    Please fire Doc. Diaz or no Diaz, losses are due to Doc’s poor recruiting (too many guards and not enough forwards) and his pathetic offense.

    Wow, 15pts in the first half. No talent, no depth, no defense, no anything. Wow. That was really really hard to watch. I can’t believe we have sunk to this level. But there is is! Wow.

  5. Brian says:

    I think you guys are hard on Doc. He is just a break or two away from getting over the top. I was watching Duke v. UNC and was thinking, man Nebraska is not that far behind. Ok, just kidding, I just hope TO ponies up for a real coach and does not go cheap. We pay our basketball coach towards the bottom of the BCS teams and we get what we pay for. We need to offer the job at $1.5 million or so and get someone good. That would only put us in the middle of the Big 10, but it is a start.
