The Tubby hire set this program back 10 years.

As much as I despised Tubby, he would have had us in the Tournament this year.

I think he may have gotten us there last year...If everyone stayed.

But this year would have been a sh1tshow if Tubby was still here.

Pearl would have been far better than what we have now

Just check Vegas

There was a window where we could've had Pearl. But we gave Opie a 2.5 million contract extension for Dellavadova missing a 3 in the tournament. And we're still paying for it.

Pearl would've had us in the Final Four by now.... top 10, year in, year out.

I can't argue with that. I'd have hated the hire initially but winning cures a lot of ill will. The man wins and is killing it at Auburn.

Didn't he bust 3 or 4 trey's today?

In the last 6 to 8 games how often has he done that? How often has he got up in the air and passed to nobody? How often has he bull rushed into the lane to stumble and fall?

He'll either learn some humility out of this failed season or he will risk being yet another failed experiment here within the next two-three years.

I would be willing to bet he learns from this season. No doubt he’s made mistakes. But I think he will be a great coach before he is done.

Its on the admin for not realizing that he wasnt a good HS/AAU coach and get him some help.

3 bad coaches in a row. Tiger basketball sinks further and further into the abyss

I hope so. The fate of Tiger basketball is wedded to his success at this point. His job is secure. We need desperately for him to learn and to adapt. The rumors about his stubbornness, though...

OMG. What a ******* stupid response. Penny was going to hire Larry Brown a HALL of FAMER to his staff.

Pretty easy. Wiseman, DJ, Malcolm. One gone, two injured. Then we lost both Lance and Precious to injuries during the game.

5 players missing. And really 6, if you count Ryan Boyce. We finished the game with 7 players, and 2 of those were Jayden and Maurice.
