What’s your point? You are happy with having a program that can’t be expected to compete with top 25 teams?

At what point can we expect to compete with top 25 teams? When can we dream of making a NCAAT again?

No not at all lol.

My point is that they are better than last year but still have a long way to go. And another point is winning on the road in this sport in particular is very hard! McMahon is flawed, he has put together another roster with holes that can’t compete at the highest level or at the standard fans want. He’s got to fix it in the offseason, but this is what he’s got for this season so we have to play with it.

Apathy has set in, and it sucks. I didn’t realize they were playing tonight until midway through the second half. My son and I never missed watching the games, the last two seasons have been brutal.

I have said I think McMahon was a bad hire. I compare him pretty much to Mike White the former coach at La Tech who did great at Tech and stunk it up at Florida (fired of course). At Georgia, he isn't lighting it up yet either. White and McMahon came from mid-major conferences. Basketball should be the easiest sport to turn around for 2 reasons:
1) there are obviously fewer players involved compared to football and baseball
2) the teams with star players can't count on them staying even 3 years since you can leave college after only 1 year...thus, the talent level gap is normally not gigantic if you can recruit decently (obviously a McMahon problem)

Kim won the NC in her second season at LSU. McMahon will be lucky to make the NIT in his 2nd season. 'nuff said

Comparing McMahon to one of the best basketball coaches period is not in any way fair. Also ignoring the fact that McMahon has about 8 seasons of coaching experience compared to 24 for Mulkey.

This board trashes Kim mulkey and Brian Kelly who both arguably inherited a worse situation than McMahon


I think you are the only one that would argue that. Yes, I'm disappointed with the way things are going. But to say after being named coach all but 1 significant player transferred out he was still in a better position than those two is not only laughable but ludicrous to say. Go troll the Arky board.

Say what you want about the job McMahon is doing but this is a laughable take

Valid point that Mulkey is one of the all-time greats and I'll add that the SEC WBB is not as balanced as SEC MBB. However on your second point, isn't 8 years enough time as a coach to prove how good you are? You don't need 24 years to do that.

31st in team rankings is the main issue. And I don't take stars as gospel but you need to eventually get a stud player...ratings or no ratings. McMahon hasn't remotely come close to getting one of those.

you know he wasn’t fired right? He also went to the elite 8 and had a winning record in the NCAA tournament.

Georgia is better this year than they have been in a while. And better than any year they had from his predecessor.

If only some of these dummy's knew basketball. Mac started with one player and was staring down NCAA probation. Nobody wanted this job because of that. The advent of NIL saved our bacon...and Wade's azz too.
