38 point loss. What adjectives can you use to describe it? And spare the excuses. Nobody loses by 38 points. The announcers showed a stat that it was the worst loss to an SEC opponent in over 5 years.
I know I can be negative Nancy but gawt damn. It was 18-4 when I turned it on and it just got progressively worse from there. 38 point loss??? I promise you it would have been 50 plus had they not emptied the benches and played skreet ball the last 4 minutes. Fuck this. Close the books on this season. Burn all records of it and start fresh this upcoming Fall. And please stop with the "Well, if you'd told me we would beat..." 11-20 overall. We lost 97-59 in an "Everything starts fresh...clean slate" tournament. It was Tennessee people. They were in the play in game because they were horrible too. And they beat us like we were Rihanna telling Chris Brown "No".
No fucking excuses going forward. No 5 year plan. No lifetime Pearl contracts. College basketball is a game where teams can change their fortunes entirely with the insertion of 2-3 new players. Pearl has a good (I use that term loosely) corp of players coming back with what is supposed to be a top 5 recruiting class coming in. Winning record. NIT at the absolute very least or burn this bitch down or quit wasting money and effort. 38 point losses make you a laughing stock.
