Seems like Kennard wasn't benched due to injury

Yep. I’m sure tensions have been high with the way the season has gone. Maybe there was a blowup of some sort.

Brutal not to have him on the floor when this team needs every iota of talent they have to pseudo-compete. I will say he at least seemed to be cheering his teammates on from the bench.

Nagy says this will be a team nobody wants to play at the end of the season. We shall see, coach. I hope you are right.  Davis not injured. Nagy said it was his decision not to play Kennard and that he will leave it at that.

I needed a good laugh today.  And that was certainly it.

I mean SIU will be a big drain on a teams SOS and NET and a loss against them would be a bad loss on a postseason resume so...he's probably right.

New strategy,  I will coach the team for 100k a year, and a truck, that would open up 500k for players.

Hard to believe the players and staff are getting paid for this, harder to believe I'm paying for it

If we keep losing by 30 every night, teams will love playing us.  We're like the low-major team high-major programs like Iowa State and Illinois play to win by 60 and help their NET.

If the admin didn't give Mullins a pass for the year he lost Domask to injury, then Nagy shouldn't get a pass this season for losing Elliot.

From my vantage point Nagy is on the hot seat.

Please define hot seat. He’s in the first year of a contract worth $3 mil.

He is no way on the hot seat.

I feel like you couldn’t do any worse

there is no hot seat.  the AD who just fired a saluki legend and went on a nationwide search to hand out a $3M contract to his replacement is not going to call another news conference and fire his guy the first year.  I mean, even by our standards, how stupid would that look?

Mullins fired for not competing with top couple teams in the league , so we hire someone that can’t compete with any teams in league .  
it is hard to believe this guy was hired , with the comments he has made that would lead one to believe he doesn’t embrace the portal.

the powers that be overestimated their ability to attract a good candidate, settling for 4th or 5th choice , gonna be a long several years

Our two best players (by far) out, this is about what I would expect. Still haven’t kept a conference game within single digits.

Disappointed to hear there were issues with KD…I was already preparing for his departure, feels like his fate is pretty much sealed at this point. I just don’t see how next year is going to be any different. I guess they’ll make sure they have a few shooters on the team this next time around. Feels like a big roster rebuild is on the horizon for a coach who doesn’t like doing it via the portal.

Leonard and Nagy are tied at the hip, so he’s not going anywhere anytime soon, unless Leonard gets canned or Nagy retires.

Program is ruined… it just is. Thanks Leonard.

At this point I miss Barry Hinson… would take him over Nagy right now if offered. At least Hinson looked like he gave a damn.

I don’t know if Nagy is going to work out, atrocious first year, but I do think he gives a damn. He has an odd way about him, but I do think he’s a competitor.

And I don’t miss Hinson one bit.
