Not only did they not win or make it to a final four, but they didn't look like a top 4 team most of the year. Yes, they had injuries before the season, early in the season, and late in the season. They just didn't have the look of a champion from day 1. It seems Roy put all his eggs in this year's basket, but it didn't happen. Now he must rebuilt with a very green team.

  Yeah, the team was very inconsistent. I do think they were looking pretty good toward the end of the season, though, and then Henson got hurt. Despite that, they looked like they were ready to contend for a title...and then Kendall went down too.
  
  I'm not saying they weren't playing hard throughout the year, but it honestly looked to me like they were on "cruise control" at times. They came back to win a national championship, and I think they were kinda going through the motions until it was time to step onto the big stage. Then once that time came, they were so banged up that it just didn't happen.
  
  Had they all been healthy, I don't think there's any doubt they would be in the Final Four. I think it's probable that they would have made it to the title game. It would have been hard to beat UK in the title game, but the game at Rupp earlier in the season was a battle. Would have loved to have seen what I truly believe were the two most talented teams playing for a national championship. Doesn't matter now, though. Things just didn't work out.
  
  Next year has the potential to be a disaster. The backcourt should be pretty solid, with a lot of depth. However, Paige and Dex are NOT Kendall Marshall, in my opinion. The frontcourt is gonna be an inexperienced mess unless McAdoo does come back and/or they get a transfer or a late commit.

  Rumors of Doug Gottlieb and Kansas State having mutual interest in their coaching job...interesting IMO.
  
  I think Gottlieb knows the game and would be a good coach, and could step in and recruit/relate with players right away.
  
  No coaching experience whatsoever though...

  God I hope he takes it. He is unbearable on the radio and TV. Anything to get him off is a step in the right direction.

  Pitino STILL won't make the Hall of Fame.
  
  What the hell did he do to the voters?!?!?
• ironman02

  Haha. I don't think anyone likes Gottlieb.
  
  The residents of Manhattan, KS better keep an eye on their wallets/credit cards.

  I didn't say anything bad. I mean you did follow me around a while ago on various threads after we disagreed about a certain topic.

  Completely unrelated to anything important, Travis Ford(head coach at Okie State) has bought 400 student tickets to the OSU women's teams NIT final Saturday night.
  
  Pretty cool gesture by Ford.

  Yeah, I mean this isn't gymnastics or volleyball we're talkin' 'bout here, this is a display of athletes with questionable gender issues for the most part.

  Still the Naismith, Wooden and NABC Awards to be announced. Thomas Robinson may win one of them, usually given as a "consolation."
