Quick observations...i'm sure I'll add more tomorrow morning but I need to go eat:

Josh is amazing...matched D.J. bucket for bucket and hes probably the best PG in the country.

Keith put up 17 in the second half...we desperatly needed him in the first half...I thought he'd be able to score on Atchley so those two fouls early were a big reason for the size of the defecit

Turnovers...just awful...cbssportsline has it at 19 but I think it had to be closer to 25.

If cbs has it right...Collin played 12 minutes...unexceptable.

Biggest concern are these slow starts...back to back games that we've gone to the half down double figures. If Ben starting limits Collin to 12 minutes...Cooley I'll enjoy my crow and say Collin needs to be starting.

I'm proud of this team. No glory in losing, but we showed that we belonged on the court with a Top 5 nationally ranked team in the 2nd half. And we cut in down to 9 after a 24 point deficit.... we are in for GOOD season in the SBC and the NCAA tourny (yes, I said it)........

The only problem is that White didn't handle the full court pressure very well.... Bell took over the point during the full court press and had no problem... Josh will learn from this game... Josh kept stopping every time he got pressure, and Bell just plowed through the half court line... UT stopped the full court press once Bell took over... I haven't been big Bell fan this season only b/c of his questionable shooting so far, but he save our arse on the full court press tonight...

They beat UCLA in Pauley Pavillion dude. Seriously...I hate the Horns too, but seriously. You don't just walk into the House Wooden built and waltz out with a victory unless you're better than "good".

I agree with that...esp. when UCLA was #1 in the country when Texas took them out.

Augustin is flat out the best point guard in the country. When we got the game back to 9 points, he took over. I'm just disappointed we took ourselves out of the game so early on. A few bad calls and a little Texas full court shook us early and we melted down. Still, like I said before, there is much to learn from this game. We will get better...

Do you think Xavier is better than "good"? They beat Indiana (#15). Xavier who has a loss to Miami(OH). Look, I'm not saying UT doesn't look impressive but let's hold off on calling them great.

They are who I thought they were! You wanna crown 'em! Crown 'em!

P.S. UT beat #7 Tennessee by 19 and scored 97 against them. We lost by less and gave up less points. :D

Also, while I might have been slightly facetious about taking Josh White over Augustin I would take Rose from Memphis over Augustin.

Can you ever move up in the rankings even with a loss? I don' tknow that we would, but I don't even know if you can.

Our RPI improved tonight. It's somewhat inexact right now(and is even at the end of season truth be told), but we're #13(up two spots from earlier in the day) in the country right now according to it.

The basic RPI formula is 25% your winning percentage + 50% opponents' average winning percentage + 25% opponents' opponents' winning percentage.

I'm not sure the algorithm they use to come up with power rankings.

UT has a great starting 5...I just have a hard time believing that their lack of depth won't kill them in late Jan and Feb.

I saw on their fan board Someone was asking why we cut it to 9, were they (ut) tired or did they (UT) just get complacent? Then someone else said that that they only rotated 8 guys against unt... CBL I might have to agree with you.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      Third home game in a row under 3K in attendance and 4th for the season. Now at 2,947, average attendance is down almost 13% (439 per game) compared to the first 7 home games last year. We are now down 1,185 in average attendance compared to last season's full year average. The home conference slate kicks off with UAB on New Year's Eve. Hopefully, we will be able to chip away at this attendance deficit as some familiar foes visit the Super Pit, but it looks like hitting a 4K average and growing average attendance for the 3rd year in a row is becoming increasingly out of reach. Just win and they will come they said. SMH. On the bright side, we're currently sitting at 9-3 and 7-0 at home and own the 2nd best Net rating in the conference only behind Memphis. Unfortunately, the conference is incredibly weak this year so we don't have many opportunities to improve that ranking. Aside from winning on the road at Memphis, holding serve in terms of a Net rating may be the best we can do from here. Actually, looking at the schedule, we do have three Q2 road games (Wichita St, FAU and Temple). They need to keep winning and we will need to win those three to improve our resume.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Tell me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf without telling me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf. Here is SMU’s attendance claim for this season; one so amazing that they made a nifty graphic for it. The only issue? Well, they played 7 home games and the stadium seats 32k…so an average attendance of 32,651 which is standing room only and beyond capacity is a bit difficult to swallow and leads one to believe that only believers in SMU math would buy it. And save me the “but look at North Texas’ attendance” garbage. Even someone as committed to being separated from reality as you knows that if North Texas 1) bought their way into the ACC to allow us to fill our stadium with opposing fans, 2) overpaid for players, and 3) had the easiest conference schedule possible to stack wins…Apogee would have been LEGITIMATELY sold out. And let me save you the trouble of the next silly argument you were just itching to type as a retort…yes, we have far more alumni, but we are not situated DEAD CENTER in a city of 1.3 Million people like SMU has been for decades

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Come to think of it, ESPN and the other networks who really benefit from all of this, should contribute $$ to a NIL fund and distribute equally to each schools NIL for them to use at their discretion. Wouldn't that be fair?

      Say you didn't see any SMU crowds this season, without saying you didn't see any SMU home crowds this season. That place was packed and rocking, like nobody could've dreamed.
