Since there is clearly no basis for the numbers they are puking out, it would be much better for them to take some photos, have an AI stitch them into a 360, and then have it say how many people are in the 360.

Great win tonight. But again with the attendance. That was like 2X '2661'. Really happy smu lost though; maybe these are the prices we have to pay for such things.

I would think they'd feel more appreciated if the lunch was at a fancier venue.

Oh I got that; I was just inspired by NTWL calling them old piss. Doubtless they have a horde of obnoxious fans who come out of the woodwork when the baseball or football, and now basketball, team does well. They will go to sad and extreme lengths trying to keep up with other SEC schools. I'm not really looking for that sort of end from North Texas, but we could stand to adopt just about any good ideas to get students and alumni to care about the sports teams some more and understand the positive impact they can have as fans.

Or Ole Mess or Old Myth. The 12 years I spent in Memphis, with them only an hour away, did not endear them to me; quite the opposite. On the other hand, the truth is I hate nearly all universities that aren’t North Texas. 😁

I watched stAte play Troy in the regular season. They barely lost, but I figure if we can beat them we can beat anyone else in the NIT.

If some of the other games were low 4Ks as reported, this was closer to 5K.

There were way more than 2100 people there. Someone dropped the ball. Staffing must be a challenge cause several entrances were closed.

The sovereign nation of West Varginia should declare war on the state of North Carolinia!

This crown thing doesn’t have many teams. It’s no more significant than the early-season tournaments. It’s making Fox about as relevant as Georgia Tech was today.

Georgia Tech is making the ACC look so ‘nationally relevant’ against Jacksonville right now.

Yesterday was disappointing, but overall this season is a great progression for coach Hodge and I’m looking forward to continued improvement.

That was appropriately emphatic in the second half. I wish East Carolina would make it tougher on Burningham. The arena is very nice.

Taking a foot off the gas for an inconsequential road game at this point is not the worst thing. UAB did the same. If it helps to win some conference tournament games, great.

There is a busy thoroughfare between the event and the main parking for the event. Perfect. I guess you guys would be ok with people dodging cars on 35 to get to the stadium. A test of faith to find the few worthy to be a fan! Maybe route traffic to the back side of the lot then.

Absolutely! As for the bridge, I don’t care what it looks like. I don’t want anyone to get run over and the current situation is a traffic hassle. It’s a hazard especially at night. Make it easier for people to get in there, and safely, and maybe more will come.

Maybe having a ceiling other than jet black would make it lighter in there.

There are never many people in the upper; shutting it won’t make much difference. And the upper never shows on tv. I like the cheaper seats, extra space and higher perspective. They should make a pedestrian bridge from the lot up to the entrance level.

I wish I could have got a photo of Atin's face coming off the floor. Sheer pride and joy! To see that and his performance made me feel the same.

Best things to say about this are I don’t think anyone got injured, and we can hit outside shots. Lot of tentative ball handling, timid defense and bad shots taken, mainly due to getting into dead ends. Glad as always to see a win, but much different will be needed to get a conference tournament win. Seemed like quite a few shocker fans made the trip.

We should do everything we can to keep State down, the way others have done to us.

As someone who's taken my share of bad looks over the years, I can say with authority that, no matter the history, at this point it's a bad look to dunk on the dude. When he made that steal the other day, it was exciting. If nothing else, he's in there giving a starter minutes that help to reduce fouls on them.

Ha! North Texas has for decades vastly appealed to young people who not only don’t give a hoot about sports, but for whom the idea, of sitting close together in an enclosed space singing the same songs in unison and wearing the same clothes, sounds like absolute torture. Those young people are not ‘losers’. Some of them will change as they move on and mature. Efforts would be better spent finding those.

I enjoyed Mavs night more than expected. Was surprised as many showed up in the cold as did. Impressed by the big man and defense. Great night!

Thunderous second-half beatdown!
