They lost in OT

Where you seeing 11 in Ft Worth?? Espn has 8-9 or 10-7 match ups there. And I like the match ups there as the 10 or 9.

Class act— these two schools have two great coaches.

We hope that drake can move up.

Holy, h-e-double hockey sticks Batman! Congratulations. GMG

Problem is that he hasn’t been doing it along the way to be ready for this.

No we have a quad one win @ Wichita state. I am using CBS sports bracketology b/c it lists all of these factors

And when you look at our net and rpi we are right there with them.

Funny how 1 and 3-8 in this ESPN poll are all seeded higher in ESPN’s bracketology. Most of them 7-10 seeds and Boise an 11 seed. Makes you go hum. We need a win today. Win for respect!

Glad we won.

And can’t do it. Hope the defense can hold it down.

Bell has a chance to seal it

Ft shooting may catch up to us tonight.

Is anyone else’s ESPN plus crapping out?

All games are important for our Mean Green. Why? Lack of respect from historical basketball powers and prognosticators. Our Net is 42 and RPI is 38 (this is comparable to some 10 seed projections). We need to win every quad 1 and quad 2 game left (this week’s games) plus not losing to quad 3/4 teams. This means win out if you want respect and a higher seed. The world will not end if we lose one of our remaining games but the road to the big dance becomes more difficult.

I was excited to see the highlight last night and wish him the best.

Would like to see 4yrs 1m/yr and a structure buyout. Plus increase for top assistant.

Yes! I would like to see him starting to get 6-8 mins a game like Osmane did last year. That way he is ready come tournament time.

Lots of good analysis on this topic. My concerns are based on our style of play. We are amazing on the defensive end, slow the game, and minimize possessions but it leads to minor flaws being more exacerbated. I wish Osmane would get an angry hair and try to just dunk more of these bunny misses (also leading to more attempts at the line and foul trouble for them) and free throws. When you only average 66 per game and you have 2 of your 7 man rotation shooting so poorly— those 1-4 extra points a game could be the difference.

So. . . McBride in the same role (wing player, spot up shooter, not our primary defensive guy) and he has dropped 18.2%??? Please explain. I think I understand your point with TB3. More of the offense is running through him (only significant change), plays a significant defensive role (huge on help defense and rim protection) but JJ draws the best player from the 1-3 (most teams have a 3 guard system).

It wasn’t an issue last year as the team shot 73%.

1. Win out 2. Win out w/ a close loss in the championship (need the tier 1 road win vs UAB this week) Knowing the committee’s historical love for east of the Mississippi basketball and their new found love of the WCC and MWC, I think these are our only two ways of making the big dance.

I have been thinking this also. It can be demoralizing to the opposition when they know you are turning their mistakes into points— especially at the end of games. Bell has dropped 10.8% from last season and McBride has dropped 18.2%.

Coach Mac needs SL money and vise versa!

I think he would have been the guy after Mason had Graham stayed on. His mobility was a negative in Littrel’s sight. Can’t imagine that he was in the doghouse ever! Great parents and now is a married man. Best of luck, sir!
