I think this game was the catalyst for this season. I firmly believe that the end of last year has been the driving force behind this year's success.

That UNC was a tough one, but possibly a big reason of why the team is currently ranked #6 in the country.

Agree. It was a little rough seeing my reaction post-game. Definitely got back on the bandwagon shortly after, but oof--probably one of the most knee-jerk (and partially whiskey-fueled) posts I've had.

That said, recruit over Kolek all day long and make him a role player down the road.

Are we just going to ignore this? heh.

Shocking that willie and Farley were the two biggest posters in this topic.

I hope they recruit over Kolek and make him a role player next year. Could you imagine how good that team would be?

The future of the program starts with this off-season, not with what happened yesterday.

Recruiting, player development, the coaching staff learning from what went wrong this year all are far more important.

I'm wrong so often I was pleasantly surprised to see this. We'll see on the recruiting, but the last two they have excelled in.

I am pleased with the direction of the program under Shaka.

At the outset of the season,I thought we would make the NCAA tournament and be in the upper tier of The Big East . We accomplished that . Shaka got to work right away bringing in transfers and keeping the recruits .

We signed a couple nice prospects for 2022 and have a lot of irons in the fire for 2023.

I expect we will hit on some solid players in the transfer portal.

Next season we will field an even better squad .

Yesterdays game was a disappointment . However ,my disappointment was not in Shaka. The team was getting very good looks early on but missing the shots . MU never settled in and shot poorly despite having many good looks . Our players were not up to the moment and UNCs players were.

To my way of thinking, yesterday was similar to when Buzz 2011-12 squad crapped the bed against Florida in the S 16 that year . The next year we came back and made Elite 8

Here was my take after last years game….

I think many on here were very disappointed, but excited about the future. I sure was wrong the transfer portal.

Signs you're a complete douche:

-Using the word "triggered"
-Believing supposedly "triggering" someone is some kind of accomplishment
-Calling someone an "old man" or a "boomer"
-Legitimately believing you actually have some kind of "power" or are "manipulating" anyone, which says more about you than anyone else.

Responding to inane, idiotic posts full of nonsense and hyperbole when I should ignore them is definitely a fault of mine.

Primarily what I take issue with is the thought that someone doesn't have high expectations for or concerns about the program or Shaka if they don't completely lose their sh*t over a terrible loss or a tough last month of the season. There are PLENTY of reasons to be optimistic about the future of the program. Perspective is actually a good thing. You clearly are not capable of displaying it.

As far as self-reflection goes, the only one in this exchange who needs a massive dose of it is you.

I stand by both my evisceration of Farley and my optimism on the future of the program after a tough end to the season.

I said before this season that neither a NIT berth or playing in the 2nd weekend of the tourney would shock me because I thought the potential ranges of outcomes were that wide because there were so many unknowns.

However, I never would have guessed we'd have such a special regular season, winning the Big East and likely getting a 3 seed. Amazing.

A psycholgist would enjoy this thread. Dont even need body language to identify the sociopaths.

But he is consistent. And woe to us all if MU gets upset between now and the end of the season. Ignore feature is your friend.

There is a high probability that we will hear from Farley and the like before the tournament is over. Good news, the credibility factor of their posts will be diminished a great deal this year.

It would take a very twisted mind not to appreciate this team, the effort put forward and season of success. I want to win badly in March, but this has been a special season to me, regardless of final outcome.
