Johnny trying to keep that win total high.

None of those will help us make the tourney.

And more terrible RPI. And probably some unexpected losses. Yay.

Johnny can get fat on shite teams just like he did at North Texas......if you think some of the teams on our schedule are bad, you should go back and see some of the non-conference trash he played while there. I know way too much about collegiate sports, but there were schools he had played while there even I haven't heard of.

Being in the Battle for Atlantis is great, but I really don't understand why we continue to schedule swac and meac teams. Teams like north carolina central destroy your strength of schedule. Whatever assistant AD is in charge of this must be incredibly lazy,

KenPom to end last year:

Wofford 185
Southern Miss 307
North Florida 189
Houston 64
NC Central 196
Texas Southern 173
Charleston 120
Wake Forest 125
Texas Tech 52


Honestly that isnt bad. It's really important to not get those sub 300 teams... We normally have a ton.

This schedule is probably better than last year's on an RPI basis.

CRAP! I should have renewed my season tickets. I'll never be able to make it into those OOC home games

Another typical shite OOC schedule from JJ. The only decent OOC games since he's been here have been tournaments and the big12 challenge he does nothing to get asses in the seats. I've had season tickets the last 3-4 years and didn't renew this year. His teacher daddy Dale always brought in big time matchups. Obviously every OOC game isn't going to be against top-25 teams but at a minimum we should have one home game a year against a tournament level team and one on the road as well. The Duke's, UNC's, Arizona's, etc of college basketball probably won't come here but that tier under the blue bloods you could find a couple a year to schedule. You have to generate excitement for your fans at this school to get them in the PMAC. There's not a single game on that schedule that people will say it's a must attend.

shitty wins may prop up our win total, but they don't help us make the tournament.

Is anyone thinking LSU is a NCAA tournament team this year? I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see this.

I think they can be a 12ish seed. Really need a great season out of Victor though. I feel very good about our guards. Lots of questions down low.

I believe they will play better team ball this year. Less selfish. More passing and creating better opportunities for each other.
