  1. we out rebounded(38-33) them and scored more in the paint(32-28). they hit 6 more 3's while taking 6 more. That's +18 for them.
  2. for the love of god people need to stop with this nonsense. a big who is one dimensional and can only score down low hurts an offense. it clogs the lanes. slows down ball movement and allows the defense to sag back and take away driving lanes for other players. youngblood scored plenty down low. you know who doesn't score down low if we have a one dimensional big man there? Youngblood because the opposing center could sag back and play help instead of having to guard Pryor at the arc. Now if you're talking about a big man who can play in and out then I agree but they are extremely rare BTW we out rebounded them and scored more in the paint than them which everybody has been saying we needed to do more of this year. we lost because they shot(6) and made(6) more 3 pointers than us. that was +18 points for them.
  3. carriage fees are going away. tv money will turn into streaming money. only way they get an increase like that is if they charge a ridiculous amount for a big 12 streaming service which will of course reduce demand. isn't going to happen.
  4. he signed 2 of our top 3 NBA players while here. pretty tough to transition from c-usa to big east after losing your 2nd leading scorer to cancer
  5. We scored 83 points and shot 40% from 3. Their defense isn't why we lost. we had 14 offensive rebounds to their 13 so that wasn't it either.
  6. I stand corrected. He does get a $50k bonus if their graduation rate is in the top half of the SEC. They really do care about academics..... of course he gets an $875k bonus for winning a natty it's crazy how much leverage these schools give these coaches.
  7. lol like bama cares about academics.... the big 12 actually pays out less than the acc. sure the payout might drop some for the acc but not enough for some of the best academic schools in the country to join the likes of wvu and texas tech now maybe if the sec or big 10 came calling you'd have a point. no academic powerhouse is going to make a lateral move to join a conference full of 100+ rated schools we would be the highest rated academic school in the big 12....
  8. disagree. I think academics still matter to the presidents of those schools. I think there are only 2 big 12 schools ranked in the top 100. That's tcu at 98 and baylor at 93. Duke, Stanford etc would not want to be associated with wvu, TTech, Kansas state, etc.
  9. facility upgrades were something they could control unlike coaching hires which are more of a crapshoot. they certainly don't hurt as far as making us more attractive to a conference.
  10. I just don't see it. even if they lose top few teams, The ACC is academically heads and shoulders above the big 12 or reconstituted pac 2. I think this still actually matters to some schools.
  11. I'm sure he could take them with him and probably get them paid as well.
  12. Cal and Stanford wanted nothing to do with big 12 for the academic reputation. they will not want anything to do with boise, sdsu and memphis
  13. seems to me that the stadium isn't the only thing they have invested in. we have a new indoor practice facility. I believe a new football center is in the works. They have hired new coaches in both major men's sports. I'm sure there are other upgrades planned as well. you constantly complain about how we have been left behind and now that they are trying to do something about it you complain about that too. perhaps you should just go be a fan of ucf.
  14. if they were of the impression that it was needed to be considered for a move to acc or big 12 then yes they needed to.
  15. Not sure you realize the spike in construction costs we had with the great inflation of 2020. prices of construction materials are up almost 60% from 2014. That means a $266M stadium now costs roughly $425M.
