Pitino looks like he died 5 years ago so I guess the lifetime contract may not be that big of a commitment

To make it even worse, they have been to an NCAA tournament since we have.
Brutal how far down that list we are. 245 teams have danced since we last did. At one point we were one of a handful of teams that had gone 7 times in a 10 year stretch (1995-2005 IIRC).

Man looking at that list - DePaul was good for so long. Their fans are suffering like ours.
Are you saying is could be worse??? I like the positivity.
Jacksonville appeared in the NCAA tournament final game in 1970. Have no idea if they ever made it back to Big Dance.
It’s Ron Sanchez, of course it could get worse. Jesus H Christ. Hey does anyone know what the “H” stands for?
Holy.

JU last appeared in the NCAAT in 1979 and 1986 as Sun Belt tournament champs.
More recently ASUN regular season champs in 2009 and 2010 but didn’t win league tournament either year, so landed in the NIT both times as an automatic qualifier.

MTSU is red hot at home, huh?
Hadn’t everyone pretty much written off McDevitt hire from UNCA coming into this year, right? Looks like he has found his footing.

If history is any indication, coming away from Murfreesboro with a W on Sunday will be a tall order. Niners are 2-11 vs the Blue Raiders, who currently have a 13 game home winning streak:
Sadly…if we were serious about competing for CUSA titles, this one and the La Tech game are games we should expect to be tough but expect to win.
But we still expect to lose (rightly so) and are happy when we play hard enough to barely lose (like against La Tech).
Competing for the top of this Conference should not be this hard.
