Ohio State and Cincy lose in the NIT.

It will be interesting to see how the PAC-2 attempts to rebuild the PAC. Obviously they have a limited pool of FBS programs (MWC) and perhaps some AAC schools to try and sway. First priority would be to find a willing media partner for broadcast rights for any potential membership scenario. I just don't see OSU and WSU willingly joining the MWC and dropping to G5 unless there is no other viable option, including going Indy.

The top two seeds from each region are headed to the Sweet 16 for just the fifth time. https://apnews.com/article/march-madness-32702c7f1620f8e4aeeca3b6fbdf122a

I used to think colleges were more loyal to tradition and rivalry than $$. But it turns out they can be bought too.

Washington State, Oregon State settle with schools exiting Pac-12 https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/39808513/washington-state-oregon-state-settle-schools-exiting-pac-12

Rice will be different. High academics, standards, morals, class....everything $mut is not.

Lots of missed opportunities this season. We were streaky within most games. Easy layups would have been great instead of the circus slam dunks that failed. Out-of-control ball handling into the paint for a turnover, an extra muffed pass causing the shot clock to expire, poor free-throws that would have sealed a win, etc. Ross hopefully will clean up much of it. The team needs more play-ready reserves, 3 Bigs instead of 2, 3 power forwards instead of 1, more inside game instead of just outside. Year 2 will be interesting from the roster makeover and retention standpoint.

Fans will not continue supporting college football financially for long the way it is trending. The NFL ties players to teams by contracts for specific years. College players now can leave programs anytime. The pay isn't the issue, the lock-down of the player to the school is the biggest issue.

Agree, our most challenging schedule ever.... North Texas @ Missouri L 7 28 North Texas Kansas L 10 27 North Texas Oregon State W 30 27 North Texas @ (10) Oklahoma L 10 51 North Texas @ Nevada L 24 56 North Texas UAB L 14 19 North Texas @ LSU L 7 49 North Texas @ (18) Alabama L 19 38 North Texas @ Nevada-Las Vegas L 24 34 North Texas Idaho State W 41 38 North Texas @ Louisville L 14 57

#3 Kentucky loses to #14 Oakland 80-76. I love it when the Big programs fall to the small guys!

This. We got outshot 34% to 53%, and we took 20 more shots from the floor than TCU. If we just make 5 of those 20 we win.

You will never be ACC level.

Yes. Several schools (7) were exploring exit strategy from the ACC when the SEC and Big10 were in full expansion mode. The ACC didn't want a PAC12 situation. The invites were insurance in case 2-3 schools left the conference that it would remain whole.

I bet they are looking ahead to playing Boston College or UNLV.

It will be interesting to see the women's mental state following their early exit from the AAC Tourney. Coach Burton probably had to have some re-set conversations with a few players.

You might contact our Ath Dept. I bet we were comped some player/staff tickets that perhaps could go unused.

This is their normal venue (Prudential Center) which holds 16,000...

Similar to our old Men's Gym which now only holds about 1800.

I believe both FSU and Clemson have a pending verbal deal waiting (SEC/BIG10) for when they escape the ACC. Otherwise they wouldn't be paying lawyers to file suit. There will be a mutually acceptable agreement that will allow them out since the ACC already has their replacement$.

This is fun getting to play some "Brand" teams. That's how you build your own Brand, by beating some along the way over multiple years!

He is 30-34 in his two seasons, lol. Obviously doesn't know how to spend NIL on the right players.

They are looking past us...the article already mentions when they would host the quarterfinal game next week when (if) they win.

Lol. I thought with your NIL mega=million$ you could buy players/wins in every sport?

Would Tylor Perry be starting or coming off the bench for them?
