    This game has been absolutely stolen by the refs. UTSA setup a beautiful screen to get a wide open dunk with 6 seconds left but the refs called an offensive foul for an illegal screen. It's been non-stop fouls on UTSA. So thankful we don't play Memphis on the road.

    The real story was UTSA’s inability to play smart ball and close this game out.  They are who they are for a reason.

    I mean, it’s not like any posts on this forum are saving the rain forest or stopping human trafficking. 

    But I watched a lot of college basketball this weekend and other schools have full stands and aren’t making the excuse that school isn’t in session. 

    Most of these kids live in DFW anyway. And plenty of them are still in Denton.

    I drove over an hour to be there. I give my money and time to support this program and I believe the student support should be a lot better than it was yesterday. 

    First, you are not wrong about the students…the VAST majority of our student body lives within 45 minutes of campus.  
     

    But I would ask you to consider a few things.  
     

    1) Our students are not “normal”.  I have long felt that being a school where the main majors are music, elementary ed, and other VERY liberal arts isn’t a recipe for having a bunch of sports fans.  Hell, we even have a recruiting commercial for the University where the theme is “we’re not normal.”  
     

     

    2) With the success this team has had,  the portions of the pit that aren’t student sections are even more conspicuously empty.  Where were the promotions to celebrate the first ever AAC game at the pit?   Why haven’t I heard of a “pack the pit” night on January 25th yet…SMU is coming to our house and there should be NO trouble selling why we need a hostile atmosphere.  
     

    Somehow, some way, we need to make the pit more than a great place to quietly enjoy your nachos.

  3. Obviously Edwards’ 37 points was the main story, but a couple other tidbits of note.  
     

    - Aaron Scott had a double-double, the only one in the game

    - Robert Allen led the team in assists

    - Tulane’s Kevin Cross averages 16.8 a game…and had 9 today

  4. I just heard the single dumbest argument ever for NIL as it stands while watching College Game Day.  The prospect of requiring players to compete in bowl games as part of their NIL agreement was brought up, and one of the talking heads said “but the NIL isn’t associated with the school!”

    So, let me get this straight.   If I offered a kid who happens to play football free meals or a rent free house, that was called an “impermissible benefit” 2 years ago because I am a “booster”, though I am not employed by the school.   But, if I now offer a kid a check for 50k to sign with my university I’m just a “NIL collective” and no association with the school is implied???
