Re: 3/12 | Saint Louis | 4:30PM (ESPN+) | A-10 1st Round

I was ready to go into the offseason with a good feeling that Archie was the guy to turn this around. Today completely changed that for me, its beyond inexcusable how he managed to keep Zek in this game, its baffling and has to raise legit concerns about his ability to coach. Not good.
