Basketball season starts tonight.

#14 TCU 73 Arkansas Pine Bluff 72
Sam Houston 52 Oklahoma 51

It’s game #1. Let’s see how 9 new players + 3 injured guys from last season that didn’t play yesterday do over the course of the season. Moving to the Big 12 in every sport is going to have growing pains. Mens bbal even more because right now it is a top 3 conference, and other than 1 or 2 seasons, we’ve never played at a consistently high level.
Thank you for making my point!

Watching Coppin State vs Georgetown. Georgetown has 9 new players. Established tradition. Established coach. Patrick Ewing is in his 6th season as head coach. He’s also establishing them getting worse each season he is coach. They were 6-25 last season. Ouch. Just pointing out this is college basketball for most programs for the foreseeable future….managing roster turnover.

Great players almost never make great coaches. The sport doesn't matter. He would have been gone a long time ago had he not been a great Georgetown player. It's sthe same in football, baseball, soccer, etc. Dawkins, great player, terrible coach. The qualifications are not interchangeable.

That's good news so the B12 teams should all struggle with that and UCF will be highly competitive for winning the conference just like in the AAC.
 
Steve Spurrier?
Tommy Lasorda
Chuck Tanner
Jim Leyland
Chuck Noll
Ken hitchock (hockey, used to live near Philly)
Rafa Benitez (silly sport of soccer)
Tony La Russa
Bobby Cox
Pat Riley (not a BB fan but even I know him)
Bill Belichick (questionable I guess)
 
The Kenny Payne era began at Loserville tonight….by losing to Bellarmine…just saying.
 
If Dawkins can't recruit good players that means players don't have confidence in him as a coach. He had plenty of time to build a top program and failed. If we can't win in the AAC we will get destroyed in the Big12.
 
We'll see if he can finish in the AAC strong.

Last three seasons 24-30 in AAC, Overall 45-38. Coincidently that marks when all of Donnie Jones recruits were gone, led by Tacko and BJ Taylor.

If 2018 season never happened, Dawkins AAC record would be below .500.
 
Terry Mo was on 365 Sports last week talking about our entrance into the Big12. He made a jab at men's sports and said we've got some improving to do there. I thought it was interesting.
 
I watched the first 2 games and so far I‘m very impressed with what I see on the court. A lot of the rookie mistakes but the overall raw talent seems to be very evident in this young team.
A heartbreaking double OT season-opening loss against a very good UNC Ashville team has been offset by tonight’s dominating win vs FSU and our defector, Darin Green Jr.
My expectations for this season are much higher than before.

FSU is terrible in their current state. Stetson beat them on pure luck shooting, nothing more. This win is nothing to get excited about
