So, we lost by 3 points and 4 points to a #8 seed, and by 5 points to a #12 seed. I think we are competing on a good level and can beat any of these teams on any given day.

Liverty Biverty

Morris has been seen visiting practices in Denton. Let's tap the breaks on this "he wants to join his dad" stuff.

I can understand trying to avoid FAU, or even Memphis but every team can present a match-up problem. We've been undersized all year, but we present our own match-up problems too (Edwards, CJ in the post). If RJ and Scott can stay out of foul trouble, we can make a run. Defense is our identity and those two are the heartbeat.

NIT would be smart to invite their defending champion who is finally fully healthy

Conference tournaments have already started. Thought this halftime score from the WCC deserved a mention.

Wrong- we are a good team that can win this thing! The odds are against us but we need to remember our roots (Defense) and hang our hat there. It is an up hill battle but we can do it.

Until you do - you can't. W - 0 L - 3 MV - 3

That would be awesome, but I bet the NIT only takes two teams from the AAC. Memphis, SMU, UAB, and Charlotte all have better resumés. Maybe a run to conference title game would do it.

Stone is a good kid and we wish him and his family the best!

I am also intrigued by the Liverty transfer.

You say “rejoins his dad,” but when was the last time he played where his dad coached? But, yeah, why start a new thread on this topic?

Is it a Win and In? Automatic qualify? GMG

A run is winning 3 games, which means making the championship game. Won’t be easy, but we’re healthy now.

Y’all missed out. That’s all I can say.

If we miss out on the other two tournaments, then yes. Yes to any postseason basketball. Try to raise a banner every year.

If this is the case, maybe that opens up a spot for NIT for us.

We need to play. Ross needs more big game head coaching experience.

Great take after one year and a late start on first year recruiting. I think I will hold the coach damnation until I see one more season. By the way who was your choice for the job that NT had any chance of hiring?

Oh look, a BIBU!

I can't stand the mentality of "let's avoid this team, etc" especially a team with 5 conference wins. I guarantee you the coaches and players don't care. Just win the game and advance.

Ladies take their first AAC game, 5-0 tonight against an ECU team that was 21-2 entering the series. Back at it tomorrow.

If we can win the first tourney game I think we have a very good chance

that is my understanding. We had same in C-USA and SBC b4 that.

Congratulations to all!

All well deserved.

Not settling. It's being realistic. I would rather have the NIT, but I think if we don't make that, CBI is a nice consolation for a first year head coach.

You are right. Effort is the wrong word. Execution fits better. And if something doesn't work, why use it in production? Failure happens "on stage", but the amount of times this doesn't work tells me this is lack of effort to fix the problem than just a one time thing. Funny this is a discussion too. We need the tournament to start. For the record, I love it.

I don’t think he called either pathetic. Now, if they didn’t properly test it to learn how to use it and to work out any issues with the equipment, then the failure is on them.

I say don’t settle for CBI. Don’t downgrade our basketball brand .

Wait.. that means you would rather not win the conference tourney.

Not really calling the sponsor pathetic, but if you get a F on an exam, would you characterize your effort as pathetic? I would.

I have already said this. Grant won the CBI his first season. That would be a great accomplishment for this team. Honestly, I don't even want to go to the NCAA. NIT or CBI.

Thanks for that information.

More basketball please. Anywhere. GMG

Nothing like calling a sponsor and the student crews' efforts pathetic.

Morris is still planing on being here in the fall practice. All indications are he is not leaving anytime soon.

Usually 8/9 games are competitive.

I say just win though. I have no idea what the tiebreaker is for a multi-team stalemate. The five bottom teams (Wichita State, Rice, UTSA, Temple, and Tulane) could all finish 5-13 if Tulane beats Wichita at home, we beat Rice, and Temple wins in San Antonio but loses at home to UAB. I would just like to avoid Wichita State out of bias for their history, and Tulane because I don't want to have to beat someone three times.

We got it from the same people that made the cannon for UTSA.

Chasing 20 wins is at stake. Our seed is locked in.

Turning players into mercenaries probably is not the best development for college sports.

i would agree with you, but UNT has beaten UTEP and Rice over the past few years consistently and Sam Houston is... not good.
