Just stating facts, but the two years that we had nice draws, we had injuries. ZZ was out 2 years ago. Kyle Alexander got hurt in game one in 2018. While Kyle wasn’t dominant, he was a key defender/contributor that would have helped against Loyola Chicago’s big man.

And UT beat UF by 20 this year without ZZ. You make adjustments.

IIRC, Alexander dressed out in that game vs. Loyola. I may have put him in on D near the end of the game just for his size. Just stand under the goal with your arms up. Didn't they hit a layup to go ahead?

IF any coach uses the word blessing or blessed, do they really have the driven desire to attain greatness, I think not.

So you are of the opinion that
1) Felling blessed is a negative.
2) This season is a total failure.

1st time in SCHOOL HISTORY we made three straight sweet sixteens.
1st time in SCHOOL HISTORY we made two consecutive elite eights.

I feel blessed a lot of times. If you are ignorant enough to think that Rick Barnes wanted this Final Four more than any earthly desire, you are more wrong than you know. He is driven by a higher calling. He feels blessed to have made it to where we were. I guarantee he is not happy with the results. You need to look more toward the meaning of feeling blessed.

Getting screwed over by the refs in the SECT really killed our chance this year.

instead of getting that cakewalk bracket the lizards got (and got exposed in), we had to face a gauntlet with kentucky, houston).

If we had that #1 seed in the west bracket we would've broken through. But the refs screwed us out the SECT and the better team got the worse seed and bracket.

UConn and Texas Tech would have been very tough to beat.

Reminds me a lot of last years team. Too soft. Offense looked like a game of hot potato. No nasty dogs taking over in the paint

If it were only that simple. We made the Sweet 16 without ZZ, but losing your PG can only take you so far, especially against an FAU team that had good guard play.

Losing Alexander was the day before the game. You can't change anything with your roster.

Beating UF this year was at home, and we had extra motivation. There are variables in all of this.

I opinion is that there’s only one team that cuts down the nets at the end of the year and that’s not going to be us but that team whoever it is has had a good year we failed that meeting and we didn’t even act like we wanted to be played. Proud of our guys proud of our coach, but as a fan I don’t feel good about this year just because we didn’t keep on winning.

Hey, look! Auburn showed up for their big game and won. See? It CAN be done. HA!

I know. Too soon. Gotta go keep things a little light around here so we don’t lose our minds. Myself included!

Bruce has a WARRIOR mindset. Not a be thankful for any outcome mindset. Never show mercy is the winning way.

Bad take. Real bad. Just terrible.
I believe Pat Summitt often said she was blessed. Did she have the 'driven desire to achieve greatness'?

I knew Pat well and she would rip off the head of an opponent and stomp on it. Her Father was a real tough guy and thankfully put that fire in her. Ask any ole timer in Ashland City.
