That is the same as his second year.  However, is overall record was better his second year.  Only his first year was worse.

Quote from: liljo on Yesterday at 11:31:13 pmAnother question: If you could have Drink's schedule, or Sam Pittman's schedule, which would you choose?

Obvious.

If Cal exceeds Muss's accomplishments in 5 years I would be surprised and that's with a lot more money thrown Cal's way.
Did Muss piss off Tyson?  We'll probably never know who made Muss leave.

Other misses in my book, Walker, Robertson and Kleine on the same team and didn't get much to show for it..

While I agree Nolan was putting up with a lot of crap in his last years and his heart may not been into recruiting. That 03 squad was shaping up to be pretty good. Brewer, Modica, Ferguson, Andre Iguodala, Olu Famutimi, JJ Sullinger, Vincent Hunter and possibly AL Jefferson. Then with Steve Conley JR and that big guy Greg Oden joining in 06. Granted some did not turn out, but what could have been.....

Quote from: FineAsSwine on Yesterday at 02:32:14 pmI have been traveling the world and enjoying life and I come back here and see that you are as childish as ever. Besides, what's with you and your "concern" over where I have been? I never gave you a second thought but I see you have been searching the highways and byways of your feeble mind looking for me.

The only thing you can point to is that I recently resumed posting which to you can only mean that I must have hated Muss. Wow, you are really a waste of time. Why don't you just pretend I'm gone again. I think the quality of the board would be much improved without this mindless crap.

Because they don't have the internet around the world!

I finally figured it out. For the last three years you've been walking a picket line protesting St John's unfair treatment of Mike Anderson!

Quote from: JenksHawg on Yesterday at 08:25:55 amWe were not a Top 5 team.  We finished 10th.  We had an incredibly easy road that year to the Elite 8 - favored to win all 3 games to get there and almost lost to ORU.  The next year was also solid.  The last 2 years were failures. 

I'd much rather be relevant all season long, finish Top 5 in the SEC, Top 20 overall, and lose in the 2nd round that be disappointing all year and get lucky with an easy path to an Elite 8. 

Luck is a way of describing someone else's success.

We all know the rules. Survive and Advance. Win the game that is in front of you.

Arkansas made it to the Final 4 in 1990 without ever having to play a team above a #4 seed. Was that luck? Should we strike that Final 4 from the record books?

Quote from: donnie on Yesterday at 07:31:03 amSure people see things differently. People also invent things in their heads.

Did the officials cause Colgate to lose the TO battle by 12?

Did the officials cause Colgate to go 11/31 on 2 point FGA?

Even if you evened up the FTs (which is stupid; some teams foul more and especially so when they are overmatched athletically) we still win by 7.

Weird how we averaged allowing 17 FTA over the whole season and Colgate shot 17 FTs.

The only reason Colgate started with a prayer is Vanover. Once Muss went small and fast it overwhelmed them.

Exactly.
This is actually a game that really made me admire Muss's coaching even more. He wasn't really known for going 'up-tempo', but that's what this game called for, and that's what he did. He unleashed his athletes and gradually overwhelmed slower Colgate, and we won going away. We really turned up the pressure full court on Colgate to get them running up and down the court, even though Muss rarely played full court.

Contrast to Stan Heath against Bucknell in 2006, who should have done the same thing,but the only way he knew how to play was slow down Big Ten ball, so naturally we take the upset loss.

Good coaches adapt, bad coaches are like a broken record.

Quote from: SWD26 on Yesterday at 07:05:08 amI thought Colgate got some rough officiating in that game; the second half was called much differently, and definitely in Arkansas favor. I also thought that was one of the games where Coach Musselman was very much outcoached.
I believe there would be a whole lot more upsets in the tournament overall if the "big name" teams weren't somewhat protected.

So the refs didn't protect Kentucky and Auburn enough last month, thus Oakland and Yale.
