For those who think CUSA isn't a big step up in basketball, just take a look at one of our west division mate's recruiting class.

#28 recruiting class that we turn into a #300 team?

Classic UNT athletics ! Here in KY there are NO EXCUSES in basketball. Benford would already be on the hot seat at any college in this state. I am sick of the damn excuses. WKU is already competing at the near top levels in D1 with a 1st full year HC and Murray State can play with ANYBODY not to mention UL and of course the Cats are both THE best. UNT can't even compete at the top levels of D2. Why do you guys tolerate this crap? LOSING the 1st round of the NCAA tourny is considered failure here. UNT considers this some remarkable damn achievement. Just find a way to WIN WIN WIN !

Wait just a minute there mister!!

We're young.

It takes at least three years to turn stuff around.

The cupboard was bare.

Benford hasn't got his own players in place yet.

Benford knows more about basketball than you (though this is also true of EVERY coach that's ever been fired)

We haven't played together enough yet.

Take our pick of any of these excuses, ummm I mean reasons, and just shush!!

You would think the step up would show up in football recruiting, but so for it has not.

Ish.

Turn stuff around?? We were in a good place when JJ left us.

The cupboard was bare.

Ugh, no it most certainly was not.

Benford hasn't got his own players in place yet.

But he's had really, really good players already here.

Ridiculous substitution patterns suggest otherwise.

We haven't played together enough yet.

...perhaps.

Mr. Walker, perhaps you should brush the dust off of your sarcasm detector.

Benford = Vic Trilli

Don’t underestimate what Floyd is putting together at UTEP. They are going to be very tough in the near future.

They have been saying that in EP since Haskins retired.

It also doesn’t help them that in the past few years they’ve lost their Head Coaches to A&M, Nebraska, and Auburn. Every time they start having success they lose their Coach.

Benford = Vic Trilli +1

Benford = Vic Trilli

Could be but I'm willing to give him at least a half a season to see how he progresses as a coach. I just hope he can progress and get up to speed a lot quicker as he inherited a team with some serious talent that was ready to "take off". The first 6 games though it is very alarming the type of play we're seeing.
