Pretty sure the tournament seeding is also determined by the result of pod play. We have earned nothing yet. 

 

(I refuse to call it "bonus" play.)

You are correct NT has not earned the top seed in the CUSA tournament.

You are incorrect in that NT has not earned anything yet.

NT has earned the best position in the bonus play and no less than the the 5th seed in the tournament.

Man, there's a lot of people on this board with low basketball IQ. That was a HIGH level game between two really good teams. Every analytics program out there predicted this to be a tossup. We came in

Before all the over reactionary people get started we lost this game for one reason and one reason only. We shot 18% from three...they shot 50%

B.S.  That was a hell of a game between two obviously pretty even teams. Hamlet hits a game winner at their place and Bracey hits one against us.    And those saying we should stop shooting thr

If I'm looking at it correctly, I think we're assured at least top 4 seed which means we've earned a 1st round by no matter what. We have 2 losses. Even if we lost 4 games we'd end at 6 losses. Charlotte and FIU both have 6 losses but they can't both win all four of their games since they play each other. One of them will end with 7 losses so we are for sure top 4.

I would prefer the NCAA, but love the fact that we could go NIT as well.  My problem with the NIT is that nobody remembers who won it.  Then again, the CBI run was great for our fans, so who knows.  Let's first win the regular season, then win the conference tournament, but as @greenminer stated, let's win the one in front of us and the let the chips fall.

Why does team rankings still have LT with a much bigger chance to make the tournament than us??

We can take care if that nonsense on Saturday!

Lord have they not learned😂

There was a surprisingly high participation level for the football game against ACU.  In fact, the only concentrated area of green at that game was, amazingly, the Green Brigade.

Student wise yes. I would say the alumni side wasn’t as festive

Doesn't a win against Tech Saturday clinch a one or two seed in the conference tournament?

Pretty much, but even if we won Saturday we could still have 3 teams finish 13-5, and I’m not sure if there’s a scenario where we could be the odd man out.

Well we can’t be lower than the 4, and if we beat LT than we own the tiebreaker. I would think we lock up a 2-3 depending on the outcomes of the other games

I think we lock up 1 or 2 with a win tomorrow. What if we beat La Tech and lose the last 3. We finish 13-5. La Tech wins their last 3. They finish 13-5. WKU with the loss to La Tech and win against us sits at 12-4. They split their last two to finish 13-5. WKU would win that 3 way tiebreak with a 3-1 head to head, then we would top La Tech head to head. Or WKU finishes better than 13-5 we would have the head to head for 2/3 over La Tech

Win out and this is all moot.

It wouldn't surprise me if all teams in Pod 1 go 2-2 with every loss being on the road. Everyone is really good at home in this group.

Winning out should be the mindset, but the fact that we will have 8 days till our 1st game in the tournament worries me a lot. Mainly since we will probably play a UTSA or Marshall

      Another NIL Coaching Casualty

      80,000 fans aren't necessarily the ones footing the bill for NIL, though. The issue with this current model is nobody could go to the games and nobody could watch on TV but player salaries would still be funded by big money boosters. There's no correlation between a team's revenue, or the sport's revenue as a whole, and player salaries/NIL deals. The NFL doesn't work this way. When overall viewership goes up, media deals gain value which increases media distribution to the franchises and raises salary caps with it when new media deals are signed. NFL teams are required to spend 89% of the salary cap over a 4 year span or pay the difference to their players because that money comes from media deals. The teams make most of their money from ticket sales, merchandise sales, and such but those don't pay salaries like they might in the MLB or even NBA which allows for a luxury tax when exceeding the salary cap. For the NCAA to follow a similar model where wins and losses don't matter to "school" salary pools (insane to type), you'd need an NCAA-wide media deal that pays all schools the same and a salary cap that is the same across the board determined by that media deal. I doubt it'll ever happen. We'd be right back at boosters paying players under the table. It's going to have to start with boosters getting spending fatigue to spark change.

      Athletics site shows no more Bowl tickets available?

      https://www.firstresponderbowl.com/tickets/#Fan-Tickets We may have sold out of our allotment, but their website still shows ticket availability.

      Fun bowl games, not quite so fun playoff games. Maybe there's still something to be said for the bowl games after all.

      Another NIL Coaching Casualty

      It will take some time for the fans of these schools to adjust to losing a few games a year when they're in the new "P2" consisting of maybe 40 teams max. However, filling an average 80k stadium for maybe 20 games/wk is only about 1.5M people demanding tickets for each week's game. Out of over 300M people, I suspect they can still keep filling the stands, other than the few days of "dud" games or bad weather. Now, I'm not sure about TV ratings, but there's so many T-shirt fans of these top 40 schools that I think they'll still watch. I hope this greed and the extreme powering of the top few schools ends up biting them in the a$$, but I'm afraid they'll be successful. I don't mind them breaking away, I just wish they'd be forced to give up any relation to the school. Go create a stand-alone semi-pro league independent of the universities. I haven't followed pro sports in decades, but my quick check shows the Cowboys have been varying between 6-9 and 13-3 for the past 20 years with minimal playoff success but from what I hear, they have plenty of demand for tickets, even when they suck. I realize they are a somewhat special team, but then again, so are these P2 teams, so I think the comparison is reasonably legit.

      Lot of fun bowl games so far. Toledo vs Pitt last night was incredible. This was another great game as well.
