Best possible outcome. Improves chance at coach change

Lol.  I thought with your NIL mega=million$ you could buy players/wins in every sport?

Yeah, but you don’t do that until someone fails first! 
 

He is 30-34 in his two seasons, lol.  Obviously doesn't know how to spend NIL on the right players.

I'm glad SMU lost but now I hope someone knocks out Indiana State quick. With "Cream" Abdul-Jabaar and the feel-good Sycamores winning the hearts of America this year but missing out on the Tournament, AND with the NIT Final Four in ISU's backyard, I feel this is the perfect setup to try to make the tournament relevant again. After the controversial bid changes and a dozen teams denying invites, Indiana State vs. the defending champion is probably the best storyline and championship crowd the NIT could hope for.

So, do you want them to make the final or not? You seem to be arguing both.

Preferably not. Get them out before their position as media darlings grows and we're in an unfavorable position in Indianapolis.

I mean the best possible scenario for local interest would have been if Butler had made the Final.  Even beyond Indiana State, Bradley remains in the tourney too.  I'd actually like one of ISU or BU to make the semis at the very least to get a big crowd going.  Last year only Utah Valley State was anywhere what you could call close by to Las Vegas and it hurt attendance.

Up by 10 with six minutes left and score like 8 points the rest of the way. Choke artist. 

Indiana state ties the game at around 8:40 remaining, and pulled away for the comfy win.

not sure what you got that from.

EDIT: maybe you’re speaking of a different game.

You have to have a coach willing and able to utilize the portal and NIL in order to actually use it.  This seems to not be the case.

Looking at things from a non-UNT lense, SMU and Memphis both need to be looking for new coaches. Too much size, athleticism, and talent to not have had better seasons. Not sure how many seniors y'all have but next year will be rough if the leadership doesn't change.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing.  They will try to money whip him.  Lanier was a weird hire always to me.

Unlikely. Their boosters won't take kindly to hiring a 1st year D1 coach with 14 losses. I'm not worried. And I'm pretty sure smug tried to do the same to Grant and he waited for a better gig. I anticipate, even if this unlikely scenario were to happen, Ross to do the same.

You know who SMU boosters will love?    Will Wade.   If Lanier is let go... that's probably the first guy they call.  2 peas in a pod.

      Wings on Helmet

      Has the football program abandoned the winged helmet over the “North Texas” script permanently? Reminds me of when they overdid the “NT” throwback logo

      Happy Thanksgiving!

      By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation. Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor-- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness. Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be-- That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks--for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation--for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war--for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed--for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted--for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us. and also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions-- to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually--to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed--to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord--To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us--and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best. Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789. Go: Washington Happy Thanksgiving, Mean Green Nation!
