I was on the Alford bandwagon when they hired him, but have grown less and less enamored. His post season record is even worse than his conference record, though.
I agree. He's just getting ripped because you don't often hear of a team from a big time conference crying about getting into the NIT. If he was complaining about the NCAA it wouldn't be a story. Alfor just never seems to make his players better. They look like the same player their freshman year that they look like their senior year. When they were hired, who'd have thought that Kirk would be the good hire?
