quick assessment: - that is what conference basketball games will look like.  - stop with the ref bitching. that was a very well-called game - weirdest and hopefully worst game by Woolridge this season. I also for the life of me can't figure out what's up with his shot.  - thinking LT watched the Rice tape and saw Rose was finding his range and keyed on him. He's far from lock-down defender and Grant played match-ups. that we have that depth/versatility on the wing is impressive - Zac

Great analysis of the game.

Wasn’t giving us anything offensively, they were denying him the ball, and defensively he isn’t one of our best 5 against this La Tech team.

thank you for watching the game

So no two bid conference this year. 

At this point, it would have to be us, and i don't think we could lose more than 1 regular conference game, and then lose the championship game at most, and even then im not sure it would get us in as an at large

Yea and I’m hoping worst case scenario it’s us haha. Conference looks pretty open after a Rice win and an ODU lose. Still believe WKU, ODU, La Tech, or us come out on top.

- Zach's development into a (very) poor-man's Duncan his so incredibly impressive. 
- I really liked the Arikawe usage tonight. he can bring a lot defensively and Grant patterned him in well tonight. 

and lastly...

- the Draper 3 followed immediately by the most in and subsequently out 3-pointer I think I've ever seen was the difference.

I thought ODU was king of basketball in CUSA?

Historically?  There's a few different schools that have good basketball traditions in conference, but the king of the sport isn't in the league anymore.

 

Based on what is constituted now I'd think you'd have to say UTEP, WKU, and UAB would all be before ODU as far as historical success goes.

But if you follow the CUSA board Old Dominion basketball is king of the hill!  Just ask them!

if you're gonna be a snowflake ass-mutha-effa and try to -1 my basketball hot sports takes without actually replying to any of them...well...you should probably just go Michael Hutchence/Brian Wells/Thich Quang Duc yourself, because UNT basketball is back and I'm locked in.

Once they had the lead they stop playing free. They were too patient in looking for the absolute perfect shot. Happens a lot with big leads. If you take a quick, wide open 3 and miss with a big lead, the coach screams that we don’t need that shot. I see it every day while reffing

What do you think was up with Smart sitting for the end of the game?

He had some brutal turnovers as well.

      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+.
