Every win is a good win, missing a couple of previous starters. I do have to gripe for a minute over the ESPN+ broadcast. The audio was crappy as usual, no time graphic on the screen was a bummer. Sure, at 6 or 7 dollars a month, it's a low cost option to see lots of games. But it should still have better production value. Am I being too picky here? And don't give me any of that "get off my lawn!" BS. That was already worn out ad nauseum in the gangsta rap thread.

Graphics were also missing team fouls, which I missed more than the time.

Called Carter's number repeatedly in first minutes to go at Reece, second on team in pts (11.7), rebounds (6.1), 3pt% (42.9) and first in fg% (55.7), knowing that he would be pulled with 2 fouls. First foul about a minute and a half into game, second foul a little over two minutes into game and he sits for the rest of the half. Picked up his third 10 seconds into second half. Game stats: 7 minutes, 3 points, 2 boards, 5 fouls. We outrebounded them by 10. Game plan, and execution, are especially key with reduced roster. This team wins a lot of different ways.

The Bobcats seemed to have more offense when Reece was actually on the floor--seems like they went stale when he sat just when they should have started blowing it open. Wasn't he the one who tried a coast to coast slam only to miss and hurt himself?

Wasn't he the one who tried a coast to coast slam only to miss and hurt himself? I believe he was the player that tried to dunk but injured himself. Didn't look very good at first but he seemed alright after. I also agree, Carter did an amazing job guarding Reece and shut him down pretty much the whole game.

For what it's worth, my wife and weren't able to go to the women's game today, and settled for watching most of it on the ESPN3 (via ESPN+). There was no shot clock graphic, which was irritating.

OU lists their institutional support dollars as revenue, BG audits all of their's as non-sport specific, but actual revenue, BG is a couple hundred thousand higher. * BG shows more revenue even though they're clearly cooking the books by realizing $0 in basketball revenue from concessions, parking, etc. There's our answer why you can NOT go to the University and purchase a parking pass any longer. That money has to get funneled through the Falcon club and they give you a "Free" parking pass. This is why, so they can take money away from basketball since the Frack money largely finances the program. * BG gives up, by comparison, $100k in revenue by NOT being willing to play better opponents on the road. * This is basically offset by spending less on guarantees because we're not willing to play better opponents at home either * We spent 3x what OU spent on "Equipment", more on travel (to play lesser competition), and more on recruiting than they did (although this year is less than the year guest posted). * This is the big one. We spend almost the exact same on Coaching and support staff salaries as OU. We spend plenty to get upper echelon coaching by MAC standards. And we don't get that Return on our Investment.

This is not a complaint about reporting tickets sold vs butts in seats; that's pretty standard. After finally seeing some pics of the student side, I can say with great confidence that the real number was more like 3500-4000 tops. Other than the student section, the 100 level was very sparsely populated. You understand there are only 3000 seats below the ring and 10000 above? The 100 level was maybe 1/3 full. Lets be generous and say there were 2000 below the ring due to the full student sections and two band sections... It was not even close to another 4800 above. by our new standard, which is very low, it was a nice turnout for a tuesday, and a great turnout by MAC tuesday standards. Not arguing that at all. But if there were 6800 in house, I will eat my hat.
