I think UNT has the inside track to take the top seed and yet not a lot of chatter.

There's been alot of chatter about us getting the 3 seed. We're still in essence 1.5 games back of both MTSU and ASU. Even tho the schedule is favorable for us, that's a tough hill to climb with so few games left.

I think if ULL can beat your guys tonight, the chatter regarding the West division title and possibly the #1 seed will come around. If ASU wins, we're pretty much looking at the 3 seed at best.

I think UNT wins out and finishes 13-5.

MT has three of four on the road and is probably looking at 12-6. ASU probably drops 2 of @ULL, WKU at home and Troy at home (not worried about UNO at home) for a 12-6 record.

We're still needing too much to go right for us to get too excited about the Division, much less the overall #1. Needing two teams to lose twice PLUS winning out is alot to hope for. As i said earlier, the schedule favors us, but that's still alot of "ifs" - you know?

Agree. I'm just hoping that our guys take care of what they can control by winning the remaining games on the schedule. We do that, and I feel confident that we'll be in position for a first round bye in the SBC tourney, which I view as a significant acheivement considering the way things were looking early in the season.

"Awful quite"???

That A-State education is working out for you, I see.

When I saw the thread title, I quickly had a list of 4 or 5 posters in mind that MUST have started this thread.... Sadly, ArkStFan, who is one of my favorite posters on the interweb, was not one of them. Let's just chalk this up to a bad typo at a bad time from an otherwise great poster... like a Peyton Manning Super Bowl pick.

Otherwise, agree w CMJ - if ULL can pull out a win, THEN I'll at least begin to think 1 is a real possibility. Until then, I focus on missing WKU as long as possible.

Most of the folks who post on our bball board only like to talk when we lose. You should have been here when we were struggling early if you like content.

I don't think we can count on winning all 3. I feel good about UALR after a 5 day rest and preparation. But, U La La is playing great. Hopefully, we have enough revenge in us and senior night motivation to win that one. But not real likely. THe Monroe game is proabbaly the best chance or a W. I say we go 2-1. Our lack of depth scares me these days.

I respectively disagree with you about u la la, they have won only 1 game on the road in the league all year and that was against a sub par Monroe team. So I like our chances of winning out.

THat makes me feel better. I hope you're right. Maybe Collin will break out and start hitting some 3's for us.

Looks like it's falling together like I thought.

I think we win out and the West , but I also think the Blue Raiders will pull a sweep in Florida and capture the NIT bid

If Troy wins out then it doesn't matter what MTSU does. They have the breaker over the Raiders.

I like the Troy scenario a lot better personally.

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

      There are probably 10 levels of donors and fans for a college athletic program. Anyone from a 70-year-alum always a supporter, to businessman only for advertising, to mom & dad only while son is going there, to corporate CEO wanting a name on a building, to t-shirt fans who just like the Flying Worm, etc. At P4 schools when the AD says they need cash, usually someone Big or a lot of smaller someones steps up. At our level I think it's more difficult to predict the donors and level of donations. I think it's also more difficult to find donors willing to give blindly to a non-specific NIL fund than to a specific building fund.

      Disappointed the game didn't allow us to see Mason, Cotton, and Vice.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

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

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.
