Just curious as to how SMU got the opportunity to play OSU in the doubleheader at the AAC last night instead of our program. Was it just a money thing, where SMU just bought their way in or did the organizers of this doubleheader feel that SMU had more name recognition than we do? Either way, SMU played a good game last night (for them) against the Pokes, but nobody with even a pulse can say that the Ponies have a better hoops program than we do. I just don't get it...

From what I saw last night SMU had a pretty decent squad. They're pretty young just like us and they don't look as bad what I had expected. While I think we have an edge over them I think they played pretty darn well against OSU and should have won that game.

Of course that is the only SMU basketball I have seen all year and that will probably be it but I really thought they played a pretty good game.

We had a tournament set up at the AAC for earlier in the year, but apparently TTU dropped out after Knight left.

I remembered this and kept thinking at the UT Arlington game DAMN if we would have played in that tourney we might have had a chance! I think we could have beat UTA and TT at the AAC.

Word was we were in a game with TTU until they found out Tony would be available. Then they wanted to move the game back to Lubbock earlier in the year. It would have been their home game, so you can't really blame them too much for moving it up in the year and out of Dallas to play us without Tony. It's cheap, but a smart move.

SMU has some really nice young players. Jalen Jones looked pretty good, but I want to say that might be the best he's played all year. Their inside presence, Cunningham, had some really, really nice moves and made a big impact, I thought. They were coached well, and performed surprisingly well especially in the crucial points.

They just got Keeton Page'd. Something we should be all too familiar with.

I don't know if you guys realize what they were charging for tickets... I expect a lot of folks would have sat the games out, even if we'd been involved.

Lower section sideline tickets cost more than some of our full year season ticket options. 2nd level baseline cost $40-60 on Stubhub.

I was reading some of the comments on ESPN and someone remarked that they hoped that the fans got in for free and that the game was so bad that they would have walked out if their own son was playing in the game. That game was bad during regulation (which is when I read the comment) but was pretty good in the OT's.

Might have been an OSU fan. If I were them, I would have expected a lot more out of them.

Actually I think almost every OSU fan expected to lose. Some remarked that they knew nothing about SMU but expected to lose to them lol. They are really pretty bad this year.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
