  1. It probably has to be considered a promotion because of the people who bought season tickets and single game tickets in advance. I bought season tickets and don't care if we lower the price now but some others might. I just want to see people in the seats.
  2. Conference USA is a ONE team league. Last year proved that when we didn't get a NCAA bid. UAB now has 3 losses, Western is down, the only way we could possibly get two teams in would be if FAU went undefeated the rest of the way and got into the top 20 but lost in the conference tournament title game. I don't see that happening. FAU will lose a couple of games on the road AND Saturday at home against the Mean Green!
  3. They need to do that buy one get three free ticket promotion for every home game the rest of the season. It got more families and Denton people out to the games and they still spend money on concessions. The more people in the Pit, the better the atmosphere and game experience. If we continue to win then next year, with the AAC opponents coming in, we might be able to get good crowds without having to basically give tickets away. I would also have someone from the ticket office contact the season ticket holders that don't use their tickets and ask them if can't go to the game, to donate their seats back so that teachers, first responders, youth groups, ect could go to the games. It's embarrassing to see the white banners on the same seats every game. I'm sure they are probably not individuals but corporate seats.
  4. La Tech fans from the Metroplex usually show up so that may help.
  5. I appreciate everything Seth did for our program but he has a 1 million dollar buyout to help him get over this. He'll be just fine.
  6. Mac said he was sick but wanted to try and play.
  7. SMUT lost at home to (5-0) Louisiana Lafayette.
  8. That blowout loss at UTA with Benford was worse.
  9. They made great plays to win it. Best team won. Proud of our effort.
  10. Did we end up using all our available basketball scholarships for the upcoming season? Was thinking we held on to one in case someone became available this summer. Thanks
  11. Heard from a reliable source that Delong is leaving to coach Texas Tech. Announcement next week. Sucks to lose a really good coach.
  12. 7 more months till basketball starts again.
  13. I was just as mad, frustrated and disappointed by the loss yesterday as everyone else but to call this a choke job and wasted season, as some on this board have, is way off base. Before the season began, we lost our two best scorers and post. Hamlet being arguably, one the best players we have had in program history. We were picked to finish 6th in our division. If you had told me this team would set the school record for consecutive wins and win the regular season title by 2 games, I'd have questioned your sanity. This team is a bunch of Hard working, over achievers, that almost no other D1 schools wanted. We don't pass the eyeball test warming up against UAB, FAU, Middle, UTEP or Western. All have better athletes than us. These 7 guys bought in to playing a hard style of basketball to be able to stay on the floor with more talented opponents. They put winning first. We didn't blow out any good teams this year. We won grind it out brawls. Not pretty to watch but effective because we made big plays in crunch time. We came up short Friday. It sucks but to say we choked is not fair. They earned the right to play in the NIT and I will be at every game possible. The old timers remember a time when we would have killed to get an NIT bid. No it's not the Dance but still a historic and respected tournament. Go Mean Green!
  14. If the game is close. Expect to see La La go to the hack a Bell.
  15. I think we would all love to get those type of top area recruits but those are usually not the type that want to play in this type of slow down, defense first system. I think you saw that with Woolridge and Gibson leaving to go to programs that play more pro style offenses that would showcase their talents. Now maybe if we could get those type of athletes Grant would change. Interesting question. I just think it would be really hard to convince a top HS player to come play in our current system. I really wish you hadn't mentioned Tommy Newman and Spud Webb thing. I was just starting to get over that!
  16. It was a big swing and a miss. Unfortunately, it happens. He played at the beginning of the season and wouldn't or couldn't fit in Grant's system.
  17. The style of game we play doesn't lend itself to getting a lot of points in NET, KENPOM ect. We get points for upsetting teams better than us and for beating the top teams in our conference on the road. Since our margin of victory is usually not very great, we need to accept the fact that we probably aren't going to be better than and 11 or 12 seed. We just aren't flashy and that's alright with me. Just ask Purdue. Let's just win!!!
  18. Let's quit worrying about NET points and just go win the conference tournament.
  19. I wonder if there is any chance this game gets moved with the possible bad weather coming in Wednesday. Hope not but with our weather, you never know.
