Doesn’t strike me as a pair of men that want to grow where they are planted.

What a happily boring win. I could use more of these

Totes understandable.

I'm particularly interested in winning 10 games.

We're talking about closers. You wanna talk about Kai shutting down Jelly? start a new thread about defense. You seem happy to start new threads.

Kai is not in the same convos as Perry/Hamlet/Smart. I remember Tristan being incredible, but I guess old age and hazy memory leaves me questioning if he was a closer or not. Simply don't remember.

@Matt from A700 yep! I immediately thought of that famous clip. Grant in Denton, Year 1.

"nah, this would never happen. Congress would get involved." Nope.

"Twilight years"?! My friend, this is just the beginning.

What if they were throwing tortillas? I think that would be more adult-like.

I still think there is some tough, quality, basketball being played in spots 2-7. USF's consistency is remarkable. ALMOST as remarkable as our Sun Belt football run.

Just my personal 0.02, but I feel like if you've won the NIT, you have played some legit T25 basketball to make that kind of tournament run. Even if it doesn't reflect in the polls.

Man! Kudos to the MWC for climbing their way into a position to have so many bids

I feel like this is a toss up. If the at-large is REALLY GOOD, it could steal their thunder and take an actual title. If we're talking about a 1-loss at-large team that is overmatched against a powerful Georgia team, the SEC/B10 will laugh and welcome it. They can say "look, the system works! The little guys get a chance" while still easily taking a title, tons of money, and increasing the gap. Having a shot at the title is what everyone wants to talk about, but the real problem we want to address is the gap between the haves and have-nots.

The top half of this conference is a blood bath

What platforms will this be available on? I'm assuming Playstation and XBox are on this, but want to make sure.

Not gonna dive through all of that, but one poster said Rice went on a 23-1 run. Unreal!

I myself think it's the dirty undies. The laundry. The whites.

Rice blowing out UAB in Alabama is wild to me.

We landed Jamario because we have resources that accommodated his dyslexia. We regressed, but it's not like there is the cavernous divide between our program and TxState's 8-win season. If we were only winning 2-3 games, then I would totally understand a recruit going with Kinne and Co.

I mean, we destroyed Cinci in a bowl game once, and I didn't see CUSA-tier athletes coming to this Sun Belt school. Both of us are right to varying degrees. I just think, for most kids, a full conference slate of AAC teams is cooler than an opportunity to win a ton and be rewarded with....a matchup with Rice.

Pretty sure I saw stats for TP that reflected what he could do with < 5 seconds remaining (shot clock/game/whatever).
