We are now 4-0 against nonpower intra-TX teams this year - UT Arlington, Tarleton, and Sam Houston State (2x). This is just as important as our 3-3 record vs. power conference schools. Don't let any other mid major pass us by. For comparison, soccer tied with A&M Commerce, ACU, and UTSA last year, lost to Rice, eeked out 2-0 wins against Texas Southern and Incarnate Word, and only had one dominating win against the state of Texas: PVAMU.

That could be a factor in our favor. I too don't understand why he would have him play that much in a rout. Our three bigs....played 29, 26 and 22, IIRC.

I really don't know. It's his third time playing 40+ minutes this season but the others were a 7 point win against USF and their OT loss against Arkansas State. This wasn't a particularly close game from what I saw. Side note, didn't realize Arkansas State beat both Memphis and UAB but lost to Rice. College basketball is pretty great.

If we can have a solid East Division of easy travel partners in Colorado State, UTSA, TXST, Memphis, and Tulane, then absolutely yes.
