Does anyone truly believe this team deserves a tournament spot? I know as fans we want them in, but have they earned it?

And does anyone really believe we would win a game?

The only question I'm really interested in is will Coach Mac be back? This season is shot and getting blown out in two tournament games I'm not so interested in.

The baseball program is at a crossroads, similar to football in Petrino's final season and the men's hoops team today. The big difference is Coach McDonnell who I believe is capable of making the necessary adjustments, but maybe not willing to do so.

Explanation for decline

I remember watching Pete Rose take out Ray Fosse to win the 1970 All Star Game. Back when the All Star Game meant something. No live interviews of players - managers during the game bs. FOX and the other networks destroyed MLB. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the rules prior to the DH and later changes.

Nolan Ryan once threw 235 pitches in a 13 inning game. Just think how ridiculous that would be today.

The game truly changed with free agency and players started making millions a year. It was bound to happen, like it did in the NFL and NBA. It's all about entertainment today and not the love of the game.

I think just after a handful of games this upcoming season, it's going to be unbelievably revealing just how bad the KP years really were. The atrocious won lost record notwithstanding.

The past two seasons were not going to be great even with a good coach, but it wouldn't have been as incompetent as it was. Those two seasons proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that KP had no clue how to run a basketball program.

For years to come, both media and fans of the game are going to wonder what the hell was UofL thinking hiring KP in the first place. As far as I know, it has to be the worst hire in major college basketball history.
