While I realize that it is difficult to win night after night, is it possible that the Texas game could be the last loss for the rest of the regular season? There is no opponent left on the schedule that will overwhelm us with talent. There will be pitfalls, but we could conceivably win the remainder of the games.

What?? :blink: You make it sound like the Sun Belt is a cake walk. What has given you that impression? Last years team was better than this years and we were the 5th seed in the conference tournament!

If we can win all if not most of our home games and at least half of our road games in Sun Belt play I will be happy. The team that wins consistently on the road in conference play will be the top seed in the tourney.

I think it's too early to say. I'd take last year's team at this point. By the end of the season, maybe not.

I think this team is better.. Wooden is better this year then last.. We are deeper than last year.. I miss C-Wat, but he could be streaky at times.. I think Sturns would turn the ball over enough to help this years team win..

We have a long long way to go. we squeaked by the last two games before Texas. We have alot to work on to be consistently solid. We lost to UT Arlington for Christ' sake.

But, I was probably more frustrated with last year's team at this point in their season than this years. I see alot of promise in this team, but we still have A LOT to prove. We aren't there yet... we are getting closer.

We have yet to replace Sturns, Watson and Davis consistent scoring. I agree this team is still a work in progress and hopefully we will get better but other than Josh White and maybe Dennis, who is a reliable scorer this year? Bell, Williams and Wooden need to step it up significantly to be better than Sturns, Watson and Davis from last year. Overall I think Bell, Williams and Wooden have been disappointing so far. It's the new guys that have provided most of the offense but that can't continue for us to have success, especially in conference play.

I think wooden has been terrific this year. especially in scoring. Your expectations of him are unreasonable if you are demanding he be friggin' superman.

Bell is a great utility player but is real weak and inconsistent with scoring. Williams has been outstanding in rebounds but not the scorer I would like more out of him.

Only Davis and Watson had a better scoring avg per game last year and the most was Watson with only 3 points more per game than Sturns. Remember I am talking about scoring. If we are talking about turnovers, that is a different story. He was by far the team leader in that category.

he did score alot, and he was a great spark off the bench, I can't deny that.. but his sloppy play and poor shot selection could be the blame for a couple of losses last season, including the Memphis game..

I don't know how anyone can dog on Wooden so far. As great as Josh, Collin, Tristan, and any of our other perimter guys are - Keith is our engine as far as I'm concerned. We'll only go far if he's humming. Look how much better we were in the 2nd half tonight.

I am not saying we go undefeated the rest of the year....I am saying that we now match up physically with all our remaining opponents. No semi-pro teams left on the schedule. We are now in a position to match up with anyone.

As Wooden goes, the team goes. His early foul trouble forced him to the bench and that really hurt. Keith's going to be tough to replace next year. :(

Yes, and it is frustrating because the refs have such a big part of that. Especially with ticky tack fouls!

That is some Green Kool-aid.... Never underestimate Western Kentucky plus UA-LR is having a good year. It is "possible" but very improbable...

      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.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      I mean are you saying you want to know exactly what every player is paid? My worry is you would have each of them know that number is so they can be jealous and fight about it. I think the coaches have to determine the amounts and allocations unless you are an SMU or someone who can afford to pay every player on the roster 100k a piece. If you don’t have mountains of cash you have to allocate per the coaches wish I would think. Agents come into play sadly as well I suppose.
