You pretty much hit the issue on its head. The issue is not the type of students we have, but that students don't care about UNT, or at least not enough to go to games. They and the townspeople of Denton didn't grow up loving and wishing they could go to UNT one day, like they do for UT or A&M. The AD needs to heavily focus on making a connection to Denton county and the students to change that mentality.

That windmill dunk by Lorient had my jaw on the floor. Holy smokes!

All good, I thought it was 2032 until recently as well, it's hard to keep up with all the info. Yup everyone is waiting on that PAC news to see how things go, hopefully whatever happens it's good for us.

I thought that was the original end date and when we were added they extended the deal to 2034. https://theamerican.org/news/2019/3/27/general-american-athletic-conference-and-espn-agree-to-12-year-media-rights-extension.aspx https://herosports.com/fbs-aac-commissioner-mike-aresco-mnmn/

9 years. I believe the AAC deal runs through 2034.

Agreed, glad to get the W. I just hope these refs call things better for both teams, I would rather a fair game than getting calls because that could easily swing the other way.

Agreed they missed that, but they also got a lucky break because if that was not a foul he stepped out of bounds, but they got to keep possesion. If they wouldn't have fouled us intentionally we would not have made it into the bonus. They got 3 bad calls in their favor in the last 3 minutes when the game was close while they were in the bonus. 1 was a clear makeup call because of their coach complaining that even the announcers were talking about. Josell get's hit on the hand shooting and looks around at the refs and no call? How is that not home cooking?

Did you miss the swatting down (maybe Newell) that was called an over the back. I mentioned the hack on Josell in the post above, he also got called for a blocking foul when he had both feet planted in a clear charge. What about the reach in on Newell when he had his hands in the air on their break away? There were bad calls both ways, but at the end of the game they were giving USF chance after chance.

Yeah I was surprised they as well.

Agreed, they missed both ways, but you can't just give them makeup call after makeup call when they are already in the bonus and double bonus. Josell also got hacked on his shot in the least 2 minutes and they called nothing.

That was disgusting officiating. They tried to give that game to USF.

Other posters know the specifics more, but renovation would involve major structural work and a complete tear down which would make it just as or more expensive than a new structure. @NorthTexasWeLove is right that it's only a matter of time with a building this old, the structures and supports need renovating or replacing eventually, so UNT will have to make that choice one way or the other. Agree.

Doing a quick search Devlin Fieldhouse has had 2 major renovations, once in 1988 and again in 2011, how many renovations has the SP had? That's a genuine question, not some sarcastic jab. I can only think of the time we hung the center scoreboard, but that wasn't structural or did they reinforce the roof?

If true about no additional money I expect them to go with the cheapest option in TxSt and call it a day. No reason to add more schools if it doesn't add to your revenue. Their problem will be having only 1 CST team and being on the CW is going to relegate them to an afterthought. B1G, Big12, and ACC now all have late night content that they can put on ABC, ESPN, Fox, NBC, and CBS.

27 big ones for Sissoko. I was honestly hoping to see him take a 3 to see if he could get to 30, he deserved it. 😂

If the post above yours is accurate then the media deal is too low to make a move, otherwise Tulane and Memphis would have made the jump. The added travel expense, media partner, lower population density, later start times, etc. all had to be overcome with enough money to justify the move.

I cannot believe the foul called on Lorient when they were fighting for the rebound. He had his hands fully on the ball blocking it and it's a foul?

I've lost count of how many times they have hooked us in the paint and not a single whistle.

Too many forced passes down low would be my guess for this stat. We saw a lot of balls get poked away or stolen because they kept trying to force points in around the rim instead of having confidence in their shooting.

The plan at the end was clearly to get it to Wright, once he was unable to get open there was no backup.

In the last few games I also feel like we have lost our confidence in our shooting. We are trying to go down low every possession. Neither Wright or Jossell have been shooting much.
