But all of the above are in a better conference or have a nicer facility.... Its time to take advantage of what we have in Mitchel and build on this program... a new arena ... a new conference would be a great start!

No Mitchel... I have been watching these mock drafts from day one and always assumed he would stay and this still confirms what I think. We will have one more year of T-Mitch with Williams and Jones! We just need to do something about our conference and our arena... SMU, TCU, Baylor, and now UTA all have a leg up on us in the area... I get around the area (hear things via people) and it is really looking harder and harder to contend in the metroplex with what UTA has done and the SMU/TCU moves. UNT needs to get on the ball and take full advantage of having Mitchel!

Im interested to see what the starting line ups will look like. I feel like everyone but Trey and Forrest can definitely contribute in a big way. Its going to be a lot of minutes on Mitchel and Alzee. Especially if we do not get a bye.

What really gets me is that if you average our six conferences losses together it comes out to 3 points a game! A few free throws or a three pointer here or there and we are undefeated in conference play. This is what continues to give me hope come hot springs. 45% from the free throw line last game will never happen again. Tony will lead us to the promise land.

I needed something to do in this miserable rain and I was already on espn looking at the match up

After a heart breaking loss to another good belt team it is time to hit the road and take the next two games! We should definitely hit the boards in this game and dominate the glass!

That is what Brandon Walton is for. He just had a off night.... And I mean a really off night.

That was my point... but I got the feeling that some people on here thought he was a number 2 on a team. (Granted we need that right about now). He will have another good night or two especially in the tourney, I know this for sure!

My point was he has always been lucky to be on a good team. He is not a go to guy. next year with Jones, Williams, Alzee (Hopefully Mitchel) he will be much better. He is a good player but not a star player. I love his intensity though. Every player on our team needs his mindset!

I just want to win out and get into the tourney healthy! Zo and Ked are just too beat up, though Zo had a really nice night. Franklin is quickly falling off the radar and performing how he use to when he was just a at best decent contributor in highschool or at OSU. He was just always lucky to be on a good team. I still like the lineup up of Alzee, Hall, Mitchel, Niko/Ked/Zo/Holmen interchangeable.

Pretty weak.... lowest turn out in a while for a fun game, amazing halftime show and spirit sleeves

DAMMIT

Does he look like an academic risk?

We will break 100 tomorrow night and I will enjoy my Frosty while I get my car washed!

Yes some of it is about production but like most late draft pics he will ride the pine. You are acting like he would be a start or garner 20 minutes a night!

It is not an issue of a deep draft... it is an Issue of play time, salary, and already established teams!

I am really not understanding where you guys are pulling these numbers from... outside of one espn source I have not seen him even mentioned in the 2012 draft... I am not saying it is impossible but from what the NBA scouts have said the past few games I really do not understand where your getting your information from. There have been great players like Boozer or Ginobili taken in the draft late but they do not make an impact for a while. The simple reason is the salary structure. Go ahead and tell Cuban to play Yi or Wright over Haywood because both are more productive... which is true! The simple fact is he is owed 6 million a year over the next 4 years and most owners/coaches are not going to let that money sit on the end of the bench so some second round 800k a year player can get his minutes. Please try watching the NBA.. why did Roddy not play earlier? Why did guys like Boozer or Redd have to wait a while to get into the game? If he is a lotto pick or maybe a first rounder (which I still have not seen the signs) then he may get 15 minutes or more a game... Most likely if he goes this year he would go at best in the late first round to an already established team like the spurs or the Celtics and ride the pine behind the veteran players. The day Tony Mitchel gets to start over a fresh Paul Pierce or Richard Jefferson you call me!

Not sure If I should state my exact opinion... obviously I want a win, but it would not hurt to have Middle win out before we beat them in the finals of the sunbelt tourney! It would be nice to see the belt get two bids again. I will be cheering my arse off for UNT but either way its a good thing for our conference and when Tony, CJ, and Williams come back next year they wont know what hit them! (hopefully we will be in a new conference soon)

I have been saying this for years! I hate the fact that here in Texas we do not use a shot clock in high school ball! It allows the other teams to sit on the ball for minutes with the lead! It slows down the pace and Johhny always seems to take full advantage of that 35 seconds!

Exactly... Even if he does well he will ride the bench because they are not going to play a player who is making 850,000 minutes over a player who they are paying 6,000,000.... That is just how that is just how the nba works! Now when his contract is up in 2/4 years depending on the rookie option then he can get paid more if he shows up in practice and play the minutes he deserves.

The only reason he would go to the NBA this year would be the fact he was blessed with a very athletic body ready for the NBA. He still makes foolish mistakes the prove night in night out he is not ready for the hardwood. He is an exceptional player! But needs another year to develop or the NBA will eat him alive... he will ride the pin for 3 or 4 years before getting the minutes he could get if he were a lotto pick and waited one more year.

He also has more fouls and turnovers then the bigs listed... He still has a lot of developing to do and he will be in a UNT jersey next fall and wind up being a lottery pick in 2013... Perry Jones stayed a year the Plumlees have stayed multiple years... Sullinger stayed a long time! Most players are now going as sophomores or juniors

I prefer to start Norris, Hall, Mitchel, Edwards, and Hogans Leaving plenty of juice off the bench! They do not have to stay in for long... but it gives us a ton of depth!

Nationally televised game my a$$.... I spread the word the game would be on TV... and its not even listed on ESPN! Somebody dropped the ball....
