Nebraska also had 5 sub par to awful years before this one possibly flash in the pan season. Iowa st. has been good for the last 4-5 years and TJ seems to be a really good coach but is he about to bolt for a "bigger" job? It's great to say "find those players and develop them" but in today's...

It was mentioned that Gonzaga went 7-2 (which ended up being 7-3 with the Texas loss) in Quad 1 wins so I was curious what games those were: Quad 1 wins: (7-3) Kentucky (7 seed) Creighton (Not in tourney)- 15-17 Alabama (4 seed) UCLA- (7 seed) Arizona St. (Not in tourney)- 17-16 St. Mary's (7...

Which this year Gonzaga getting a 3 seed on that schedule was based on name (and year's past) alone and set them up to be upset which is what happened. Two teams in this tournament for sure got seedings based on name and past history. Gonzaga and KU getting a 3 and 4 seed while Arkansas and St...

In full disclosure I don't know when they give the ranking to the non-con schedule but calling this year's non-con schedule for Gonzaga "brutal" would be based on the names alone when you break it down how those teams ended up this season for the most part: Tex Southern- 12-18 W Oklahoma- 19-15...

There are 18 teams in the Big 10 he went 10-10 finishing 8th out of 18 finishing ahead of only one team in the standings that made the NCAA tourney which was Ohio St. Out of the 10 wins, they beat UCLA, Nebraska and Ohio State. The rest were teams that didn’t finish in the top half of the...

Some of that is logical but comparing OU to Utah St is not the same in regard to schedules. St. Louis pounded Georgia then two days later got pounded by Michigan. Thats the equivalent of playing Georgia then teo days later having Florida or Tenn or Alabama types in the same conference. Utah st...

Which sadly I actually don't see them doing. I've watched 3-4 of their games now and they obviously have pulled them all out, but watching them, I just don't see a superior team winning these games handily. They do what's needed to get the job done but against avg to even some far below avg...

Ha! Agreed!

Yeah, it's crazy to me that Texas is still "safely in" at 18-14 at this point. I know they have some "good wins" but they also just lost to a now 13 win Ole Miss team by 10 to finish the season losing to OU and Ole Miss which right now would be two teams not making the tournament. I feel like...

The roller coaster of this season.... Pre-season- We have one of the best transfer classes, we're going to be much better than expected! Reg season starts- We lost a couple here and there we're OK though cause this group can still be really good More into the reg season- why aren't we a little...

Which I would agree with to a point but most out there would say that you want to be playing your best basketball by the end of the season which usually marks the sign of a good team/coach which is what OU is currently doing regardless of who they are playing. I'm not giving props to the guy...

What's funny is, they are currently excuses for Moser but if the next guy comes in and struggles right away, they become reasons for him as to why you can't currently have sustained success in this role.

I get that. It would take sustained success for a full season (22-23+ or more wins) for people to buy into what Moser is or has done to this point. It was SUPPOSED to be this year and this roster. The question then becomes IF he hangs on enough to give himself that next year, would he get any...

I get the perspective and don't disagree fully. However, there are coaches all over the country that have their "most talented" team that aren't living up to fans/media expectations. Mark Pope is exhibit A. If OU had a 22-million-dollar budget for the team and finished 9th in the SEC with a...

This year definitely hasn't gone according to plan but IMO IF OU does somehow win 2-3 more in a row and make the NCAA tourney it would almost eradicate the losing streak in my mind with the way they bounced back and have been playing lately. Will that happen? Who knows, and for a lot, they are...
