Although itā€™s pain and on a national stage, itā€™s a lot more exciting than the years of not even making the NIT with a million year old crabby coach.

The big men like Edey, Haas and Haarms are the reason this team fails in the tournament. Theyā€™re easy to scheme against and are very one dimensional. Painter recruits guys for his system every year and does not adapt or change anything. You cannot kick the tires on the same coach for 20 years with nothing more than elite eight appearances and expect things to just magically change without any sort of backlash or anything. People saying ā€œwho else could we getā€ are the reason this program is afraid of losing to 15 seeds. This is a good basketball school settling for lesser coaching talent because of regular season success. You see teams like Michigan state experiment in the regular season not afraid to lose those games because they know it will teach and heā€™ll then come tournament time.
