LOL. We can’t catch a break with the Nashville MSA TV market. We’re going head to head with ESPN and Vandy/Xavier in the NIT same time slot. GO BLUE!
Sweet. This team is pretty good. One game away from the championship. Keep chopping wood!
We are favored by 1. Games basically a coin flip. Our guys will have to play their best game of the tournament to win this one!
Is Fussell hurt? I saw a video of them walking to the arena and he looked to be in a walking boot.
Playing defense as poorly as we've played all year. Not rebounding either. At least we're shooting thees decent.
Need to play better defense the second half or and stop with the careless turnovers or we're done.

No way I could sleep with this game still going. What a comeback thus far. We are playing with great energy and momentum. Keep playing hard!
I still think we need to get something going and get this man a little money. Even if we only raise a few grand that is something in his pocket. Let him know there's more coming maybe we can make it a yearly thing or bi-annual. There has got to be somebody that posts on this board that has a business that could do something with him, and then allow others on the board to somehow donate to the cause.
I would trust somebody to just use their business as the medium for the $ transfer, and then I'll send them $100. I could probably do that a couple times per year and commit to that. I know it's not much but it's what I can spare right now. I'm sure many others could chip in some $$ too, just paypal or Venmo it over, I can even send crypto if needed. If we can get a dozen guys chipping in a couple times a year, we could put a few grand in the pocket of a few basketball players which will make their life a little easier and hopefully make them stick around. Most players at most schools are not pocketing money right now. We could maybe even attract more players if we are known for good sponsorship deals in the community, but the community businesses would have to step up and make that happen.
It makes me sad there are not more businesses in Murfreesboro stepping up and paying our athletes $$$$. I know Sims has a little something going but most players do not. We need to stop being shy about paying these kids, it's legal now. Let's do it. I'm about to just ask him for his cashapp.

Completely different game on the 2nd half. ACU was shooting lights out early
SO DAMN PROUD OF THIS TEAM. I'll give $200 to these kids right now. Let's get a go middle pot together.
Held ACU to 21 points in the 2nd half..one more game to play for this CBI championship..
MT is now tied for most number of wins (21) from last year to this in D1

Awesome turnaround! Guys really turned up the defense in the second half. Only allowed 4 field goals.
That's crazy considering that ACU was shooting lights out in the first half. We not only adjusted, we friggin dominated and turned it up to another level. The Alley Oops, the barage of 3's but the D really confounded them. So impressed by this squad. It was up there on the level with the Giddy and Reggie led teams. ONE MORE! Let's go!!!!
If this team stays together and adds another good piece or two they will easily be favorites in the East next year and depending on scheduling and how the chips fall, possibly push for an NCAA at-large. Jefferson and Sims will be difficult to replace, but we get Jalen Jordan back along with some great returning guards in Weston, Lawrence, Bufford, and King.
I'd like to see Nick sign a guard and a forward/C with the ships we will have available. We need to start preparing for life after Dishman because we'll only have him for 1 more year and none of the big men we have on the current roster have shown the offensive prowess around the rim like Dishman has. Hopefully Fussell and Coleman-Jones can develop that. Having the ability to score inside and outside is what has really opened up the floor for us this year and allowed us to pile on the points. We have to keep that threat around the rim and in the paint or all that goes away.
Also, Eli Lawrence has really proven me wrong. I was not a fan of his game at all in his younger years. He always struck me as a tweener that didn't seem to have a natural position on the court. But he has grown into a man and great ball player since arriving. He has a very smooth stroke from 3 which I hope he continues to work on. Happy to see how much he has developed since arriving.

This is exactly what we need.
There will be a company that comes along and monetizes the entire NIL operation across all NCAA schools and takes a small fee of all donations while funneling the rest to your athlete of choice. Something like a Cameo, but for NCAA athletes.
You start with the big conferences like the SEC, Big 10, ACC....then grow to include all of D1 (and maybe D2 and D3 schools...) and eventually get all of them on board.
Then you retire.

Great idea. This board would be a perfect seed for something like this.
I’m reading a bit on what this entails. Anyone know a lawyer that could answer some front end questions…one that has an expertise in sports management?

This is exactly what WVU did as well with Country Roads Trust. I think I've mentioned it before on here. Several alumni and execs on the board of it. Works with small businesses but also any fan can go and donate anything to it overall directly on the website.
Looks like with Auburn you can too but they have memberships or tiered donations which I'm not sure would work for us. With WVU you can go donate $20 if you want to. I think something along an any amount scenario would work better in our favor.

I almost had a heart attack this morning when I pulled up the CBS Sports App and they still have the score incorrectly reversed. We were up by six when I went to bed before the final buzzer. 😂
