I'd like to know one FBS school that has done this and it has worked out for them. If you want to go way back, both Pacific and Long Beach State dropped football in the 90s. Each has had short periods of success but neither is a basketball success story. I don't think either has won a NCAA tourney game in thirty years. I'd say the opposite is true, a school like SDSU has heavily invested in its football program. Hasn't taken away from basketball. Everybody keeps looking for the easy route, there isn't an easy route. Hire good people and keep investing in infrastructure.

Got a feeling they are REALLY going to clamp down on Tylor. Need Scott and Jones to hit some shots, preferably early.

Guess I should say I gotta see how I feel if we do win it. Purdue was pretty special.

Sorry, can’t go that far.

Not worried. If Morris can’t make ANY of the QBs we have work we got bigger issues than losing a walk on.

SHSU isn’t a big team so this small lineup wouldn’t work with all teams (FAU being one) but the athleticism and shooting of this lineup makes me wish we had seen it more.

En Fuego

I, for one, have no complaints about that first half.

We won’t keep shooting the three at this clip but they aren’t exactly an offensive juggernaut. Just gotta stay active on the defensive end.

I’ve been clamoring to see what we can do with a smaller lineup. Gonna get my wish.

If Sissoko gets in foul trouble 😬

Said he’s back in NY dealing with a family matter

Forgot they switched the seeds.

Getting your wish. It won’t be in Denton, right?

Sissoko’s hands when he catches the ball down low are not good. He only seems able to grab the board and go right back up with it.

How about that 11th seed Nevada?

I imagine we would be pretty good if we made 70% of our shots. Be historically good actually.

I would’ve been shocked if we didn’t come out a little flat. We play ugly. And sometimes we play really ugly. But yet, twenty six wins. We’ll be fine.

Maybe. But with a new football coach and trying to hang on to Grant (god forbid replacing him) I’d say our money and energy could be better used on those things.

I wonder if the shine has been off Temple so much they aren’t top five. Same with Tulsa.

Curious about your top five on such a list. No need to list Gonzaga.

Back when I worked at the Pit we could barely fit all the people for the larger school’s graduations. No way a smaller venue could hold those people. I’d be shocked if the University gave up any parking spaces for a venue. They bring in too much money. Build it at the best, most logical spot available. You don’t build it so students have to walk five mins less. I do like the overpass improvement idea though.

Damn, didn’t Nevada lose their last three?

Now fix the Mavs

There’s nothing wrong with this team EXCEPT….we need a big that doesn’t need to catch the ball five feet from the basket. None of our bigs are a threat outside that therefore the space in the paint is easy to defend. Also, why don’t we have a “small” lineup more often? Scott had thirteen boards, I’d have a lineup with him as the “big”. Either way, twenty six wins is pretty damn special. Also, I didn’t see the totals but for long stretches it felt like they outrebounded us. Sissoko had one board. Only felt like we evened it up on the boards in last five mins.
