Perry actually got a degree here which is more than many of our players (even four year guys) ever do. Going to grad school somewhere else shouldn't be prohibitive.

He was here two years, his Jr. and Sr. seasons. He only has an extra year because of Covid. His career is like having a player sit on the bench his freshman and sophomore campaigns and then being great his last two years. It's not like that's never happened before.

What about him? He's already in the HOF.

Hamlet and Perry are both more than HOF worthy.

Generally White closed games because he was such a good free throw shooter we wanted him to have the ball in case he got fouled. Thompson also closed games though, just not as often.

Hamlet was our closer immediately preceding Perry. Before that probably Smart his sophomore year. Prior to Smart you may have to go back to Josh White.

I mean, I counted my pennies in school. I was able to afford things, but only if I then ate even cheaper than I usually did for a week or two afterward.

Or a loss by ECU would give us cushion should we lose to them in the rematch. Like I said, both results could benefit us.

That's a tough one to know who to root for to be honest. Losses by either team could help us.

Probably need to win this to assure us no worse than the 7 seed.

Yeah, it's buried on the athletics website. https://meangreensports.com/documents/2023/1/2/V2UNT_MBB_Media_Almanac__2022-23_.pdf

NT 80 ---------- Tulane 76 Final

NT 70 ---------- Tulane 62 4:13 to go Buckle up fellas...this is where some games have slipped away this season!

NT 66 ---------- Tulane 59 5:56 to go Noland, Scott, and Edwards all with big plays in that stretch. We need a long stretch of good defense...Tulane is shooting well this half.

NT 59 ---------- Tulane 54 7:54 to go This is starting to really feel like some of our games we lost in the final minutes. Need to really focus here.

NT 58 ---------- Tulane 47 11:34 to go Playing very well that segment...seemingly regained control.

NT 47 ---------- Tulane 40 15:27 to go Got the lead up to 13 but they're on a run.

NT 36 ---------- Tulane 27 Halftime Good half...gotta keep it up.

NT 31 ---------- Tulane 22 3:45 to go Playing solid ball right now. I like that Scott's offense has seemingly come alive again.

NT 24 ---------- Tulane 19 7:13 to go I feel like Jones and Noland are both looking more like their old selves.

NT 14 ---------- Tulane 11 11:42 to go Our offense has cooled down and the Green Wave has hit some shots. It's rarely easy on the road.

NT 12 ---------- Tulane 3 15:48 to go Scott, Jones, Edwards, and Buggs all with three so far. Balanced scoring!

If we do it and everyone else doesn't (and then loses to a bunch of names), or if some of our colleagues schedule weakly and lose several games, it ends up hurting us badly. The way this works is if the whole conference schedules similarly and basically goes undefeated.

Not just us....the whole league. And we can't lose to any.

I never said that exactly, though I can see how you may have misread it that way. I've said in multiple threads that the Big XII did really well OOC which means the league starts from a position it can't really fall from as they beat each other up. On the other hand when a conference takes a lot of OOC losses then when you beat each other up it just makes it seem as though it's mediocre. Leagues like ours do better when 1 or 2 schools (like Memphis and FAU) that do well in the OOC then go on to basically run roughshod though the rest of the conference. But when schools, like us, that lose to Fordham then defeat a Memphis - or FAU loses to Charlotte (who went down to Stetson) it really kills them. An opposite example of this from a power league perspective is this year's Pac-12. Someone like UCLA who lost to CSUN (at home no less) has gotten better as the season has gone on, but their first 15 games being so poor ruined their season. And now when they beat teams perceived as better it kills the league. That's why only Arizona and Washington State are likely to get in. And a conference like ours who cleaned up in the OOC (the MWC) is currently projected to get in six.
