I thought Norm did a good job with his questions and letting Aresco go when he starting rolling.

I thought Norm did a good job with his questions and letting Aresco go when he starting rolling.

...and roll he did! I thought Aresco was great, covered damn near everything.

Great interview, thank you Norm!

[LA_Mustang]

Boy, he did. He covered A LOT in a short time. He was prepared and knew what he wanted to say.

Thanks for posting and glad it sounded like Aresco hit it out of the park. Hit all the talking points. Was he asked about representation on the committee? That's the bottom line and hit this nail on the head: "statistics can be used in any way".

[Bergermeister]

Heard the whole thing. Glad Norm did this. Great job.

The story is still out there at least on local Dallas radio. Ian Fitzsimmons railed on the decision today -- and had a ton to say about Moody Magic this year and what an unbelievable year we've had and future we have.

And it has been out there on a national scale over the past 2 days. If anybody didn't know who we are they do now.

To that point, the guy who installed the TV in our conference room yesterday and I got to talking about the tourney (He's a Wisconsin guy) and when I mentioned SMU he said "Oh yeah, I haven't seen you play or anything, but all I keep hearing is that you were completely robbed. You guys were ranked 25th right? That's some messed up [deleted]. Where's SMU?"

Me - "We're in Dallas. Yeah, we were 25th in AP and 23rd in the coaches poll. We beat 4 top 25 teams, including UConn twice, and we steamrolled Memphis and Cincy and only lost to UVA by 3, and were 23-9".

TV guy - "Are you [deleted] me? That's ridiculous. How do you beat those teams, especially at UConn, be ranked and not get in. And NC State got in? They suck. And how is BYU a 10 seed? I laughed at that one. Politics man. That sucks"

Dude had no idea who we were or where our school is, but all he kept hearing was we were robbed. That should tell you something.
