Exactly and that success back then certainly has nothing to do with where those programs are today. In those cases, success didn't breed success.Quote:

NMSU obviously puts more effort into MBB than football, and nobody in the conference goes after them. If you're a basketball fan there, it's nice being in the discussion almost every year come tournament time. But football bowl games for NMSU, just made their 4th bowl appearance, first since 1960 happened this fall. Beat Utah State both times. 59 years.
Want to swap? I agree our ROI isn't good on either hoops team, but who threw the money out there? Cannot blame Broadhead or Marlin for taking it.
If anyone should be complaining about their MBB program and consistent winners of the SBC, it's LR and UTA. Basketball should be king on campus every year.
Chris Jans the coach at nmsu is 1 of the best coaches in the country. If he doesn't get wasted his first year at Bowling Green he is probably at a p5 right now. Some in Wichita believe he was largely responsible for some of the success Wichita state had under Gregg Marshall. The program under Marlin has gotten stale . Defense is mediocre and the offense has too many shot hunters. There is a lack of team ball for the last few years. There is some talent but not much winning basketball.
I would say those are valid points the last two years. However the 2017-18 played a brand of basketball that was very "team" oriented. Probably because it had outstanding leadership.Quote:

Wilson has “it”...sees and understands as the game unfold. He’s coachable (he quit dribbling into the traps). Saw flashes of “it” in Kobe. It just comes down if others come along as a unit.Quote:

Guys, let’s all be honest...if we were in New Mexico States shoes, we’d want that coach ran after not winning a big game in the Dance! Lol
Agreed. We just need to keep Marlin and work through it.Quote:
