Funny you posted this as I was thinking this earlier today. I don’t see how you can possibly have new inductees into a HOF in a few years. I have to believe many fans would join me in booing a Chandler Morris type player* who transferred in one year and out the next. I don’t care if he passed for 6,000 yards and led us to CFB playoffs, I don’t think a fly by night player should be in the HOF.
*choose your player. I picked Chandler, but there are obviously many other options.
I think more what I meant by “what our program is” is the fact that some 90% of the banners hanging in the Pit got raised within the last decade.
So given that in the century before Mac got here we had three 15-seed NCAA appearances and zero NITs, imma still be pretty ok with a 20+ win season and basketball into late March/early April. That doesn’t mean that I don’t WANT more…but I’m also not going to downplay really good basketball after a whole history of at best mediocre.
Our OOC schedule (definitely a topic worth discussing) and a down AAC meant we had to be near perfect for an at-large and if we’re being honest last years team was not even near perfect.
that said, I’ll choose not to diminish some nice wins against power conference foes that a decade prior we’d have (and did) storm the court for.
In what universe, is a single digit scoring average considered elite?
i thrust Burton's recruiting, but is shooting the three at 32.5% exceptional? They played a tough OCC schedule, but the Mid-American league is definitely bottom tier.
Funny, teams usually lose to better teams. Yes, it is exciting to win over big time programs that spend, including NIL, 10 plus times what NT can.
If you were not excited about NT basketball in the McCasland and Hodge era, you are likely to be disappointed in any team,
