It counts in the record books for us, but not for Angelo State.  We do one of these every year it seems.  It's technically not an exhibition for us, but is for them.

Have we confirmed how much the bribe payment will be for ASU to throw the game? Can it paid through NIL donations?

This isn't an exhibition game.  It counts.

So, I heard a rumor this is an exhibition game.  
 

True or nah?

[CMJ]

Well, it's not an exhibition.

Not sure what the point is of having an exhibition scheduled 6 games into the regular season?  Maybe they were all that we could find?  Do we gain anything from this except to maybe get the backups some court time (which I'm all for)?  The Towson game was basically an exhibition.

Vegas didn't think the Towson game was an exhibition. We were only 4 point favs.

I think it's an "exhibition".

It is an exhibition for Angelo St and a regulation game for NT.

This has been going on for years, although it been a long time since NT participated in this type game.

It was created to help D1 schools fill their early schedules with easy games.  Because it seems few want to play difficult away games without a big check.

The lower classification school gets a payday and it does not count on their record.   A highly motivated lower class team versus an overconfident buy a win team has resulting in embarrassing upsets.

This is an exhibition trap game if I've ever seen one.

Angelo State (3-1) beat Arlington Baptist today 111-68.  They made 16/28 3-pt shots and had 6 players in double figures.

This was a 5pm game Saturday in San Angelo, to be followed by our 2pm game Sunday in Denton.

Wow, that is very close in scheduling. Is that normal at that level?

I heard this is an "exhibit" game.  No?

[Matt from A700]

Unfortunately I had to be a late scratch from attending this game because of my son being sick, but I am watching from home. Faster pace than an LA Fitness pick-up game right now.
