Pike's Response to Snub

[DHajekRC84]

He’s probably more upset at himself for thinking he would be able to coach up the bench he put together

Or often failing to coach the team up when they lead by 5 points

Or you should probably put some pressure on the ball in the MINN game

Or the coach a team that consistently loses 2-3 games a year they should have no business losing

As long as recruiting stays where it is we will be fine, but maybe him, and some of us posters, realize too many mistakes put us on the bubble anyway

I'd start with finding a way to stop giving up 3 pointers at the end of each half/game.

No reason to tick them off. Texas A&M did that last year to nth degree and look what happened - punished this year with a 7 instead of a 5

To be fair A&M would have a better shot at catching PSU on a bad shooting night than having to play any of the 12 seeds this year.

Yeah he should be an *******, then they'll change their mind and let us in the tourney...

Iowa certainly gets some calls during games

We have consistently won games during his tenure that we had no business winning as well. The 19 point comeback against PSU comes to mind

We should have never been down by 19 to PSU. Some of you seem content with consistent horrendous offensive stretches for what you consider should have been a NCAA tourn shoe in

Kinda wish Pike just said something along the lines of, if you placed the other bubble teams in the Big Ten, not sure many have 10 wins

Pike not calling a time out at Minnesota cost us a bid.

We were the last team to beat them before their one point loss today in the conference final. We were hardly a shoe-in this yr considering we lost 30 points a game when our 2 best players moved on

This year will be remembered for not going to Simpson sooner. I am sure Pike is kicking himself for that one. He stayed too long with the lineup.

Losing to Seton Hall was a big loss.
