Coach K isn't likeable either, but Duke fans love him.
(Absolutely not comparing Mooney to Coach K, just saying that winning cures all complaints).

RPI is atrocious to use. Use KenPom...seriously.
What hurts the most is that when we are this bad- I could give 2 shits about college basketball in general. I've lost my appetite for college basketball in the past 2 years. I couldn't tell you who is the Top 25 this year other than usual suspects (Duke, UNC, Kentucky, etc.).
Classy tag. I wonder who that could have been!
It would be so awesome if dv7 could be get his Playground a la Kanhoji.
Yep... a joke
That tag wasn't mine. I'm an asshole, but I rarely hide that asshole-ness behind tags.
You are welcome to continue to post here, but nobody is making you do it. Don't like these boards? That's fine, but then you should probably stop coming back here, otherwise your words ring extremely hollow.
Could have been worse. We could have lost to BU (BC) or Tulane (GT). Tough day for ACC hoops. Should have won, but at least we showed some heart.
What's sad is we're entering a new Staak era. That means we're generating fans who are tolerant of poor basketball as long as it's not as bad as it was when they were in school. 10 years from now when a team fails to make the NCAA Tournament, some 2011 grad is going to post, "Well back in the Bz era, we didn't even win 12 games, so you all need to stop complaining".
