Oh yeah. I've never said this team is good. Losses to GA State and Tulsa prove it. We were closer in the upset type games last year too! Dunleavy needs to find himself a Shaq type who can dominate the inside on pure talent or I fear this will be the type of season we'll be seeing for awhile.

I like the guards, but the forwards don't do anything. They are scared of getting nasty inside and fouling or something.

Same thing as last year. Last year MD had the excuse of a limited roster. This year he brought in some big men and they're nowhere to be found

This team needs to recruit AMERICAN forwards. International forwards are almost always tissue paper soft.

You Tulane fans are funny as hell.

You went from happy to see a much improved team to upset that they aren't a top tier team in this league in a heartbeat. Baby steps man. There's going to be a lot of two steps forward and one step back.

The cupboard was emptier for you guys and you're in a tougher league. Your rebuild may take longer but you'll be ok.

Ehh.

I will say this: I don't think Dunleavy...

1. Has the starting five he actually wants.
2. Is bothered about record this year - he's looking at players and figuring what he wants to do.
3. Is looking to "win now" at all costs.

This might just be his "final job" of sorts. His approach to this is very macro-oriented.

UConn is 3 points away from being 4-1. Get the W at Memphis and UConn will be streaking when Nova comes by in a week.

The season seemed pretty clear to me after the GA State and especially Tulsa game. This is not an NIT team. That was my bench mark for the season. We're not gonna make it, I can't get excited about"moral" wins anymore. At a certain point as a fan you gotta say put up or shut up.

Well, you have completely unrealistic expectations then. Almost everyone outside of Tulane fans is impressed with what is happening there.

Tulsane fans off their rockers!! Live Action!!

Looks like a CBI type season for Tulane. That's actually an improvement.

I don't know. But I like Adams more and more. Kid is a baller for sure.

This is turning into a fun and competitive league. Pretty much anybody is capable of winning or losing on any given night. Fun to watch.

GG Temple. Just go ahead and do the rest of the conference a favor and lose your remaining games because your season is officially over. Smh
