I actually think it's important for us to win as many games as possible to attract decent candidates for our imminent coaching search. Also, I don't want too many of our players to transfer once the new regime begins.

I think the evidence against Benford speaks for itself at this point. No additional embarrassing losses are necessary to punctuate that point. So hey,...I'm happy we didn't blow it today.

It wasn't until 7 wins became a mathematical impossibility that the glorious day that was October 20, 2010 was upon us. I've not heard of any such threshold for basketball.

Next up - NAIA Wayland Baptist from the Sooner Athletic Conference.

Unfortunately the same logic isn't shared by the likes of RV. In the end, most people forget about how bad a win was so long as it was a win. Right now, so far as the AD and the higher-ups are concerned, this is a winning basketball program...so there is really no need for a move.

Is our AD still on vacation?

Say what you want but this was a MUCH needed win for Benford. Not pretty but sort of acts as a bandage from the deep wound of the SFA drubbing. Had we lost this game things could have REALLY gotten out of hand. Still not happy about things but calling it as I see it. This keeps the Hyenas at bay until the next game at least...

Really? Like...how?

GRN-WHT · December 17, 2013

2nd smallest margin of defeat for UCA this season.

stAte beat them 99-56 in Jonesboro a few weeks ago.

It may be a bandage for some. Some will forget the bad SFA loss. But most still remember the Alabama Huntsville loss. I don't think this helps as much as you hope.

Even though we currently sit at 6, I still don't know if we make 10.

No.

It doesn't.

I think you underestimate the effect of the worst D1 team on our schedule taking us to the wire.

And being the worst D1 team on OUR schedule means you really, really, really, really, really, really, really suck.

Yup, UAH, ULM and getting bounced in the 1st round of the conf tourney are worse than SFA for me.

Wanna play "Rank the Losses"?

I was simply stating that this was a win Benford sorely needed after the embarrassment against SFA. Are you really disputing that?

I made it clear after the SFA debacle I'm through giving him the benefit of the doubt. He needs to produce and I think he knows that.

That probably needs its own thread

You guys realize that we're the only team that has knocked off Incarnate Word all season, right?

Not making a thing. Loser donates to scholarship fund. And I only bet what I can afford to lose/donate. ;-)

I just hope some of Benford's supporters (looking at Ernie, here) realize this wasn't the players fault this year or last and this can't continue past the new year.
