Why do I feel like this team is buying in just in time for NIT consideration
King they won one on a Hail Mary
- Thread starter Horseshoe04
- Start date
And Clemson just lost at the end of the game on an old school 3 point play, so double bonus.
If we had been playing 40 game seasons we would have won at least 2 Nattys.
If it's Up To The Pope, The Coach Still Has Hope!
If it's anything like Burger Beer, which they used to serve on draught at The Big Bird, it's nasty - which sounds like Natty. Natty is a contemptible term for the national championship.

Regardless how you feel about Frank Martin, this was great to see... This could kick start the team to win a game or two in the SEC tourney...
Martin's teams seem to always play their best at the end of the season. I don't know that the schedule matches up well for a run the last five games though. We'll see.
Because they know that the chances of that shot going in are closer to none than anything. 9/10 - we're going to double OT.
In the W/L numbers game we are more closely positioned for the NIT than the NCAAT. I'm at my annual ho hum thoughts for anything miraculous occurring.
They ought to start earlier if they're serious about it. Still, it's remotely possible.
Remotely possible..yes. I wouldn't be placing any bets on this team right now with the schedule that they have left.
Because this is the same time of year that Martin's teams almost always make us think there's a chance. But it's almost always fool's gold.
We'll rarely suck under Martin. His defenses will always be good enough to keep us around .500 in conference play. But his offenses will always be bad enough to keep us around .500 in conference play. Throw in a few ugly early-season non-conference losses EVERY SINGLE YEAR, and it means we'll almost always be a team that _flirts_ with the bubble with 5 or 6 games left in the season, only to come up short of the tournament.
I'm still hoping for a miracle finish to this season, but I should know better by now.
It should always be about the kids. Somewhere on here we’ve lost our compass.
Frank knows what he can recruit & how to get the best out of them.
Some here would luv if we dug up John wooden & propped him up in a court side seat.
Some would like to see us in the upper tier of SEC programs. We have flashed through there before. It wouldn't be unprecedented.
Spoil me some more, while I'm still on this side of the grass.
Oh, meant to ask earlier, what makes u think Ward is a bead stringer?……..I’m gonna roll the dice & say he’s one of the predestined.
Well, u we’re already gone. Riker holding his hand up (throwing the bird), for gawd knows how long, to the student section.
I kept looking at him & back at the bench to see how long he’d hold his hand up before Frank would notice.
As I recall game vs Layden (btw still alive) & Niagara……..but coulda been against the Bonnie’s.
His Basketball rhymes are the last thread of sanity holding this program togetherOh, meant to ask earlier, what makes u think Ward is a bead stringer?……..I’m gonna roll the dice & say he’s one of the predestined.
NIT where we wanna be
I agree but if we were to win 3 out of our last 5 and get a couple of wins in the SEC tournament I think that should be enough to put us on the bubble. The SEC is considered a very good league this season.
For us, on the bubble = left out of the tournament. The selection committee simply doesn't give us the benefit of the doubt.
But I don't even think we make that interesting.
Exactly, every single year. And that is when I stop paying attention to basketball because I know it is groundhog day. I just go to sleep on the season and hope Frank wakes up the next year and does something different....because as we have seen, Tanner ain't going to do anything different.
Tanner probably doesn't have the free reign he ought to so that he can do something different.
A wooden zombie as coach yelling brains would give us a lot of exposure on ESPN
