What is driving me crazy is we spent between 5-6 million dollars on N.I.L. funds yet we have the worst roster we have had in 30 years? Doesn't make any sense. Do we have a GM to manage the N.I.L. money. Something is way out of whack.
Is the GM Duke Tobin?
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

Agree, this is beyond bizarre.

The only thing I can think of is that we are way over-paying our talent because there wasn't much left to pick from when RP got the job.

It feels like the administration is really butchering the NIL era.

Can’t disagree with anything said. Really disheartening. Maybe getting the two players still out back will help.

We had to overpay for basically a bunch of role players. Biggest disappointment has to be Robinson who has the lowest rebounding % of anyone on the team and doesn't have a motor at all neither does N'daiye. Those two are constantly lost on defense and we continue to switch on every screen, which is why we are getting beat and out of position. Pitino missed out on the best players from New Mexico and we got the two Euro's who are a little soft and role players. The defense is what is most concerning. No alphas on this team.
