, 23. That is Pastner-esque in terms of giving a player no idea what to expect.

A victory over NKU alone does not mean Tubby has met the standard set by Dr. Rudd. Tubby must produce results meeting or exceeding the standard and he has not done it yet and there is little evidence to date he will do it in the future.

Di you really call a victory over a top 125 RPI team noteworthy! Have we really sunk this low? Has Tubby lowered our expectations to this point? Surely not!

My expectations have not been lowered one centimeter.

“Basketball guru” 03-lmfao I love it.

Some of these gurus said Davenport sucked.

Huh?

You gave us the crack scouting report after the L-O game and predicted a 25 win season.

And link to "Davenport sucked?"
I didn’t bring your name up, didn’t mention you. Congratulations you outed yourself. You must consider yourself a basketball guru. I’m fairly confident that someone here has the “link” to you saying Davenport sucked.

As for my “crack scouting report”, I was right about Davenport, Johnson, and Nickleberry. As of right now I’m wrong about Brewton but I don’t think I will be long term. As for my prediction of the record, I have posted that I mainly wanted to go out on a limb with our win total and be different than everybody else with a more hopeful and optimistic outlook.
I think we basically have 12 to 13 hard/tough games. I have us winning half of those. Maybe I will be wrong. So the hell what. Most all of you guys have us losing all of those 12 games, or winning only one. If you’re right, I’ll congratulate you.

Everyone here isn’t fluffing up this win. It’s a nice win. Not a great win.

I agree with the way Tubby is substituting. However, we are only a few games in. If he continues with inconsistency of minutes played for Nickleberry and Johnson you most definitely have a valid point. I’d be playing Johnson and Nickleberry 30 minutes a game. I’d be playing for tomorrow. The more those freshmen play today the quicker they become real contributors for next season and beyond.

Gee, when you are giggling emoji at the post that mentions the "southern illinois" poster...

And how are you "right" about Nickeberry? He's averaging 2 ppg and Tubby's only let him play any real minutes in one game?

Johnson is the second best three-point shooter at 27%.

I’m right about Nickleberry and Johnson because I said Johnson could shoot. And he can. I was right about Nickleberry saying he has good skills. He has good court vision and makes things happen. Both are good young players that can/may end up being really good D1 players.

You didn't exactly say he sucked.

You said he would have trouble adjusting to D1 basketball and wouldn't average over 15 minutes per game.

And you questioned his 4 star rating by 247.

It's on the recruiting forum. I can look it up. Pretty sure it's buried in the Davenport thread.

I'll find it.

You are being outnumbered by positive posters so stop trying to gain support. Like Joe said, who cares if all are wrong. Were you bullied as a kid and have so much of insecurity? It sure seems like it.

I’d be playing for tomorrow. The more those freshmen play today the quicker they become real contributors for next season and beyond.

Which one transfers first?

Odds are at least one will.

You are being outnumbered by positive posters so stop trying to gain support. Like Joe said, who cares if all are wrong. Were you bullied as a kid and have so much of insecurity? It sure seems like it.

Go Tigers

Gopher Tubby with the Dr. Phil moment.

Your boy Joe1 predicted a 25 win season.

I went through the schedule and predicted 19 or 20 wins.

As of right now, I remain correct.

The rest of the bolded stuff is just ignorant speak, a team can certainly have a losing conference record and still have an overall winning record.

And my predictions are on this board, not hard to find.

You guys are acting like beating NKU is some sort of accomplishment. They have one player taller than 6'6, they were third in the Horizon last year, and our "pat ourselves on the back moment" is that they didn't get destroyed in the the NCAA tourney LAST year. (even though they did lose OOC games to UNC-Central and APSU).

Here is a quote from a Kentucky article praising how good the Norse were last year in the NCAA tourny. They may not be world beaters but this was still a good win.

"Friday’s slog with the Norse (24-11), who were making their March Madness debut, was anything but a classic. Kentucky (30-5) led by just two points with seven minutes left in the first half and by only seven with two minutes to go in the game. If not for a combined 36 points by De’Aaron Fox and Isaiah Briscoe and a monster rebounding night from Bam Adebayo, NKU might’ve really scared the Final Four hopefuls."

Ok?

UK was up 14 at the half. The lead stayed double-digits and was as much as 18 with 5:53 to go in the game. It was an 11 point game with 71 seconds left.

Again, NKU only made the tourney because they won the Horizon tourney. They lost games to the likes of Austin Peay and UNC-Central, and lost to WVU by 30+.

The idea that people are trying to fluff up NKU to make a last second win seem like Tubby is doing a remarkable job is sad.

If this were Pastner, we'd be outraged.

I'd also be calling into question Tubby's substituting.

The Nickel's minutes: 3, 11, 3, 23. That is Pastner-esque in terms of giving a player no idea what to expect.

Everyone here isn’t fluffing up this win. It’s a nice win. Not a great win.

Odds are always high. You see how many kids transfer every year?

Buzz kill. You are one depressing dude....

Haha. If you are choosing to be depressed over message board banter, that's on you.

I'm simply noting (maybe it was you or some other Tubby guy) that was quick to point out that transfers are commonplace and expected and coaches shouldn't be held to the fire for transfers.

So, with that said, it would seem logical to think one of the three frosh won't be here as a junior. (statistically speaking)

I’m not depressed... it sounds like you are. We win a game and you cry like a baby about how bad we are. Do yourself a favor and fold the tent this year. You aren’t going to be satisfied.

I’m not a Tubby guy, just a life long Tiger fan. Just makes sense that I hope Tubby succeeds (since that means that Memphis is winning).

Transfers happen a ton these days. We’ll probably have some, and it may be better for the team in the long run. Depends who they are and how much they’re expected to contribute. So it’s very possible for one of the freshman will transfer. I am optimistic about Johnson and Nickleberry (not sure about Enoh yet), but neither is Derrick Rose.

Now
139 Memphis 3-1

Shows what a big win against the mighty Northern Kentucky Norse Men can do! I don't think we can break even in conference play, but if we do, we most likely won't have a losing record this season.

What a buzz kill! Why not just enjoy the win?

Really. I'll tell you one ramification. When those three freshmen, who logged more minutes and a couple of whom seemed to finally wake up, are upperclassmen, we might actually be pretty good. We just need to sign a few more like them next time. And if Azab is at least as good as Chad, this team may win a few more that nobody (including me) expected.

Johnson and especially Nickelberry along with the juco player Davenport are going to be key players for us. I'm impressed by them.

I know this is based on a projection, but looking at the individual matchups, I don't see how an 11-3 record is out of the question ...

I still think the team is an unknown commodity, I see 2 90+% chance of losses, Cinci and Louisville.

UAB is going to be tough, it's a rival, and on the road, but it's 50/50.

Mercer ... yeah, we could lose, but it's not like they are world beaters, their best win is over Liberty.

Albany is 6-0, kudos to them, but Holy Cross and SUNY Oneonta aren't exactly Duke and UNC. Again, we could lose, but I wouldn't put it over 50%. I'd actually think Memphis ends up favored.

LSU ... they look like a decent team, beat Michigan, got their doors blown off by Notre Dame and lost to Marquette by 10, but it is at home, probably 40%.

Not that I would bet on 11-3, but I wouldn't just flatly rule it out. I think there is a much stronger chance we are 9-5 than 7-7.

I wish we had a crew of 5* studs boat racing teams, but we don't; I'm at least happy to have guys that bust their asses.

Ima let the season play out, re-evaluate, and cheer on the team. It could be a disaster or a pleasant surprise ... stay tuned.

Quality.

Miserable..

Dude, you are unbelievably negative. No one is acting like we beat Duke, but they did come back from a 16 point deficit and beat a team that made the NCAA tourney. It’s better than losing!

We’ve played a weak schedule for years. You act like it’s something new.

Check out my response to Stammers. they are a crap team any way you shake it. Great that we won, but that doesn't change anything about this team. We will get 20 wins because our schedule puts us in an easy position to get 20 wins over cupcakes.

Would you prefer we only get 10 wins against higher quality teams? At this stage of the game? C'mon...

Di you really call a victory over a top 125 RPI team noteworthy! Have we really sunk this low? Has Tubby lowered our expectations to this point? Surely not!

uh, yes. we are laid low. it couldn't have been scripted any better.
