Our side of the bracket does not look to bad. We could very possibly make it to the conference finals. We lucked out with our draw. We avoided the likes of ODU, UTSA, And UTEP who have had our number

no, but i don't understand the point of conferences doing tournaments when most of the time the best team doesn't usually win it

But, but, but we had a 5 game win streak, gosh darnit! That means EVERYTHING has changed!!

This happened to UCONN in 2011. Remember they limped into their conf tourney, played 4 games in 4 nights, won their conf, then won the whole thing!

Anything can happen in the NCAAs... If you have a Calhoun-type coach.

Im really only talking about mid major conferences and conferences that are likely to be a one bid league.

Then just do away with conference tournaments altogether and award the bid to the regular season champ. Break ties with a single game playoff.

/sarcasm

That will never happen, nor should it happen. If you are that worried about losing then you don't deserve the spot in the dance.

I'm fine with stacking the deck in the form of double byes for top seeds. That rewards the better teams for regular season excellence and still allows most teams a shot at the title.

The system is flawed for sure, but it does give everyone a realistic shot of even having a shot. That's more that can be said about football. We just need a better AD to hire way better head coaches.

No, we had really, really good mid major talent.

We had talent who just didn't care last night. Whatever message was being preached to them was also not worth believing. I don't really blame the players for not believing in his system.

Of note: UTEP hit 8 of 12 threes, including Omega Harris who was 5-of-5.

They had 5 players in double figures.

He may be their "X factor", so to speak. I've always felt like he was their missing piece, and if he's on then they're the best team in the conference IMO.

You're obviously more in tune with my Miners than I am.

Omega looks like he was a great get for them and, as only a frosh, will be a load for CUSA teams to deal with for a long time coming.

UAB 53

WKU 52

That was a thriller...Toppers were up four with a minute to go. Blazers hit a trey, force a 5 second call, then hit the game winner with 13 seconds left. WKU had a chance for the win, but missed.

So how bad is our BB team?

The worst in the conference tourney.

So non-competitive that I'm not sure how the conference did not revoke our conference membership immediately following the blowout loss to Rice.

I honestly had no idea there was a game until I saw Brett Vito's spring football practice article that said basketball season is officially over.

Thank god. I can take off this suit and get into the shorts and flip-flops as the good lord above intended.

Now, somebody refresh my memory. Has UNT won a single conference tourney game since the advent of the great Tony Benford?

10-seed North Texas 63, 15-seed Rice 62 in OT at the 2014 CUSA Tournament. Benford is now 1-3 in conference tournament games (although we did learn that if someone could manage to lose 4 tournament games in single elimination fashion in three years, it would be Benny)

And that was a short handed, gawdawful Rice team.

And we had to go to overtime to win.

And Rice fired their coach after that game...

      Surrendering ourselves to a G5 playoff would be disastrous. It would give the P4 all the ammo they need to effectively remove the automatic bid for the highest ranked G5 champ. The correct solution, in today's environment, is to maintain the automatic G5 bid for the main playoffs and have a mixed G5/P4 NIT style tournament as Pernetti suggested. Don't take, add. Wouldn't be a bad idea to allocate future "NIT" and playoff spots per conference based on their previous performances. They do this in Europe for their European tournaments. Each league gets a coefficient rating based on the previous 5 years performance in European competitions. Not performing? You lose spots. Performing? You gain spots. So you know, the ACC going 1-9 so far, the Big12 going 2-7 back in 2022, the SEC going 6-8 and ACC going 2-4 both in 2021 would have some affect on that rating and future potential spots in the playoffs and NIT. No reason the ACC should get 2 spots next year considering this year's playoffs. The rating would just ensure transparency.

      Because the ever present lie of “we could be next” keeps G5 athletic directors, coaches, and fan bases docile. Keep the system just shy of outright exclusion of G5 programs and you can slowly strip away access while claiming that wasn’t the plan all along. It’s why the Power Ball lottery is so popular. Even though the chances of winning are exponentially small for everyone (the G5 programs), everyone will point to that one lady in a far off trailer park (Boise) who hit it big!

      Women at Wichita State (12/29/24)

      Time to see how good or bad this conference is. The women (8-4) travel north to face Wichita State (6-7) in the AAC opener. We beat the Lady Shockers in Denton last year, 72-68. At 8-4, the women are tied with ECU for third best nonconference record in the league. Only UTSA (9-2) and UAB (9-3) are better. However, at 17-7, UNT has the best combined men's and women's basketball record of any program in the AAC. Game is at 1pm on ESPN+.
