That will be huge if UTA can keep it within 20. Now, I don't want anyone thinking I am for moral victories. UTA was the 7th seed in the SLC, remember this isn't SFA but they would not have played Memphis off the bat because they would have been a 13 seed.

Good luck Mavericks!

Nothing to be embarrassed about there. But, Coach Calipari will probably be upset and giving the Tigers a ear full during the halftime break.

Just when I think I have cured you from your pipedreams, you regress once again into your old ways. You still haven't accepted the reality of the Soutland Conf. Players in the Southland play for 4 years and players at schools like Memphis play for a year and then go pro ( NBA, EPB, etc.) There are no moral victories when you lose. A lost is a lost.

I don't think I was addressing a man with all the basketball anwsers with my post. I was simply stating if the SLC just sent their regular season conference champion SFA would not have been a 16 seed thus they would not have played Memphis in the first round.

"Players at Memphis play for a year then go pro", you might share that with Andre Allen, Antonio Anderson, Joey Dorsey, Chris Douglas-Roberts and Robert Dozier. They did not seem to get the message.

My point was you go to schools like Memphis for the exposure with hopes that one can sustain their playing career past college, unlike a Southland school where the playing level is not as high.

My point is if you are good enough the scouts will find you. See Joe Dumars, Karl Malone, Andrew Toney, Scottie Pippen, the guy in the NBA from UTSA, the guy from McNeese and the guy from Texas State. Forgive me, I'm not a huge NBA fan.

If I cared enough I'd look up all the guys to play in the NBA from SLC schools. I don't.

The guys you are mentioning just happened to have an ability to play at the next level LATER ON in their college careers and took advantage of their talents. You go to the Big 12, SEC, etc to be seen/exposed. Dumars was happy just to get a scholarship to play. Those guys developed in college and that made them the players they became.

Wrong again, Karl Malone turned down a scholarship to LSU to attend La Tech. Maybe, you should read a little about someone before talking about them.

Karl Malone was slighted by LSU when he was coming out of high school. Now you're beginning to step into places you know nothing about. Welcome to my home turf. Malone wasn't well known outside of his hometown.

Okay, I'll find the article if I can (a number of years old) which told why he went with La Tech. One thing I don't do is make a statement that I don't already know the answer to.

That was a small town you are saying one of the 50 greatest basketball players in history wasn't known outside of.

I've read a lot about Karl Malone. Trivia question which college team was La Tech playing when Karl Malone broke the nose of one of his opponents with an elbow after grabbing a rebound?

Come on Blue, remember I'm on your turf. This isn't a hard question if you followed Karl Malone. He might have attended La Tech but I have nothing but respect for that man.

Okay, a hint. It is a college in Texas.

Okay give us a harder question. You are always trying to give LU props on everything ::)

You said I was wrong about Karl Malone, how is that attempting to give props to Lamar? If that is your answer you are very wrong.

The answer is not Lamar, think again.

BTW, I'm the moderator for this site. Wouldn't you think I would be bias toward the university?

Right, it was a player from Rice and the dude needed reconstructive surgery. Nice guy off the court but a beast on it. I knew you could do it......

Once fined by the NBA for thowing an elbow at David Robinson of the San Antonio Spurs. Now, he was 6-6 in HS and grew 6 inches while in the Navy so he would be one to fit your earlier statement.  8)

      Barbers Hill (28) vs La Porte (55) - FINAL

      By Separation Scientist · Posted

      That should tell everyone something pretty clearly. Does anyone really think BH is recruiting elementary kids, to get them to transfer in Jr. high? Seriously? Here is the "dirty little secret" about BH: Most people move to the district for a quality living environment to raise their young family, and benefit from the outstanding acedemics at BH. Even If all athlectics suddenly disappeared from BH, people would still want their kids in the district. If thats not enough to convince anyone, and BH really was determined to recruit, first step would be to have open enrollemnt. It is closed.        Yes, I get it, no one ever wants to give BH the benefit of the doubt on anything. Some of the accusations are beyond ridiculous though. This paranoia the BH critics are afflicted with is not just sad, its flat out laughable.

      Opting is always an option. Are they considering any BC assistants? Highly qualified after that season they put up.

      Waco La Vega (42) vs West Orange-Stark (20) - FINAL

      Be that as it may, only time will tell. Hide and watch. Don’t be surprised if the next HC hire uses his own recipe. That happens more than not historically. I am not arguing the point that Hooks & CT had a winning combination that could’ve been carried over. I’m saying that finding someone to do that is not going to be as easy as one might think. Tell me again why Saban’s replacement, who even has Saban’s assistance if he wants it, just lost another game to an unranked team and has taken the Tide out of playoff contention? Why wouldn’t he just follow the success of possibly the greatest college football coach ever lived?

      We've acknowledged having 2 HOF coaches hasn't been like most other schools. So why everyone jumps to the conclusion it wouldn't work here is beyond my comprehension. I see it carry over with these other hires. Gilmer, Aledo, North Shore, Austin Westlake. Next man up that continues the system in place has instant success. Matter fact there was 2 rookie HC that won the state championship the same year we handed over the keys. Same book. Same recipe. Better ingredients.
