Re: Bracketology

Having a prime time game on the Mother Ship is certainly an advantage for exposure and recruiting purposes. Telling a recruit that you can catch the Jacks on ESPN beats NDSU having a play-in game on TruTV. Now if the Bison win and play the Dukies in prime time, it's a completely different story. But if they lose, a lot of casual fans may not even realize they were in the Big Dance.

Nah that's BS. A play in game in the NCAA tournament that's broadcast solely to the town Nome Alaska on the Opra TV network is still better to tell a recruit than an NIT game on ESPN.

I think you might catch some of the casual sports fans too. They are more likely to stop and watch simply because it is on one of the major ESPN networks. The Longhorn name also helps to stop the channel surfers I'd imagine.

Re: Bracketology

You're getting my hopes up Yote!

Obviously anything can happen, right? Good or bad. I’m saying of both teams play their “normal” game, and you combine that with the fact Texas does not want to be here, I think you have more than a punchers chance to win. Texas is not all that good.

Re: Bracketology

unless Daum is injured or there’s something out there I’m not aware of with your team, I don’t think there’s a prayer in hell that Texas wins by that much. I bet a guy in Florida yesterday $200 on the game and I didn’t take the Horns. I think you’re gonna win this game.

Re: Bracketology

Texas is a 9.5 point favorite, so it would be an upset in that regard. Good post. If you really like the Jacks to win, you can bet on them at nearly 4/1 (+385).

Re: Bracketology

I watch Big 12 basketball 24/7. I have season tickets at Iowa State, that’s how I got to know TJ so well. Your starting 5 is every bit as good as Texas. Daum will be the best player on the floor. Jenkins 2nd best. After that advantage goes to Texas. This game is very winnable if you go in hungry and a chip on your shoulder. Texas doesn’t want to be there. I actually think the arena will be negative energy for the Longhorns. Many fans are done with the Shaka Smart era.

Unless your guys go in not caring ( which I don’t see ) I think you pull off the upset. I’m not even certain it’s an upset. TJ is very familiar with Texas and will have additional access of tendencies from the Cyclone office. I’ll call it 86-82 Jacks

Re: Bracketology

I only worry when courts have NBA line because they like to show off to much.

You may need to cover your eyes often next year. I think between Caleb and DJJ, we are going to see a lot of shots from beyond the college 3-pt line.

Playing Texas is a big deal if for no other reason that it may open up the eyes of some kids that normally wouldn't get to see the team play.

Re: Bracketology

I would bet you won’t see much of a difference. I would guess if you go back and look at where we shot most of it threes this year most of them came from a foot or more behind the line. So moving it back won’t change those threes at all.
