It was a really gutty win. Flipped the script on them after halftime. After playing one of the worst halves we had under Ross as coach, we took over the game in the 2nd. Intensity ratcheted WAY up, we closed the rebounding gap, and got way more aggressive taking the ball to the basket, forcing the fouls. Impressive job by the guys from the FT line tonight. Fans in attendance got another thrilling win. Wright came up so clutch again.
This was my 80th men's basketball game since my freshman year in 2014. Best game I've seen in person, and I was in Ruston for the big comeback against LA Tech.
Overcome an 18-point lead against a bitter rival on national TV with a decent crowd. Imagine a full Pit.
And that will end right when the current media contract with the AAC expires. You know this.
National exposure... We are the least watched game when we are aired. I've seen a running average of less than 100K on several of our games. ESPN can't wait to rip this bloated contract out from underneath the AAC and delegate us to ESPN+.
And 5 years? We have been .500 or better in 19 of the 25 seasons this century in basketball. That is consistently putting together a competitive product year after year after year. That will never happen in football. Ever.
Given football money will soon be dried up, winning and geographic matchups for all of us peasants will soon mean everything.
