Benford: "I'm taking 4 Suits to Hot Springs"

[Harry]

While this season as a whole can’t be chalked up to anything close to
good, the Mean Green have won 4 out of their last 6 games and just beat
the #2 seed in the Sun Belt Tournament by 14 points. Head Coach Tony
Benford said after the game that “I wouldn’t want to play us, I’m going
to take 4 suits”. Benford believes that his team is dangerous going
into the tournament and with the return of point guard Chris Jones they
are healthier than they have been in quite some time. The whole team is
pushing forward with the mentality that they can beat anyone and should
take it one game at a time. Many players spoke about their confidence
going into the tournament.

Coach Tony Benford

“I wouldn’t want to play us, I’ll be honest with you.

When you have guys like Tony and Roger who have been in that

championship game, Chris Jones and the way Jordan is playing right

now….were going to take it one game at a time”

Somebody that is at the tournament needs to keep "suit score."

GO MEAN GREEN

I heard he was going to start subbing his suits like he does with the lineup in hopes of better results.

[UNT90]

But how many of them will be empty...

[Green P1]

Well that's nice.

[Harry]

[CMJ]

I just hope he needs more than one of them. If he gets to a third suit I'll consider the tournament a decent success.

[curtisdaa]

I would rather he take one Lou Carnesecca sweater.

To old of a reference?

Pack the whole closet. Furniture too. I'll chip in for a u-haul.

We won by 24 not 14

We've lost just about everything else, what's 10 points here and there?

I would so give you every +1 imaginable if you were only capable of receiving such accolades.

Maybe he can go to Hot Springs and someone can convince UALR to make a trade with us to give us Shields as our next coach...it has as much of a chance of happening as Benford actually wearing four different suits in Hot Springs while coaching games.

[NT1978]

That's encouraging, he must have three interviews set up for that time.

Damn. Yours is better.

Nice work.

At what high schools?

[Green to the Bone]

I got your four suits right here.

Two corporate lawyers, an accountant, and a backstabbing stockbroker.

Sounds like the beginning of a guys-walk-into-a-bar joke.

[forevereagle]

That's nice and all, but how many pairs of shoes is he bringing?

[MDH]

This just means he hit up the Joseph A Bank buy one get three free sale on his way to Hot Springs, chill.

MTSU's play by play announcer tweeted :

@Chip_Walters: Tony Benford has three clean suits available if anyone needs one. #sbc

Or underwear? I guess he doesn't concern himself with skidmarks after the way this season went to shit.

Isn't it a bit concerning that 3 people associated with the Belt (A St. Coach , LaLa radio announcer, and now this guy) have openly made fun of Benford or called Benford out in public?

Shouldn't that tell us something?
