Exactly! The path they went through to make the Final Four was basically a joke. Three of the teams (Kansas, UNC, and Kentucky) we beat in our run in 2019 were significantly better than the overrated UNC team they beat. The other 3 teams they beat to make it- Charleston, Grand Canyon, and a Clemson team that lost, what, 13 games?

WDE! We never make things easy though, good grief!

Will Butch be retained after this season?
arktiger1975 replied to PUB78's topic in AU Baseball and Softball Forum
The loss to Yale was certainly disappointing. But we finished a game out of 1st place in the SEC this year, won the SEC tournament, and are projected in the top 10 in the early polls for next season. So I would say Bruce is doing just fine. -

A guy that works with me is a long-time MSU fan, and is friends with Ron Polk. He played in JUCO, and has coached high school baseball for over 40 years. He told me that if the MSU job came open, he wouldn't mind having Butch as an assistant, but would NOT want him as head coach. That being said, I think Butch will likely be back for next season. But after last years flameout at home in the regionals, combined with this season, he will be in a must win situation next year. -
Baseball tournament projections
arktiger1975 replied to arktiger1975's topic in AU Baseball and Softball Forum
This baseball season takes bad to a whole new level. We had some bad teams under Slater, but I can't recall a season even close to this bad. Early on, you could at least make the argument that at least we were playing really good teams. But we aren't even beating the bad teams now. It is very reminiscent of the 2012 football season, that is the closest comparison that I can think of. -
Always nice when, even though our season is going nowhere, we serve a turd in the punchbowl to the turds. Hopefully, baseball can do the same.

As recently as 10 days ago, a website projected us as in the NCAA regionals. We've been out of the picture for over a month now. https://www.dratings.com/predictor/college-baseball-bracketology/

Need a complete housecleaning. Totally new staff.

Hallelujah!

Unfreakin believable.

Like them, our season has long since been over.

And now we are playing the mid-lower level teams in the SEC, and can't even beat them. This is Mizzou basketball bad. Even in the dark ages under Slater, we NEVER had a season this bad. We might not win another conference game.

Aden Holloway hits the portal (4/20 Committed to UAT)

https://flywareagle.com/posts/auburn-basketball-beat-writer-shreds-national-analyst-aden-holloway-take I think this article pretty much tells the story. Aden knew his days as PG#1 at Auburn were likely numbered. -

This year's draft class is extremely weak. So when you combine that with the season he had, his draft stock is way higher this year than it ever will be. -

I supported him to the end too. Only appropriate that he chose the turds, he certainly is one. -

If he has off the court issues, he found the perfect landing spot in Thugville. -

Baseball v Miss State Series
arktiger1975 replied to I_M4_AU's topic in AU Baseball and Softball Forum
And swept by a very mid Moo State team too. This team has quit, probably won't get to 5 conference wins. Heck, may not even get to 3. You want support, you gotta at least show a pulse. -

I think the way UConn plays lends itself to more consistent, sustainable success than living and dying by the 3. -

College basketball is different from the NBA. In a one and done tournament scenario, if you live and die by the three, one bad shooting game and you're done. Not to mention defensive rules being different in the NBA. Other recent champions such as Baylor and Kansas were not overly reliant on the 3 either. By the way, Denver ranks 29th in the NBA in 3 point attempts. -

What about UConn? They have kicked everyone"s a-- the past couple of years with a more balanced approach. Almost a European style.
