  1. Will Memphis run the table in conference play and go undefeated? They have to play Wichita and UAB twice, those are probably their hardest remaining regular season games. If they do that they they are probably looking at a 5 seed in the Tournament.
  2. Great game, Memphis is a good team and this one came down to the end. However I am still baffled by UNT's inability to inbound the ball, this is a trend that has been going on for a few seasons now. There were several times today that they would inbound the ball directly into a corner trap, many of those instances resulted into a turn over.
  3. Its different now with the NIL and transfer rules, unless a team is in the playoff, the season is over when the portal opens. All of these bowl games are meaningless now (outside the playoffs), they start off each bowl game talking about how many players left, these are not even the same teams that played in the season. This is why I would rather a head coach spend December focused on recruiting players from the portal then preparing for a bowl game.
  4. Its an exhibition game, a consolation, it doesn't count for anything. I think its better to have our program and coaches spend December focused on building a team and staff for the fall rather then a meaningless bowl game.
  5. Its an algorithm based on team efficiency over value of opponents. It is not really a power ranking, its more of a fluid formula that takes the entire season to reveal itself (it makes more sense in late February then early December). It would be interesting to see a tournament bracket based on NET rankings vs one based on committee seed rankings.
  6. His first season was a throw away season, he came in late with virtually no recruiting and no help from the portal. He came in to 24 with a full year of recruiting, and had quite a few successes in the portal on the offensive side of the ball, but struggled on the defensive side. Heading into 25 things are looking promising, I think the new DC has been able to draw some players in.
  7. A bit sloppy on defense, but every time coach gets to them on a time out they do seem to respond. Better passing around the perimeter when they have the ball, but too often it seems like they settle to let one guy do all the work.
  8. The offense is concerning, at times they even look confused.
  9. I really think Hodge just got out coached, the transition defense was weak, once UNTs established their structure they were good, but high point was push the pace enough that UNT could not establish its perimeter defense. On the offensive side of the ball, UNT didnt move the ball around enough, HP used a classic triangle defense allowing anyone driving the ball in to be trapped. Also, UNT had some stupid fouls, you cant run an 8 man rotation if you cant play disciplined.
  10. I dont necessarily like it, but I dont hate it either... I like that they are going with the 3-4, but can he recruit? Drawing up the Xs and Os is one thing, but finding players that can execute the plays in another. Missed tackles has been the story of the defense the last two seasons, we need to bring in guys that can tackle.
  11. Great start for the team in the NET, but the NET is far more accurate in February then it is in early December. It is the metric used by the committee to determine seeding and at large bids for the tournament. Down side is that there is not a lot of opportunity left to move up, The game at Memphis is the only Q1 game left on the regular schedule, and maybe 3-4 Q2 games.
  12. The rules were different when Seth was hired, you didnt have to worry about half the team jumping into the portal, building an NIL fund, and having to build a team from the transfer market. When Seth got here he had something to start with. Morris had nothing when he got here, most of the good players we had left, he was hired with only a couple days left in the transfer window, and had no recruiting plan for UNT.
  13. I dont see the logic in firing a coach just a couple days before the transfer portal opens, especially a G5 program that will see a lot of transfers.
  14. There will be a roster reset every year going forward, 2023 was a complete program reset with new coaches and virtually no recruiting momentum.
  15. It has not even been 2 years since this program did a complete reset, and the team is back in a bowl game. I think most G5 programs would consider that being on the right track.
