2022-23 Niner Basketball šŸ€

Always love athletic director BS when making a change. Pastner was at GT for seven seasons with one ā€œmiracleā€ NCAAT appearance. Likewise, Slick Rick at WKU same amount of time with only NITs to show for it.

That statement by Ron makes it sound like he already knows current players that are moving on?

This is all just crazy. I would have never thought we would fall so far.

We already took the trip in the summer and got extra time with this group. Now we close the season on 3 straight losses and one was UTSA when we had something to play for. CBI, whatever…

I have zero hope we will do anything of consequence next year.

Football: #goldstandard
Basketball: #foolsgoldstandard

I have read Rons statement 3 times now and I can not grasp nor get my head around the many different things it repesents on so many different levels. Every fucking sentence gives me pause!!

Why don’t we just go ahead and give ourselves a participation trophy?

Ron needs to say as little as possible. Every time he speaks he says something that is misunderstood or stupid, according to what you want to believe.

Agreed completely.

It gets thrown out so much how he is a ā€œleader of menā€ and I have seen NOTHING that proves out as such.

Maybe it’s just a different era. I think of a leader of men as one who instills confidence, no excuses, tough love, discipline, high expectations, accountability, sacrifice, blood, sweat and tears all to accomplish an aggressive goal. Finding ways to win…refusing to lose…refusing to be outworked.

Ron talks more as if it’s rainbows and butterflies. It’s simply a journey that we’re thankful for the opportunity to learn and grow. As long as we get better and become the best version of ourselves the wins and losses aren’t important. If we do things the right way we’re all winners. Seriously!? WTF!?

That’s a leader of the participation trophy era mentality…which is straight garbage. But that is exactly who Sanchez is…not a leader of men by what the real standards should be.

Not even close.

I saw that but the link I posted is from happening hoops as well and I am not sure why he doesn’t have charlotte on it for today lol? NIT? Backout last min?

That site explains that he just guesses. Don’t believe it is even close to an official source. Does get most of them right though.

I was just going off of it because cameron williams posted it as his source when he said charlotte was in it and now that source has us not in it but Hunter Bailey also said we are in it.

Maybe we are holding out for a CIT invite.

FWIW, all bracketologies are just projections.

And CIT ceased after 2019.

Hopefully getting a bid and accepting it will be two different things.

I hate saying this but I prefer Judy’s policy of NCAA, NIT or nothing to Mike’s, we are open to playing in the CBI.

We don’t know that is Hill’s policy until a bid is accepted.

Maybe if the CBI doesn’t work out we can invite some schools to pay us to come to Halton for a tournament.
This and a rained out baseball game have ruined my Sunday.

No idea when CBI announces - just know it’s sometime tonight. See that NIT is scheduled for 10 PM.
