2023-2024 NCAA Men's Basketball Thread

State coaching searches are always dramatic, so probably positive for all of us.

Not going to feel bad for State missing their star guard in the first game of the ACC Tournament.

State was 4-1 in the ACC at one point this season. Finished 9-11.

I would say Keatts is gone but how much is he owed & how much can State afford to pay off?

Nice season for Miami. Ranked to start the year. Picked 2nd in the ACC. Finish 14th in the conference and end the year on a 10 game losing streak.

Lost to BC three times in 24 days.

I'd take their last 10 years in a heartbeat.

Still too soon.

Just amazing given their roster. I know they had some injuries, but so does everyone.

If they return everyone, they are bringing in some real talent and should be a very good team next year. But have to imagine morale and chemistry is terrible right now and there will be some attrition (which might actually be a positive).

I have to think Larranaga comes back for one more year. Don't want to go out like that.

I wonder if Miami’s implosion had anything to do with the NIL benefactor going bankrupt

That's what I really don't get. Larranaga is a great coach, and they're talented. WTF happened? I've been disappointed in Wake and UVA, but neither have had the horrific season that Miami has had.

Tons of injuries.

They want to can Keatts, so probably positive for state fans.

I'm not so sure that they (State) a.) will be able to afford the buyout and b.) get anybody much better right now.

 

[Pilchard]

Miami had their full team last night and BC blew out the Canes.

 

[Wakeforest22890]

I'd fire Keatts and hire Kelsey if I were State

Since when has b ever been a criteria for fans wanting to fire a coach.

Sure they were real motivated at this point of the season.

Any chance NC State hires Chris Mack?

 

[Pilchard]

Today's schedule:

None. And it's State fans we're talking about, so there's that as well.

 

[cville deac]

No way. They need to keep and extend him just like they needed to keep Herb Sendek back in the day.

 

[ChrisTheDeacm89]

Any chance NC State hires Chris Mack?

I'd actually be okay with this. Still have a lot of sympathy for everything Chris Mack went through and would love to see someone else from Skip's coaching tree back coaching in the ACC.
