We lost to P5 teams back then too. I think people are overestimating how good Evan’s teams were. There were lots of meh years. And the years where we were exceptional our RPI was in the 60’s-80’s which is right where we finished last year.
I too miss the days where the dome was packed and loud. It’s not Marlin’s fault that the fans don’t show up and get loud like they used to. That’s on us.
We do not have big boy basketball. Big boy basketball was in the 1970s and some in the 1980s. Did not keep the tradition going
22 I'll take it
Got to shoot better than 39% and play better defense. UT is a top 10 team, but we’re striving for more than the NIT. We’ve got to compete.
Geez, Some of you guys love this kind of basketball..
NCAA or Bust
So how we feeling about the basketball?
It’s the annual discussion, no biggie. One camp thinks the coach is horrible, the schedule is either too soft or we should be competing with #1 Kansas and #6 Tennessee (Alabama and Oklahoma for football equlivants). Another camp longs for the days of Marty and Jessie with an occasional marquee win. Then there’s the camp that remembers Blackham and beating #1 Georgetown, Kansas, Michigan State, etc and those days are not coming back because the deck is stacked thanks to ESPN and the P5 plan. And some simply like basketball. Cut and paste for next year.
