Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 5044546, member: 127"] I don’t get this idea that we have had 10 years of horrific tortured losing SU basketball. No doubt we have had issues in JB’s latter years particularly with recruiting but the length of time keeps expanding in people’s posts. 10 years ago was 2014. We made the NCAA’s in 2014, 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2021. For us making just half the NCAA tournaments is disappointing, because we’ve been spoiled by so much extreme success almost every year of his long tenure here. We tend to eliminate that it included a final 4, 2 Sweet 16’s in those 5 appearances.

Negativity is a killer for programs and their brand making it much more difficult to recruit, get $ support for NIL and get people in the stands to support the program. Bottom line is we want to win, Red wants to win and lead the program in his own way, in a brand new ever changing era after the great legacy our program has had for over half a century. LGO!
