San Diego State Game Thread

[Eye of the Jay]

Hate playing San Diego St. Frustrating first half and meltdown of a second half.

Need Fedor to somehow get eligible and Steven to come back.

Great job Mac. Way to waste the final year of your star center with this shitty roster construction and play. People need to look at themselves in the mirror and ask if he really is the guy.

Are you seriously asking if the coach who when s16, R32, E8, S16 the last 4 year is the guy? Clear for some odd reason you don’t like Mac.

- No outright Big East regular season championships
- No Big East Tournament Championships
- Hasn't gotten past the Elite Eight
- Multiple underwhelming years

In almost 14 years


He built a competitive program but reached his ceiling as a coach. We need someone who can take us to the next level.

Wrong

[Jaybird]

Who are these morons on the post-game? This is adding insult to injury.

Mac said after the Tennessee game last year we needed to get significant more athletic, bigger, stronger, etc. So what happened? I know it’s not realistic to just replace Baylor and Trey so easily, but I thought we had gotten to the point as a program where we could reload more-so than rebuild.

If Isaacs and Neal were are two guys we really wanted in the portal, that’s an issue with identifying talent/fit. Or, we tried to get guys better than that but couldn’t because of $$, which is also an issue. I feel like a lot of the ugly losses we’ve had over the last decade are so similar. We aren’t big enough, athletic enough, etc. We got no better in those departments.

Also, I’m ready for the Miller experiment to be over. That goes for the coach and the player.

Mason, good kid but will never be more than a role player. Not sure what the issue with Ryan is, good recruiter and by all accounts a solid coach

The first point is cherry picking, yes we don’t have an outright BE title but we have a shared one where it resulted in us being the number 1 seed in the conference tourney

I think Ryan recruits stars/names and not fit. Huss a much better recruiter and coach, and we miss him quite a bit

You can't be serious. Have you seen Nova post-Wright they are a complete disaster. Mac is a great coach. I love to use this comparison, especially since they started coaching at their current schools during the same year:

Mac:
Overall: 329-162 .670
Conference: 160-99 .618
9 ncaas 7 second round,
3 sweet 16's 1 elite eight

Fran McCaffrey @ iowa:
overall: 285-192 .597
conference: 136-128 .515
7 ncaas 4 second round

Not to mention how great of a person Mac is. There are a lot of good coaches but not great people to lead the team and be part of Creighton and the city Omaha.

I honestly think we need to let LJ play. Both IT, JG, and MM are not providing anything. Big Fred actually does provide offense, but his D is bad. We need fedor to get eligible and hopefully LJ can provide like McAndrews.

For sure a rebuilding season.
