Tigers 6th Best in Tennessee - Updated 3/5/18 - Tiger1983 - 02-10-2018 09:43 AM Long-time Tiger fans may remember mocking Charlotte (formally UNCC) for their pretentiousness by labeling them 6BC (6th best in Carolina).

It's pretty reasonable to assume that Tubby gets next season. Its also pretty reasonable (barring another mass exodus of players) to assume that next year's team will improve maybe even enough to get to the NIT. This would probably lead to a 4th year for Tubby. The scary part, based on recruiting, is that Tubby's 4th year is shaping up to be freshmen and/or another scramble for JUCOs. Zero sizzle and excitement. RE: Tigers 6th Best or 7th Best in Tennessee - MemTigers1998 - 02-10-2018 10:25 AM 6BT Is that 6th best in Tennessee or 6th because of tubby?

We should rarely, if ever, fall behind the likes of ETSU, Belmont, and Lipscomb. Tubby is the primary reason we are in our current dire condition and there is little good reason to expect better in the future.

He was rightly pushed out for underperformance. Tubby was suppose to make things better, but he has accerated the downtown. We are actually worse now in Tubby’s second year than Pastner was at anytime in his tenure and by Pastner’s second year we were in the NCAA Tourney. We managed to hire someone performing worse than Pastner RE: Tigers 6th Best or 7th Best in Tennessee - MemTiger90 - 02-10-2018 12:40 PM (02-10-2018 10:24 AM)bluebacker Wrote: We can only hope that change is on the way. It's pretty reasonable to assume that Tubby gets next season. If Martin leaves, next year's team could quite possibly be our worst team ever.

It's pretty reasonable to assume that Tubby gets next season. We were 6-20 in Moe Iba’s last year, but he at least he recruited legends Larry Finch and Ronnie Robinson. Tubby will leave no such legacy. RE: Tigers 6th Best or 7th Best in Tennessee - Tiger1983 - 02-10-2018 01:48 PM I plan to trek to Lipscomb tonight (ahead or close to us by metics) to watch them play UNF. The Bisons (yes, the “s” is the way they spell it) are headed by a coach playing a fun style. RE: Tigers 6th Best or 7th Best in Tennessee - Tiger1983 - 02-10-2018 04:47 PM According to KenPom predictor, the Tigers would lose to Lipscomb by 3 points. I’ve seen the Tigers and the Bisons play and it does not surprise me.
