You mean the winningest Coach we have at the moment...that John Hedlund?  And, it is his off season...well, the end of it anyway, so Wren did wait until the end of the season to evaluate Coach Hedlund

Sad thing is, RV can make these statements because there is a zero percent chance HIS job is in jeopardy for making this terrible hire. He should be kissing Mac and the football seniors square on the

What really SUCKS is the highlight of this basketball season is the firing of Benford. You think it is tough on us can you imagine being a player? Thanks to them for their effort!

I'd wait until after the game to answer this. We win tonight and it's, at the most, 25%. Likely 0%. We lose and it's maybe up to 50%, realistically.

I think we should watch objectively without thinking about him being fired today. Whether he deserves it or not.

i seriously hope not... Rice is a really crappy basketball team

Yes, but the writing was on the wall after the four game win streak. If we were on a eleven game losing stretch, Benford would have some heat on him. Now? Not much at all.

If we had been blown out by Rice today, I's say 25%-30% chance he'd be gone. Since the game is tied with Rice getting the final shot, I say there is at most a 10% chance.

Basically, Benny will be here next year, unless he steps down.

Now we are going to OT, so yeah, get ready for year 3.

Said it before and I'll say it again. If this thing goes in the crapper next year, RV should be fired. He won't, because he has a lifetime gig at UNT, but he should be.

The more I look at things objectively, RV really should be on the hot seat. And that's being favorable to him.

Between Benford, Peterson, and even football with the way he has handled OOC scheduling. By bringing Benford back and allowing him to handle this next signing class of 7 spots, RV should be tying himself to Benford and the men's program. If Benford messes up this signing class, with the last couple JJ signees leaving after next year, the program will be completely on RV and Benny. If that ends in disaster they should both be fired. I'm terrified at the idea of RV hiring our first manager for baseball.

It seems like he does OK with the "non-revenue" sports, so there is hope.

Don't worry about it. RV will call someone to ask them to consult on the baseball hire...that person will say "hey, I coach and I have a binder. Voila, new coach.

Exactly. Not to mention, the baseball hire will only be able to make RV look good. If it isn't a good hire, hey, we're only losing because we're a startup. Give it some time. If we're doing good, it'll be "look how good we're doing, only in our 'X' season!"

Another "90 feet of heat", you think?

      Why is the big white kid not playing?

      Hodge, and really McCasland before him, seem to have a lot of reluctance to playing underclassmen. the trio of Rubin, Abou and Scott all starting as sophomores is the last real example of kids getting a shot. I'd be surprised if Vice (or Cotton, or Mason) gets much run v. McNeese...they'll likely play v. TWU and get some run in that December home-stand, but unless one of them real distinguishes themselves I think the rotation is pretty well set.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      5 conference games today, the most interesting being FAU having to come right back after a 2OT loss to play 3-0 Liberty. Minnesota hosts Yale, who already gave 13 ranked Purdue a hell of a game...so their board might be in full meltdown later this evening.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      11/16...not a good night for the league...3 tough loses all by 3 points - UAB loses to High Point (UNT opponent on 12/6...they're now 4-0) 68-65. Butter Johnson showed up 21 off the bench...looks like he'd been struggling and responded with a reserve role...Lendeborg had 17-15, but UAB didn't have anyone else in double-figures. - FAU lost on a 3-pt buzzer beater to Charleston 119-116 in double OT. looks like not a lick of defense was played in this game...would've been fun to watch...both teams shot north of 50% from the floor and from three...FAU put six dudes in double figures lead by Louisville transfer Kaleb Green, but got done in by the leading scorer in the country Ante Brzovic who had 39 including the winner - Temple lost to Boston College 72-69. Temple were down as many as 14 in the first half, took a second half lead, but couldn't hang on. Jamal Mashburn Jr. looks to be a problem, but Temple doesn't seem to have much beyond him. - Memphis and USF won games they should have...Tulane lost to a 4-0 Furman.
