[FAU vs USF]

I think FAU probably still gets in right now, but not with another loss pre conference tournament.

FAU cut it down to one, but 25 points is just asking too much to come back from 99.999% of the time.

When the Owls got down 25 I thought it was done, but they've made it competitive.

I find it hard to believe that we can't find 1 of the 75+ teams from the five major conferences (or six with the Big East) to come play us in Denton every year. But if that's the case, why aren't we at least trying to get some teams like Texas Southern, Texas State, Prairie View A&M, Tarleton, or Abilene Christian to come play us instead of Angelo State and LSU Shreveport. Those games should be wins and also draw a little more interest from our fans.

I guess the idea is that Angelo State won't hurt our NET rankings or whatever, but Texas Southern/Prairie View would.

Wow! #21 ranked Virginia is headed to the NIT? How many other Top 25 teams are headed to the NIT? 🧐🧐

I remember it happening once or twice in the last 35 years or so, but it's quite unusual.

 

Also, it's never a Power League team that gets the treatment.  I wanna say it happened to UNLV once in the 90s and then maybe again about 15 years ago to someone like Drexel.

NCCA could do a lot of things if they grew pair….they have let college athletics run wild. They clearly don’t want control but yet want all the money. Lazy, cowardice… idk. I guess new leadership is needed. 

It's more like the NCAA can't stop the big boys and if they tried those schools would just break off and do their own thing entirely.

[NIT Bracketology (2/16/24)]

The NCAA can't stop other tournaments from doing their own thing, and with the way the NIT is being changed and don't want them to.

Winning at elevation is tough - but otherwise I'd take our chances against CU.

I have followed NT since 1966 and I can tell you that we NEVER beat Memphis ever.  Hats off to the team, the crowd and especially Coach Hodge.

I think the audio broadcast said it'd been 50 years.

That was a big one to stop the bleeding against a talented opponent.

Still super hot from long distance.  Gotta nurse this the rest of the way.

If you'd told me at the under twelve, we'd be up nine, I woulda jumped at that.

Keeping our nose in front.  Scott really needs to come out of his funk, but he's still playing nice defense and grabbing boards.

I remember mentioning these scoring droughts once…and somebody told me “everybody has them”

I think most teams have ones that last 3-4 minutes.  Given our slower pace of play, it's not surprising ours can last longer.  On the other side, we also shut down teams for long minute stretches though.  Hell, Wisconsin went over 9 minutes against us.

 

What we don't need is multiple stretches like that.  It's what killed us in the CUSA tourney a coupe of years ago.

I'll take it.  Worried if our shooting vanishes again though.

Game seems to have settled for now.  Considering out three point shooting so far, I wish we had a bigger lead.
