I wonder if FAU is having this same conversation.

Mac

is a good tough coach. Smart and gets the best out his guys….. but….. I am unsure he ever studies offense. Some plays but really it’s waste 25 seconds then either attack or take a contested three. 

I don't believe it is Mac not studying or knowing offense. Especially when he is over there stomping his foot to get offensive players moving.

I think when you have coached a group of players to slow things down until the last 10 seconds - they get complacent for the front 20 seconds of the clock and may get accustomed to playing that way, even when they need to speed it up.

[UAB (3/10/23)]

FAU, Charlotte, and UAB felt like our opponent was playing our game plan against us - just better.

They were able to stagnate our offense, either by their doing or our own. I can't tell.

 

It's tough to watch, but UAB hit some tough shots, played really well and had a good game plan.

[Just saw a CBS Sports Tournament Preview]

The Athletic had an article that said our metrics make us one of the top 5 "giant slayers". That is - if we make it to the court with some of the top teams in the country - the likelihood of the Mean Green coming out on top is higher than other bubble teams. I might have skipped over some parts of the article explaining exactly how that was determined, but good press nonetheless.

Honestly don't understand how a WKU win did this, but I'll take it.

It isn't just WKY. It would also be the performance or non-performance of every other team we've played this year.

How was that not a technical on that guy after he fouled Stone? He put his hands on the ref.

Again - These refs are being very friendly in El Paso.

[@ UTEP (2/18/2023)]

How has UTEP not won more games this year? If this is the type of defense they play, they should at least be middle of the pack...

I guess they can just hang all over us but any small swat we'll get called for.

The refs have been trying to give the Miners the benefit the whole game. They've been giving Golding a long leash.

[2023 NET Rankings]

If we are going by straight NET (They don't), we would currently be one of the first 4 out.

[2023 NET Rankings]

One of my favorite sites:

https://bracketologists.com/visualizations/net-kenpom-scatter

Before we lost to FAU the first time, we were about where A&M is now in Net and they were about where we are now (although KenPom has consistently favored them). Since the second FAU loss, we have stayed about steady despite the loss to Rice.

In other words it wasn't specifically the Rice loss that has hurt us. We had 2 chances to beat FAU and move into the conversation. Beyond that, there isn't a whole lot of opportunity to stay in front of teams that have more opportunities for wins against great teams.

[UAB (2/9/23)]

I don’t mind draining the clock to maybe find easy shots in the process. I mind that we look stagnant, then lost, and then frantic when we need to shoot.

[UAB (2/9/23)]

Player uniforms are too similar. It’s disorienting.

UNT wasn't able to cover the 9.5 spread, and regardless of the NET formula, the Mean Green tumbled from #38 to #47. LT beat the spread in their loss and moved up from #152 to #143. This indicator has not failed this season.

Yes. That city's school is on the downslope with a coach that doughy. Onward to football and beyond whatever outdated game that that part of the country wants to play.

Did their coach actually cry to Phil Bennett about football happening?

We are 3-22 from three. Just terrible. Free throws are great, but it’s not sustainable ball to bank on 25 points from the line.

I looked at the stat line at the end of the game and could not fathom... 4-24 from 3. UMass was 0-10.

Bizarre
