All this stuff about Tucson to explain why we can't beat a team from Chicago.

Yeah, I'm not getting that either. Instead of trying to beat out Arizona for lottery picks, we should maybe try to beat out UC Santa Barbara and USF.

Maybe he should get a "best player" who doesn't drop the ball or miss key free throws. But how could he possibly do that? We're not UNC or Duke and we never will be.

I think we should be happy with that. Don't want the expectations to get any higher. That kind of stress around Hecht wouldn't be good.

It's a difference of one half of a point per game. Of course that isn't statistically significant. If you would stop being so emotional you might understand this. That's the difference two months of free throw practice made. One half of one point. It's a great point because it's more evidence...

Right, nothing the head coach can do. It's the players' fault. Make no mistake, I wasn't counting the game against an 11-seed as a tough game. That game is supposed to be a win. #3 vs #11 is a tough game now? My god, you people set the bar low. The guy is 68 years old and can't get past...

That difference in percentage is not statistically significant. We weren't any better at the end of the year. We shot 61% in that last game. We shot 66% on the season. So we shot worse than our average in the last game of the season after all of that free throw practice. Your last resort has...

You want me to leave the board because you don't like being challenged. You like the comfort of being around people who agree with you.

Yes, we were at 62.5% in November and December, and 67.7% in February and March. Which means that in a game where we shoot 13 free throws, like yesterday, we made .676 more free throws than we made in a game in December. I'm not sure I saw where that one-half of a free throw made a difference.

322nd in the country in free throw shooting out of 351 teams. And I was certain that people told me we would just work on them in practice and that would fix everything.

Except that we lost because we couldn't hit a free throw in March after we couldn't make free throws in December. I'm comparing baseball fans to basketball fans. "We're fine. Everybody loses at some point". Past tense. We got to the part where we make the tournament. Now we're on flat ground...

I don't understand basketball? That's what they said about me and baseball in 2010. Now I own that board because I led the charge that Jim Morris had gotten lazy after his divorce, marriage, and birth of his son. The result? Some of the worst baseball in Miami history has occurred in just the...

Shaking my head. Aim high, folks.

We've done worse the last two years than we did in 2016. Ease up on the "we're moving up!!!" routine. That wasn't good basketball we were watching.

Agreed. A football team that gets to 8 wins for the first time should have a goal of getting to 9 wins. And eventually to a better bowl. And to improve recruiting. And get some kids drafted.

We don't think our athletic teams should be losing in the round of 64. That's what makes us so weird.

So this is the best we can hope for. You people are seriously just happy that we made the tournament. FYI, three of the four wins it took to get to the two Sweet 16's that we love to cheer about were against #11, #14, and #15. Eerily similar to Jim Morris' two recent CWS appearances.
