You are absolutely correct, no comparison whatsoever. This is the first year I have not attended a game since that era, even with access to free tickets for season. This is a shell of a once proud program.

What?

So what if we beat Georgetown and Marquette back in the day?

You mean to tell me you don't want to watch us beat the likes of Loyola-New Orleans and Prairie View now?

Ross Cook was on ESPN 1420. He’s a delight.

It's not a violation if they don't call it.

Sports' biggest weakness: It teaches you to be dishonest.

I didn’t attend a home game this year either due to Marlin’s arrogant comments with no evidence to back it up.

Agree with you. At same time, tv dictates there is no way in hell we’d be invited to any tournament with the line up the Great Alaskan Shootout 30+ years later.

True, but we weren't on TV in that tournament at the time either. What is our average RPI over the past 5 seasons? I don't think that get's you invitations either to such tournaments.

That’s what I’m saying. ESPN nor the Big East the beasts they became. The Hawaii tournaments and P5 conference challenges are the new norm.

Which leads me to baseball. Baseball today is where basketball was in mid 80’s with a changing landscape. It’s a lousy time to be in a down cycle. Past rep doesn’t matter.

[DieHard1280]

how does that change the fact that those 2 newcomers can at least equal the numbers/production lost by Grants graduation? players dont play 40 mins a game on the regular.

I understand players don't play 40 minutes per game, that was my point. If combined, they average what Gant did in the same amount of minutes he played then your have a valid point. If combined, they require more minutes to equal what he did, then it's not necessarily.

[Tell The Truth]

if will wade was the coach at usl...the statue of him would be being built already...that's how they do it in laffy-ette...

[CajunEXPRESS]

Well this gets complicated as Gant took minutes off for rest and fouls. I’m pretty sure the original idea was two guys playing his position equaling or surpassing Gant and whoever filled in. That could become a tar baby
