Do it.

Play in Atlanta during December.

Barkley said he was calling Pearl and Cohen .

Is the Hoopsgiving already set for 2026?

I'd prefer quality mid-majors over the likes of Arizona, Michigan, and Purdue until we prove to have a top-tier coach again.

If you’re scared say you’re scared.

I like tough schedules. My issue is punished for tough schedules. We could easily rack up 20 wins each year playing cream puffs.

Take Texas as an example, they played an easier schedule, had more wins than us. We beat them head to head, we had a higher NET ranking, yet because of losses they put them in the tournament and now they are in the sweet 16.

I agree with Corch but the problem if we had won 3 more OOC games this year we still would've had a losing sec record. So instead talking heads and committed would've left us out "because we had a losing conf record".

High Point has one of the highest NILs of the mid majors.

I’m advocating scheduling High Point.

I’m ok either way.

I like a good schedule with a mix of P4 and good mid majors.

A buddy picked High Point to reach Sweet 16.

Apparently High Point wants people to know they are willing to pay.

I guess they want to be the new Liberty.
