Some funky business absolutely happened with Walker's fouls. He clearly picked up two early - announcers said it and the foul was on him watching it. I couldn't believe when he picked up his "3rd" in the first half that it got corrected to his "2nd."

What a game. Great job fellas. If Keisei just keeps getting hot, he might be on track to prove my ass very wrong. Need to see it against quality competition, however. FSU/BC are really, really bad.

Walker’s 3rd foul 9 min in cool cool good management Fred

Finally listening to parts of this. I'd agree. That wasn't as bad as some of you are making it out to be. I found him quite complimentary of the place. I would also, in theory, agree with him that he did his job as far as getting guys here. Two of Hoiberg's teams, if they were effectively managed from a leadership/culture/chemistry perspective, should have had their records flipped around. He also, according to everything I have read here and elsewhere, was just an absolutely terrible assistant coach from a leadership/chemistry/culture/basketball perspective. But nonetheless, that is a failure on FH, and FH alone, for letting stuff like that fester and for how long it did. I would have canned him a long time ago, recruits be damned, if he ever remotely disrespected my authority or undermined me. You absolutely, 100%, cannot have that on a coaching staff. There has to be harmony and cooperation.

Why not just say it?

Took care of business in impressive fashion, albeit against a horrific team. But we did it nonetheless

How’s everyone enjoying point-Walker?

I don’t support firing FH mid season.

I can’t watch another year of this man. I can’t do it. And we lose anyone with a pulse, from a bad team. Fred is an incredible human being and I’d even say an incredible coach/basketball mind. But this just has not worked out for whatever reason(s). And honestly I feel TERRIBLE for him and the guys. Zero animosity or hate here, and I’m not the type to be calling for a dudes job - I feel like this is more of a putting someone out of their misery situation.

We need a new coach, fellas. A fresh start is desperately needed here. And I say this as someone who was a full Hoiberg believer and just could have never believed it would come to this.

And we created all those good looks for them with our stupid defense from the 2000s.

Not that the bird hasn’t been screaming the last couple years… but for this season, this game will be the canary in the coal mine for me. Oklahoma is not great, and they won’t overwhelm us with pace. If this is a double digit loss, it’s probably safe to say we won’t win more than 1-3 games in conference.

Why? And be held accountable to my sh** takes and bs?

If Tulane wins Friday and UCF Saturday, we’ll have our coach Sunday. If Tulane loses or UCF loses we won’t have our new coach until the Creighton game.

We need someone who can make the high-low pass. Gary and Wilhelm don’t seem capable or willing.

The physicality they put on display in the first half vs St. John’s proved to be real.

Probably not a win under any other Hoiberg era team. Congrats to the boys. Played hard and pulled away. Made the necessary adjustments.

That too

Over helping like crazy.
