Remind me again why we care about Houston?  Never been in the same conference, we play each other like once every hundred years, and you are hours away from Denton geographically.  Y'all have a great team, but I don't see UNC fans coming on our board to talk about how great they are.  If they did though, I would give them crap about losing to NC State.

We were both together in the Lone Star Conference and the Gulf Coast Conference.

So, we lost by 3 points and 4 points to a #8 seed, and by 5 points to a #12 seed.  I think we are competing on a good level and can beat any of these teams on any given day.

Conference tournaments have already started. Thought this halftime score from the WCC deserved a mention.

Best we can hope for is CBI at this point and after winning the NIT I am not sure I would even take it.  Ross should focus on recruiting and next year.

We pulled the starters out in the 2nd half since we still have the #1 seed and already won the Big 12 in the regular season.

 

LOL.  You need to say you never played your starters at all, in a game like that!

Not sure why you included the 1980 program - Houston was in the Southwest Conference by then.  If you have to go back 65 years to the last time we shared a league with the Cougars, it's safe to assume most of us weren't following sports back then.

This is the general March Madness thread. 

 

If I had made a separate thread about this then you would have a point.

Remind me again what tournament UNT will be in, you're talking smack when you guys would get ran off the court against us.

1.  My bull shit alarm just went off. 
 

2.  Nice deflection. When you’ve got nothing in reply, deflect. You would make a typical politician.

Kinda weird to see UAB/FAU so close to each other in the bracket.  Only 2 AAC teams and they had to put them in the same region?

UCONN will knock them both out on the way to a national title.

It is bizarre.  I swear the tournament used to have a rule that unless there were a ridiculous amount of teams from one conference (say the Big 10 gets in nine), that they did everything possible to have schools within the same league avoid each other until the Regional Final/Elite 8.

I would say it's a little bit of "who cares" for our conference.

Wow, KU gets bent over by Cincinnati to the tune of 72-52.  Where's ol' @rojomojo when you need him?

That team is genuinely awful this year. Probably the worst KU team since the late 80's. 

Similar trends to the UNT woes... Poor and lazy recruiting, injury prone depth charts, being carried by remnants of players from past squads...

We wanna use this for the NCAA and NIT too?

 

 

USF looking good early.  Let's get a AAC thing going like the CUSA did last season.

      Another NIL Coaching Casualty

      Please move if needed, posting here as it's related to NIL and is probably more applicable to football than basketball. Miami basketball head coach is resigning. The following are quotes that should be of concern to any fan but especially some of your blue blood programs. What happens when you can no longer outspend your peers so your legendary coaches leave? Saban was the most name worthy retirement but there's been plenty others and here's another big name leaving. NIL will be reeled in when the big money boosters lose their favorite coaches, no longer see the wins on their records, and see they can no longer just money-whip their way to success. From the Miami Herald: “At this point, after 53 years, I just didn’t feel that I could successfully navigate this whole new world that I was dealing with because my conversations were ridiculous with an agent saying to me, `Well, you can get involved [with a prospective player] if you’re willing to go to $1.1 million, and that would be the norm.” ... “What shocked me beyond belief was after we made the Final Four just 18 months ago, the very first time I met with the players, eight of them decided they were going to put their names in the portal and leave. “I said, `Don’t you like it here?’ They’d say, `I love Miami, it’s great.’ But the opportunity to make money someplace else created a situation that you have to begin to ask yourself, as a coach, what is this all about?’’ He added that he tried “every which way” to make things work, but “last year was a disaster”, and this year was not going well, either. He felt the new players were not buying in as transfers had in years prior." https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/college/acc/university-of-miami/article297597538.html

      Bringing in Poffenberger, signing Jimerson and Mestemaker returning, Cash probably realized he wasn’t going to get any playing time here soon. Best of luck to him.
