I was going to start my own thread, but this thread is appropriate enough…I was there today… sort of fully hit home for me today that no matter what happens (barring some sort of extreme results rest of way) it is just really clear Moser isn’t the answer. I like him personally and I was hopeful his demeanor and style would infuse life into the program— but it just doesn’t appear to be a fit.
Maybe this team will be able to avoid the TOTAL collapse of the last few years and squeak into the Tourney—they need 2 more wins and they might get them. And that would certainly technically be an improvement and perhaps a sign of relief if they at least participate in Madness for first time under Moser. But big picture… it just doesn’t really matter. The team is overall middling… the offense is just brutal game to game… and every chance they’ve had the past three years to vault themselves out of the “meh” zone, they’ve failed.
They aren’t incapable of winning games obviously and they aren’t incapable of beating a decent team. But I do believe they are incapable of ever doing anything exceptional— even in one game. There is never even a 10 minute stretch where they just can’t miss or they go nuts. Everything is a struggle and a grind… nothing is easy, nothing is fluid, nothing ever seems comfortable.
I think it’s most likely we find a way to squeeze in this year and Moser gets another year in SEC next year. But whether it’s now or whenever, this feels like an inevitable end to me. Kind of a bummer. Feels pretty lifeless.
