Let's hope he doesn't get injured.

Just shows how precious life is, even when you think it's a bad day or a regular day. This 21-year-old was an elite athlete and it sounds like he had heart issues, how do you prepare for that at that age? You never know and I hope his family and friends find peace with such a hard loss.

I don't know if anyone remembers, but how low and disregarded was ULL's team before the season started last year??? They were picked to be among the last teams in the belt! And go figure...they were the ONLY team from the belt that WON in a bowl game and against a good SDSU team! So please, spare your comments and predictions and leave it up to the coaching staff to get this team prepared.

Idk if I want this kid in our team. Kinda hope he chooses another school. I can already read his blatant arrogance through his tweet and I want our team to be surrounded by humble, blue-collar players.

lol, what's wrong with that guy?

Btw, the Woman's BB team have the exact same overall and conference record as the Men's BB team. 12-9 (5-3). Weird.

No, this is the first game lost by 2, actually. The previous two were lost by 3 points.

Ugly all around, and to think we had a real chance at tying/winning at the end. We certainly could beat ASU if we regroup and Tony doesn't fall into foul trouble and still have a chance to win the West...crazy after everything that this team is going through.

Highly doubt we'll recover, this is game is almost over. Don't see how they can come back. What an ugly game.

Horrible start to the second half. Don't know if we'll pull out of this one.

Water...preferably purified.

It's not like we've been blown out by a Sunbelt team. So far, we should be 6-0. We should have beaten UALR and ASU. I get it that when a team is finding its way, it'll let a few games slip away, but this team is capable of developing faster than what some of you think. I don't see why this team doesn't have a chance to win the conference tourney...this year. Believe.

I fully enjoy sports and love the Mean Green. All the more reason to have high expectations. I don't have unrealistic or unreasonable expectations. This team has the talent and ability to win and if they suffer from injuries, then of course those expectations should change. But as the team is currently set, I expect it to start winning more consistently. If you don't, that's fine, but I do and that doesn't ruin the fun of following sports on my end.

Let me remind you that last year we started losing our conference games just as our team started suffering from injuries. And this new team has more depth and talent. Talent is what you call people with certain unusual abilities and ones who work hard to exploit those abilities. This team is trying to do the latter, but is not transfere yet there. Never in the history of our program have we had a player like Tony Mitchell and he has a good supporting cast...yes, I expect us to start dominating. You don't achieve much in life without holding high expectations. And btw, I don't think expecting us to beat Denver and start consistently winning in conference play is an unreasonable and unrealistic expectation because I know this team has that potential. Like I said, we could have easily been sitting at 6-0 at this point. Anyway, I do except us to beat Denver and continue winning, period.

How can we NOT expect to win against the top teams in the belt?? How??? When we have such a talented team with Tony Mitchell in the mix, you have to expect the team to dominate the belt! I know it takes time, but this team has been playing together for months now and Tony Mitchell already has a solid month or so of play by the time we play Denver. I fully expect a win at home. This team needs to start proving it knows how to win and finish off games. We should be 6-0 in Sunbelt play this season, and it's okay, the team was still "developing chemistry," but we're at the point where that chemistry is showing and now the team needs to play with a sense of hunger and intensity to win. The talent is there...

Before we can say we're good by Sunbelt standards, we need to be able to beat Denver at home. If we lose against Denver, I am not sure how much progress this team has really made. Put them to the real test, and let's how these guys respond. Heck, we should beat MTSU when we play them at the Pit...this team needs to keep proving that it's getting better through hard work while exploiting its talent and athleticism. Great things can happen in the future if this team is coached well and works hard to improve, things that are supposedly happening. But at the moment, beating ULM the way we did, losing to ASU, and to UALR at home, shows that this team doesn't yet know how to beat teams it should be beating without much of a hassle. We should be getting to MTSU's level rather soon in my opinion.

This team is too young to know how to put a game a away. Should have won this game.

That's awesome. I wish more Denton citizens had that same support!

FIU is probably one of the most inconsistent teams I've seen all season long. Not too surprised they let this game get away.

I am still upset about that game. Our guys just forgot to show up that night.

Seems like the team is starting to come together, especially the way they played on the second half. I can't wait to go to the LSU game and hope we come out with a big win with a strong performance from Mitchell.

That thread is ridiculous. I saw a couple of MG supporters being nice on that thread and those jerks just kept spewing their nonsense filled with arrogance.

Let that fuel up Tony Mitchell. On Thursday night, let's give them hell at the Pit!

Oh yeah? That's awesome. Do they have any affiliation with UNT?

Screw the bowl system. What we need is a playoff system.
