The motto for Mediocre Mike has always been a .500 record in conference play and we use the wins for an awful non-conference schedule to make the tourney. His idiot followers and the administration love the underdog role and embrace it to the max. He is the coach that does more with less and we are lucky to have him. A sweet 16 is the same as winning a national championship in their eyes. I don't blame Brey for the state of the program but you think as a supposedly elite coach, he would have had offers from top quality programs that have more prestige and money to offer. Either he is not highly thought of around basketball circles as a top flight coach or he is satisfied with collecting a paycheck and staying in the background. Less pressure and a steady paycheck. Maybe he knows he cannot recruit in the cesspool of the AAU circuits and prefers an easier way of recruiting.
I always thought my alma mater strived to be the best in academics and athletics but the mission has gone awry.
