Dusty May lost them this game. In a foul situation he chooses to keep Vlad in the game and he shoots 60something percent from the line. Of course they ball deny everyone but him and he goes and clunks 2 off the rim that would've sealed it up. Really bad situational coaching.

They deserved better than what happened to them.
They definitely would've rebounded the ball there and had the last shot of the game, just needing 2 to win. Instead, they're down 3pts after 2 made undeserved FTs. I don't understand why it wasn't reviewed.The NBA on tnt crew were talking about this after the game and his they can't let fouls be reviewed. However, Kenny Smith threw out the idea of giving coaches 1 challenge at the 2 minute mark of the 2nd half where anything can be challenged and reviewed. I like that idea a lot.

Mountain West is so overrated
Conspiracy is brewing...
Did cigar and cognac parties with executives pull strings to make sure that last years final 4 didn't happen again? Which, I believe, was the lowest rated final4 ever per Nielsen. I mean, this is a billion dollar tournament. Are we going to act like that type of stuff doesn't happen?
Free throw attempts for the 3 MWC teams that have played = 18 total (6 each for the 3 teams). While their opponents had 48.
*It's also worth adding that most of the MWC teams were seeded poorly. And that's widely agreed upon.

Unless they already have someone pretty good lined up for the job, this is a dumb move. You don't fire someone who just improved year over year by 10 games.
It's remarkable. Imagine us winning 20 games and firing our coach. That doesn't even fall into the realm of having or raising expectations. It's difficult to win 20 games regardless of your conference. Now, they'll be playing tougher comp next year and the new coach will know 20 is the barometer. A lot of looking over the shoulder. Good luck, buddy.

So now the drum roll begins about whether SMU will make a run at grabbing Ross Hodge away from us..this will go on for awhile, I fear.
4 minutes ago, Tom McKrackin said:Yeah I was thinking the same thing. They will try to money whip him. Lanier was a weird hire always to me.
Unlikely. Their boosters won't take kindly to hiring a 1st year D1 coach with 14 losses. I'm not worried. And I'm pretty sure smug tried to do the same to Grant and he waited for a better gig. I anticipate, even if this unlikely scenario were to happen, Ross to do the same.

Meh. 1 has starter minutes. Another has reserve minutes. The other 2 don't play. The rest of their team (contributors)... 6'6", 6'6", 6'2", 6'4". We'll be aight if we play our game and keep playing great gap help defense.

I agree that it is realistic, but unlikely. I am hopeful, but doubtful.
we averaged 4132 per game this year. Which is a new record over the last 20 years, I believe.
we have to continue to win, and we have to start going to the tournament and having success. We don’t have to pull an FAU, but we need to make it more than we don’t, and we have to be a top 25 or close team.I was at the smu game, with my old pledge brother, and we both were blown away by the atmosphere. The students were incredible! When they started swaying we were goin nuts. We had over 7000 at that game and the pit was lit!
I say all of that to say this, if we continue success and average 5500 in 2 years, do you really think they are going to build an arena that holds 5500-7000 when in their minds, they are already about to outgrow that.
We are not outgrowing anything. Marquee games would simply dictate more ticket money, sellouts, and great atmospheres. Good games would still draw a very good crowd with an actual good atmosphere. And poorly attended games (1/3 or more of our home games) wouldn't sound, feel or look like an echo chamber. I can count on 2 hands (maybe 1) how many times the draw has surpassed 7k in the last decade+.

Let's get by Seton Hall first.

I was responding to the comment that Edwards essentially replaced Perry. Edwards can create more and score but I don’t think he was as clutch as TP.
He hasn't been clutch. And that's not to say he can't, but he hasn't. He's like a well oiled offense between the 20s.

They're having to play this game at Seton Hall's old gym because they share their current arena with the NJ Devils and are now playing an unscheduled game. As much as we can complain about athletics not owning the Super Pit, this happens other places too.
Yet, they found a way to play in front of their fans. Pretty dope little gym btw.

I don't care how fast we go as long as we keep up our defense. So fun watching these teams get frustrated.
Our weak help was slow this year. Our on ball defense took a step back. But our gap defense is brilliant. It's phenomenal, really.

Yeah... as long as we can score more than 14 points in the first half on Sunday I don't care what jersey they wear, right? RIGHT?

All I'm saying is that if St Joseph's had Tylor Perry that they would have this game on lockdown.
Maybe. Does St Joe also have Scott, Edwards, Allen, Jones, Buggs, Noland, etc? If so... give me St Joe by 10.

I think it is realistic and I don't care if there are 100 major programs with smaller arenas than us. There is no excuse for not packing the Pit. I wouldn't give up until a see even a hint of effort from our administration to do so.
Nothing suggests that it's realistic. Major brand programs aren't coming to the Pit, and they certainly aren't anymore given our competitiveness.
Ultimately, attendance and atmosphere is driven by students. Our students are very inconsistent. Our alum are too busy trying on long whorn t-shirts at Walmart so they can have their need of self-worth fulfilled.

I'm going to reverse this and say we need to be able to fill our current home when you 40,000 on campus, not counting faculty and staff, 150,000 in Denton and over 200,000 alumni living in DFW. Pack the Pit.
Not realistic. Our arena is gigantic given our leauge and attendance history. To create a little perspective, there are 22 major programs that have a smaller arena than us.
Something to the tune of what NJIT has would be pretty incredible. But make it 5500 capacity.

NT and Hodge have had a great year when all turnover and injuries are considered. Hodge is a good on-court coach, but his real strength is recruiting. He is finding players and signing them without the benefit of an abundance of NIL funds and frankly a lot attendance support.
The mark of great coaching to me is the ability to create a team that is greater than the sums of the parts. Although NT has great college players, I believe they frequently beat teams with more individual talent.
RH has does a good job considering everything.
As for your attendance remark, we have to get the team out of that echo chamber of an arena. We need a 5500-6500(max) arena that gives the team the environment they deserve.

Could you imagine how hard TP (and any other player at any other school) would drag them in social media and all over the internet if his NIL deal wasn't honored?
Kansas State would never get another player to transfer in if they did that to him.
He's a smart dude with a degree from UNT. He was never a flashy guy while here. I highly doubt he turned into one in Manhattan, KS.
Unless he used it to take care of his parents, I would bet that's exactly what he did with it (if not both).As for schools not honoring their full NIL commitment, that's happening.

He didn't outright say it, but made a comment on X about how the grass is not always greener, or something to that regard.
That's exactly what he posted on X after Georgia's early exit from the SEC tourney last year.

Listening to the SDSU beatwriter talk about their game vs UAB, he opened up his remarks with, "SDSU played UAB, a team from a much weaker conference than the MWC, the AAC."
