  • When a team gets ahead and plus ahead for a considerable portion of games but consistently fritters away leads and games it is because of what has not been instilled in practice and what has not been reminded during games whether by example or indoctrination.

      Not sure how to answer your 1st question. Question 2, no. Question 3, I can't speak for anyone but myself. He wasn't the correct hire at the time. Question 4, no, but not for the reason you might think.

      • I certainly have mixed emotions. It's just hard to root for failure but at the same time I want change and asap. What I am afraid of is that the conference is so weak we will APPEAR to be better than what we really are and I think it is a likely scenario. Hate to even think about next season with this group minus CP, listen to all the hype about new recruits only to see them fizzle, and struggle again. Just no confidence we have the right staff to improve.

          Well, that is certainly and interesting answer!

              Or because your big man unfortunately was gassed at the same time your other big got injured, and you then got predictably run on.

              • shockers beat the spread. they just have trouble finishing, like happens to EVERY team full of newcomers. they will get a lucky break (against, say, tulsa or usf) and then ride it. it will all come together.

                  My expectation is the team by the time it gets to non-conference will start playing just good enough that it will be enough that they have to keep HCIB.

                    That expectation is quite depressing.

                      You mean to conference?

                        If this team wins more than five games in conference I'll eat my hat.

                          Yes, that is correct

                            KenPom has had a pretty good handle on WSU this year. They have projected WSU will go 9-9 in conference. HCIB is not getting fired for going 0.500 in conference. The media will be talking about how good of job he doing just to be 0.500 after turning over his roster. They will blame the roster turnover on NIL.

                              It's not the refs fault that we were out of control so much. I can't recall any charge call that I could have even argued should have or could have been a block. I also can't recall any the other way.

                              Are there missed calls? Of course. Was this game one sided or inconsistent? Not at all.

                              And I agree with some others that I didn't think the CP review towards the end would get reversed until the final angle, which I thought showed it went off of Craig.

                                Let's say 7-5 non-conference and 9-9 conference. 16-14 going to Fort Worth. That's purgatory. Maybe not bad enough to make change. Definitely not good enough to have any optimism going forward.
