Futility

[Da Coach]

With the repeated reference to the "west of the Mississippi" streak, there are numerous other bad numbers under Geno that keep getting ignored by our media-

Geno's road record- 6-35
Geno's neutral court record- 0-13
Combined record away from home- 6-48
Geno's road record against MVC teams: 2-29
Geno's record in MVC tournament- 0-3
Geno's record vs. Top conferences- 0-13
Geno's MVC record in 3 seasons- 16-41

seems I recall the former coach had a winning record against the top conference teams...
..we beat Cincy, Rutgers, DePaul, Kansas, Pitt, Miami, Butler, Iowa State, Providence, So Miss, Iowa, VIRGINIA (at Virginia), Tulsa, USC, ILLINOIS - some of them multiple times....Mo did likewise - Ole Miss, DePaul, Oregon State, etc...

Those numbers are embarrassing and impossible to ignore, but our AD seems to not notice how far down he has brought this program.

As bad as these last 4 years have been, what concerns me is that we seem to have no hope for improvement in the future.
Examples:
I can't think of a single player recruited by Geno in these last 4 years that has shown improvement from one year to the next. In many cases, they appear to regress.
A large number of Geno's recruits leave after 1 or 2 years, before their eligibility is up, and we start over with new, unproven recruits.
The huge majority of our players (9 of them) are juniors or seniors, and 4 of the juniors are 4th year juniors, yet we play like everyone is fresh out of high school.
We do not have a single recruit committed for next year, and it doesn't look like we are even close to landing anyone who could help this team. That probably means more junior college players coming in next spring, and more players leaving before their eligibility is used up. What happened to the promise of impact recruits, and getting the top players out of Chicago. Was I just dreaming that?
And finally, we don't just lack the talent to compete in the MVC, we lack the coaching- this team plays bad fundamental basketball that even grade-schoolers learn; they can't shoot, they can't even make free throws well. I haven't seen one facet of the game we appear to be any good at, and that falls back onto the coaching. Have we ever even won a game we weren't favored to win?
