The fact that they only had one bucket over ten minutes of play is baffling. I wish there was a way to draw a crowd in by challenging any student to try and score a basket against these guys

And the one basket could have been a foul (the radio team thought there was a push to steal it from Perry). Crazy, man. This team is fun to watch!

Our promotions need help.

La Tech had 4,000 in attendance yesterday. They had 4100 for UAB.

During halftime yesterday they had a student shoot for cash but instead of one random shot he had to hit three shots. A free throw, a three pointer and a mid court shot and do it in 45 seconds or a minute.? He hit the FT and three pointer on his first two tries. Then spent the remainder of his time shooting half courts, which he never hit but got extremely close every time. But everyone in the place was on their feet cheering cause he kept getting multiple opportunities, not just ONE shot.

Also, at La Tech and pretty much everywhere else outside of Denton, when they hit a big shot that brings people to their feet forcing us to call a timeout, they crank the music for the ENTIRE time out and the crowd loves it. Not hush everyone for some stupid announcement about a discount at Beth Maries….or put people to sleep by asking a fan a trivia question. They raise the roof and keep their crowd involved.

It’s little things like that that keep people more engaged is what we could use more of.

And folks, hold on to your butts. This could be the year we lose McCasland. If Wren doesn't do everything possible to keep him, yet Seth is still here, I'm through with NT athletics.

It’s inevitable, right? That’s the G5 reality. Who’s the next man up, though? The challenge would be to hire within for some continuity, or look elsewhere. GMac is good stuff. Love having him on our side. GMFG!
