Probably right. We’re on pace to have 40 turnovers. That’s the most frustrating part. We’re just giving it to them.
I don’t think I’d say they have no basketball tradition. They do have 9 sweet 16 appearances. It pails in comparison to their football tradition, but they’ve had some decent basketball teams over the years.
I don’t think all is lost yet. We will need to get this one back by beating Auburn and probably 2 tournament wins. Daunting for sure, but the team hasn’t given up.
Only shot is to win the SEC tourney. Even with a win over an Auburn, the total book of the season doesn't add up for NCAA. Yea, had some wins recently, but none over anyone that impresses anybody.
Yes, I think that ship has sailed. However, if South Carolina finishes with a .500 record for the conference, I will consider that a sucess. This league is brutal this year with five very good teams.
I won't. Ten year into Frank's tenure and the best we can hope for is .500 in conference play while other newer coaches have come in and made their teams Tournament regulars?
I just fear the same thing will happen to South Carolina like what happened to Georgia when they replaced Mark fox with Tom Craine.
I think every team in the conference has only two games left for the regular season. Only five teams out of 14 currently have an above .500 conference record.
What's the worst that could happen? We keep missing out on top recruits? We keep losing games we have no business losing? We keep missing the tournament?
And our history suggests that record will be just enough to miss the tournament -- again.
Well you asked what’s the worst that could happen. The answer is Steve Newton or Darrin Horn, both of which were absolute disasters. And if you make a hire like that it usually takes 4-5 years to own up to the mistake and another 4-5 years to pull yourself out of it.
Newton was hired by one of the worst ADs in our history. Hyman has freely admitted that Horn came about as a budget issue. But Hyman never gets any credit for pulling the plug after only 4 years and not waiting the obligatory five.
I’ll certainly give Hyman the credit for pulling the plug. Unfortunately Horn was so bad after four years that this program didn’t have the talent to beat Chapin High by the time he left.
Regardless if we get 20 wins, 1 tournament appearance and take out the COVID factor, it's time to go in a new direction
See, all I'm hearing is excuses and "what-ifs." No one's trying to run Frank off after Year 3. It's been TEN YEARS. The Horn excuse died after the FF run. This is FRANK'S team. HIS recruits. HIS coaching staff. HIS culture.
Right now we’re in the running for the number one recruit in the country. Doesn’t guarantee we will land him, but a 20 win team with a chance at landing the number one recruit is not the optimal time for a reset.
