I'll be posting notes here about MT and CUSA as I read through the College Basketball Almanac. This almanac is an 814 page preview for the 2022-2023 college basketball season.


To say there is a lot of info would be an understatement. It's available for $19.99 if you want a copy. Well worth it IMO. Especially if you plan to bet the upcoming season. Can't wait for Monday.

THE ALMANAC: The Year of the Big; A 2022-23 College Basketball Preview Digital Magazine


For CUSA:

1. Can the league get an at-large bid? C-USA boasts top-shelf contenders and tremendous depth.

2. C-USA has just one new coach: Louisiana Tech’s Talvin Hester. How will he fare in his initial campaign?

3. The sport’s tallest player and best shot-blocker resides here. You’ll want to watch WKU’s Jamarion Sharp play.

4. Florida Atlantic has a chance at the program’s best season ever. How high can these Owls fly?

5. Both UAB and North Texas feature incredible scoring guards: the Blazers’ Jelly Walker and the Mean Green’s Tylor Perry

They have MT projected 5th. Weston makes 2nd team as a guard for us but that's it.

T Lenard voted breakout player of the year.

I'll tag @OliverLBaltz in here if you guys have any questions regarding this year's squad. What are your thoughts and expectations on the team? Thoughts on conference and OOC slate? What's the floor for this team and what's the ceiling?

Writers calling for advertisers to pull their advertisements until Ferentz fires his son, who is the OC. Kirk Ferentz, the Iowa head coach, is contracted with the university through 2029. Hmm.

Brutal article below regarding Iowa football and it's offense.

GoMiddle Community,

We are planning on doing a monthly Q & A with Deputy AD Lee De Leon. The hope for this Q & A is to build a meaningful opportunity for Lee to engage the MT community.


Right now, the first monthly Q & A will be free to read. After that, who knows?

So, if you have a question for Lee, now is your chance. Post them in this thread and I’ll pass them on to Lee.

CRI revealed a little early preseason selection. MT #1

MT Athletics just announced a new fundraising record today : $8.9 million. This is up 300% over previous record.

This is cash-in-hand. Not pledges. Cash.

This doesn't count any CUSA buyout money that may have found its way to MT during last fiscal year.

Read about it here.

I have a special piece coming as soon as I can get to a faster video connection.
