That GT loss wasn’t a big deal

It wasn't a big deal by itself. But a couple more of those Quad 2/Quad 3 losses and it will become a big deal in March.
Need to take care of business the rest of nonconference and hopefully get both of the UNT and Rutgers games, because the January schedule tough.
This team is still really really good, and they obviously weren't going undefeated the entire season. Sometimes you just come out flat. Be a goldfish.

Ummmmm, there was a pretty good crowd for that game. Jans even spoke to it after the game
You ain't wrong (about the fanbase).
Heard a guy ask yesterday about how we are going to keep Hubbard from transferring. We can start by showing up to games, even in the OOC. That's what programs like Kentucky do. Like I said yesterday, we have to do more than normal in football and basketball.
People wonder why our baseball program is good? Because fans show up, all the time.

No students, nobody in the lower bowl. I was at that game. It looked pathetic for what a top 25 team should have
Our baseball team is the worst team of the big 3 on campus the past two years. I’d be willing to bet it will be the worst going on 3 years too.
I haven't abandoned the team. Hopefully coach can use this lose for good. We were flat and GT was nailing threes.
Throughout history, you idiot.
And the reason we are likely going to build back this year, is because our fans show up, even in the bad years. Players want to play for that type of culture and program. They are attracted to it.
I swear some of you are simply incapable of anything other than surface level, 'right-now' tunnel thinking.
I wish you had said this before I kicked my cat, left my wife, and set my house on fire.***
We are going to have the worst OOC resume in the country on selection Sunday so a bad loss gets worse.
I was at that game too. The lower bowl was probably at least half full other than the students. They were on break. That was actually a very good crowd for us for a daytime game during the week, and especially for a holiday. We didn't have better, or worse, for the 96 team under the same circumstances.
That's nuts. We have played a couple of pretty good teams and our RPI going into last night was really high.
You have got to be joking. The worst OOC resume in the country? This is exactly what I’m talking about when I say this basketball fanbase is dumb. Okay why did we have a RPI of 2 then?
Rpi is absolutely meaningless at this point in the year. Who do we think will be a quad 1 OOC win? Will NW or Wazzu finish top 50? We desperately need them too.
But to the extent NET has any meaning we are now 53.
The fact that you are using 19 freaking 96 as your benchmark, shows we don't do enough as a fanbase. Over 25 years ago.
Every wonder why we didn't sustain that success?
A few thoughts
1) Last night was an awful performance in all facets of the game, but it happens. Even the best teams have duds or run into RATs
2) What’s important now is that we don’t let one bad night turn in 2-3 in a row. I trust that Jans won’t let that happen, but it would devastate our chances in March
3) I’m as excited about the Jans era as anyone, and getting into the Top 25 has been a fun ride, but I think that a lot of people need to temper expectations. This team plays hard, and the suffocating defense can be fun to watch, but it’s still a roster that’s essentially made up of one star(maybe?) and a dozen role players. In other words, we’re going to be out-talented on some nights, so we may as well get used to it. Still as good a start to the season as I think anyone could’ve asked for minus Tolu, though

1996 was the best team we have had since we were allowed to go to the NCAAs. I was just pointing out that our attendance then wasn't any better for holiday games. Don't get me started on why hasn't got better. It started with Greg Byrne destroying our base crowd that was there no matter what.
Exactly. That is why we can't build a championship basketball (or football) program. The rest is just noise. We can blame Byrne or whatever, but folks are more interested in DeEr HuNtIn than going to the games. And that's fine, we just need to tell the truth about it. Just like during football season, folks are more interested in travel ball (and bOw SeAsOn).
It's been this way forever and until a jolt is forced into that, it will continue. If we simply can't get the crowds, then we need to go on the road and play in the cities where we can. Play in Southaven, Tupelo, Biloxi, whatever. I wouldn't mess with Jackson until they get a new arena.
buddy that was a great crowd for a 1 p.m game on a friday the day after thanksgiving. Most people in the upper level in years. wth are you talking about?
It was a bad loss that will show up on our “bad losses” section of our NCAA resume once we’re approaching March. We have a brutal conference schedule to start with, as well.
Be an internet tough guy all you want, we’re all idiots according to you. But there’s plenty of cause for concern regarding the impact of this loss going forward. Or, maybe that’s just me “jumping ship”.
I'm curious. Was this loss to Southern a big deal? Or am I being the worst fan ever?
One loss to a team like that is all they needed to put you in the next 4 out for the rest of the year.
i don’t blame the fans for wanting a clean break from the past. Yet, here we are in year 2 of Jans running the same Howland-era players back out on the court.

So you’re admitting that you’re stupid. That’s an incredible first step, a$$hat.
They can still go to games.
They can still be season ticket holders.
they choose not to.
this fanbase actually deserves losses like this. You get what you put into it.
I’m sorry about your missing chromosomes. Post less.
