Lot of catastrophizing going on here. Did we think we were going to the Final Four this year? We all knew it would be tough with 9 new players and a new coach.

I hated these losses as much as anyone but I’m not ready to fire Brannen by any stretch. Let’s reserve judgment until we get past Christmas, shall we?

I predict we’ll be pleasantly surprised with the progress heading into March. No idea if we will make the tourney or not but I bet next year at this time we’ll be feeling pretty good.

Bottom line, coaching changes are hard.

Final 4? No. But I thought they'd look like a solid team. The other AAC coaches voted them 3rd in the preseason. They voted Jarron the preseason POY. Let's not pretend that their struggling was a forgone conclusion.
