  1. Genuinely surprised UNT got into the NIT, but glad they did. Time to turn all the good play into post-season Ws with a chance to make up for one of those Ws that got away early in the season, i.e. LSU
  2. That game reaallly hurt FAUs metrics. Down to 39th from 33rd in NET. Those metrics were really one of the main argumnets in their favor. (apart from that win over Arizona). Frankly it would have been less dangerous had they lost a round earlier to UNT, as at least that would have been a Q2 rather than a Q4 loss. If the commitee really wants to get rid of them, they now gave them a good excuse with a third loss below Q2. If Temple wins, that really is the worst case for the conference.
  3. I really just want the winner of the tourney to be from the first semifinal. if FAU wins the conference only gets one bid. If Temple wins it probably pushes FAU down to first four and Temple will get bad seeding (a 15 at best). If UAB or USF win, the conference gets a second bid and a team that could make some noise from what will likely be a 12th seed.
  4. This was a disapointing season to me. Maybe they get into the CBI to salvage a bit of it. But to me the injury thing is overblown, because this team also didn't really get any notable wins before. It kept coming up just short, no matter who was on the court. The schedule was tougher and littered with opportunities for quality wins, and this team kept playing efficient until it actually counted and the only thing close to a quality win it got was a home win over an SMU team that had similar problems in terms of not managing to turn its good play into wins. Hodge has many things that a great coach needs (the defensive coaching is clearly still great), but there are also some things that might still be missing. He does not yet appear to have found the same culture for winning that mac had from the moment he arrived in Denton. The team started out like a mac team (that is not a compliment for mac teams usually start slow into the season), but then never turned it around like a mac team usually did and never got into this keeping your foot on the opponents throat once you have him down, nor the "we can come back from any deficit" believe.
  5. Don't know what beverage you are drinking, but please point me to where I can buy some of it.
  6. Honestly, I would have preferred any of the other 5 win teams over Tulane. Tulane has by far the best NET ranking of them, and frankly is tied with them because they had drawn clearly the toughest conference schedule (twice against SMU, UNT, UAB, FAU and Memphis i.e. no double draw against anyone from the bottom half of the conference). Their NET and other power rankings are a lot better than their win number. Which feels familiar.
  7. Yes. It works the same as the mens, except that there are 4 less at larges. The NIT I think is rather likely at this point. However to make the NCAA tournament I really think they need to at least make the final to have any kind of chance.
  8. The athletic had them"on the bubble" in their bubble watch 5 days ago. Might still be a longshot, but if they make it to the tournament final, there is at least a chance they get into the field, even if they lose there.
  9. A decent percentage in the rise is the SMU game, which -sadly- is likely to be a one-off. That said, I do think the AAC opponents draw maybe a bit better than the old C-USA did. I know there is overlap etc, but people might know a bit better who Memphis is than who MTSU is, who USF is rather than FIU (even though FIU is the bigger university) etc.
  10. Rosenmueller plays on the Korn Ferry tour recently with not too much success. Snyman plays on the asian tour and had quite a few top 30 results recently, but no real top 10s. Kristof Ulenaers plays on the pro golf tour (without looing it up i think that is third level in europe), where he seems to be fairly conistently making the cut and often top 15, but hasn't had the big top3 result lately, currently 12th in the order of merrit. Cazaubon just played this week on the PGA tour event in Mexico, but failed to make the cut by a good margin. He sometimes plays on the latinoamerica tour (PGA) There are probably a few more, but those are the ones I found easily
  11. This team ...just isn't clutch
  12. thats optimistic. I feel a 14 team will be 5+9 or in a good case 6+8, while a 16 team playoff will be 6+10 or if lucky 7+9
  13. number of things gotta improve. Tough to win when your turnover to assist ratio is 8-3 and you shoot 35% from the floor. When you add not getting to the line on top of that, it gets real tricky.
  14. Was a decent field. Not top 20 teams, but pretty much all the teams in the top 100.
