Took every literal punch, one sided calls in the final minutes and a luncheon but pulled out the win!

Super Pit misses out on a national televised game on ESPN….a very intense game  All because they didn’t want to move folding chairs and sweep up grated cheese off the floor

I've got to ask, what's up with Lorient getting zero leeway? The guy can't follow his man with his hands up without it being a foul? I feel like it's been an all year thing.

Yeah, that was the worst of several bad calls in the latter part of the game.

Maybe an odd observation, but I thought Atin Wright probably won us the game in the final minute simply because they refused to foul him.  Anybody else goes to the line and only makes 1 of 2, or worse yet, misses both and the result may well have been different.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen quite that situation where a team refuses to foul an opposing player even though they need to stop the clock.    
 

Now, I don’t think that makes him HOF worthy, but I do think it made him somewhat of an unsung hero tonight.

It's just mind boggling how many times we get called for stuff like that. I also lost it when in the 1st half their player slid on the floor with the ball in his hands and it wasn't called a travel. I just have no explanation.

Good point and his start to the game wasn't too bad either.

Similarly, their crowd was screaming for a walk when our guy got mugged.  No call was made.

An ex coworker texted and asked why they refused to foul #10.  I said..”because he’s The Man At The Line, Nationally, at 94% and OSU knows it”.

Actually a great observation.

I'm only a casual follower of MBB, especially until late in the season.

But I was blown away when I heard the announcers saying we were top 25 FT shooting.

Am I mistaken or weren't we a horrible FT shooting team 10 yrs ago or so?

I mean... We were just a horrible team ten years ago

I think we had a pretty bad FT shooting team early in Mac's tenure, but I feel like we've been pretty solid for several years. People always remember games like tonight where we struggle, but we tend to knock them down.

1. Escaped the idiocracy of the AD and President of the university. Don’t be surprised when both of our coaches leave due to lack of support. 
2. Escaped ticky-tack refs in the final five minutes of the game. Just be consistent on both ends b/c it seemed as though the refs were making the foul count equal and keeping OSU in the game. 
3. Escaped our own selves at the free throw line. 50% as a team in the final 3 minutes. 
 

Advance and survive, good win!

For 5 full years…never bought him out, even though we all knew in Year 1 he was a terrible head coach.

 

Wren was hired well before Benford started his 5th season, but wouldn't fire him.   I had doubts about Wren after that.  It was a rookie AD mistake.  It killed off the majority of the season ticket holder base as most gave them up.

They had to buy out RV, plus they had just hired Littrell, so I kinda understood why they just left him there, but he was just a terrible coach. I remember making the point that keeping Bumford was only worth that last year because we got rid of RV. Then, Wren got GMac and the rest was history.

Plus Wren was hired in the middle of the summer and trying to hire a quality coach/staff at that point would have been extremely difficult.

      Flights Into Denton

      Private jet landed at KDTO from Starkville, MS at 5:13 PM. But is scheduled to take off at 7 AM so not related to an interview. It is possible that some people will drive in to Denton, TX for the interview if they live within 250 miles or so. Not a big deal and it tells people that you are cost aware. Private jets are an extremely expensive way to travel. Look it up some day.

      Softball Still Struggling

      Last year our pitching kept us in games, this year our offense is. The pitching performance overall is a regression this year, but I think the team is actually overperforming given the circumstances. We lost the best senior class in program history, the class who helped get us to our only NCAA Tournament appearance. And Bearclaw to me was our only notable offensive transfer. I didn't think Riley McNemar would contribute the way she has. If we can find a true ace next year, we will stand a better chance in the conference tournament. But this year we are competing with and beating more of the power conference teams. But we getting more hits, scoring more runs, and even knocking more balls out of the park this year already. We lose Cierra, Nicholson, and Bearpaw, but will still have R. McNemar, Tatum, Moffitt, and Conley. And so far freshman Ausha Moore is having a great year, .290 average with 3 homers.

      When do we get a decision?

      No need to wait on the end of the season for the announcement. Ross already announced he is gone and I bet we have 100% roster turnover (unless it is an internal candidate) so we need to get the new staff working the portal. Do it now. And about the portal: the first players to move will be the guys out of our price range. Most of our shopping will be in the bargain aisle. Finding guys who didn’t get the deal they wanted or need to prove themselves to get the next paycheck. Those guys will still be in the portal after the NIT is over.
