I'll be at The Pit tomorrow, but between my friend group we've got 8 tickets unable to be used. All lower level near the UNT bench - two solos, a pair, and a group of 4. If anyone needs tickets, let me know!

Per my ticket rep a ticket for the men's game will also get you into the women's game at 5:30 if you can make it.

I wonder if a solid showing Thursday night would give a little boost to Saturday's FB game at DATCU.

I would hope we have a solid showing against Wayland without playing any starters.  These non-Dl games are good to work on team chemistry I guess.  It has to be hard for players to keep their intensity up once the game is 20+ points.

This is the difference between good and great teams. You can lose focus a bit against D2 and lower schools but many D1 schools will claw back in and beat you if you fall asleep with a 20 point lead.

Side note, Vermont beat UAB to start the season. Auburn just beat Vermont 94-43 yesterday. That's how bad we need to beat teams like Evansville and Wayland Baptist.

Evansville is a completely different level than Wayland Baptist, but I get your point.

I think we are currently a completely different level than both. The scores should reflect that.

Not arguing, just expressing my opinion.

The nerd in me is glad we scored 80 Tuesday night. I would love to see a hundred tonight.

84 is currently the most we've scored in the Boss Hodge era.

There is a fine line with some coaches of being in control vs running up the score.  I don't see Ross having us over 100 in a game anytime soon.   We also need to empty the bench and get the other guys some floor time.   Mavs did this last night for the final 5-7 minutes of the game.  It was fun to see the newer guys show off a little.

Is this game starting ?

Says there’s a delay.  I hope someone at the Pit gives us an update soon bc I’m tired of looking at the ESPN building.

Women's game didn't end until about 7:30, then usually 20-30 minutes between games.

It’s like these people never attended a game before…. This was the norm for decades….

      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.
