I have read the explanation of how the NET is calculated but, I still don't understand it.

NET rank as of today, Wednesday, January 19, 2022:

North Texas #55 (9-4, #2 C-USA)

Miami FL #82 (13-4, #8 ACC)

I watched the OU game last night and Umoja Gibson looked pretty damn good. Did he transfer there just because it’s OU or did he not like it here?

I heard it was because he wanted to be on-ball more, but was beat out of that role by Javion, who had a way better handle.   
And, obviously, he's a really good player (that coach Kruger saw first hand when Mo dropped 21 points on him when we played OU in 2019), so he's going to have opportunities when he decides to transfer. 

For some reason, he thought being off-ball behind Reaves and Harkless was better for him than being off-ball only when Javion was on the floor here.   Sucks for us.  He'd likely have the role he wanted this year (over Tylor) if he'd have stayed here.

One thing floating around, @MeanGreenTexan touched on this, was the on-ball handling.  I'll add the post above: what I heard was he wanted more on-ball because that was how he saw himself getting to the NBA.

I haven't seen him play this year, but his dribbling scared me to death when he was in Denton.  I didn't like what I saw when he was bringing it up the court.  Maybe it has improved.

Anyways, loved having him here in the role he was put in.  A great player.

I would prefer Perry over Gibson anytime.  

Gibson was about unstoppable when he was own, but a liability when he wasn't.

Irony is that Gibson may have left to join an inferior team.

He was an underclassman who was more than capable of improving.   I sure wish we still had him.

I also prefer Perry to Gibson. Like you said, when Gibson was on, he was really good. Perry is very smart with the ball and his shot selection while I remember constantly being extremely frustrated with Gibson trying to do everything himself and bricking up 3's shooting 2-15, for example, some games trying to shoot out of a rut and killing any momentum we may have.

BUT, if we still had Gibson would we have Perry?

I think things worked out well for both parties in the end.

      Transfer portal is killing P4 as well as G5

      You know, the playoff system to create a champion is better, but I still loved the way CFB was when conferences were regional, they had their champion tied into a specific bowl game, there weren't so many spare bowls featuring matchups that nobody cares about between 6-6 teams, and each season, the end of the year was talking about who had the better resume if this team loses or wins in their bowl game. I grew up loving the SWC and the Big Eight. Each year, the goal was to make it to Dallas or Miami and see where the chips fell. You were neighbors and friends with grads of those schools. I'm sure it was the same in the old version of the SEC and the ACC. It was just a fun time--and if things went great, the Cotton Bowl, the Orange Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, or the Rose Bowl would be for a national title. But if not, you watched them all because the games mattered in the big scheme of it all and they were on all day and night on New Years Day, along with the Fiesta Bowl, and then, later, the Citrus Bowl for the ACC Champ. Its a bygone era, no doubt, but the games had great coaches all over the country and players we got to know over the years. Yes, there was plenty of cheating, and yes, the big boys controlled the game, but it was more fun. Whatever it is we have today, I feel sorry for people who think CFB today is more enjoyable to follow and support. They probably think we are olds that have Good Ol Day Syndrome and that is fine. I can't really refute any of that. But it was a sport I and many of my age (50s now) loved and followed intensely. Today, we are dropping out very quickly, as we see the farce the portal and NIL are making of this great sport. Very sad...

      It's going to be interesting to see how the taxpayers see this (for state schools, N/A for private). Similar to the concerns regarding spending local tax $'s to build NFL stadiums, using tax dollars to run a minor league FB team may stir some controversy. I may be wrong since I don't keep up with all of the latest media payouts, etc, but I think there's not a lot of schools that actually make money on athletics (and this is BEFORE we start paying them directly). https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/research/Finances/2023RES_DI-RevExpReport_FINAL.pdf If UT essentially starts running a minor league FB team out of the school and makes money, should the tax payers expect a refund or cut in taxes directed to UT? What if they're losing money?

      Good win over Rice

      priority is The American. Don't care if the victor is a system sibling, this loss by Rice only hurts our conference.
