North Texas teams sure play well when they wear Green and White like they did this year against Wichita St and WKU. North Texas should never wear purple, tan, orange, grey, red, black, brown, yellow, or any other weird colored uniforms ever again. Go MEAN GREEN!

I am shocked that anyone in the NBA actually admitted it. Kudos to Mr. Palihapitiya.

https://meangreensports.com/news/2022/1/15/mens-basketball-mean-green-top-wku-65-60.aspx The Mean Green consistently play well when wearing our school colors, Green and White BOWLING GREEN, Kentucky — For just the third time in program history and the first time since 2010, the North Texas men's basketball team Saturday afternoon beat Western Kentucky on the road, 65-60.The win is the Mean Green's ninth in their last 10 games and improves them to 11-4 overall and 4-1 in conference. UNT was led Saturday by fifth-year senior Thomas Bell who scored 17 points. He also had six rebounds and four assists in the five-point win. "One thing I love about how we won today is we did it the way we need to play," said head coach Grant McCasland. "I'm super proud of all of the guys, especially the guys like Aaron Scott and JJ Murray who played fantastic and then Thomas Bell really settled us in late. This was a great win for us." In what was a rematch of the 2021 Conference USA Tournament title game that North Texas won 61-58, they once again did it on the defensive end to beat WKU for a third straight time. UNT entered Saturday as the nation's No. 1 3-point defensive team only giving up an average of 4.3 per game. On Saturday they didn't give up a WKU (10-7, 2-2 C-USA) 3-pointer for the first 37 minutes of the 40-minute game. The Hilltoppers finished the game 2-of-12 (16.7 percent) from deep. North Texas forced 15 WKU turnovers and scored 13 points off the turnovers. While UNT was preventing WKU from making 3-pointers on the defensive end, on the offensive side they began the game hot from 3-point range. North Texas opened the game four-of-six from deep and finished 10-of-23 (43.5 percent). Despite having a height disadvantage down low, the Mean Green still matched the Hilltoppers in scoring in the paint as each team scored 26 around the rim. "We got lucky a few times they didn't have some threes go in but I thought defending them on the arc was one of the best things we did tonight and just making sure we had the right guys we wanted shooting for them at the right time," McCasland said. "The senior leadership tonight was great and I'm so thankful for those guys in the locker room." UNT returns home next week and hosts Charlotte on Thursday at 6 p.m. CT. Following Thursday's game they'll host Old Dominion on Saturday at 5 p.m. CT at the Super Pit.

Well Mack lost the bet. Now, before he'll hand the $1 Million over to Las Vegas, he is requiring that they must first name a facility after some asshole. Yeah, I know half of y'all are thinking... .

We've all heard LeBron's lovefests for Communist China and it's leaders. Now, Golden State Warriors part owner Chamath Palihapitiya explains the NBA's unpublished position on human rights violations by China. Finally an honest answer.

Off to Iceland to play soccer with Sportacus! Congrats Brooke, and Thank You for your time at North Texas.

What? A little background here. Ousmane was a very well known player coming out of high school and committed early to Rhode Island. Rhode Island had to reevaluate it's signing class when Makhi and Makhel Mitchell, the twin four star freshman center/power forwards who left Maryland’s basketball team in December, committed to Rhode Island as a package deal. Ousmane then committed to Grant McCasland and North Texas. Many schools were also still pursuing Ousmane, mostly Rick Pitino at Iona right outside New York City. Can you imagine the pressure, sitting in his living room with his parents and Rick Pitino and declining because he has committed to play basketball a thousand miles away in Denton, Texas. Rhode Island couldn't keep a commitment but he could. Thankfully Ousmane honored that commitment to North Texas, signed, enrolled, has worked out like a son-of-a-gun, and has rapidly developed his game. Recently the defeated UMass coach has said there was "very little they could do against him" as he was so dominant inside. Many schools wanted him and we are very fortunate to have him. . .

I already did that in the first post.

There should be an opening since the President of hsc has been promoted to Chancellor of the North Texas System. None of this looks good.

Wow, the UNT Health Science Center (HSC?)sure has distanced itself from affiliation with the University of North Texas. It was at least formerly the North Texas Health Science Center. Now, if that logo doesn't get your Mean Green Pride flowing then I don't know what will. Yes, it sure appears that we've been bamboozled. https://mdschool.tcu.edu/

Team Statistics Team Statistics Game Stats UNT Marsh FG% .481 .453 3FG% .389 .235 FT% .571 .722 RB 41 26 TO 16 7 STL 5 9 A few stats clearly show where we were clearly dominant and also areas where there may be room for improvement. Overall it's a good victory over a very scrappy team desperately fighting for it's relevance in league play.

Terry Cummings, Kenneth Lyons, and Mark Aguirre...

What? Malaise? Oh, yea, the joys of Stagflation. .

It's the sideline cameras, and how they can zoom in on the individual players and show the emotions on their faces like at an NBA game. I would have thought that by the 2020's North Texas would have had a quality school owned television production network like WKU has. Maybe in the 2030's? Do we not have media classes that teach this type of production?

So true. He sells out the whole planet to line his pockets, Thank you for the correction.

https://news.unt.edu/news-releases/5-million-gift-will-expand-career-readiness-unt-business-students Wow, that's an amazingly generous gift.

Amazing, the person in this country that is best positioned for insider trading, is able to achieve a $30M gain off her questionably accumulated $50M portfolio. I am not saying that anything's illegal or unethical, because maybe she's just a really good guesser, like Hillary Clinton was. .

Um, DeepGreen's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw DeepGreen pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious. ... Get well Phill, we love ya .

It was nice seeing the North Texas coaching staff and support personnel wearing Green and White. Thank you guys.

https://meangreensports.com/news/2022/1/8/mens-basketball-mean-green-beat-middle-tennessee.aspx North Texas returned to wearing school colors on Saturday and subsequently returned to winning. DENTON — The North Texas men's basketball team beat Middle Tennessee Saturday afternoon from the Super Pit 70-63 behind a season-high 25 points by newcomer Tylor Perry.Perry scored 17 of his 25 in the second half as the Mean Green held off the pesky Blue Raiders. Score By Periods Team 1 2 F Middle Tenn. 33 30 63 North Texas 36 34 70 "Give credit to Middle Tennessee," said head coach Grant McCasland. "I thought their pressure on defense really had us out of wack especially early. But proud of our team for how they fought through it and found a way to win late."UNT (9-3, 2-1 C-USA) had a season-high 16 turnovers Saturday and eight of them came in the first nine minutes of the game. But a strong shooting night by the team as a whole kept them ahead of Middle Tennessee (9-6, 0-2 C-USA) for most of the game. The Mean Green were 10-of-17 (59 percent) from deep and 20-of-40 (50 percent) overall. "I thought this was one of our best shooting nights," McCasland said. "Anytime you shoot that well from three you give yourself a chance and it started with Drez (McBride) knocking down the first one." Mardrez McBride chipped in 11 points and was 3-of-5 from 3-point range. He scored all 11 points in the first half. In the second half UNT kept the Blue Raiders honest by still attacking the paint and getting to the free throw line. The Mean Green made a season-high 20 free throws Saturday. But when Middle Tennessee was making one final push late in the game, it was Perry who extinguished any Blue Raider hope. With 49 seconds remaining, Perry hit the bottom of the basket on a 30-plus-foot 3-pointer with a hand in his face as the shot clock buzzer rang to give the Mean Green a 69-60 win."We tell him all the time to shoot," McCasland said with a smile. "He's got a special talent and is a unique point guard than we've had here in the past. He's built for those moments."North Texas is on the road next week as they travel to Marshall on Thursday for a 6 p.m. CT scheduled tip-off and then play at WKU on Saturday for a 3 p.m. CT scheduled start.

I think we sometimes get treated unfairly by the referees simply because our bad luck gray and bad luck black uniforms are just so ugly, at least when compared to our beautiful iconic Green and White uniforms. .

North Texas played well and fought hard, but the unlucky gray uniforms were just enough to tilt the game in favor of the Blazers. The final score would probably have been reversed if we were wearing our school colors.

https://meangreensports.com/news/2022/1/6/mens-basketball-mean-green-fall-to-uab-69-63.aspx The jinx continues. North Texas confirms that they usually have bad luck when wearing black or gray. DENTON — The Mean Green men's basketball team's six-game winning streak came to an end Thursday night as North Texas fell 69-63 to UAB at the Super Pit.The Mean Green were outscored 15-1 on second chance points and made three less free throws than the league favorite Blazers."Give credit to UAB they did what they needed to do to win," said head coach Grant McCasland. "They attacked the paint and got second chance points. We knew we had to rebound well to win. I felt like we had a chance there at the end but we didn't make winning plays."With less than 2:15 left in the game, UNT (8-4, 1-1) trailed by just two points. A missed jumper by UAB (13-3, 3-0) was batted out by the Blazers' big man Trey Jemison to his guard Jordan Walker who stepped in a sank a second-chance bucket to increase the lead to two possessions. A missed three on the other end by North Texas turned into two more points for UAB essentially sealing the win."We didn't make the plays late," said senior guard Mardrez McBride. "We got away from attacking the paint and got comfortable with shooting 3-pointers. We know we're a good team and we know we have another important opportunity in front of us Saturday."North Texas took multiple leads in the second half after trailing by one point at halftime, the first time they've trailed at half in seven games. However, they could never increase their lead in the second half to more than one possession. McBride led the way for North Texas with a game-high 17 points. It ties his season-high. He was 4-of-7 from deep. North Texas will be back in action Saturday when they host Middle Tennessee (9-5, 0-1) at 5 p.m. CT from the Super Pit. ***Please feel free to downvote if you absolutely hate the off-color uniforms.*** .
