This would not be good. Maybe we drop this one. I would be scared to face UTSA in our first round.

I can't stand the mentality of "let's avoid this team, etc" especially a team with 5 conference wins. I guarantee you the coaches and players don't care. Just win the game and advance.

What is at stake with this game? Is our conference tournament seeding already set?

Winning might propel a hot UTSA team into the 7/10 first round matchup at Dickies. UTSA is 11th with the same conference record as Rice and only has to play at home vs. Temple in their last game.

I say just win though. I have no idea what the tiebreaker is for a multi-team stalemate. The five bottom teams (Wichita State, Rice, UTSA, Temple, and Tulane) could all finish 5-13 if Tulane beats Wichita at home, we beat Rice, and Temple wins in San Antonio but loses at home to UAB.

I would just like to avoid Wichita State out of bias for their history, and Tulane because I don't want to have to beat someone three times.

I've got a solo ticket left that became available in Section 111 right behind the UNT bench. Otherwise we've bought out the whole section. If anyone can use it, let me know.

Got this one claimed.

Feel your mentality, but styles make fights. Witchita State's big is playing his rear off right now. He would destroy Sissoko/Allen. What will be your answer to dealing with him? I would gamble that the coaches & players would prefer a team that their style gave fits vs come one come all.

If anyone else has a single ticket, I'm interested.  Otherwise, I'm just going to get a GA ticket when I get there (like I've always done).

I can understand trying to avoid FAU, or even Memphis but every team can present a match-up problem. We've been undersized all year, but we present our own match-up problems too (Edwards, CJ in the post). 

If RJ and Scott can stay out of foul trouble, we can make a run. Defense is our identity and those two are the heartbeat.

What is your definition of a run? 1-1?

My guess is at least the semis.  I think it's possible we could make a run, but since we're probably gonna be facing FAU in the quarters, I wouldn't expect it.

A run is winning 3 games, which means making the championship game. 
Won’t be easy, but we’re healthy now.

Not really.  UAB is a clear problem for us, regardless of Edwards/CJ.

Clearly watching the same team that I watch.  Does the delusion continue post Thursday/Friday loss or does acceptance set in?

You don't even have to watch the team to know this, though I hope people are lol

I was just echoing what Hodge said in the post-UAB interviews.  Paraphrasing, "Blazers are so, so strong and match up perfectly against our weaknesses."

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      On the telecast, they made if sound like that was part of his game and not so much his work in the paint. He wasn't terrible, but his footwork was not impressive to me. May be the rust from not being on the floor. The only two players that didn't see the floor were Cotton and Smith. I am assuming Cotton is hurt and Smith just isn't quite ready. It would be nice to see Lorient and Sissoko take him under their wing and help develop him. Regarding this team: Lorient (Jr.): Man, he has exceeded all expectations and just seems to be getting better and better. Hope we can keep him. Massie (Sr.) and Floyd (Sr.): Does either qualify for an extra year or is this it? Jossell (Sr): Love his game. I am assuming he is done after this year since this is his 5th season. Our most confident shooter at this time. Wright (Sr.): Considering this is his 5th year to play, I guess he is a one and done. Very different from what I expected. Pretty shot, but not athletic enough to create his own shot off the dribble. Stays within his abilities and quietly puts up numbers. Mason (Fr.): He needs minutes. This kid could be something really special. Cotton (R-Fr): Really want to see more of his game. Probably currently a level below Mason, but has the ability to be a double figure scorer. Stone (Sr): Happy to see him get the "and one" last night. That play really exemplifies his game. His hustle on the defensive end led to that play. Really wish he could have found his stroke the last few years, because I love his grit. He tries so hard and is Mean Green through and through.

      Imagine one man having the pull to make an entire website react to his every single move. Far from pathetic.

      Imagine being in a power conference and having a fan troll the website of a G5 that you don’t play and go to the website and troll all day…what an existence. Shoot me if I’m ever close to being that pathetic.

      Where are they now?

      Enjoyed reading this one because it doesn't seem to use the "fill in the blank" most use. Similar ideas but actually sounded as if it came from an unique individual. Hope he finds a good fit.
