Re: Should Tulane care about basketball?

It's basketball; there's huge numbers of schools that are decent to good and not P2/4/5/whatever. Our schedule can definitely be upgraded without adding anyone from a "power" conference (who I agree are rather harder to get).

Clemson has also now sued the ACC it appears. They've sued to get a declaratory judgment to clarify the contract. Here's a really simplified synopsis of their filing by a fellow Greenie: https://twitter.com/tulanetalk/status/1770123969154146370?t=zjnwOERIFgycP5Sj_ueYWQ&s=19 ESPN's spin: https:/...

Re: Point of order... the season is over ....Hunter should be fired

I know a lot of people are asking "why hasn't it been done, already?" My HOPE is that because Harris would like to mid major coach shop by watching the first round of the tournament. I don't think firing Hunter would prevent in any way Harris shopping for mid major coaches. I agree with t...

Re: Point of order... the season is over ....Hunter should be fired

One can hope that Coach Stockton’s retirement means that our AD is having hard conversations with underachievers from last season and we get some news about Hunter soon. Purely hope on my part, no inside info, but the idea of retaining him is disgusting and definitive proof that we are not committed...

Re: Point of order... the season is over ....Hunter should be fired

I certainly think that the program can use a change, but have been assuming that its not happening this year. If and when we make a change, I assume that money will help us to get a new coach since we can pay a lot more than most of the mid-majors, but we will have to fight perception that you can'...

As GSx said, it's a false equivalency that I, for one, am sick and tired of hearing. IT IS NOT EITHER/OR. While football is clearly first in priority--as it should be--that doesn't mean you utterly neglect every other sport. Sad as it is that it was so long ago and so few remember it, basketball was...

Ironically, the rain has now cleared out and should stay that way until fairly late tonight. They'ld have had fewer weather issues playing as scheduled.

No questioning Tulane’s effort. They were simply outplayed and outcoached tonight. Props especially to James with 28 points and no turnovers. I will miss him.

Re: Darnell gets PAAAID!

It's a better situation than it would have been last year, assuming Cousins can stay healthy (admittedly, a bold assumption given his age). Happy for him, although obviously can't root for the Falcons. May they lose every game 38-35.

Re: Men’s and Women’s hoops tanking

Harris has some big moves that need to happen. Replacing coaches in at least three of your four most prominent sports is a lot, but it needs to happen. This is not ok, on any level, particularly since we haven't sniffed a NCAA bid in hoops of either gender in waaaaay too long.
