Because they lost to the National Champion in a game that the Aztecs probably would have won if Kawhi didn't get a technical foul for "mouthing off". I still think Fisher should have played him for the rest of the 1st half with 2 fouls. The Aztecs were on a roll and Kawhi was playing great. Kawhi was very good at not fouling. UCONN had no one that could defend him. Most other top 5 teams would have lost to UCONN too.

No redshirts. That never seems to work out well for basketball. It was a very good thing that Franklin decided not to redshirt. "Refuse" is too strong a word. If McDaniels didn't redshirt maybe he would have been MWCPOY last season, like Franklin after playing in his first season instead of sitting.

Aztecs get verbal from DB with offers from the biggies of the big 10. https://247sports.com/Player/Brandon-Shivers-46041560 He had a visit to Michigan State last weekend.

5 Freshmen 3 Sophomores 1 Junior 2 Seniors Can the Aztecs compete with that class mix?

Aztecs 3-0 in the tournament - Nevada 0-2. Added to the regular season, that gives the Aztecs the better overall mwc record. Aztecs will go to THE tournament. Can't agree with which is more important.

Maybe seed via computer rankings. Or seed via average winning percentage against each division. (W% v upper + W% v lower)/2

You got a lot of confidence playing the Aztecs when injuries reduced the effectiveness of our offensive line for a few games. I really hope all of our freshmen on the offensive line from last year will, as sophomores, be able to pass protect better. They really sucked last season. That is why we had problems passing not the quarterback and not the wide receivers.

If by "decent talent" you mean "draftable", then I agree.

The MWC needs to get creative to compete with the big (ger) boys. One way to do that is with the schedule. I propose the schedule below with 12 basketball teams. Have 2 divisions but instead of having static divisions, divide teams into an upper and lower division. Play 16 games with each team playing a home and home with teams in their division and 1 game against each team in the other division, for 16 games. This method of scheduling would provide the top 6 teams with a massive improvement in their SOS, during conference games. The method of dividing the teams can be determined. I would suggest asking each team if they would like to (deserve to) play in the upper division. Any number other than 6 from that process can be adjusted by the media poll or last season's standings. This method of scheduling also gives the conference 30 games between the top 6 team. That's much more than using "normal" scheduling. It is much more appealing for TV contracts.

I love Viejas Arena. I am a big fan of single level steep arenas. It allows 12K+ while still having the small arena feel. Viejas takes advantage of San Diego weather by having all the restrooms/concessions outside of the arena. That helps keep things intimate. Now we just have to figure out how to beat Fresno State there. Last 2 seasons 0-2 at home against FSU even though we were 2-1 in other venues.

All teams should get 25% of what they earn.

That would be great.

Who is in favor of giving teams that earn NCAA credits a higher percentage than an even split. Maybe 30% to team that earned it, with the rest split? That may be the price of getting Gonzaga.
