SMU is not a step up from USC - lol.

Maybe we should all appreciate the years Ruben and Aaron have stayed here even more!

Can we at least spell Rubin's name right?

I think we've been overall fairly reasoned.  Maybe there's a bit of a jilted lover syndrome going on, but that's gonna happen at any program.  You don't think when Caleb Love left UNC he wasn't ripped on Tar Heel messageboards, because I assure you he was.

The best thing about having Hodge as a coach was he came from JUCO where they often have massive turnover year to year, which has now become the norm in DI too.  I'm sure he was at least partially ready for this scenario.

I mean...we went 1-1 against SMU, so its not like we didn't beat them.

Plenty of the NIT semis and finals I watched on TV weren't exactly highly attended.  Traveling to NYC (unless you're in the north east corridor) on short notice in the middle of the week isn't easy or cheap.  When you had a school like St. Johns, or Penn State - the Garden would be rocking.  Not so much when it was Stanford vs Miami.

Indianapolis and Hinkle is a much better location for the NIT than Las Vegas' Orleans Arena IMHO though.  It's a historic venue and that is total basketball country.  Only the fact that Indy is so often in the rotation to have the Final Four would prevent it from moving there on a more permanent basis.

As long as Kennedy is at UAB, they will continue to be a thorn, and it doesn't look like Charlotte is going anywhere.   Does Memphis do anything over the offseason?   
It's nice to have a team that's always contending.  We actually have to think about what the other contenders are doing to keep up/be better!

UAB is an equal, but they don't scare me the way FAU did.  I always thought the Owls were just flat better than us.  I don't have that feeling about anyone else.

[Where do we go from here?]

Where do we go from here?  One way ticket to the AAC champs. 

 

May out at FAU?  USF was great this season, but I need another year before I'm convinced.  No one else scares me.

We played with them for basically a half, but once they got the lead up to 13 -15, it felt like we were mentally broken.  Still, even if it wasn't the season we'd hoped for, I still give us a B.  On to October!

Not that we probably would have won anyway, but we never seemed to have recovered from the massive run right before halftime.  If not for that.....maybe?

Things have just completely gotten away from us now.

If we could have hit some of those layups, this would still be a game.  As it things are very grim.

Just can't buy a bucket right now....

With UAB and FAU both going out on Friday, and no AAC teams in the CBI.  I declare North Texas the MBB team who has gone the farthest in March! 🏆

USF too.

Edwards heating up.  We really need to keep them off the offensive glass - it seems like they've gotten half their points off of missed shot put backs.

[Seton Hall (3/23/24)]

SHU 33 -------- NT 24

 

Halftime

 

We keep missing shots inside of five feet from the hoop.  It's killing us.  Catastrophic way to end the half.

SHU 21 -------- NT 19

It might be 23....their last basket is under review.  Our offense seems to have gotten back on track after being locked down awhile.

We look all out of sorts.  Gotta regroup.

Allen comes in and shores things up down low.  Looking solid so far.

Pretty good start.  Playing solid defense, but we have to work on the glass, because they're dominating there right now.

[Seton Hall (3/23/24)]

In Las Vegas because my wife has a work thing.  They had a convention room with about 30 TV and projectors with games going yesterday when we got in that I only left when we went out for dinner.  Pretty sweet set up.

 

They won't have the NIT, so I'll be watching that from our room.

Biggest story of the day was Kentucky going down.  Actually other than Tennessee, the SEC struggled.

Mountain West is so overrated 

I mean, SDSU did make the title game last year.

 

I'd say the A-10 is pretty underrated too.
