Unpopular Opinion:
The game has passed up Coach Robe and there is nothing that we can do about it. In today's game you cant coach like you did 10-15 years ago.

Little man, you are by far the most delusional idiot on this board. It's incredible.Quote:

Regardless of your seed in the tournament, unless you finish between 7 and 10, you still need to win a minimum of 4 games in 1 weekend to win the auto bid.
We need to be seeded in the tournament to win it, obviously. Bottom two are out. The team needs a reason to show up an play hard (each conference weekend). Unfortunately, that is the only reason left.Quote:

We need to worry about making the conference tourney. That would be the first step

The team wants to make the conference tournament. Weekends are how that's done. Midweek games are now for getting inexperienced players up to speed. Sad but true.Quote:
