This loss is on you Marlin

[tank]

The fact that some coaches are rewarded year in and year out for rarely or never winning a championship is what is baffling.
Good luck next year .

Jay is wrong. And Bob doesn't floor giant killers... that's for sure. But this was a damn good season overall. Today sucked. Plenty of things to blame. I was starting to care more about these fine young men getting into the big dance more than my thoughts on Bob. I'm bummed for them.

I feel the same way. More disappointed for these players than for our program. They played a hard, tough and fun to watch brand of BB and were a joy to watch.

I have had a few hours to think about this and have calmed down.

Do y'all really think we would have won in the first round of the NCAA? Hell no.

What NCAA tournament worthy team have we beat? Every top 100 team we folded.

NIT maybe where we belong this year and maybe we get some victories in the NIT. When is the last time we won a NIT game? Much less a NCAA tourney game. Congrats to the team for winning the regular season championship.

Would be nice with our RPI to be rewarded with a home NIT game.

I wouldn't have bet against this Cajun team, if HEALTHY, as a 12 seed in the first round.

A 13 seed was probably likely as well but still don't think it would have been a route depending on the opponent. This is of course when the three point shot is falling for Cajuns.

Dude... what...

I guess I am trying to make us feel better. Just thoughts. Being that the university is going to stick w Marlin’s Mediocracy. I’ll embrace it selfishly in the NIT. Maybe it’s the beer talkin??
In all Seriousness, who really have we beat? Look at the schedule. We beat a bunch of bad teams.

That's the hard part Rick. Wasington, Stove, Bartley and others are stand up guys that deserved a better fate. The life lesson here is that we all fail at times, not just in sports. I hope it feeds their drive to be even more successful in the NIT and in life.

Marlin is a good coach. Can't blame him. Team had a great season.

[VObserver]

My expectations: At least one non conference home game a year vs a top 100 team. A conference regular season title not less than every other year. A conference tournament title not less than two years in five. At least 2 top 100 wins per year. A winning road and neutral site record against top 200 RPI opponents every year. At least 2 NCAA tournament wins per five year period. An at large worthy team at least once in 5 years.

Every one of those goals has been attained over the last 10 year period by MTSU. No valid reason we should be worse.

I’m not being a prisoner of the moment. This is one of the biggest losses in our history. This team could have won a game in the tourney, maybe 2. The money, exposure, brand awareness that we just lost is colossal.

Plus I really like these guys on a personal level. And I don’t think we’ll ever have a more complete team than this one was.

I don't see how y'all can be on here talking about marlins future and what not. It was heartbreaking seeing our players faces after the game, say what you want about how we didn't have a big time win this year but these kids busted their ___ and represented the university as men. I thought with Gant catching and unfortunate bug and stove obviously not healthy they gave their best. This had nothing to do with marlin it just some people have to always be negative to be happy. Am I disappointed we didn't make the tournament you damn right but we didn't lose to a donkey team and we weren't fully healthy which we were most of the year.
