Two things can be true at once. I think we are better than many of the teams that made it. I also don’t think we have any real legitimate gripe. It was too little too late this year.

Not sure we would have been in anyway, but the A10 being a guaranteed two-bid league now probably ends any hope.

Well, there you go. I’m kind of whatever about it. Could have gone either way for me. All things considered I’m somewhat indifferent on Moser and fall in between the extremes with him. The rally this year obviously helped. Maybe they will spend more moving forward. It’s Denney first big decision...

The mini surge to end the season is really just prolonging the agony. Like most fans, I simply cannot keep myself from being pleased when they win. So in a sense I appreciate the way they have kept it together down the stretch and have avoided total embarrassment or hitting unseen program...

I think people understate the disappointment and damage done immediately following the Final Four team. I’m not absolving Moser at all. If you coach for five years at a P5 school and make the tourney once with a very poor overall conf record, you aren’t doing a good job, period. But to follow up...

I would say not if they have legit Power Conference options…unless we go crazy with the contract. Sure, if it’s a matter of going to coach at OU or coaching at Drake or Texas State…yes, OU would be a big step up and almost certainly more appealing. But I would be very surprised if OU is able to...

Trae team was a disaster. Got worse throughout the year. Snuck in tourney. The other teams that made it I guess were a little more solidly “in,” but still posed zero threat and made zero March noise. Again, the Porter teams have been maybe one step behind those teams in general. I consider the...

Splitting hairs Wichita…. Last five years of Lon marginally better. I’d agree if you asked me which set of five seasons was better… I’d vote Lon. However, ultimately both sets of years were marred by average-ish play and teams that were bubbling come March. The difference would probably be that...

I think 2 things can be true at once: 1. Barring a pretty unlikely turnaround to this season, it will be time to move on from Porter at season’s end. Assuming a non-tourney year, the results will more than warrant dismissal. 2. I have very little faith/hope that whoever we hire would do much...

This is a great thread and an eloquent (as always) yarn spun by the GOAT of OU basketball fans/posters. So forgive me for straying a bit off topic and jumping into the Fears discussion… In the old days I’d say going pro was actually kind or risky for a player like Fears. He is NOT ready to...

And to me this is a fact regardless of who the coach might be. And the only way to get those 2-3 top level players is to open up wallet. I think we can all agree that the team hasn’t had the elite level of talent required to compete at the top of the B12 or SEC. And I don’t think it would be...

So, I’ve really pondered this in the weeks since I posted it. And on the surface, considering how we played down the stretch and wound up making the tourney with room to spare… I think the most reasonable answer to the question I posed in the title is “No.” It would be hard for me to argue...

Play in not in play now

So the guys that weren’t quick enough to stay with him when he had the ball would have been able to lock him down in the front court when he didn’t have the ball?

You all are making it sound like it’s really simple to just deny a guy the ball whenever you want. If that were the case, the best player would never be able to receive an inbounds pass in late clock situation. To me the goal there should be to force a jump shot and take your chances. I didn’t...
