And down goes Memphis. Glad WSU got the upset.

I was torn because now we probably have to win the tournament to get a post season bid.  Memphis isn't going to the NCAA's and will probably pick up a NIT bid, and based on record, this bumps us down the selection list.

I have this wild, baseless belief and hope that the winner of UNT-FAU will win the whole dang enchilada.

You could apply this worry to a handful of teams, couldn't you?

Yep and we only have ourselves to blame.

Not counting our game, the quarters are....

 

ECU vs. USF

Wichita State vs UAB

Temple vs Charlotte

Get past FAU and this is ours for the taking. I know we've struggled against UAB and Charlotte as well but I think it's all mental.

I feel the same way, although I really don't want to look past anyone... this feels like Who Wants to be a Millionaire? and getting a harder question for $64,000 than the million.

I'm certainly not looking past anyone. Three out of four games yesterday resulted in an upset so it would be foolish for any of us to dismiss potential opponents. That said, it's called March Madness for a reason. We can compete with any team left. I was nervous about SMU and Memphis due to their athleticism and length but they lost. UAB worries me for the same reason but their team is pretty bipolar, just like SMU and Memphis, so I feel good if we have to play them.

Are Byes overrated in these tournaments?  Is it better to play your first game against another team that is also playing its first game (and all the first-game jitters that may go with it on both sides) as opposed to playing your first game against another team that has a win (or two) under its belt, has some momentum going and has those first-game jitters out of the way?

I think the first round byes might be a bit detrimental in the first game, but work to your benefit later on.  For example, Charlotte could have rust at the beginning of today's game, while Temple will be loose since they've played already.  But if Charlotte gets through today, having that first bye helps.  By the same token not having it helps you in the 2nd game, at least for the first half or so.  But the longer the tournament goes on, the more it works against you.  I've seen some Cinderella conference tournament runs go where a team manages to make the Final and then have little left in the tank.

USF defeats ECU 81-59 and it wasn't that close.  Bulls led by over 25 for a large part of the second half....the Pirates ended the game on a run to make it look "better."

All season I thought WSU had too much talent to be at the bottom of the standings.  Win or lose today, it looks like they're finally figuring it out.

      Cotton, Vice And Mason

      I would also like to see Vice and Mason get more minutes. They looked good in the limited action I saw them. Senior privilege minutes for Sissoko and Stone are at the expense of better players.

      The Band

      I know this isn't the most important topic, but I was curious as to what others thought. I live across the country so I can't attend games unfortunately, but from watching it on TV is it just me or has the band declined in quality in the last few years? When the camera shows them they look undisciplined/inattentive, some are just wandering around chatting. I see other bands together and ready to play as soon as a play is over. The size seems to have ballooned and now sprawls across 2 sections of the stands, and despite that they sound worse. The director also doesn't seem to know that the purpose of the band is to hype up the team/crowd, and put pressure on the opposing team on 3rd downs. Play something intimidating on 3rd down! When they do play it seems like they just have a bank of songs they go through in order without considering the situation on the field. The selection of music is bad, and it doesn't seem like they have any variety of songs to connect with the crowd, many bands will play classic and modern hits to get the crowd into things. Like I said I don't know if this is true or not since I can only judge on what I see on broadcasts, what's the in-game experience like?

      What is this program missing?

      I think if you did the G5 national championship thing....and the players only got the schollie and a stipend.......I think it would draw fans like crazy. I think there are loads of folks who want amateur athletics to stay amateur. With what we draw and get in donations.....there is no way we should be paying a football coach over $1m. No way. So yeah amateur athletics, tighten the budget. These coaching staffs are huge now. Do folks not know that we now have a bigger recruiting staff.....than Hayden Fry had for an entire staff. He had six assistants. And it was better, more imaginative football. But this will likely never happen. As all these schools think they're just a break away from the "big time."

      How 'Bout Some Blame For The BOR?

      This. Unless/until the BOR and Administration decide to "...make winning at revenue sports a priority", we will only have the occasional good season more or less by accident.

      WBB at Houston (11/24/24)

      We all know you hate baseball. If you make a dollar selling a ticket, it's revenue, and a revenue sport. Profit is different. Few college sports make a profit for an Athletic Department at the G5 level. Baseball (as opposed to golf, swimming, track, etc) would lure fans to campus in the spring, spur donations, as well as tickets and merchandise. It's not always about making money (profit)...it's keeping relationships with fans and alums year-round. Non-revenue sports aren't doing it.
