If we don't win this game, I am driving to Houston, picking up JJ, blindfolding him, heading back north and dropping him off in the middle of nowhere.

What game are you at?

edit: posted before my sarcasm meter went off. 

For McCasland era this is good other than the CIT run. We are in the JJ or Benford era. This is the typical to above average crowd. Especially prior to students returning.

I’m going to choose not to beat the dead horse of attendance tonight. Everyone knows. But whatever we are doing, it’s not working. Try something else. 

That would require a coach who brings in local talent and goes to local schools to meet with staff. Benford was really well known in the era and would be at almost every Guyer game he could. Argyle too. Granted none of that turned into winning basketball he was well respected by coaches and players all around the area.

McCasland seems to go all over, get lots of JUCOs and has found guys who can win games. That eventually should turn around attendance, but right now this has been where it’s been for him and the team. 
 

AD also doesn’t help the cause….

Thanks to the students and alumni that do make it to games (just not enough of them), but we should not schedule home games when school is not in session.  It’s hard enough getting students out of the dorms to a game.  Nearly impossible to have them come back to campus for a game. I’ve given up on the local (non-student) Denton population.

There aren’t 700 people here tonight because more of our roster isn’t from DFW.

This is not going well at all.  Abou is having a terrible game.

He was 4-12 last game, which is really bad considering the quality of shots he takes. Abou, Bell, McBride, and Jones are all going to need to step it up offensively. None of them have been shooting the ball particularly well lately and that can’t happen again today.

Not necessarily, however which player on the team is well known in the DFW area or Texas maybe in general. 
 

Im saying they should invest more in the local area. Shaka Smart showed up to Guyer, Benford would, even seen Roy Williams at Guyer. Spoke during the day to the players. Not only is NC a major program , but came to Denton when Guyer had 3 big name recruits. Even sense larger programs have come to talk during the day. How many kids you think here going to come goop at UNT? Lots of DFW talent there and the pipeline needs to be filled. Benford was an awful coach but I can tell you almost every coach in DFW respected the hell out of him. Even if he couldn’t take the best team we ever and win…

Well duh… but that won’t improve attendances in the short term. We have that and won’t a ncaa tournament game. Doesn’t help attendance.

      I'm actually quite interested in this ECU game tonight...enough to maybe watch the first half or so. UNC-W doesn't suck, but ECU should be a step above...if they could move to 8-1 heading into a game with what looks like a pretty mid South Carolina team (lowest NET in the SEC), they'd have a pretty light schedule heading into conference.

      I do believe McNeese is a home/home. I'd love a conference "challenge" with the new PAC. I think they will be our greatest competitor in revenue sports moving forward as we'll both by vying for that next spot in perceived conference prestige. W need to beat them in basketball and football to keep enhancing our conference brand.

      First College Net Rankings released

      Nobody is putting Utah State 25 spots in front of UConn, it's not a poll ranking. It's just computer metrics, really not that deep. That said, there's a great website that shows you how every poll voter voted. It includes graphs and even highlights extreme picks when they put a team 5 or more spots away from their poll ranking. Several journalists voted USU in the top 25 along with UConn and Dayton both unranked. Who knows what their actual gap would be if those journalists ranked to 40. Below is the website. Click on a team to see that team's week-by-week ranking via graph, then scroll down to see where each journalist ranked that team. You can click on that journalist's name to see how they voted. I have fun on the website and hope you enjoy it as well! https://collegepolltracker.com/basketball/2024/week-5

      First College Net Rankings released

      let's try to get this thing back on the rails... Evansville (269) Minnesota (155) McNeese (75) Oregon State (49) Northern Iowa (167) Utah State (14) High Point (190) MVSU (364...literally dead last) App State (199) Houston Christian (347) I know it really showed through this year, but the next step in this program is clearly upping the non-con scheduling...especially if half the AAC teams are gonna be dragging down our NET rankings. I know the SEC/ACC; Big 12/Big East challenges are TV/ESPN driven, but it'd be incredible if the AAC could have a similar set up with another solid basketball conference like the A-10, WCC, MVC, MWC...surely ESPNU would chip in a turkey sandwich for that, right? anyone know if that McNeese game is a home/home? if they can keep these levels, that'd be a great add on the regular.
