I frankly don't think the league being better is a valid excuse in basketball. Other new teams didn't seem to have any big problem.

The same with the other sports; NT's track and field was just a lot worse, same for golf. Volleyball was a big disappointment with the team they had returning.

Tennis competition was a lot tougher and it showed. Swimming and diving in CUSA was stronger, but NT was also significantly down as the new coach didn't keep up the momentum.

Anyone else think that if football had a bad year that we also be hearing about the big jump in competition. Same for softball.

Yeah I'm not too high on the big jump in competition comment but let's be honest --- it is effective in buying you some time. Both basketball teams need to win big this season in my mind and NOT just Benford. Coach Pete needs to produce as well. I don't get why Coach Pete gets a pass and Benford gets all the heat.

He's starting to get some heat. But let's be honest. Compare what he inherited to what Benford inherited. Yes, Karen Aston was moving things in the right direction, but you almost have to look at him as taking over from the Shanice Stephens era. Regardless, he deserves to have a very warm seat this year. Benford's just needs to be hotter.

And it's girls basketball.

Just sayin...

Yep, one took over a program only a year removed from Shanice, the other is Shanice in a suit.

      A-Scott Projected to OU

      St. Johns is one of the great sleeping giant jobs in the nation. They have a fantastic basketball history (they haven't been that great for the last generation or so, but the Johnies do have a helluva tradition) going back about 80 years and they play in NYC at MSG.

      If…..

      Recent Past With all the excitement over Tylor Perry we quickly forgot about the best player from our recent past. The stats and awards bear it out. In my mind the answer is Javion Hamlet. No other player has accomplished what he has. https://meangreensports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/javion-hamlet/4731 Imagine what he would have accomplished if the 2020 NCAA Tournament had not been cancelled. We won the Conference in 2020 and arguably that was the best team we have ever had.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      A majority of schools could just vote to dissolve the ACC. There would be a court fight, but eventually schools that want out will be released with some greatly reduced financial penalty. It's like a divorce, you can't keep someone in an unhappy relationship, even with a contract. It will happen probably before the end of next year at the pace things are moving.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      The ACC has a media rights deal that runs through 2036 with massive financial penalties to leave. ACC schools make more money per school than the Big 12. The PAC had no media deal and zero financial penalty to leave the conference. The two situations couldn't be more different. ACC schools do not want to associate themselves with the likes of WVU, Cincy, UCF, Texas Tech, OK State and the other Truck Stoppers.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      The ACC will be picked apart just like the PAC was. Big12 will help in the raiding, just as they did with the PAC.
