If we really think we’re a 5 or a 6 then we should beat a 9 with some comfort. Not sure one can have it both ways, although it is on brand for many of this team’s fans. The incessant whining here is the clear mating call of the loser… half y’all call and the other half comes runnin year after year!

If I remember correctly, we had a decent relationship and shot with Neyor the last time he was in the portal before the big schools started sniffing around. He's on scratch-and-dent pricing now, and I think he'd be a great target for us to essentially replace Vaughn if he's healthy. His last year a...

Pretty sure you aren't allowed to mix school and player when it comes to NIL. So you could either have a player name and number on a non-school jersey, or a generic jersey number with no player name on a school jersey. If a player wants to just go out and strike a deal then it's true that they can'...

If the PAC 12 gets the TV money they want, nothing will change. They will stay at 10 teams. That's my guess. It's all 99% talk to me. Big10 money will be double what PacLeftovers can get.

so the big 12 and ybu are finally going to admit that no one in the PAC wants to joint their new AAC++ conference? About time. The speculation in this thread and the new reports is that Utah, Colorado, Arizona and Arizona State will go to the Big 12. So that would leave Cal, Oregon State, Washingto...

Looks like Or and UW are headed to Big10 as vetting process is starting to leak. Not a surprise given their revenue generation and brand potential. The Big 12 will take Colorado, UU, and Az schools and call it a day. The Big 12 tv deal with fox allows up to 16 schools. Any other additions will requi...

Is it really just semi pro now plus a few have not players who play for the love? Look at Wyoming, look at us… This seems to be the new normal. Can anyone talk me out of it? https://ftw.usatoday.com/2023/03/charles-barkley-college-basketball-nil-payments-60-minutes FYI, Hickory (Milan HS) hasn’t wo...

This is something that's been on my mind lately. We all know Division 1 football is getting crazy. The gap is only widening between the P5 conferences and those not in it. The revenue gap is getting bigger and the NIL is only creating a bigger chasm. The arms race to keep up with facilities is nuts...

The University of Texas job is also open. I'm really nervous that Odom is going to get an offer there as well. With Self's health issues at Kansas I've heard they're starting succession planning. Odom has to be considered there too, right?

If we want to break the curse, we need to avoid Q4 losses in the regular season and secure a 5-6 seed in the tournament. I’m convinced that’s the only way That would certainly help. We’ve had a lot of very confident folks who argued over the last 2 weeks that we are a top 20 team. It amazes me that...

Didn't Missouri know about our NET??? Remember that Einstein quote regarding insanity being defined as doing the same thing over and over and expecting different outcomes. For the better part of 30 years USU has had a light schedule OOC and a gawdy winning percentage and we then are disappointed by...

Better call in a favor to your P5 contacts. Just because Stew said it doesn't make it true. If we are happy to play on the road without return games there are a lot of teams that will play us. See schedules of some of our MWC mates. I do believe that it is hard to get home and homes with these teams.

cbingham

Maybe one day The worst part about this year is we actually looked like the better team today, only time I think we can say that the last 4-5 tournaments. Just poor shooting and not taking care of the ball did us in At this point we can’t expect any calls, it just sucks it ends up bothering us and ...

cbingham

My best guess is that winning or losing this game was a huge factor in Coach Odom being poached away or not. Not really. There is one job out there to pay attention to. UNLESS Noelle lets Jerry do his job and extent Coach Odom. Assume that we're talking Wake Forest given family history? I'd argue t...

Played way above expectations... can't complain about that.

Very odd, why so late?

We’ll see lots more players hit portals at the end of spring ball as well… not so late.

And for that matter wtf do we have to do to play an evening game for once? Feels like the last 3 appearances we’ve played pretty early, ruins the rest of the day when we lose

Be a big enough TV draw to justify a prime time slot.

What do we know about them?

Couple of guards who shoot it well from outside. Not a lot of athletic size which bodes well for us. I like the matchup for the Aggies. SDSU game gives so much material for Odom. Confidence should come out of shooting that poorly and still being in it.

FAU, St Mary’s, or Northwestern

NW is top of my list. They’re about 170 in OPP 3 %. FAU is much better and St. Mary’s is average. NW gets most points out of their guards but none are elite shooters.

The Net is clearly data driven and we have a better Net than BSU. Which part of the Net calculation would you tweak if you think BSU is better than us? Once again, I am a broken record, but the NET is supposed to be just a rough measure of the relative strength of teams. #1 is probably better than ...

Our guys looked more tired than what I’m seeing in for example the Texas replay. Texas went from a 7:43 PM tipoff, getting done at 10 PM and a turnaround of playing at 4. A total of 18 hours between games. 3 more hours than the 15 between midnight and 3 PM. 3 hours, don’t think that is a massive di...

Strange that teams all over America are completing in tournaments just like us (with multiple games in multiple days) and yet many of the teams are still managing to shoot near season averages. I assume it must be the difference in refs or gravity? Our guys looked more tired than what I’m seeing in...

And again we had to play by a different set of rules. SUDS gets away with soooooooooo much. Weird officiating against SDSU. Some soft calls on perimeter and letting physical play go. They had 1 foul called in last 8:35 SDSU + 13 on FT made and +12 on FT shots Look at their shot chart and ORBs. Thos...

with these clown officials, what a joke, Larry Spaulding and Dave Hall are two of the worst in the land

Are they bad only for us? Every other team board thinks they suck too. Lazy excuse… wasn’t why we lost.

My next poll is what is the board more obsessed with? Referees or NET ranking?

Best post I’ve seen a while. Let’s throw off the chains of small man’s syndrome. Focus less on the perception of getting jobbed and instead have confidence this team can win a post season game without Tony Brown!

Dutcher's plan was to wear us down. He even said it at the first media interview timeout they had. He knew he had a deeper team and we were running fast in our two late night games. Tired legs were a killer. You could see it in the missed FTs and layups and especially in the 3 ball. Front rim on 3s...

Yep, they need to start these quarterfinal games a hour and a half or two hours earlier. The two and three seed gets a really bad schedule. In the revenue model that is sports you play when TV tell you to. Accordingly we play late. Let's not pretend these kids would all be asleep by 10:30 PM if the...

If we're in the NET 20's or lower and pick up say 2 more Q1s by selection Sunday (combo of NM, Nevada x2, and/or SDSU), could we be a 7,6 or maybe a 5 seed in the Big dance? That 6/11 west bracket in Denver would be awesome! Thoughts? 8-11 is the range I’d expect. Need to demonstrate success agains...
