Wow. I haven't watched our girls play in a couple of weeks but that was a bad, bad loss. That final minute of OT was awful basketball. This team has made tremendous improvement this year but it still has a long ways to go.

What happened to that overachieving team from earlier in the year. Fourth straight loss with very sloppy play.

We've already exceeded just about any pre-season expectations for this year. I'm just gonna guess the team has hit a wall.

We'll have another jump next season, but I think we may be running on empty now.

They aren't playing focused and listening to Aston's directions during games, as she explicitly mentioned during her post-game interview. I am thinking they just need to get over the fact that they lost against MTSU and the couple of tough road losses in FL and start playing with discipline as they were at one point. This is not about physical exhaustion, they are all good enough athletes.

The "wall" is often as much mental as physical.

There comes the focus I talk about. They had tough losses, they just need to move on and be more focused and implement what the coaches tell them to do during games. They are a better team than what they're currently showing and could perform well in the tourney if they start focusing, the season is not over yet.

I think it's more of an overachieving team starting to come back to earth a bit. Once things start to go south, their past (ie losing), and their belief (or lack thereof) comes into play. Throw into the mix when you play for a firebrand of a coach, losing can sorta feed into itself (playing for a yeller isn't easy when you're winning...when you're losing players often tune them out altogether) the team can just sorta fold up for awhile.

It's gonna take more than a season to change the losing culture than Stephens had. Probably more than two.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      These conference wishlists are fun to discuss but in no world should UNT share a conference with Tarleton State and SHSU in 2025 lol I’d love being in the PAC as long as some other AAC members follow as a package. That conference wouldn’t be as friendly regionally but there would definitely be more opportunities for national recognition in the PAC especially in basketball.

      TXST in the same conference would be fun, but there are a lot of great moves to make... many of the current teams in our conference need to be kicked out first to avoid cheapening the media payout.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      Before the PAC2 raided the MWC, I had been a supporter of joining a rebuilt PAC, as long as it was a true "Western Conference" of D1, and we shared a nice little 6-8 division with the likes of Memphis, UTSA, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, Tulane, and a Rice or Tulsa. But it did not appear the PAC was going to bring enough programs close to DFW to make the added travel and exit fees worth it. Still don't know how the MWC held onto UNLV and Nevada, otherwise it'd be an even crappier conference than CUSA. But unlike the PAC7, it will still be recognized as an FBS conference next July. Doesn't seem like Memphis, Tulane, and USF will be going there, especially with an unknown TV deal. Ultimately I think with realignment, one of the G6 leagues will dissolve. The American struggles by being a league with several new teams, no notable rivalries, and no regional tie like the PAC, SBC, MWC, and MAC claim. And there are plenty of moves we could make to improve across many sports, but the league is so saturated. If it were up to me, I'd get Rice, Tulsa, Charlotte, Temple out of the conference. Force FAU and UTSA to find a solution to their high school gyms. Add Texas State, James Madison, Liberty, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Louisiana. That would create a 16-team conference with a 8-team West Division UNT would share and play annually against with UTSA, TXST, Tulane, Louisiana, Memphis, Western Kentucky, and UAB. Instead of playing frickin' Temple three times in three years. That would leave us at 15 teams for basketball, I'd add up to three non-football members between Dayton, St. Louis, VCU, Richmond.
