Re: ACC basketball Tournament

We want Syracuse. If we hit FT the last game at Moody is not close. Add in the miracle Syracuse threes (the one at the end of the first half) and I would feel pretty good about that not happening again.

I really don't like what we saw against FSU.

Re: 2025 Bracketology and ACC Tournament Updates

Anyone rooting for SMU to drop the road game at FSU for seeding purposes is not seeing the bigger picture. You can't lose to FSU and have any path other than winning the ACC tourney.

Beating FSU and any Q1 opponent in the ACC tourney could put SMU in. That is what we need to root for.

Would be ...

Re: Chad Morris sighting

And Smith got us in NCAA hot water. Players being paid by tackle.

Tough to be fired after a 7-4 season and second place finish in SWC. (Including road wins over Florida and Arkansas).

Was it true that part of reason Fry was let go was because he did not want to be involved in the alumni payments ...

Re: Chad Morris sighting

Any coach that is hailed as the 2nd coming upon arrival, and then eventually leaves SMU for a better conference and a big pay raise is utterly greedy and a terrible human being! :D

No - just two of them.

Hayden Fry, Ron Meyer, and Ray Morrison (who took his entire staff to Vandy after an 8-2 ...

Re: Chad Morris sighting

Agree that Morris took over a train wreck that June Jones left behind. He was able to produce a slight uptick in recruiting that ultimately got the program to a point where we could beat all the bad teams on our schedule but could not compete against good teams. Give him credit for having been able ...

Re: Chad Morris sighting

I was never a fan of Chad Morris. Right before the end his last season, I said at the time that itΓÇÖs really not that hard to move a team to the middle of the AAC. I thought he was over-paid and over-hyped.

Agreed. In his three years at SMU:

He was 14-22 overall and 8-16 in AAC play. And that ...

Re: John Shumate

Mustangs beat the Longhorns and Tom Penders in the final game to take the SWC title led by Run TMG - Tim Mason, Mike Wilson and Gerald Lewis.

Texas may have been SWC clincher, but Chad Allen put us in the dance with his shot vs. Rice. Otherwise, it would have been NIT for the ponies and Rice ...

Re: 2024_25 Season Net rankings

no more bracket talk.

It's NIT or bust for this team. The "rest of the season" starts Saturday at NCSU to see how we match up against the rest of the mid-level ACC teams, which is clearly what we are

Yes - we are mid. But you forget that Mid-ACC teams actually do make the NCAA Tournament almost ...

I was confusing him with Pastner for some reason.

Re: GAME THREAD for MBB at North Carolina

In case anyone wants to see it, this is what the inside of the Dean Dome in Chapel Hill looked like this week.

I think SMU may have played in the Dean Dome the year it opened? I was living in Durham at that time so was able to attend that game (very few SMU people there). UNC beat us easily that ...

This makes the Miami game much more interesting. Beck far better than the stooge that was out for the second half of the pop tarts bowl.

Re: Beat Georgia Tech

This is a must win game vs a team that gave UNC all they could handle at the Dean Dome.

Really need a good bounce back win today.

There was a time when Georgia Tech was a power in the ACC - Coach Bobby Cremins (think Mike Dement Haircut, but white hair), Dennis Scott, Kenny Anderson, John Sally ...
