That is correct, guess the link from the UTA site is bad .... so it was 1300, seems a little low to me ... and i dont really think Dennis would of made that much of a difference in the game, whos time would he of taken? remember UTA was up by double digits before UNT made a pretty nice comeback in the last two minutes ... UTA controlled the first 18 minutes of the second half, and held off a nice run by UNT to end the game ... Dennis is a nice player, but I dont think he would of won the game for UNT ... you guys did not need outside shooting, you needed someone to park it in the middle of the zone to make UTA compress and THEN exploit the weakened zone with outside shots and inside moves ... by not exploiting the middle of the zone UNT played into the strenghts of the zone, that simple ... does not matter how many 3 point shooters you had, the shots were not there ....

The official box score said 2,122 which seems more like it ... make fun of texas hall, but small crowds sound MUCH bigger in that building even if it was 1300 ... http://utamavs.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/st...08/m111807.html

The press defense that UTA played got to your young guards, quick hands tipped the ball countless times when it got to your bigs .... the top of the key was wide open all night, dont know if your coach noticed or not, but if you spot a guy in there (who can make it) and it forces UTA to change some things around ... UNT's chance at taking the game was the 1st half when Griffin was in foul trouble, the opportunity was missed and UTA capitalized UTA is a good team, and proved to be a better team thatn UNT tonight, that simple .... I think the way that game was played and the amount of UNT fans in there, it would be pretty close no matter where it was played .... Just two good teams going at it .... what makes me mad is that there was NO coverage by the local stations or newspapers ... both of our squads deserve more coverage than they get ...

hmmm not bad for a cupcake ...but since the game is over the smak talk hat can come off .... it was a good game, you guys had a great crowd there .... hopefully this will be a series that continues for many years .... GO MAVS!!! good luck for the rest of the year ... I would love to have a rematch in the NCAA tournament

now you just sound like a moron UTA is an international school, UNT is a backup plan

Just like last year huh?

Offshoot? Hardly, bigger and better buddy

good game ... your coach was saying on the radio that there is no courtside monitor so the shot could not of been reviewed ... Hopefully this game is the new beginning to a yearly series against UNT - UTA

Try 3 1/2 feet ..... give or take a few inches .... when standing against it I can rest my elbows and lean on the stage to watch a game ... I am 6" tall ... to do this on a 7 foot wall I would have to be around 8' and I would not be watching basketball I would be playing basketball ....

There are walls on either side of the goal, but you go about three feet behind the goal, there is the curtain, and then another 5-7 feet (it is a public walkway) to hit a wall ... you got to be one careless son of a gun to hit that wall .... I have seen over 80 games in Texas Hall, and only once have I seen a player come off the court, a UTA player was going full steam for a loose ball and jumped off the stage after he saved it, was in total control of where he was going the entire time .... not much different than having to hurdle a row of fans in most arenas ....

The Mavericks have been getting solid classes for the past few years .... this 2005 class is about on par as the 2003 class ..... the 2003 class actually has 3 players from the top 40 in the state .... But what helped this class, and hopefully future classes is that we have been getting it done quickly, allowing the coaches to spend more time on next year ..... A regular UNT - UTA matchup should happen when UTA gets the new arena ... no more excuses after that

It was their last home game of the year ... senior night .... and I am sure a lot of people wanted to see NCAA history be prevented ...... who wants to graduate from Savannah and have every interview have one "basketball" question ......

he sure looks big out there......also that is an impressive block......

Stop calling it an ochestra pit...because it is not.....it is a 3-4 foot drop where the stage ends and the seating begins.....which is now normally lined by fans........ I have seen around 100 games at Texas Hall and only once has a player fallen off.......they jumped off after saving a loose ball....and they were OK..... it is called court awareness......if a player falls off the edge...which is about 5-9 feet from the edge of the court (depending on where you are) it is because they were running around recklessly and anyway in most arenas by that point they are running into fans......and would have to hurdle seats (which is also a way to get hurt) Texas Hall is just as "dangerous" as any arena if a player is not paying attention or running around recklessly........ and the band has always played to side, because frankly there is no room anywhere else for them to sit...... heck we will come to Denton to whup on you guys anyway
