Winning cures all

Cut our teeth? We won each game by like 30

This team is so good.

I haven't been this excited for a Billiken's team in the last 10 years. Have a feeling something special is coming, what all the years of pain have led up to.

Lots of good clips of Paul O on Earl's twitter

We have spent a lot of this offseason complaining (often rightfully so) about the schedule, the athletic director, etc. but none of that can take away from how excited I am for this next basketball season. - Probably the most complete roster we have seen since Majerus - Returning the best player in the conference - Basketball coach who has a clear vision for what it takes to succeed and never seems to settle in mediocrity - New president seems to see the vision in having a strong athletic foundation for the university built around the basketball team I am bullish, but I have no doubts in my mind that if we can remain healthy, we will win the conference

I love that

I'm a fan of it. I am in line that it makes us a better team. I think when you have a clear 4 or 5 teams that are at-large candidates, this format works best for optimizing tournament teams. But with the performance of the league the last several years, this format makes it more likely for the one clear at-large team to take a bad loss. I personally would like to see the better teams come through Chaifetz and make the team better 'battle-tested"

They also lost both of those games

It hurt the team that Schertz made a run to the NIT final. Missed the 3 most important weeks of the portal last year which really hamstrung this team towards roster construction. Extremely excited about Schertz and staff's work in the portal this year, they went out and got their guys. If next year isn't a success, then I think it's valid to hold Schertz accountable, but last year was a wash in my mind. There were flashes of his vision, but ultimately was hurt by the lack of depth. Schertz has been awesome and has been the best thing to happen to this program since Majerus, I understand the skepticism, but I think you should give way more time for him to build his program, rather than casting large judgements after one year. I couldn't be more excited about the future and I'm a pretty pessimistic guy.

What a start to the portal!!

easy guy to cheer for, class act

Every single job opening (Villanova, WVU, and Indiana) has brought up Schertz. He’s one of the most respected coaches in college hoops. Coached for team USA last summer, has a sterling reputation. He was offered the Louisville job last year and turned it down for us. Im going to give the guy more than one year where half of his team got hurt or left before I call for his head. Our fan base is full of morons who are going to drive this program into the ground

Super active, just rejoined a few weeks ago

I need the footage of Schertz talking about Gibby, the ESPN stream had technical difficulties when he was just starting. Loved his words about Kobe and Swope.
