We just went 17-16 and lost our 2 leading scorers to the transfer portal, how is coach doing these days!?

Honestly hope he is still as positive and upbeat as ever, it's truly going to take a special leader to navigate us through these current times successfully...

He is the leader to get us through these tough times. I am just hoping he is staying around! Loosing Jp just hurts. Big time. Doesnt hurt that the new arena is being built currently. Should help recruiting and retention.

The return of Hoopla!

I am not returning, the state of college basketball has deflated me, I just had to get a couple little things off my chest that's all!

PEACE!

Gut punch. Didn’t need this to start the weekend.

So, I guess this is what college basketball has become...a lousy sport with no loyalty...as soon as you lose youre out the door...no fun being a fan anymore

I heard coach was hanging out with Aaron Rodgers in New Mexico or some place to clear his head.

I am just about fed up with college sports. You are right. It is not fun right now, and it is only going to get worse.

Clemson makes Sweet 16, gotta think Brownell's job should be more safe now. Maybe that means Bob Richey could probably stay at Furman longer?

We could still be good, but we chose to build a more comfortable place to watch a mediocre team rather than putting the money into NIL. It isn’t complicated. But we bought into this idea that somehow our guys were different. Saban said on the news this week that on visits recruits no longer even care about facilities. They care about the bottom line. That’s the way it is. You can adjust or lose. We’re richer than the rest of our conference. This new world should benefit us.

Even if you’re right, I don’t want this new world. I don't think I can get excited about cheering for a group of players, loyal only to the dollar, who I have bought. It’s like being part owner or shareholder in a professional team… it doesn’t interest me, no matter how many wins it brings.

Conversely, the new betting world that is growing roots is going to love it. I’m not optimistic that will net anything meaningful to our lives, either.
