I really don't want to revisit that whole thing because it was a disaster. You didn't start the thread to praise Underwood. It was a Tempo thread. And the fact that it went 47 pages made it a complete disaster.
Here’s a quote from me I found interesting.
’m not looking to throw Underwood under the bus, or to replace him or anything like that. He’s far exceeded what I thought he’d do in year 4 even if going from my thoughts of two years ago. I will say that this loss is probably the toughest tourney loss we’ve had in nearly 40 years, with the only possible exception the ‘01 loss. But at least then we lost to a team many thought was at least as good, or perhaps better than us. Unlikely, but if Ayo and Kofi or even one of them were to return it would lessen the sting a good bit.
Overall, the program is clearly moving in the right direction; but this was a really strong opportunity to reach the championship game. Really only perhaps the 3rd time we could call ourselves a favorite to do so in my not so young anymore lifetime. I’m excited about the future, but this was a missed opportunity; and our history suggests we only get this close maybe every 15 years or so.
