Other schools get it done. Not sure why we struggle to get anyone half decent to play here

We had Derrick Phelps at USF and UNC wouldn’t come here. In the past USF would get lucky having a Ohio State or Seton Hall swing in before or after a tournament in Hawaii. Our focus should be continuing to target elite mid major programs like Wichita State etc to come to SECU.

Got bullied in the second half on the boards. Great first half but the better team woke up at the break. Refs were not good but not the reason we lost, osu got too many good looks and made them. our bigs need to do better. It is difficult where they go against teams without any post presence to two wide loads like yesterday. if we can put together first halves like the last two semi consistently and take our Ohio shooting home with us, there may something

So I'm just gonna keep laughing at these big-name teams when they lose to the mid-majors in the tournament because the coaches are too scared/elitist to get themselves in a hostile situation in November or December when a loss there really doesn't matter to them. You think a tourney team like Ohio State is gonna get hurt much by a loss on the road at Akron now? Not hardly. Will they be hurt by a loss to Akron in a neutral site in the 4-13 game of the NCAA Tournament? You're damn right they will be. Duke is another great example. K won't go into another team's gym unless forced to by the Big Ten/ACC Challenge schedule. Whenever he'd play Temple 'on the road', he'd play them in the Wells Fargo Center instead of playing them on campus (10,000-seat arena). Duke's history of flameouts or near flame-outs to mid-major teams in the last 7-8 years is documented. As a college basketball fan, games like Virginia at James Madison and UNC at Charleston are a lot spicier than the other way around. But the vast majority of power 5 conference coaches are either too elitist or too scared (or both) to take a risk on just one game in their non-con season.

We all know this isn't true
