Matt from A700

Ladies take their first AAC game, 5-0 tonight against an ECU team that was 21-2 entering the series. Back at it tomorrow.

If we miss out on the other two tournaments, then yes. Yes to any postseason basketball. Try to raise a banner every year.

I just messaged you.

Got this one claimed.

I've got a solo ticket left that became available in Section 111 right behind the UNT bench. Otherwise we've bought out the whole section. If anyone can use it, let me know.

Conference tournaments have already started. Thought this halftime score from the WCC deserved a mention.

Thankfully the FAU supporter I sat to next to my season tickets in 123 was cool. #15 for the Owls was his cousin.

I say just win though. I have no idea what the tiebreaker is for a multi-team stalemate. The five bottom teams (Wichita State, Rice, UTSA, Temple, and Tulane) could all finish 5-13 if Tulane beats Wichita at home, we beat Rice, and Temple wins in San Antonio but loses at home to UAB. I would just like to avoid Wichita State out of bias for their history, and Tulane because I don't want to have to beat someone three times.

Winning might propel a hot UTSA team into the 7/10 first round matchup at Dickies. UTSA is 11th with the same conference record as Rice and only has to play at home vs. Temple in their last game.

SEE Y'ALL THERE!

It's cheap just like its sponsor Taco Casa.

We had our chances. I won't say the refs cost us the game, but at least let me bitch about FAU. Just like the game in Denton last year, FAU needs to weather a run and they start flopping. Goldin is the worst. They are an incredible basketball team and don't need to resort to that garbage. I even yelled at the refs to be ready for it before the game started but apparently they didn't believe me.

Ball don't lie at the end there. Don't know how Stone was the one called for the foul when he was getting pushed. Then two missed over-the-backs on the free throw miss.

I agree that our crowd mics are either turned down too low or not positioned in the best place.

Less than 10 tickets left in the section behind our bench! But still plenty of $25 seats in the corner 112 section or $10 seats in the second level bleachers.

I saw that and that the Houston alumni chapter had quite a few people show up.

For people at the game, how's the crowd?

If 2023 was Caponi with a playbook and notes, I'd hate to see him starting from scratch...

I would love to see the alignment of major conferences go back to where it was 15 years ago, but I don't know if many of us would want to go back to the Sun Belt?

Memphis, Tulane, and USF do not have the brand names they think they do. All this horrible realignment has not left any more big-name G5's for the Big XII's or ACC's to backfill with. Memphis may have the history but right now I think Boise State is a bigger name than them.

My cubicle's not hidden enough to take the time to look at the past 5-10 years, but last year we only had three. Also, we didn't have a home game over Thanksgiving break either, since we were in the Bahamas.

But then you also have to factor in the small turnouts resulting from FOUR home games over Winter Break + another on the Saturday of Thanksgiving Break vs. a D-I team. I definitely think "the average Pit crowd" increased in size this year. Last year, there were hardly any people that sat behind the far baseline by the UNT bench. Now it seems Sections 123-124 get decently filled. SMU's big crowd may have been a one-off this year, but since Grant's CBI run and outside of Covid, we seem to have had at least one of those nice 6000+ crowds each year.

They should have been frustrated with their own terrible defense.

Gonna try to convince my wife/conservator to let me go to every game at Dickies next week between men's and women's. Can't wait.
