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.

      I've been griping about this for decades at this point. It is amazingly dumb and does nothing for us. Did he have a better deal on the table? Unlikely.. Would it keep him here if he did well and a big program came calling. No. It doesn't do a dang thing for us. Yet again, and again,and again, and again we do it. It costs us every single time.

      The point stands that we aren’t buying out three years of Morris’ contract. He will got one more year, at least, to sell the leadership on why he should keep his job.

      Keebler has to go!

      It’s simply a coach’s decision imo. In 2009 I watched TCU’s Jaden Oberkrom line up and attempt a 60 yarder for Arlington Martin vs Trinity at Pennington….as a Freshman. Trinity jumped off sides so he kicked from 55 and just missed to the right by a foot. It would have been good from 65. I promise he was kicking in Junior High and if he wasn’t that’s all on the coaches.. Both years my son played for Weatherford Hall Middle School against Aledo, 7th and 8th grade, Aledo kicked all their extra points. It’s part of the game, and Aledo hires people that demand all of the game be taught and coached. Nothing about their special teams are missed, just like the rest of their game. But this didn’t surprise anyone because Aledo had just had a kid, Chance Nevarez on their varsity set the national record for the most extra points made in a row. Buchanon demanded it, so his Junior High coaches demanded it. So just like everything, if a coach decides it’s not in his interest then he’s not gonna demand it and coach it. Same for installing a short yardage play from under center. If the coach isn’t interested in it and instead thinks handing off 5 yards deep to make 6 inches is the best way, despite how many times he’s seen that not work….then his team will never develop one. Same for kickers in Junior high. Rick
