I’ll respect your opinion coz it’s yours. For the record though, we have won 8 in 86 years of NCAAT. So that’s less than 1 in 10 years. By definition, expecting one every ten years, especially since the tournament expanded to 64 teams 51 years ago, is setting yourself up to be disappointed. I sure hope that we do fulfill what you’re asking for but as a fellow fan, I’d ask you to consider that’s asking too much if our unmatched history doesn’t even meet those expectations.

You can be skeptical of Pope and not expect a title every decade. This isn’t complicated.

He speaks the truth. There is not much to be positive about right now when it comes to basketball. Our recruiting sucks. Three of our starters are injured. Our best player has been the most selfish player so far this season. Pope looked absolutely annihilated after the loss to Michigan State. We got our butts kicked by two ranked teams.

What exactly is positive right now? Seriously. Can you name anything to be positive about right now when it comes to the state of the program that doesn't include baseless hopes and dreams? The results are lacking, and we are an embarrassment with the money that we spend on this roster.

People should not be blasting him for speaking the truth . I got your back SoS . Talking in the present it's freaking UGLY . I went to bed with 12 min to go ( been traveling with no sleep) but if we were playing well and the game was exciting I'd prob toughed it out . But it looked like 2 teams outside the top 20 wallowing in a scrimmage . Entirely not impressed by Unc so where does that leave us ? hard to believe shoulder injuries to starting PG's 2 years in a row .Anyway with JL and JQ back this team could look a lot different , but are either going to bust it to join this team ? Aberdeen hasnt taken the flak that OO about dogging it but if you watch him closely hes playing terrible D and isnt making up for it on O . OO is strutting around with that smirk on his face like hes Allen Iverson or something. The offense that should be centered on ball movement is stagnant as heck. Its a pretty ugly situation . At least currently . Leave Sos alone , he speaks a bunch of truth whether we like it or not . signed MD

This is a really big stretch. 8 of 86 is as damn close to once a decade as you can get. Remove our 13 year drought and we had 8 in 73 years. Win one in the next 4 that’s 9 in 90. You can spin however you want but that’s once a decade. Geez, hard to believe something this elementary needs explained.

I was all in on popes hire but this is not what I was expecting. He has quickly gone away from the types of players that made his system successful. Also throw the damn analytics out the window and coach. Get in players grills and push your team. If they don’t want pushed then send their *** packing. Every successful coaches players have a healthy fear of their coach.

I remember distinctly the opposite after the Purdue anomaly!

Not a fan of the guy, but he doesn’t sugarcoat an ugly cookie like a lot of fans who couldn’t care less about their credibility. I respect that👍🏼
