re: One thing that the McMen cannot deny is that excitement around the program is non existent

I think part of that is the team not being good, but also the Will Wade mafia plays a part as well. If anyone says anything remotely positive about McMahon on here, this board torches that person and is sure to bring up Will Wade. It makes people afraid to say anything positive at all on here.

The fanbase is all kinds of fractured right now.

When I was young, and healthy, I'd take my now grown children and grand children to see CJ, Shaq, Rudy etc and it was a lot of fun. But what lost me on men's basketball was the Ben Simmons year. I haven't watched any college basketball, other than the Lady Tigers since then.

This goes both ways my friend. Anyone who criticizes Mcmahon or brings up Wade gets flamed into oblivion and told that losing close games is incredible.

The issue is that we have 2 extremes that won't give the other side an inch.

There are plenty of fans in the middle that loved Will Wade but also want McMahon to succeed. We can understand the issues with Wade and why he was let go but we also refuse to prop up bad results as a moral victory. I want a good basketball program and thus far, McMahon has not provided that.

Who in here is bringing up Will Wade? Oh, right.

And why wouldn't you expect people compare the current coach to the previous? Particularly when there is such a massive disparity in success.

Lol. It is Wade’s fault that there is no energy around the program. This is comical. It’s kind of like President Obama, blaming everything that went wrong and his administration on George W Bush. At some point, it is McMahon’s program. Good, bad, and everything in between.
