Well I think we’re done. We had it down to 8 with the ball then got sloppy and it went to 19 in no time. Hopefully we’ll do better at USF. 17 turnovers.
Griffin for sure.
This group has some players and is underachieving. But it is still a losing team. Too many missing pieces to compete in this conference in any serious way.
It doesn't look like the team will go on a huge run to save Haith's job.
TU needs to make a fresh start. I'd like to see the new coach retain Pritchard, Griffin, Dalger, Gaston-Chapman, Nikita and Idowu, if he has another year. I haven't seen enough of the other freshmen to know if they have potential.
We need an energetic coach who can combine savvy recruiting with shrewd usage of the transfer portal to rebuild the team.

One missing piece is at the head coaching position. It is way past time for a change
Haith has been hanging his hat on “single digit losses”. He found an unusual way to get this one. Blames it now on losing KES and having to essentially start over after that. Personally I think Pritchard should have played in front of KES to start with. But Haith loves KES and Haywood.
You need to learn to dial down the "I care" knob by a few numbers.
This season that one cannot go to 11.
The good news is we played them even the second half, the bad news is we lost the first half by 11. Chapman looked pretty good there at the end of the game. He’s always looked good in warmups but this is the first time I’ve seen that in a game.
Looks like Gaston Chapman should have played over kes too.
Gaston Chapman may be another in the long line of good freshman that never got a chance with Haith.
Not to sound like an ass, because that's not my intent, but the results were the same, whether Frank is "coaching" or just sitting. Which makes me wonder: Is Frank even needed? (I definitely have my opinion on this) The team is on auto-pilot and they can carry on the history of not guarding the 3, not having a decent in-bounds play, standing around on offense, blowing a lead, etc. without the guidance of Frank. It reminds me of the year that Buzz was the coach and we had all the talent, but Buzz wanted to do things his way, and he stunk it up. It appeared the team finally had enough of Buzz and started playing the way we all knew they could, and they started winning. Of course Buzz was there to accept the kudos. We're running out of time, but hopefully this team will have enough of Frank.
It is not bad news to lose a coach after 2 years. Just means we made the NCAA. I would rather have three years though as that really makes a program.
Was this in his post game comments? I’m usually so disgusted I never listen to him. He really blames losing KES to grades for the losses and thinks single digit losses are good? That is so wrong.
I guess losing KES snd Early to grades will give the new coach a couple more scholarships.
It came from the announcers having talked to Haith. They said he had to start over after losing his starting point guard LES to grades. Apparently that is what he related to them. I don’t think anyone on here misses those players at this point.
That’s strange the announcers would say that. From what I found and remembered, KES started the 1st 4 regular season games but Pritchard started the UALR and pretty much started from game 5 thereafter, with a few exceptions.
Every away game the announcers talk about their discussions with Haith that day. He is working them hard. ( single digit losses, losing KES, lots of new players, record would have been 16-8 with a couple of points here and there, etc).
KES, during his entire career at TU has been an average (at best ) shooter, a less than average handler
(particularly for a PG), and even less adept at initiating plays from the PG position....
If Haith is saying that losing a player of that caliber for one semester has had that dramatic of an
impact on his program, He is telling the world He's a damned poor recruiter, or that he can't keep the
better ones past one season.....Both are true, actually........
KES not panning out to be the player he was projected to be meant we had to start over. Damn good thing he decided to get LA disease (lazy arse), or Pritchard would be sitting on the bench contemplating where he was going to transfer, just like most newcomers to Franks rosters.
