Here's a guy who sounds defeated (from The Athletic):

Arizona State coach Bobby Hurley on Wednesday night sounded like a coach who knows his time in the desert is coming to an end.

After a promising start to the season, the Sun Devils lost for the seventh time in eight games, falling to West Virginia 75-63 at Desert Financial Arena. Arizona State is 10-9 and 1-5 in the Big 12.

"We failed. I'm failing. I can't get through to the team,'' Hurley told reporters after listing some of Arizona State's mistakes against West Virginia. "I don't know what else I can say."

In the final year of his contract, Hurley's future at Arizona State has been in question for a while. In his 11th season, his 178 wins rank second in school history, but the Sun Devils have recently stalled. ... The Sun Devils have struggled particularly at home. Wednesday's loss dropped them to 5-4 at Desert Financial Arena, a facility that is years past its prime.

"We have not played well here — in years," Hurley said. "Like since before COVID. We had this place cooking before COVID. Now it's a sterile environment. We don't win here. We don't give our fans any reason to show up with enthusiasm to think that we're going to win a basketball game. We have been dreadful at home for years. ... Bottom line."

Tough luck for X with no call on X drive, and then a really soft call to put CU on the line leading to the free throw, missed FT and winning shot. Despite all that, box out the shooter and its a W for X after getting crushed by Creighton at home.

Haha It was just a golden eagles roster! Didn't want to offend the sensibilities of any warriors on here

This can only help. The volume of spitting on opposing players/umps/fans had taken a real dip, leading to some subpar seasons.

Quote from: Hards Alumni on Today at 06:14:53 AMI've seen enough.  Blow it all up.  Trade GA, get some picks and start over.  New coach, new GM. 

Yeah, I think you have to trade Giannis before he starts to decline or gets hurt. This team is more than one offseason away from contending.

So, Brewers fans, a new enemy?  Mets engaging in the arms race insanity with the Dodgers?

The Cardinals are so back.
