Hard to shake such a legacy of disappointment from these seniors.

I understand how disappointing they've been. But, at a certain point, Weber has to take some blame right? How much?

Dye,

We pass it around and hope a defender falls down.

Supposedly he was a good coach and getting a solid recruiting assistant would help, but close inspection (lol, ok, any inspection) reveals he can't coach either. Plus the stories that he grates on the players have been rampant for a while, and he constantly throws them under the bus publicly. He has been amply rewarded for not screwing up a team of NBA players, time to let him go.

I'd imagine the one thing Kansas resolved to do at the start of the season was not lose in their second game of the tournament to a 9 seed.

And finally with 4 minutes left, the athletic, halfcourt-defense-challenged team decides to press a little bit.

Did I mention halfcourt defense challenged?

I take it back. The moment of the towl being thrown in was that terrible foul by Davis under the Illini basket and he showed no emotion at all after. Just like, yep, I was pissed and fouled him, so what.

So sad since not only would a win have been redemption on so many fronts, but the Richmond/FSU/VCU path to the final four was actually almost winnable had we luckboxed one time.

i refrained from calling for weber's job until this year. this year was really apparent that he just has no idea what to do on offense as a coach. he's doing well on the recruiting front, next years class looks pretty promising, but when your coach's philosophy is that you dribble and pass around and hope the other team has a seizure, i'd say it won't matter.
this team's basketball IQ is friggin terrible, and when they get down, they lose all energy and just quit. Weber should go, but hey we haven't fired Zook either so Weber will prolly get an extension!

i dont think jereme will transfer, by the way he was jumping up and down on the bench in the game vs unlv and earlier in this one, it looks like he will be staying
