No, we’re not firing coach Painter after an overtime conference loss even if it was at home. These things happen, but there was plenty of weeping and gnashing of teeth over this as if we were blown out by 50 by Norfolk State. If it happens in March, that is another thing. This team still has plenty of time to earn a high seed and still should be a second weekend NCAA team. The national rankings this week reflect it as here is the AP Poll:
