Great win for the good guys. Not exactly breaking news but Lorient has been such an awesome find for this team. He's so much more skilled than I anticipated and he has room to grow on both ends. I cringed at the early season lineups with him and Moulaye, but that's easily been our best 4/5 combination. Atin is ridiculous when he's on. Delo barely scored a point and he's one of my favorite players to watch. Oh and Hodge moves to 3-0 against ECU.

NT 69 -------- ECU 60 Final

I am not sure if I have ever mentioned this, but…..”I LOVE THIS TEAM!!”

McClain was a hell of a player for us! Congrats!

from the people that brought you 'Best football team ever?' here is 'Best UNT bball team ever?'

I got two words for ya BASKETBALL SCHOOL!

https://dentonrc.com/coach-ross-hodge-rebuilt-unt-while-maintaining-its-success-with-a-unique-style-heres-how/article_0dbbd5f0-d2f7-11ef-802c-1bcba34c42dc.html “A team like Memphis needs its top three or four guys to get 15 shots a game to be successful,” Walker said. “A team like us, it can be five to eight shots per guy. That makes us tougher to guard. I’ll take what we have over what most teams in the country have.” “The culture is what got everyone here,” Lorient said. “We’re a bunch of hardworking guys who want to win.” The Mean Green are just fine with being the Virginia of the AAC, a defensive-focused team that plays at a slow pace, spreads the ball around and — most importantly — wins. “This is one of the closest teams I’ve been on since I started out in AAU,” Walker said. “We’re close off the court. Multiple times this year guys have said they’re sad this is our last year together because of how close we have gotten in a short period of time. “We’re playing for each other.”

Sorry if this was posted but this board gets busy and I haven’t seen the thread. i sure hope this happens! Would make things so much better to have just the one window!

Let's pump the brakes a little.

TBD. If they reach the Sweet 16, then yes, absolutely.

I was a student. It was always NORTH TEXAS game, and then pizza

Though the end of last year’s game in Greenville was thrilling, this kind of second half is easier on my heart!

We can't possibly know yet.

Screw pizza. I remember back in the 90s/early 00s, Wendy's used to run some promotion where they handed out cards where if NT made like 6 three pointers you got a free burger. Well, the folks at Wendy's didn't check (I mean this was before smart phones and all) --- I got A LOT of free burgers on nights where we didn't hit the requisite number of threes.

It’s crazy to think how stacked that FAU roster under May was that a guy like Lorient couldn’t find quality minutes. Guy is a complete player and an incredible athlete.

We own them. Hell, even Benford beat them the one year we were both in CUSA!

Damn good road win!!

I assume it was posted when we were 5-1 in football.

Great. We have to watch 10 and 22 year old videos to feel better about the current state of the program.

Great halftime adjustments, I just wish we could come out looking ready on the road. Hodge says he told them at half that he wasn't seeing the type of effort we should be having. Floyd needs to drive with confidence and take the shot, got himself into trouble a few times when I felt like he could just shoot. On a side note do we need to do steroid testing at ECU? Why were their guys so jacked? 😂

Felton is a heck of a player. Sissoko with another solid game. Lorient and Wright with their typical nights. Agree with the comment about Walker. Other than his occasional lazy pass, he is clutch in so many ways that don't show up in the box score. Great leader and just clutch player. If we could get Jossell, Floyd and Massey rolling, we'd be unstoppable.

Nice buzzer heave, jackass.

Hahahaha....one of the best all time lines by George, "...you know I always wanted to pretend to be an architect." I don't claim to be an architect, but I know sh!t when I see it. 🤪

Never realized how many architects we had on this site. Starting to rival the number of clothing/uniform designers.

If I may ask, how long have you been following the program?

Hmm, this is a serious consideration. New question: Is this possibly the worst UNT BBall team ever? I mean, we average 58.8 PPG, which is DEAD LAST in the AAC. How can we ever expect to win anything??

I saw another rule suggestion that was trying to cut down on faking injuries, if you go down injured and have to be helped off the field you have to sit out the rest of that drive. I think that's a great rule.

I think that's the whole complaint. We need fans that love their school enough that they show up because North Texas is playing. Period.

He is this team's Thomas Bell. Those types of players just have a high basketball IQ and do a lot of the glue type stuff. Just all around utility guy.

Glad Lance found a landing spot! I hope his guys do well.

I contend that this paragraph has more HSOs than any I've ever read on this forum

Let's keep it rolling.

Never really felt in doubt about this one even though we trailed much of the game... glad to get the win on the road. Basically held them to 7 the final 8 minutes or so. Not going to count that desperation 3 at the buzzer.

Ice in his veins

"Yes, it's Jayshayne with two Ys" Gen X/Millennials did the absolute worst at naming their kids.

I'm confused; am I a North Texas fan, or a fan of the other team? Last I checked, I show up to the Pit to watch North Texas play basketball because that's MY alma mater...the team on the opposing bench is peripheral to my reason for attending.

Everyone that lives in Frisco, Allen and on the eastern side of the Metroplex should be required to move closer, maybe even inside the Denton city limits if they really loved their school.

Another reference of what a G5 did. it cost App. St. $50M.

Nice win for the good guys.

I don't think that should have counted. If you saw the replay from the basket-camera view he caught the ball, pivoted, jumped and shot. You can't do all that in 0.5 seconds...not 5 seconds, half of one second. It doesn't really matter other than taking our defensive scoring average up slightly and making it look closer than it was, lol.

These videos are way better

Clutch

NT 57 -------- ECU 50 5:52 to go What a 9-0 run, right when we needed it.

We really need to stop these lazy-ass passes.

I saw the SMU men’s basketball team got EMBARRASSED by Duke the other day. Money can’t buy everything.

I don't expect this game to be easy. Away games are already hard enough, but ECU has played some teams close.

Big game. Teams are starting to pool together in the standings. Good separator game to solidify ourselves into that top quarter of the conference and to push ECU down into the bottom quarter/half.

Go West young man - it worked out for TCU. The revitalized PAC, top to bottom, is a strong conference (stronger than the AAC) and will regularly be a multi-bid conference in the NCAA tournament. We should be pursuing membership IMHO. If Texas State and/or UTSA gets a nod and we don't it will be a colossal mistake.
