Yeap..same..I was so excited about our team especially after our disappointing football season..was hoping for better..hope this doesn't spread to baseball...
I remember saying I was so excited that it finally looked like we would be a shoe in for the tournament for a change. Boy was I wrong.
The older I get the more fun it is to just watch good basketball where I don't care who wins. I used to never watch games that weren't ours, and I still don't for football, but I'll be watching basketball all day next week.
I really hope I'm wrong, but WHO in the Ole Miss athletics dept is watching this, and thinking to themselves that MIKE WHITE is the answer? Good grief.
N. Lane - 15 points (6-of-7 field, 1-1 3 pt, 2-3 FT, 9 rebs, 1 blk) C Castle - 12 points (6-of-9 field, 5 rebs) K Reeves - 9 points (2-of-6 field, 4-5 FT, 4 rebs)
Agree. They have played with a lot of heart. Teams that are not that good need to do that and hopefully with a bigger heart than the other team. What I don't agree with are some of the suggestions by other posters that our guys are "disinterested" or "quit". That's bullshit. It is also arrogant to think that any time we want to turn it on, play with heart and get interested we could beat the NBA champs. Sounds like a hokey halftime cliche infested speech by a novice coach. Our guys are not that good. Even a not so good team can beat an Auburn though. It happens every year. That doesn't suddenly raise expectations to the point where I , or any of us , realistically thought: " well we beat Auburn so we must be good enough go undefeated the rest of the season if we just give it the old college try ." And part of not being that good is not having a great coach. I love Mike White. I would love to be friends with him and his family. He doesn't deserve the pitch forks and torches and hate we have demonstrated against other coaches. Heck, they didn't either; firing them was enough. But he is just not the coach that will take Florida were it needs to go consistently. And he has had, and deserved to have, plenty of time to demonstrate he was that kind of coach.
