  1. Oh wow... the thought of that never crossed my mind. I think what happened during this three game win streak is that Shaka finally decided he does give a damn about his future. He finally decided to give it his best effort instead of dogging it. I think we will see how committed he is during the remaining games. We can easily lose 3 in a row, lose conf. tourney game, and go to the NIT. no more talk of CBI from me, and barring a 5 game losing streak, he’s coming back, IMO. Cdc can now go back to what he is comfortable doing, tweeting and not removing coaches. I suppose if wvu loses out this victory is a little tainted, but what are the chances of that?
  2. Just read the wiki page on Texas basketball. All I knew growing up in Austin area was Black was a bad coach, and assumed the horns were always an inferior team...definitely not the case. Assuming this is smarts last year, his winning % in conference will be down there with weltlich. 22 losses in a year is bobs record along with Shaka. This years projected 15 losses is among the top 20 years in losses. Meanwhile, we will, oops might finish in the top 10................ .............in the state....I counted 21 Texas teams in kenpom, and it looks like we will be fighting with Texas state for 8th or 9th.
  3. I am thinking win 1 and lose 3, then lose opener of conference tourney. That should put us out of NIT, down the level of CBI, where we get the uncomfortable position, question do w pay 50,000 to extend our season, lose money on more home games, and delay our coaching search?
  4. Mercy! We were 2 and 2 against teams....nonconference... that are now in kenpom top 100. Beat Purdue and northern Colorado, lost to georgetown and providence. Replace the remaining 8 nonconference teams with top 100 teams, we might have won 2 or 3. Our record now would be around 11 and 16. Don’t we want our record to be authentic?
  5. Crazy idea after watching parts of Almost unwatchable victory over kstate...last part of the game. Guessing Shaka has a good reputation in coaching world, but the only reason our record will be slightly better than .500 is the easy non conference schedule. Cdc could change the nonconference schedule...justification is that team needs to be ready for tough big 12 play..every nonconference team will be rated top 100 or 150 or better... cdc presents new schedule to Shaka and Shaka realizes he might win 10 to 12 games, and his reputation would suffer... Or he could resign at that time, and salvage some of his reputation. So, how crazy is this idea? Is a nonconference schedule with top 150 or top 100 opponents too difficult? Attendance would not be an issue, because the following year the new gym will open, along with a new coach to go with it. Everybody in the Austin area will want to say they’ve been in the new gym. Sellouts almost every game.
  6. Ramey on fire!
  7. 4 turnovers in a row and the lead drops 2. They’re done.
  8. Hard to believe, but I think state is out of this..
  9. It’s not gonna be easy to blow a 15 point lead, especially to a team that has won only 9 games all season.
  10. We used up our threes the other day. Under,over on threes is 28%, and I say take the under. This should be ugly.
  11. ...and great names like Panama and Locksley.
  12. We moved up! ...to 80 in Kenpom, just in front of SMU. Five losses in a row to end the season, plus a loss in the conference tourney puts us at about #150, I would think. Would we be on the bubble for the NIT? I think so. CBI, I think they might invite us. 1-9 over the last 10 games. Wow!
  13. Now, we’re getting somewhere. Ad revenue will plummet, because what company will want to spin their wheels offering stuff, if they know there will be possibly 2000 fans in attendance. The financial equation becomes worse every day for bringing him back.
  14. These are weltlich era numbers. We are approaching the basement, at least with attendance.
  15. but seriously if you do not count people who are part of the game production, It looks like there might be 400 or 500 fans at the game, based on the pictures. Don't count the band, and anybody who is working. That is obviously a money loser for every game that would happen. If you project that kind of crowd over the next year, CDC might realize that the athletic program is better off to fire him at the end of this season vs. waiting until the end of next season. It is all about the money, some of us claim, and the money almost certainly says fire him this year, as opposed to next year.
  16. shooters are due. I will give you an over/under- % of made threes - 28%, leaning to the over.
  17. Kenpom has us #83. We dove below SMU and North Texas far faster than I imagined. I counted 19 so called major conference teams below us. 9 of them are between 83 and 100. Even if we beat TCU and then lose out, we could easily slip below #100. Texas State is #100. Think about that for a moment. Hey at least we're not down there with the Ags, at #170! As bad as we are even this Texas team will not be the worst major team in Texas. That honor will go to Aggy. Hey, so we won't quite make the top 100 this year. Ummmmm, give Shaka a little bit more time? HA!!!!!
  18. aha! I have figured it out. CDC didn't say top 10. It was a typo. He requires top 100. The reporters simply missed the additional 0. We are #83 right now, and on a pace to possibly hit the top 100! All depends upon how well we shoot threes against the mighty horned frogs. If we lose to TCU, we might lose out and end up more like #120, I think.
  19. so, the money is $10 million starting at the end of this season, correct? Then I am guessing at the end of next season it is $7.7 million?
  20. From someone who never watches basketball until January, how in the world did this team win 14 games?
  21. Before today’s game we were at 72 on kenpom. If we finish higher than about 90, do we even get a NIT invite? so we would go CBI? Is that the one that charges a fee? Decline invitation, or make Shaka pay it.
  22. Game.set.match
  23. Is there any chance he decides he wants to coach somewhere else? I mean, he has got to feel something when he sees opposing fans take over his home court? Or not.
  24. Just looked at kenpom numbers. He has us at 68. Looked for other Texas teams close...SMU and North Texas are sitting 7 spots below us, will we stay above north Texas? Will we even host an NIT game?
  25. Agree with this, and am now thinking where is pressure coming from to fire Shaka? Cdc can sit back and wait until pressure is great enough for him to say to bmds okay, you want him gone, give me money for buyout. I used to think new arena was deadline, but the new arena will sell out the first year, regardless of who the coach is. my revised deadline is end of first year in new arena. Buyout will be low then.
