They don't have a PG next year, they lose Barnett and Kassius, and Tilmon has shown almost nothing to inspire any confidence in his ability to stay on the floor or affect games. [Reply]

Yeah I was worried about that. I guess a one year turnaround was too much to hope for. [Reply]

Hell the tournament was considered a long shot even with MPJ [Reply]
So what's a reasonable estimate for when we should have enough of a pipeline and system in place to be in contention most years? Or is that hoping for too much? [Reply]

Think they have to win one. Lunardi still had them as a 7 as of last night.
Porter will play in at least one of the next two, possibly both, and they'll win a game or two, minimum, in the SEC tournament, make the tournament, and scare the crap out of whatever teams even up in their quadrant of the bracket.

All the doom and gloom here is unfounded.
Yes, I've read they need to win 1 more most likely to be in. Really hoping mpjr gets minutes Tuesday [Reply]

I agree. The team is in pretty good shape considering where they were a year ago.
Even if they don't qualify for the tournament (they will), still in a better place. [Reply]
