Say what you will about Mike White and the Hoop Dawgs this year, but this is a bit of an improvement over last year’s team, which ended up making the NCAA Tournament.
Huge game coming up tonight in Nashville against a ranked Vanderbilt team. Pull an upset there, and I think we can safely say the Dawgs are dancing again in 2026.
White has elevated the program from the scorched earth he inherited. Meanwhile his replacement at Jean shorts u has a national title in their trophy case.
Both teams have improved, that’s true. White may soon reach his plateau here, but I’m not sure he has yet. If/when he does, then I’d expect Brooks to find the next guy to take us higher.
God help us when football gets into that much made up and flagellent statistical analysis to see who makes the 28 team playoffs coming to a streaming service near you soon.
