    This squad has a chance to be VERY special.  Potential for 5 guys to be legit scoring threats with another 2 to develop and just take the shots provided.  I am really excited about Moore’s potential to develop, he’s done some good stuff in limited minutes offensively. 

    Yeah, Moore's handling skills look excellent. He looks confident and has no fear driving into the lane. He will be a beast if he keeps developing.

    OK. Thanks! I'll check it out... People were complaining of pop up spam crap on the feed from last night... Just use Brave browser and you won't get that junk 

    No worries. I'll keep checking as well for any other feeds. Yup, I just use pop up blocker/adblock and don't see any of the ads, but I understand some may not be as good with technology.

    I am glad we won (because it would have been embarrassing to lose a to Rice), but have have very little hope for anything but a blow out loss to UTSA.   They are sitting their starters today since 1st quarter and have a good coaching staff.   They have the probably been preparing for over a week already.  We had 2 weeks to get ready for a bad rice team and had to get some lucky breaks to hold on.  Rice beat us in just about every measurable stat except for score.

    I think everyone needs to look around and see if this feels like what a championship run should feel like. I think that says all that needs to be said about how the team has performed this year.

  4. Very good win. Let's hope this team is finally showing its' true colors after the injuries and bouts of the flu. Perry is shinning through and Eady finally had a good game. Of the transfers he was the only one who hadn't had a stand out game. Ousmane still needs to make his mark on these games, I would like to see Sissoko get more minutes to help out at the post. 

    Not a lot to complain about though, great game.

    Coach Mac said in the post game that Abu had some injuries to his wrist earlier and he was getting over and flu for about a week.  He also said Abu is down 10 lbs. That might be the reason he is off.  I wish he would dunk some balls with authority. 

    All 17 players played in the game.  One guy I could not find on the program.  I found his number on the program but no way he was 7', he was more like 6' and doubt if he was from Haiti.

     

    That's brings some perspective to things. My wife was saying the same thing about the flu, that sometimes the effects linger for a week or two, even if it's out of your system. Well hopefully he can get some rest and be back to 100%. Thanks for the info.

    They will start to bail once the PAC media rights low estimates come in, about half of the Big12's expected new $$.  

    That too. If there are any real options to leave, teams will. Maybe the left overs like WSU, and OSU rebuild the PAC12 by just absorbing the MWC.

    Well, Oresco also liked us, trusted Wren, and made the first move.  It is what it is.  I would have been okay to have been in either, AAC or MWC, but I'm happier with where we landed.  The AAC has the potential to recover from what we had with Cincinnati, UCF and Houston if we get better coaching/recruiting.  There is also the possibility that the Mountain West loses San Diego State, Boise State, and/or UNLV to the Pac 12, which will definitely reduce their power and prestige.

     

     

    I was on the MWC train because I didn't think there would be a chance to get to the AAC with SMU there. Not only thinking the wouldn't want us, but also that the AAC wouldn't want to overlap markets. AAC is definitely the better move, and I'm glad we ended up where we did.

    The Pac12 is in a really interesting place, I feel like they are all eagle puking at the thought of having anyone outside of maybe SDSU join. I honestly see that as the last option and they will try either staying at 10 or maybe forming some alliance with the ACC before grabbing any MWC schools.

    If Abou knew where he was on the court and didn't fumble every pass he could easily be averaging 20ppg. He should have dominated Southern Nazarene and Paul Quinn.

    Year 1 to year 2 was a massive improvement. I guess I thought he would come out looking like a monster this year. I'm hoping some of that is still the new guys learning how each player likes to play and how to best facilitate a teammate. 

  9. Good showing, the guys are starting to ease in, but they still need more time to really get to know each other. Even the vets are having to deal with large rotations which is new for us. Martinez has been the standout of the new transfers, he looks ready to score from any part of the court. I was wondering why we didn't see Sissoko out there more in the past games. He looked silky smooth when he got the ball, IMO he needs more minutes shared with Ousmane. Having 2 viable big men would be huge. Speaking of Abu, I don't know if he is just in a funk or what, but he doesn't look like the player from last year. His hooks and shots have been off, I know he was the leading scorer tonight so maybe it's just me, but he looks like he's lacking confidence? Good game to help the team build on their chemistry. Huntsberry needs to guard the ball better, we can't have so many turnovers, but his shooting has looked good. Good game overall.

    There is no longer an NCAA requirement to have divisions to sponsor a championship game, so many conferences are doing away with divisions. 

    Some upper conferences were/are debating if a championship game helps or hurts playoff chances.  Would TCU stay #4 if they didn't play K-State in a Big12 championship game?   Ohio State and Michigan may very well be #2 and #3 but playing each other will probably knock one out of the CFP.  End of season losses are worse than beginning of season losses.

    The expanded playoff will go a long way in fixing some of those issues IMO.

    This is what the Big 12 has been doing for a few years now. Enhances the strength of schedule due to limiting games against weak OOC opponents and creates the narrative of a true champion being crowned. Conferences with divisions have the question of whether or not the champion received a favorable cross-divisional draw. Not that it's helped smaller P5 programs such as TCU this year but that's the idea. I like it but ultimately none of it matters if the committees keep looking at brand name over record. If TCU was UT or OU, they'd be top 3 maybe top 2 with little questions asked.

    Hopefully the AAC adopts the same 9 game format in the future.
