Middle Tennessee (1/21/16)

[CMJ]

On paper, this looks like a tough mountain to climb.

MTSU is a top 100 team from behind the arc.  We tend to do a poor job of defending the 3 so if Middle gets hot early in the game, it could get out of hand quickly.

14-13 MUTS early

KNTU carrying the womens game and the other station doesn't seem to have an online feed anymore, so I am out of luck.

95.3 sounds like it only has a 28k modem to dial in to. You're not missing much.

We have absolutely no depth. I thought our bench would be our strength, but clearly it's weak. Brice did not even play and it looks like Wars did not either. 5 guys are really going to struggle to win games.

Final

Screw Middle Tennessee!

[GrandGreen]

Horrible game, Combs even looked bad.  The second half was about as bad as it gets.  Combs is due a bad game, but this team can't even field 5 players of D1 level to put on the court.

Loss by 20 plus? Expected.

Game thread with 7 posts by end of game? Not.

Slowly drifting away...

Football, Men's basketball, and women's basketball outscored by a combined 80 points against MTSU this school year.

And yet...here you are...one of the few posts in the thread.  But, you have lost interest, right?

[Harry]

This was a really poor, poor effort.  Not going to lie, this one cuts pretty deep.

[southsideguy]

you can't fire benford who will take over for him, Evans won't do it will retire, chico is gone. I think when the season ends we make a change or Benford leaves for personal reasons......

[Ben Gooding]

Didn't even know we had a game tonight. Our entire athletic program is an utter joke. Really. Where's Rob Schneider?

Used to never miss a game. Watching the spurs 2nd string kick Phoenix ass, instead.

This I understand, but you are still just one man, CMJ. A good man, but still just one.

I admire you for hanging in there.

Benford is Dead Man Cosching right now. The players know it. It's just a matter of when RV pulls the plug. I've guessed late January/early February for quite a while. I do think Rob Evans will coach as an interim to finish the season when it goes down. And then we get to find out who the next RV hire for a revenue sport will be...

I wouldn't count out Benford being back next year.

After all, this is North Texas.

There's just no way, not in today's college basketball. Nobody coaches in their contract year anymore.

it would be so perfectly RV to somehow have Benford do that, though. He is dying to have a coach to extend, just to show the few thousand that still care that he made a hire worth an extension, plus he gets an extension himself if that occurs, IIRC.

I can stream KHYI on my phone using the Tune-in app but when I go the the Tune-In website it doesn't work.

That is the lowest of the low.  I can understand not listening to our game but watching the Spurs?

[GangGreen]

Ha! I know, but I am a South Texas boy through and through. Very happy that I was able spend so many awesome years with all you Northsiders.

The problem isn't getting rid of Benford.  It's allowing RV the opportunity to hire his replacement.
