Best of luck to PC

I'm honestly hoping to just hold them under 50; if that happens, then I'll be more optimistic about our season. In reality, this season won't really show what Dodge can do for us, imo, b/c he won't really have had the opportunity to bring in his players yet. I guess I'm just in a wait and see mode after the past couple of years.

Nice going I'm just counting down the days to the first game. Here's hoping for a good one

$660 = ($90 x 4) + ($75 x 4) = makes sense to me

Keep the 3-point line! The new line should be worth 3.5 points! We can have scores of 99.5 to 99! Yay!

Thanks. Took another look at the rules; it does look like he would need a release, but assuming he got one, he would be eligible to play right away, assuming he's in good academic standing, etc.

As a walk-on, he would not have a signed a letter, like scholarship athletes, so he wouldn't have been bound by the requirements to obtain a release, etc.

At this point, the next sport will be baseball. And, to add baseball, we have to either cut a men's sport or add another women's sport. If you also added men's soccer, again, we'd have to cut another men's sport or add another women's sport. Right now, we're kinda running out of women's sports that are cost-effective. Title IX requires that we balance a lot of factors, including money spent, number of scholarships, etc.

Regardless of stat lines, I think Ben Bell played his heart out. He carried that team when he was in, as any point guard should. Williams and Wooden both played strong and didn't back down; Howerton also gave some good minutes. Bottom line, they all played to win and the effort was there. I agree there were turnovers and a lot of unnecessary mistakes, but I think they all realize that and they know they had what it takes to play with Memphis and know what to work on to improve. Great season for the team and hoping they can keep it going next year.

It was a good game and New Orleans was fun, as always. Memphis fans were all over the place, but they all had kind words for UNT and the team's effort. Here's to hoping for more fun times next year.

Dang, that's gonna make it tougher to make the game on time.

You buy tickets for a "session". So you can get tickets to the afternoon session (two games) or the evening session (two games), whichever one we wind up in.

You could commit to buying tickets if we win. They'll also be setting up at the team hotel to take orders.

They could easily hit a wall when they hit us. Or I can hope. It's hard to say how good Memphis is at this point. They haven't really played anyone notable lately (in my mind) other than Gonzaga (and they're having a down year). Also, Memphis' strength of schedule is horrible. They had a nice win against Kentucky early, but Kentucky didn't really hit their stride until after their first ten-fifteen games. Otherwise, Memphis had losses to Tenn, G Tech and Arizona. Those teams don't strike me as the type of teams that a #2 seed should be struggling against so, in my mind, Memphis is a over-rated team (and the weakest #2 seed we could possibly be facing). Of course, one might argue that Memphis didn't really hit their stride until they hit their conference schedule. But, even then, when they were playing their supposed best, they managed only a 1 point win over Gonzaga (hardly strikes me as a huge statement win). It all comes down to who would you rather face right now? The defending champion Florida Gators with all their starters back? Kansas that won the Big 12 regular season and conference tournaments knocking off a tough UT team? Ohio State that just won the Big 10 regular season and conference tournmants? North Carolina (also winning their regular season and conference championships)? There's no way I'd rather play any of those teams over a #2. Going farther, we have UCLA, the PAC 10 champs (with several other PAC 10 teams in the NCAA tournament), Wisconsin (#2 in the Big 10 and reached the Big 10 tourney final - another conference with several teams in the NCAA tournament), Georgetown (just rolled through the Big East tournament - a conference with 6 teams in the NCAA tournament) and then Memphis (the sole representative of the #11 (not #1, #2, #3, #4, etc. conference in the nation, CUSA - making them a one bid league, just like the Sunbelt). All that long-windedness results in me just saying that I'm very happy with this matchup

Or, they may not care anymore. Lots of teams look at the NIT as a less than adequate consolation prize. It's up to the coaches to make them believe otherwise, but I can see how the team might be so disappointed that they mail it in at this point.

times will be announced tomorrow.

decisions on the seeds have already been made by this point. i'm thinking we're very likely a 16 at this point. the only way i could see our seed changing (regardless of movement in rpi) is if a final change requires someone to move regions and requires one of the 15/16's to move around to account for it. also, in the committees eyes, there's no reason to move someone from a 16 to a 15 at the last second b/c seeds can go up/down 1 for balance and to put you into a certain region.

WKU pulls away in the last 5 minutes to win a tough one.

FYI FAU up 38-36 at the half against WKU

63-60 Muts win

58-55 muts w/22 secs to go

what a game. going to ot.
