Wow. That is depressing. 2 years since our last big win.

McGothlin has been a mystery indeed, I've been wanting to know his status. If he is hurt, just say so. To me this reads as everyone trying to get him an extra year of eligibility under the medical redshirt category, whether that be here or most likely somewhere else.

I honestly don't think Mooney cares about his legacy. He is a clock puncher, he does what is necessary to perform his job expectation, nothing further. If he really cared about his legacy, we would have heard or he would have done something to that effect over these past 2 sub par seasons...

Well it is being marketing as "fan appreciation night". Not sure in what ways they are going to show the fans their appreciations, other than by naming the game "fan appreciation night".

We will not know his seat is warm until it is red hot and he is gone, cause that is how these things work. But yes, I do agree with everything else you said. He should have been canned a long time ago if anyone was paying even close attention to the ins and outs of our program.

I think most of us who have wanted Mooney gone for the better part of 10 years have lost faith and view him as untouchable. However, the past 2 years as you point out are the lowest of his 21 years here and he has very little on the roster that gives hope for the future (outside of AA, we...

Yep, it is embarrassing how far this program has fallen. But it is more alarming that it appears our leadership doesn't fully know, understand, or frankly care to honestly see where our program currently sit.

Not that I saw. One would think we down at the end of the game and with Loyola have not 1 but 2 sub 50% FT shooters on the floor, that we would have exhibited maximum pressure and fouled either of these 2 players if our pressure didn't create a turnover. That's not what we did though. Just...

This goes with the territory of being a head coach of a D-1 program. If you don't want to be booed or having your family hearing you being booed, than you should have gone into a different line of work. And quite literally, if you are a fan of the program who wants change, you have the...

I know it has been noted but if you didn't watch the game, you truly couldn't appreciate how bad Loyola Chicago is, how bad they tried to give the game away to us after silly foul after silly foul and yet despite all of this, we still lost. Loyola could have just called a time out and...

Yes, and the NIL problem is only going to get worse because of the coaching problem and our admin needs to recognize that. 1. Program revenue is down, less tickets sales, less TV $$$ (because who wants to put a floundering program on TV) we obviously get very little in NCAA $$$ so we don't...

I don't know how Mooney says some of this sh*t with a straight face. As Brook points out, our switching defense has been exploited all the way back 15 plus years ago by St. Mary's. And here is Mooney pontificating on how we need to address it in 2025. If he is here another 5 years, he will...

I don't think keeping Burton would have necessarily made us a better team. Remember the year prior, CM tried to run everything through Burton and had he returned Mooney being Mooney probably would have done the same thing.

If you throw a punch (cheap shot), expect one to be thrown back at you. Evans just took out an SLU player with a cheap shot, Jones saw that and responded accordingly. But agreed they both should have been suspended a game each. There is no room in the game for play like that. Honestly, if...

I think is more because our program is not consequential enough to be worthy of discussion. Which is also Mooney's fault and another reason he should be on the hot seat.
