UNTFan23

and 4610.

I'm done after my 6.30 final tonight. I'm looking forward to letting loose. Unfortunately, no free pizza for me.

Well, the residence hall is to hold roughly a little more then 300 beds. It will have a "H" shape to it. It should also integrate nicely with Santa Fe. What I found interesting is that they are using the equivilence of a RAD (Rapid Application Development) with JAD (Joint Application Development) concepts (used in the development of Information Systems).

Other then the natural color of the wood, the only collors on the floor were GREEN and WHITE. No ORANGE or BLUE! As for the Mean Green sharing floor space with the Lady Eagles, I think what helped get the new floor was Title 9 funding...The Lady Eagles needed a new floor, so what if the men happened to play on the same floor.

[*]The foul calling by the refs seemed a little lop sided. I noticed one of the refs was the same we had at SMU. <_< [*]We also got mauled under the basket. [*]Need more offensive rebounds!!! [*]TCU just made some good shots while we didn't. [*]We seemed to be a little banged up, since a couple of our players got little or no minutes. (Justin Barnett, angle?, 0 minutes @ Center) But the new floor looks sweet. They also are working on a new lighting system, which should (strictly my opinion) be completed in before the start of next semester. Crowd looked nice, but was hushed several times (see refs) when things started clicking. Hopefully, they weren't scared off because of one bad game.

They recently tore down an old apartment complex, plus the little trashy stores that were behind pickup(?).

I've heard 300 beds. I'm thinking of attending the ground breaking (study break), and the capacity will surely be announced.

From Amy Ayres: A Groundbreaking Ceremony for UNT's new Residence Hall will take place on Wednesday, December 11, at 3:30 p.m. on the corner of North Texas Blvd and West Prairie (former Texas Pick-up location). A reception will be held in Santa Fe Lobby immediately following the ceremony. All students are encouraged to attend. The Residence Hall is scheduled for occupancy next fall.

I hear we'll get to see the new floor. I'm excited, is any one else? I'm also hoping to see stands on the floor for the students. It'll be awesome if I can help make a difference for the team (Men's or Women's). I think if we come to play (and play to win), there's a good chance we'll walk away with a win. Especially since both teams are pretty much equal equal.

I was wondering the same thing about our football players that play bball in the off season. I also wonder if any other players might try and join the squad...

Anyone going to be in chat during the game?

98 - 30 with 3.00 remaining in the 2nd half Um, why is TTu getting so much freaking air time in the DFW area. At least Bobby Knight is providing mucho entertainment with his "quality" commericials.

While I haven't been to the zoo recently, they've done some major renovating, using a safari theme. Now is the time to go anyways. The animals are more active (those that can live in a more cool/colder climate) since it's colder. Lately, they've been doing x-mas decorations during the holiday season. I still think it's first rate. Edited 'cause I can't spell.

A little from column A, a little from column B, but mostly from column A.

Another scouting opportunity for a UNT opponent. I also read off the TCU board that internet radio is www.ktcu.tcu.edu. I'll try to watch the game if I don't fall asleep....6 hours cumlative sleep in the last 2 days....stupid homework <_

While bus rides can be long and daunting, the best way to offset this is to BRING MOVIES! Anyone have any good ideas? (Also be careful if you rent, it wouldn't be cool to rack up extra viewing charges if something is late). Eric said he doesn't care about what's shown (as long as it's not porn), so I guess most anything is good. Personally, I prefer action movies. Anyone wanna watch the all-time favorite for a bus trip, SPEED?!?

Mustangs pull away Rebounds vital to SMU’s 88-75 win over Mean Green 11/30/2002 By Tim MacMahon / Staff Writer UNIVERSITY PARK — North Texas suffered an 88-75 loss Friday night to SMU for one simple reason: The Mustangs were tougher than the Mean Green. UNT was dominated by its regional rival in the paint at Moody Coliseum, which is why the Mustangs attempted more than twice as many free throws as the Mean Green. SMU enjoyed a 54-37 rebounding advantage and had more offensive boards (24) than UNT had defensive boards (19). "If a team isn’t shooting the ball that well, you can’t allow them second and third opportunities," UNT coach Johnny Jones said. "We just didn’t do a good job of being physical enough and keeping them off the offensive glass." Added UNT swingman Chris Davis, who scored 16 points before fouling out late in the game: "We didn’t get a body on them like we needed to. That determined the game." It certainly didn’t help UNT (1-1) that SMU swingman Quinton Ross produced a career-high point total for the third consecutive game. Ross scored 32 points on 10-of-16 shooting from the floor and 9-of-10 shooting from the line. He also had a game-high six offensive rebounds. "He can make a difference between a win and a loss," said SMU coach Mike Dement, whose team has beaten UNT the last two seasons. "He did that tonight." SMU forward Eric Castro chipped in with a double-double, scoring 14 points and grabbing a game-high 14 rebounds. The Mean Green spent most of the game trailing by single digits only because of the hot shooting of point guard Jerome Rogers, who scored 21 points off the bench. The 5-10 Rogers, a Dallas Madison product playing in his hometown, made six of 11 3-point attempts. UNT also got solid contributions from reserves Ron Harris (nine points, four rebounds in 18 minutes) and Unjel Masters (six points, seven rebounds in 18 minutes). "Our bench was the reason that we were still in the game." Jones said. Every time the Mean Green made a run, however, SMU responded. UNT guard Leonard Hopkins (15 points) hit a 3-pointer early in the second half to put the Mean Green ahead, 47-46, its first lead since the early stages of the game. SMU (2-1) scored the next six points. A Rogers 3-pointer brought UNT within two with 14:44 to play. The Mustangs quickly reeled off a seven-point run, which included five points by Castro. Masters and Davis hit jumpers on consecutive possessions to pull UNT within five with 5:55 to play, prompting Dement to call a timeout and apparently giving the Mean Green momentum. Not so, as the Mustangs scored 13 of the next 14 points to put the game away. "We almost caught them," Hopkins said. "Q. Ross and them just made wide-open clutch shots. They answered us every time." The Mustangs rode Ross to a 44-41 halftime lead. The 6-6 senior swingman scored 21 points on 6-of-8 shooting — scoring 14 consecutive points for SMU at one point — in the first 20 minutes. UNT opened an 11-5 advantage before the first media timeout, but SMU soon went on a 15-3 run to take the lead. The Mustangs led as many as 10, but the Mean Green closed the gap by scoring nine unanswered points near the end of the half. SMU, however, pounded UNT inside in the second half. The Mustangs had a 24-10 advantage in points in the paint after halftime. The majority of that came off of offensive rebounding. "We’re bigger than we were last year and stronger than we were last year," Jones said when asked if rebounding could present a season-long problem for UNT. "It’s just a matter of having that desire and determination to get to the glass."

Anyone know if there will be a VCR or DVD in the buses? Might make the trip seem a little shorter plus more fun.

We'll get a good look at SMU who we play this Friday night.

Too bad I'm graduating in the spring. *sighs*

Still rough at times. Looked impressive at times. I just wonder how we'll fair against higher quality teams. I don't know how many were there, but the game seemed fairly well attended since it's a preseason game.
