Any good will Cuonzo may have generated w/ that 'Bama win has to be gone after getting beat this badly (especially after getting embarrassed by Kansas as well).
Sooner or later a wealthy doner will poney up after stuff like this. [Reply]

I started to watch the game last night. Didn't even get it turned on because I saw the score early in the 2nd. Pathetic what has become of this program. [Reply]
I had someone send that in my buddies from Mizzou group chat. It was shot down by somebody else as #fakenews but I haven't looked around the interwebz too much yet. Would be HUGE if true! [Reply]
If they did fire him it must have been really bad. I think if they fire him after season it will be $2 million less to get rid of him. I hope he is gone but wouldn’t be surprised if they wait to save that money [Reply]

Not much to salvage by doing it today. He's super fucking gone when the season is finished. [Reply]

People do give a shit.
I mean it was only 4 years ago that the Tigers were a solid basketball team and Mizzou Arena was damn busy. That wasn't even a great team (since Porter never actually played for them), but it was a good, solid, entertaining team.
I remember going to the Kentucky game with my old man - place was absolutely full and it was loud.
That wasn't a 30 win squad. I think it won like 21 or 22 games. It wasn't great, it just wasn't actively bad. And yes, the fans turned out for that squad.
But this team can't shoot, its defense is erratic, it can't pass. It does seem to rebound fairly well but that's about the only thing they do well. It's a bad basketball team that plays an extremely uninteresting style and there's no reason to believe, based on past results, that Cuonzo is going to make any of them better or suddenly create a more entertaining product.
People want to give a shit about Mizzou basketball - they just have no reason to at all. [Reply]
