And it kept them from having a 20-win season. Poor things.

I think it's ridiculous.

It's dumb. GCU marketing has been calling it Lopes Vegas which is also dumb. How about they all knock it off.

It's being reported that ACU's women's team will not participate in any postseason tournament due to "players' exhaustion".

If it's something like the CIT or CBI and whatever else we have now...that's not an uncommon thought.

I don't disagree, but there's a lot of reasons why teams (both Men's and Women's) turn down invites to those 3rd and 4th tier tournaments.

I would be pretty surprised to see our Men take an invite to any of them, unless we are guaranteed a home game.

Yep. We'll get an invite but I would be mildly surprised if we go too. Sam did about 3 years ago and made a final. I wish we could do that. But then again, there was that Idaho game…

I imagine we get a home game. The WAC is significantly more attractive than the SLC. Actually would be fun to face off against a SE Louisiana?

ACU vs NMSU for the men's final.

I don't think ACU will have the legs, but we'll see*.

*I'll see Sunday morning bc I ain't staying up that late.

Yeah, that Idaho game in a little practice gym was a real bummer.

Happy for Coach Tanner. He's 3-0 in postseason play and running a good program.

Despite most people saying that UCONN is a flawed team, I have seen no one pick NMSU as a 5/12 upset. Every other 12 seed yes, the Aggies no. I guess being winless in your last 10 appearances has something to do with it.

I have to admit I laughed out loud when I read this, mostly because I know if you posted that on the WAC BBS board, some of those people's heads would explode. LOL

They're over there swearing right now that the 12 seed is bc of their OOC alone & that no other WAC team would get a 12. Ya I'm sure adding SFA & ACU, who've both won games in these athlete's lifetimes, had nothing to do with it.

Densest fanbase in the WAC.

I read that idiot say no other WAC team would get a 12. Those guys think they are the only ones who can ball. It's laughable.

New Mexico State will no renew the contract of WBB Head Coach Brooke Atkinson. Finishing near the basement of the WAC and losing in the 1st round of the WAC tournament as a 10th seed will do that to a coach.

New Mexico (yes the New Mexico we beat in Katy) just cleaned Grand Canyon's clock in the WNIT.

CBU women lose at home to San Diego 76-67.

WAC WBB is several steps behind WAC MBB. Meaningful upgrade from the SLC, but not where we want it to be.

Anyone think NMSU makes the Sweet 16? I really expected Vermont to top Arkansas but the Razorbacks edged it out.

NMSU goes as Teddy goes. If he plays well they can definitely beat Arkansas.

Would not mind some more units for the WAC to split. Right now we'll be at about 45k per team for the next 6 years. Each additional win is worth about 23k per team.

And WBB gets nothing. Ridiculous.

Yup.

Need big reforms on the women's side bc that one should atleast clear some money.

And I bet sponsors would throw in cash for women's teams at the least.

Those powerhouse MBB programs at Lamar, UTRGV, and UIW will really appreciate that.

Fardaws Aimaq entered the portal today. Can definitely pick where he wants to play more than likely.

ACU is probably going to win the CBI. They look like they want it. Good for them.
