Probably time for Huggs to retire. Maybe they can take Travis off Xavier’s hands for MOR.

I cant stand mack as much as anyone but 2 freshmen are in the 9 man rotation. I'm sure the others saw the roster and realized they probably were going to sit most of their first year.
I do think it's funny how.much praise mack gets on espn telecasts. I dont see it, the guy still cant win when faced against equal talent.
Louisville’s players suddenly heard that Mack was leaving for another job, and then their double digit lead just evaporated.
I saw this in another forum, and I thought you'd enjoy it. Actually, all of us who lived through the Huggins years in Cincinnati can relate.

I think that’s the problem...when things go south...Huggs never takes true ownership....always the players fault. He’s tried taking jabs or sending messages through the media with this team...has it worked!? No, maybe they need to know that when times get tough the coach will take the hits...not open up his players to them and actually join the crowd in blaming them.

"I don't think they've been in the gym as much as they used to be. I think a lot of it is my fault. I hear about saving their legs, saving their legs.I used to ignore that and I probably should now. We practiced for four hours at Cincinnati. Every day, and there were no days off. ...They never complained about not having any legs..... I just told them in there about Kobe (Bryant) and the work he did. I heard Larry Bird worked four hours a day. I know how much work Michael (Jordan) put in.... and those guys play 82 games.... So don't sit in there and tell me you aspire to be a pro. That's a joke."
This is a perfect example of taking blame while not taking any blame at all. He blames himself for because he should have made them work like Kobe Bryant? Every other coach in America seems to be able to pull it off without running guys into the ground. He appears to be so out of touch with reality.

Would you be motivated to play for this guy?
Like you .... I think that Huggs is seriously overestimating how much capital he has built up with the fans. He is much closer to exhausting the fans goodwill than he thinks.
Reminds me a lot of a certain Huggins disciple coaching at UCLA to be honest..
I think you could just change the names and play Cronin bingo.
Wake beating Duke doesn’t hurt
2021 5 star PG Khristian Lander, thought in IU circles to be a Louisville lean, commits to the Hoosiers out of nowhere last night and now lots of momentum behind a reclass to 2020. You hate to see it for Mack.
Our UConn win is starting to look better. probably won't get up to a Q1 win by season's end unless they win their conference tournament, but they're playing well right now
