The coach we should have hired...
Anyone see what Murray State is up to?
Eh, Murray State is a big time school with fans that expect success. We will never be at their level.
4 more years!
I get that our SID is in the PR business, but our fans aren't dumb. This is a good example of not knowing when to let it go and just be quiet. This lame PR attempt trying to sell another disappointing season as an unprecedented success accomplished the exact opposite of what they intended. Classic responses to this BS on social media.
Wichita St. made the final four of the NIT. Playing Lipscomb right now on ESPN.
Texas Tech made the Final Four for the Big Dance. Playing Michigan State Saturday, 04/06, at ~ 8:00 P.M.
I remember when Texas Tech came to Ruston and played us OOC in the TAC. Best I remember, the Kilgore Rangerettes performed at halftime.
Used to be worthwhile to drive to Ruston and watch Bulldog basketball. Gotta really love you some swac ball if you want to do that now.
That's one of 3 P5 schools that have been to the TAC in the last 30 years and all were in the 1990's if my memory serves me correctly
Okie St with Big Country
Bobby Knight and TTech
Vandy in the 2nd round of the NIT
That's it...
So let's not act like getting BIG teams to Ruston is something that used to occur on a regular basis
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
Not defending them -
Just saying let's not pretend we have EVER had quality opponents in Ruston - regardless of the coach
Mike White had some of the easiest schedules there were in OOC play
Like I said - it's been since the 90's since we have had a NAME ooc opponent in the TAC - unless you count SIU and a few of the others
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
You are correct on that one for some reason I thought the year was 99-
Knight was a fulfilling a recruiting promise to Jay Jackson...
We have never had an issue with our regional OOC games away (usually play 2 a year, sometimes 3)
But the fact remains - our schedules have not changed much at all since I began following Tech basketball along time ago
In fact an argument can be made that they are somewhat better NOW than they were in the past
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
Here was our home OOC schedule the last time we made the NCAA in 1990-1991
Tulsa
NLU
UALR
Centenary
That's it
