    Public reps. I was living in Kentucky at the time. You'd think I would have remembered that.

    This is significant. Couple that with what MANY PEOPLE here think is less than acceptable BE level talent to work with, you have a perfect storm. If the harsh criticism directed at our returning core 4 continues have merit, Coach is basically dealing with ALL FOUR YEARS of failed recruiting by CM. I mean what is being said about Q and the perception that Ty has a very limited skill set, our JR and SR classes are basically a bust....not to mention the failed freshman class.

    I strongly disagree with the negativity directed at our core 4 but aside from Zach, we are getting nothing of significance from the rest of the roster. We are breaking new ground here and Coach needs to be given all benefit of doubt.

    That’s awesome- Thanks for sharing!

    I was hoping (even posted about it a bit ago) that he would talk to the team. The perfect player to remind this team that they can still turn things around. He may be just the guy to push the right buttons to get this team playing together at a higher level, leaving it all on the floor.

    I could see him getting the core four fired up becasue they saw what he meant to and did for that elite eight team (even though Paul and Naji did not playing on it). I could also see him connecting with the 1 year transfers - players who are in the same situation he was - about the importance of stepping up now and leaving it all on the floor... because this is it for them.

    Hear me out. We beat Providence in a battle of last place teams, Creighton beats Seton Hall at home and SJU loses to Nova. Back within a game of 3rd place.

    Yeah it happens more than you think.

    Off top of my head Kentucky in 2013 (Robert Morris NIT game)

    Florida did it twice actually. 2014 Scottie Wilbiken year and 2008 where both Florida and Ohio St didnt get back to tournament after both making finals as 1 seeds

    Imagine St Joes too? I don't think they made tourney after Jameer and Delonte

    EDIT : Looked up St Joes yeah , they lost to GW (lol) the year after in A10 finals. Shoutout Pops Mensah Bonsu

    Pops!

    Was that the year GW was like 25-1 but only got an 8 seed because they had no good wins and the A10 was crap?

    Or maybe that was 2006 the next year when we won 4 in 4 to make it?
