See a Antione West in 2025 from Whitmer Ohio. Is that the guy you are referring to? Some folks have him #1 in Ohio.

If he’s not now, I bet he will be by end of his senior year.

We also outperformed what we were supposed to do last year…don’t understand that one?? 🤨

What's there to understand. If you are a 1 or 2 seed, you can't lose to a 16 or 15 seed period. And after the disasterous tournaments in the previous seasons reaching the final game is outperforming no matter how you choose to look at it.

Hmmm… I thought what we needed was a petition to get Painter fired ???

Painter was getting too comfortable and when you are too comfortable you tend to underperform. I have no problem with fans being upset and Painter deserved all criticisms for these epic loses.

That isn’t making sense. We were ranked number 1 at times (for third straight year) and were the second best team all year. We had the hardest strength of schedule. Expectations were a final four/NC—did you not expect that?, plus another big ten championship. And they did just that except for the NC because we, as fans actually got to see the two best teams against each other.

This isn't that hard. When you underperform 70% of the time in the tournament. There's a 70% chance that we don't make the final 4 even when we are expected to. Winning another game on the final 4 is exceeding expectation peroid.

So you’re saying that your FIRE PAINTER
Petition was the kick in the ass that Matt needed to work harder and get his team to the final four ?

Hmmm. I look at it year by year, as each team is different with players and the experience each player has. If all stayed the same, then I’d agree but since it doesn’t, i don’t agree with you. But you seem to always have some pretty pessimistic views so to each their own.

It wasn't my petition. I have way more important things to do. But I bet your redneck a$$ that Painter would have been called to BoBo office if we lose last year in the first round again...

Like cry on the internet about some teenagers you don’t know not playing basketball well enough for your liking.

Apparently you don't have more important things to do.

If you put any stock in the odds, you absolutely shouldn’t expect it because the odds are against you making the FF, even as a one seed.

It sounds odd to say it, but making the final four as a one seed should be considered exceeding expectations. Making it to the national championship game even more so.

This just sounds so incredibly whiney.

Ok well my expectations were that with the reigning NPOTY and everyone back.
