Evan and I will be doing a podcast interview with RV tomorrow and we need your questions! Our format is simple, we will be taking all of the best questions posted here in this thread and getting RV to answer them in the podcast. Obviously, realignment is a hot button but there are a lot of interesting UNT Athletics related topics to discuss and we appreciate your help in covering them!

EDIT: Please use your +1 buttons to help us identify the questions you are most interested in. That will help us narrow down the choices.

Go Mean Green!

LITTLE ROCK - North Texas (16-12, 9-6 SBC) made all five of its field goal attempts and went 6-of-7 at the foul line in overtime to hand the UALR men's basketball team (14-15, 11-4) a 75-67 loss at the Jack Stephens Center on Thursday night. Alzee Williams scored a game-high 25 points and Tony Mitchell added a 13-point, 16-rebound double-double to help the Mean Green deny UALR's bid to clinch the No. 2 seed in the Sun Belt Tournament and an outright West Division championship.

Senior D'Andre Williams and sophomore Chuck Guy paced the Trojans with 18 and 16 points, respectively, while senior Courtney Jackson recorded his first double-double of the year with a 12-point, 14-rebound performance. UALR outscored North Texas 25-to-11 at the foul line, but shot just 31.6 percent from the floor while surrendering a .460 field goal percentage to the Mean Green.

UALR trailed 59-54 with 2:48 left to play in regulation, but rallied to force overtime as Jackson scored on a layup with 2:10 remaining and Guy evened things up at 59-all with a three-point play with 1:26 left in the game. Both teams had a chance to win in overtime, but the two squads combined to go 0-for-3 from three-point range over the final 49 seconds. North Texas had the last possession in regulation after Guy missed a three pointer with 27 seconds left, but Alzee Williams came up short on a contested three-point attempt as time expired.

Race for a Bye

By GrandGreen, in GoMeanGreen.com,

There are basically 6 teams vying for 5 byes. MT is a lock and will be the number 1 seed unless they lose out and UALR wins out, not likely. That leaves 5 teams going for the four other byes. ULL, Denver FAU, UALR and NT with NT having by far the hardest remaining schedule. The good news is that NT is in control and if they can win out would be assured the third seed and an outside shoot for the second seed. The question than becomes what happened if NT goes 2-1, 1-2 and NT is likely sunk.

NT is currently the fifth seed ahead of only FAU at 7-6. FAU plays at MT and at home against USA and a bad Troy team. Most likely they will go 2-1 and end up 9-7 which means that NT could lose a game and still be above FAU at 10-6. The problem is that if NT loses two games, FAU has the tie breaker and NT plays 4 games at Hot Springs. It is also not out of the question that FAU could beat a disinterested MTSU team.

Denver and ULL are both a half game up on NT, with both having two games left with ULM and NT. A miracle would have to happen for either team to lose to ULM, therefore I assume that both win against ULM. If NT beats Denver, they would win the tie breaker. If NT loses to Denver and both finish at 10-6, DU would have the tie breaker if I read the tiebreaker rules correctly because they have a win over MTSU. If NT loses to ULL, ULL wins the tiebreaker as they have beaten NT twice. If NT wins, head to head is tied, and it would go to the second tie breaker which could go down to record against UALR which NT would lose unless they beat UALR.

While it is possible to catch UALR with one more NT lost, it is highly unlikely. NT would have to beat UALR and they would have to lose both to Troy away or ASU at home.

In summary, if NT loses two they have a slim hope of a bye. IF NT goes 2-1, odds are good they will get a bye. Win all three and they are assured a third seed.
