Basketball team stinks it up again...

Got beat 77-58 by Middle Tennessee State. This was supposed to be one of AK’s most talented teams, but they look a lot like his past teams.

There never was a doubt in my mind we'd lose this game to MTSU -- their coach kicks Kennedy's tail on an annual basis and there was no reason to believe it would be any different this year.

Re: Basketball team stinks it up again...

Wonder if Hunter Carpenter has updated his PowerPoint presentation? 
If we had half as many supporting our basketball program as we do wading it down we might get somewhere but hell no.  Let’s cut the legs out from under our most successful coach in the history of the program by not extending his contract and costing us the one top recruit we had incoming so we can say AK sucks.  Whatever it takes to get AK gone because he doesn’t curry to the GOB’s.  It’s laughable that our fans even follow basketball much less expect good results.  Like anything in life you get what you pay for. 
Before any of you wise asses try to correlate the Luke situation here let me first point out he’s had 14 years in the system and has never produced anything remotely close to what AK has done.  Add to that Luke has been able to sell the history of support and success of our program to recruits and still couldn’t do shit with it while AK has played all but the last season and a half in the worst facility in College Basketball with zero support.  Don’t forget it took strong arming football donor money or we still wouldn’t have the Pavillion completed.  As a matter fact hiring Hunter Carpenter would be akin to promoting Luke to HC.

Ahhh, YES..... And the vinyl disc masquerading as OM sports spins on....playing the same song....stuck on the same groove (for you youngsters that's a reference to Vinyl LP records...Haha). 

Back in the day the only way to correct that repeating pattern was to literally flick the tone arm with your finger or pick it up and move it over to a good groove...... The only TRUE fix though was to throw out the record and get a new one.......

Is ANYONE surprised that once again we see yet another losing team.....?  Root cause people ROOT CAUSE....  What is the common thread between all our sports teams?  Here's a hint....the fish rots from the head down.

You guys who love roundball were promised that all we needed to compete on the hardwood was a new facility.  Well, we spent multiple million $$.....now, as Jethro Bodine would have said, "We's got us-n's uh PuhVillion Uncle Jed....now we can be a double naught winner"......

Re: Basketball team stinks it up again...

Don't worry guys I will remind you of how "good" we had it with AK when we trot out another Rod Barnes and proceed to go back to winning 8-9 games a season in a still fairly new and now empty arena.  
In order to be successful in basketball you have to win games.  AK's record speaks for itself.  Folks want to point out how many times he has been to NIT and not NCAA.  No issue there but to put it in context you have to also look at how many times in the history of our program have we played in the postseason?  How many seasons did we finish with a winning record?  How many 20 win seasons?  It's all in the body of work.  AK will be the first to tell you he hasn't done enough to remain as HC.  I will be the first to tell you if we are able to hire a better HC he will be on the first bus out when he finds out what our program and our fans are really about.  The expectation is that you go to NCAA every couple of years, never lose to state, never lose an OOC game, never lose a home game.  What did I miss?   Meanwhile our fanbase contributes 0 to the program and the fact remains that the admin has to strong arm football donors into buying more seats to retain their football priority.  That's real support right there.  Lol.
The confounding part to me is how the same fans who don't support the program otherwise demand anything better?  Shit should be happy with what we have for what we are investing but it will take another underperforming coaching change to once again realize maybe AK wasn't the devil he has been made out to be.
