Mean Green Matt

Does anyone really think the big schools are going to abide by that?

Same with charlotte into Diddle.

We have a deeper problem as a league than bonus play. The quality of teams right now makes it a one bid league. Not the fact we do pod play.

I think we need to root for WKU Thursday against La Tech.

Yes and no. I like that it is the closest thing to a balanced schedule you can get. First 14 games you play everyone in the conference once plus your travel partner twice. So pretty even across the board. Then final four games you play the teams you are directly competing in the final standings with. That is a pretty fair set up. It also creates exciting, relatively evenly matched basketball top to bottom for the conference at the end of February and early March. The negative is that it does not really do what it was put in place to do. Bonus play is probably more likely to eliminate a potential second NCAA bid for the conference than to produce one. EDIT: For what it's worth, winning the conference tournament was going to be the only way into the NCAA for any CUSA team this year whether or not pod play existed.

Gonzaga is about to lose. So #1, #2, and #4 lose.

So who would hold the tiebreak between us and La Tech now.

This stinks but we do still control our own destiny as much as we did when the day started. So it could be worse. We just need to win important games under pressure. Something NT seems to have a problem with in general.

Fouling didn’t even cross my mind. Were we on 5 fouls at the time or would it have been a 1 and 1?

If it makes you feel better, the crowd wasn’t THAT big. Even by our standards.

Well, here we go.

I feel like the there was a similar feeling to this a couple of weeks ago and reese hit a big 3. Right around this time. Can’t remember if it was against Charlotte or ODU.

How many?

La Tech already has 2 more points than the entire game in Ruston.

Not even remotely close.

There’s 43,000 people here.

By what standard?

If it makes you feel any better your internet speed is probably better than what Ruston, Louisiana has. 😉

Didn’t close the half well.

Literally or figuratively Kyrgyzstan?

He’s in the game right now.

Mean Green Matt is not worried about the crowd. Mean Green Matt is not worried about the crowd. Mean Green Matt is not worried about the crowd. Mean Green Matt is not worried about the crowd.

On the one hand this will allow the P5 to essentially cherry pick the best G5 players every year. But does it also let the G5 cherry pick players not getting playing time at the P5. Does it all even out or is that too optimistic a view. Whatever it is, the NCAA isn’t doing it for good intentions. Because they never do anything with good intentions.

We had one at one point, but for the sake of simplicity we should roll all of these things into a “Mean Green on PGA Tour” thread. Do you have any predictions for his next two rounds, @UNTLifer????

First sentence: very true. Second sentence: face palm.
