  1. There is zero benefit to doing a home and home with Texas State every year and watching them sell out by throwing weekend starters and their closer in the 6th inning.
  2. Another thread derailed by the same poster spewing the same nonsense. Yay.
  3. Basketball isn’t getting much from the house settlement. I’m assuming that number will be the total.
  4. Goodman reporting Darian DeVries (WVU coach) is a top candidate for the Indiana job.
  5. It will be a total garbage if UNC is in the field and Texas is not. If UNC’s jerseys said Boston College they wouldn’t even be on the bubble. I’ll accept it if both teams are left out but at some point you have to beat a few teams with a solid pulse, and UNC had 13 chances and went 1-12.
  6. We have no evidence of who Presley, Codie or Vinson are. I'm more inclined to believe they are JAGs than guys who will be contributors next year. There is very little Nic Codie showed this year that you couldn't find if you threw a rock out the portal window and asked it to hit a forward. That is a bleak roster outlook and that is assuming all the players who are eligible to return, would return, which almost never happens in college basketball.
  7. They played just as many 300+ NET opponents as Texas (6) and played 11 Q3 or Q4 opponents, while Texas only played 9. I'll acknowledge their top-end non-con (Louisville, Michigan, Arizona) was better than ours (Ohio State, UConn, Saint Joe's), but their non-con ain't THAT much better. KenPom has it 320th nationally. I agree they are likely in, but it's been weird to see all these Bracket guys pencil in a team with the same conference record as us and a lower NET as a "lock".
  8. Pierce was largely let go because of multiple off-field issues/incidents, including several at the end of his tenure that put the nail in the coffin. I don’t think it’s an apples to apples comparison. If Terry is fired, it won’t be because of that. Pierce also had results on the field that far exceed what Terry has done that could have bought him more time if it wasn’t for the other issues.
  9. Saint Joseph’s beating Tech in Brooklyn was funny at the time but for our overall resume it would have probably been better for us to play Tech in that championship game.
  10. OU is about to be the first 6 conference win team to ever make the tournament in recent history. The bubble is disgustingly bad and if you have a pulse you are basically in the field of 68.
  11. And he’ll get it next season playing on a crappy NBA team while averaging double figures.
  12. One of my favorite Texas basketball traditions is when we try to say a guy who is a first round needs to come back to school. Happens with every one and done we’ve ever had. I’m sure there were people back in the day who said KD needed a sophomore season to “work on his strength!” or something stupid.
  13. I’m sure he is super eager to come back and work for the people who fired him with cause at the lowest point of his life.
  14. The NBA doesn’t seem to think so. They are picking him in the the top 10 in the deepest draft in a decade.
  15. I'm not sure how 4-12 OU has a 38% chance to make the tournament. 6-12 is not getting you in.
  16. I don’t know what goes into ESPN analytics but I would put Texas’ chances closer to 50% than 30%. It feels like we say this every year but this is one of the weakest bubbles in recent memory. I’ve love to see the resumes other bubble teams are boasting that make ESPN think they have that much better of a chance than Texas.
  17. Yes, the guy who publicly said in a press conference that everyone on the team was giving up something for 4 months as a sacrifice for the season and he was giving up beer. I'm sure that guy doesn't drink. You nailed it. https://www.barstoolsports.com/blog/3390021/its-time-to-go-all-in-on-texas-basketball-after-chris-beard-said-hes-giving-up-beer-this-season-as-part-of-team-sacrifice
  18. Why would he want to come back to work for the people who fired him with cause at the lowest point of his life? The only people entertaining that thought are those living in fantasy land.
  19. It’s college baseball, you should always worry about the bullpen after the top 2-3 guys. It’s that way for almost every team.
  20. Texas isn’t playing in the NIT. I’m surprised that tournament still exists. Almost all the teams invited usually decline so they can just get started with the portal and offseason.
  21. Yes, me, the guy who has said for 2 months Rodney Terry isn't coming back, "defending" him. I am defending the idiotic idea that he would be fired 2 weeks before the season ends.
  22. I know your entire fandom is built around bad takes and kneejerk reactions, but CDC is actually going to wait 2 weeks for the season to end like a normal person because contrary to what you believe there is very little accomplished from pulling the plug 14 days before the season ends for a team that may or may not be playing in the postseason.
  23. For a fanbase and program that needs to be re-energized, an almost 60-year-old Quin Snyder, who hasn't coached in college since 2006, probably isn't moving the needle.
  24. I hope they have a plan for the recruiting side as I can’t imagine Akina will be doing much heavy lifting on the trail. Nice to have him back but definitely goes against the grain on some previous hires that have been made.
