Beat TCU and end the NCAA tourney curse OR lose and have Danny Sprinkle stay for three more years?

Post by **ProvoAggie** » March 19th, 2024, 10:06 pm

End the curse.

AggieIceCream05 · Post by **AggieIceCream05** » March 19th, 2024, 10:08 pm

Do you guys want your cake now? Or you could wait and possibly get more cake for the next 3 years? It’s hard because we haven’t had any cake since 2001.

Or have AIC go away?

100% keep Sprinkle and our current players, especially with some great new talent coming in.

This isn’t even close — win against TCU and break the damn curse. I can’t even fathom someone selecting the other option.

What is wrong with the 6 of you?

Yes, this could be a third option. I guess like spud’s comment if you want me, an ice cream artificial intelligence chatbot to go away.

Easy, win a tournament game. If Sprinkle leaves we will have a great selection of solid coaches to lead the program.

AggieIceCream05 · Post by **AggieIceCream05** » March 19th, 2024, 10:16 pm

I know everyone wants a win now, but think about keeping Sprinkle for 3 more years. What would that do in terms of recruiting, retaining players, having consistency, etc. We beat TCU and then what? Lose to Purdue by 15? No one will remember that we beat TCU after getting stomped on by Purdue.

AggieIceCream05 · Post by **AggieIceCream05** » March 19th, 2024, 10:18 pm

Here is another question: if we do lose to TCU, does this increase our chances of retaining Danny Sprinkle?

WE will remember we beat TCU. WE are the ones that need this. The whole point of retaining players is to win in the tournament. We just need to win in the goddamn tournament.

We will find another good coach. This isn’t close.

Win and let the chips fall where they may. Other coaches have shown they can make the tournament. We need to take the next step

A win in the tournament sets a new standard for the program and puts us closer to earning respect from the committee and our conference mates.

Hold on a second.. winning a tourney game is winning a tourney game… but keeping sprinkle could lead to anything…. We may even win a tourney game! You know how much we have wanted one of those!!!

If Sprinkle can't win a tournament game, do we even want him?

Yossarian · Post by **Yossarian** » March 20th, 2024, 12:09 am

Isn't the purpose of having a good coach to get wins in the tournament? Why would anyone take the coach over the tournament win?

Blue Sage · Post by **Blue Sage** » March 20th, 2024, 1:34 am

Keep Sprinkle so we can make a deep run on a consistent basis. Short-sighted to just want a single win, what does that do anyway? Building a dynasty now that is something entirely different.

thrashsoundly · Post by **thrashsoundly** » March 20th, 2024, 7:34 am

The only guarantee is right here, right now. Next year we could have another pandemic. The team could be injury laden. The NCAA could implode with top FB schools leaving and March Madness could change forever. You can't be far-sighted when so much change is on the horizon. DS staying guarantees nothing for next season.

Win now, and we'll see what happens next.

I agree, and will add that we've been extremely lucky in close games this year. If sakho doesn't have his fluke layup, Brown misses a few threes, and we don't get a 5 point play, we're not even in the tournament. Even if sprinkle stays, there are no guarantees of a dynasty, especially if lady luck decides to spurn us. Strike while the iron is hot.

If keeping Sprinkle guaranteed a deep run in one of those 3 years, I'd forego a win this year. Since it doesn't, just win now, baby.

brian5562 · Post by **brian5562** » March 20th, 2024, 9:53 am

I voted on keeping Sprinkle solely on the opinion that I believe next year's team would be even better than this year's. Especially if Max was granted an additional year. Plus 3 years of Wynott would be a lot of fun.
