Just In Case You Enjoy Great DII College Basketball

#1 ranked Tarleton State is hosting the South Central Regional tomorrow in Stephenville. It seems like this is the 10-15th straight year TSU has had a top 10 team?

Nope...don't care

You know there's a joke in there about how we are already used to watching DII basketball after the last three seasons...

Prior to UNT I attended Tarleton. Tarleton is a D1 drop out school. Every year their roster is made up of kids who used to be at Div. 1 programs

Agree, but their coach, Lonn Reisman is better at developing and coaching that D1 talent than the majority of the other guys are at developing their D1 talent. Amazing that he's been at Tarleton for 27 years.

Yep. 27 years without an opportunity to move up. Then again, maybe he doesn't want to, but either way, that tells me all I need to know. Now, if he were at SFA...

He's had plenty of offers. He loves Stephenville and the campus community there. .His son is his assistant coach, plus he's the Athletic Director as well. He's been able to stay and raise a family in one place all this time. A rare opportunity for such a profession.

Of course, like you said, you already knew all of that, so....

Its a good thing we didn't bring TSU to Denton. They might have run us out of the Super Pit?

You're right. It tells me he doesn't want to leave.

Why again is Tarleton State in the North Texas basketball forum?

FirefightnRick · March 17, 2015

That kid for Tarleton, Mo Lee, was 6 for 6 from behind the arc in the first half.

Tarleton's defense ranks 3rd nationally.

The Regional final is tonight against Chris Jones' Angelo State Rams at 7 o'clock.

Each team split their two regular season games both winning on their home courts. This game may decide the NC?

GMG24 · March 17, 2015

Tarleton would beat us by 30-40 points.

Oooooo Oscar P!!!!!

Texans win 66-64. On to the elite 8 in Evansville .

Chris Jones at the line to give ASU the lead with 9 seconds left and he missed both. I think he finished with 12 points?

8 or 9 lead changes great game.

On to the Final Four for only the second time in school history.

The Tarleton State Texans are heading to the NCAA Division II Final Four with a 77-59 win over Mount Olive.

Who cares? Stephenville is 120 miles away from Denton. It's D2. They cater to a different student. Why are you so intrigued by what's going on at a random D2 school an hour+ away?

Why not Mary Hardin Baylor?

UNT90 · March 25, 2015

Because we may need a man's coach soon?

I'm in favor of moving this thread to a different forum, maybe Pie?

Tip off now on CBS Sports.

TSU blows a 10 point lead with 11 minutes to go and lets IUP go on a 21-4 run to blow it.

Great season though.
