TXST vs SunBelt 2022-23
- Thread starter LTK5H
- Start date
Yeah, not asking to get up to A10, WCC, or especially Big East range anytime soon. But it'd be nice to leapfrog conferences like the WAC and CUSA, who are 11th and 12th right now compared to our 14th right now in conference NET rating (CUSA arguably is worse than the SBC, but FAU is having an insane season and really helping that league a ton this year).
The switch to NET doesn't help us either, Southern Miss (league leader) currently has a 32 RPI and 59 NET rating. They look like an at-large team if RPI is the main factor but not with NET being more heavily weighted now. Also, Louisiana 41st RPI, 85th NET.
Unfortunately I think that switch to NET a few years back just furthers the issue of the number of conferences getting multi-bids diminishing.
Those are two conferences being hit by realignment, so we’ll see how things settle.
Come on make a game winner
Kind of got bailed out. What we ran was headed in the wrong direction but got fouled. Jordan Mason on the line with 4.4 seconds left down 1
Made one of two. Tied. ODU with 4.8 seconds to win
And they made it at the buzzer. Somehow never stopped the ball and he had a lay in to win
Never did the entire game. They killed us with their guards getting to the rim and scoring.

That was matador defense on the last drive to the basket. Just a shameful way to lose considering the strong comeback. TJ is phoning it in now that he's been extended. He's like the coach for the Washington Generals going through the motions waiting for the Globetrotters to clown his team at the end of the game.

Wait.....these same Aggies that have 12 trips since our last (and only I believe) trip? If that's the case sign TJ up to play whatever brand of basketball NMSU plays, please.
Yea, why are they hazing out there.

We allowed Coach Z the better part of the decade to “figure things out”and although still early I guess she did so I Guess Terrence will be allowed the same luxury despite what more than 5X her price tag?
Tough loss on the road. 12 - 16 overall, 5 - 10 in conference play

This team seems to get worse as the season goes on. They had ugly loses all season but the wins looked like flashes of the team from the last few years. But now it is like they gave up. I used to think if they got healthy and shots hit, they could play spoilers in the postseason but now they are just bad.

I'm not certain how bad the team is, but the coach sure sucks. TJ's got his money now and will just sit on his lazy ass until he's fired once his contract runs out. He can't recruit, can't manage the portal, and can't make game day adjustments. In other words, he's absolutely the perfect coach for Texas State basketball.

I don't know about that. Wasn't this recruiting class hailed by many on here. Sykes was exciting. He did recruit that other kid that switched to a Mississippi P5 program and is good there. The Florida transfers seem meh though.
You keep calling him lazy without providing evidence. Maybe he is but that is a big claim to make without support.
