So was Michigan St. and I'd say they are pretty good at rebounding.

Just remember NT90 makes rash decisions not based on fact. Still we should have out rebounded them, but more importantly we should have defend the three better. A almost win that really should have been a win. One little bounce of the ball this way or that way and we win. No excuse in not beating Idaho tomorrow.

Classic post, Skiver, just classic.

... really? I bet there will be some. Something along the lines of:

I turned it off right after Hank said, "...and can you believe it? 5 different players have made 3's for Columbia".

Of course we can believe it!! We heard the same thing ALL season last year. This is what UNT basketball has become under Benford! We don't play together and constantly give up wide open shots from all over the floor. I think this would be less hard to take if we didn't have Benford telling us every offseason that we're going to be a defense first basketball team. We don't play smart defense. Will we ever???

Really no use discussing men's basketball on this board at all this year...every loss will be 100% credited to Benford and every win will be 100% credited to the players alone. The "usual suspects" have made that quite clear. No need to even post anything that even remotely differs from that opinion.

You are wasting you time if you think there will be any sense of a real discussion this entire season....

No more excuses. Not even the Benny blowhards and apologists can defend this. Please get rid of this man RV.

There's no way, I mean no way, that this university is going to buy out his contract after this year. He will be here, at a BARE minimum, of another year before that will be considered. My guess is that we have him for two additional years beyond this one before the consideration of firing him would happen.

That seems like the most likely possibility at this point.

Oh I agree but man this hire is a disaster. Our next coach will have to virtually start from scratch. It wont' be as hard as a decade ago probably but the work JJ put into this thing is close to crumbled if not already. Such a shame.

I think Benford was definitely the wrong man and a disaster last season. I opined on this board in fact that he should have been fired.

But that didn't happen and I unlike many are willing to see what he does this year. The Northwood game was a travesty but I think the team has shown some promise in the other real games. JJ did not exactly tear up the OC and usually played a schedule not much better than this years team.

Unlike last year, there are actually reasons to start out slow. NT has three players returning that played last year, Walton who set out last year, and the rest of basically the vagabonds of college basketball. It is going some time for this team to come together, and everyone needs to get healthy. I didn't expect anything out of this team, but I think they could be at least competitive in CUSA. Something they weren't in the lowly Belt last year.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      MWC is a push in overall terms from before the raid to after. Still a solid G6 but lower than the AAC in my mind. PACx has survived, which is all one can really expect for a conference that got shattered in the realignment. But the 2 legacy P4 schools cannot elevate that new version higher than the G6 bunch. Both of the conferences will get low-to-mid TV coverage, and fill the late schedule spots. For the AAC, I'm happy with Army over SMU. I wish we could have pulled Air Force, but so be it. I do expect the PACx to make another run at Memphis, that should be interesting. Fun fact: I've been tracking the realignment via a spreadsheet. As of the NIU change, 46 teams have changed conferences since OUT announced their move to the SEC.

      Transfer Portal Hits pre First Responder Bowl

      Because Morris & Cobbs believed they didn't need to. I think McGill, Harris, & Evans are returning, but who knows if Harris or Evans will even be healthy? We added Becks from MOSt, and Hawkins from HS in OK, but who knows what they bring? I don't know that McGill is a starting caliber RB in the AAC. If you think Porter should have been scholarship'd, you're second-guessing Pat. I doubt anyone around here really wants to second-guess Pat's judgement of talent. OR (and this is doubtful), Pat pushed to have Porter 'shiped, but Morris said "no". If that's the case, and Porter goes on to ball-out at UTEP while we struggle in the run game, it's another log on a growing fire under Morris' seat.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      The PAC stands a real chance of becoming the 'Big East of the West', but I think they'll still be fighting to get into the CFP each year with the rest of the G5. MWC obviously is a huge downgrade since they're the conference that got raided. The best thing they have going for them is stability. Outside of AFA and, to a lesser degree, NIU and UNLV, no one has any interest in those schools. AAC did well with the Army pickup. What happens in the next few years under the new commissioner will be important. As a conference, we've scheduled ourselves into a one bid joke like Sun Belt or CUSA. They've gotta figure out some strategy there. For football, it's hard to say we're better or worse off than last year. SMU going to the CFP was a fluke compared with the past 30 years, but I imagine they'll be a stronger program in general than they were in the AAC due to the amount of money and attention the ACC brings. At least while it lasts...

      Mean Green Travel to Tulane for Midweek Matchup

      I started to do "official" game threads almost 20 years ago for the men's games to try and create some order, but I don't mind when others do.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      In terms of the Pac12/MWC tweet above and what they both started with (not the legacy Pac, the WSU and OSU Pac), the Pac12 came out way ahead of the MWC. They need 1 more right? Where do they get it or do they try to add more than one. In terms of the AAC, SMU out and Army In. Love having another service academy as a conference mate and it was probably the best move the conference could make...national recognition and following. The whole Army/Navy game piece is kind of a monkey wrench. Overall, with SMU's performance and getting into the CFP this year makes the loss of SMU a bit more that the addition of Army (at least this year). Let's see how the next couple years pan out.
