Where did she come from out of nowhere? She had one hell of a game yesterday in a big moment for the program. ECU expected to win that game and yet she put the team on her shoulders when we needed her most.

FORT WORTH, Texas — The UNT women’s basketball team secured a spot in the semifinals of the American Athletic Conference Championships for the first time with a 69-58 win over East Carolina on Monday night at Dickies Arena. The Mean Green used another huge second half to down the Pirates in their first game of the tournament. North Texas outscored East Carolina, 47-33, in the final 20 minutes to erase a 25-22 halftime deficit. “You have to come to the tournament and get that first one, get that monkey off your back, so to speak,” head coach Jason Burton said. “I thought the first half we kind of had those jitters. Then we do what North Texas traditionally does in the second half. We tightened things up and came out and played huge in the second half, and we got contributions across the board.” Tommisha Lampkin started a 14-2 run midway through the third quarter that gave UNT a lead that it wouldn’t relinquish. Jaelyn Talley played an integral role in the comeback posting nine points in the quarter on 4-of-4 shooting, while finishing with a season-high 13 points. Lampkin recorded her 17th double double of the season and 35th of her career, surpassing Clara Campbell for the most double doubles in a career in program history. The All-AAC First Team selection had 15 points, knocking down a solid 9-of-14 attempts from the free throw line, and grabbed 12 rebounds in the game. The Mean Green defense forced the Pirates into 18 turnovers and held them to 34% shooting from the field. Desiree Wooten and Aniyah Johnson showed why they earned a spot on the conference’s All-Defensive team as Wooten had three steals and Johnson recorded a career-high six blocks. The senior had six of UNT’s seven blocks on the night, which is tied for the second most in a game in program history and the second most by any player in AAC Tournament history. Wooten had a career-high seven assists to go with 11 points that matched Jaaucklyn Moore on the night. With the win, North Texas set a program record for wins in a single season, improving to 24-7. It also marked their eight-straight win dating back to Feb. 9, which ties the longest win streak in program history. The Mean Green will play the winner of No. 3 South Florida and No. 6 Tulane in the second semifinal of the day with tip-off set for 8 p.m. CT from Dickies Arena.

Do we know is miss Anyiah will be back after her leg injury? Looked like a hyper-extended knee from mine eyes.

Agreed and none of our high school players ever see the court anyways.

I am in Corinth.

DENTON, Texas – UNT head football coach Eric Morris has announced the hiring of Cody Crill as the offensive line coach for the Mean Green. Crill joins the North Texas staff after spending the 2024 season in the same role at Marshall, helping the Thundering Herd post a 10-3 record and win the Sun Belt Conference title. Crill is no stranger to head coach Eric Morris, as this will be his second stint working for the Mean Green signal caller after spending the 2018-21 seasons as the offensive coordinator at Incarnate Word with Morris. In 2024, Crill was the offensive line coach for the Marshall offense that finished 18th in FBS in rushing offense. The Thundering Herd won the SBC Championship, giving Marshall its first conference title since winning C-USA in 2014. Prior to his time at Marshall, Crill was the offensive line coach for the DC Defenders in the XFL in 2022-2023. In his lone full season in the nation’s capital, Crill helped the Defenders post an impressive 9-1 overall record and finish in first place in the XFL North Division. DC would go on to play in the XFL Championship game before falling to the Arlington Renegades. From 2018-21, Crill coordinated one of the best offenses in FCS while at UIW. The Cardinals offense finished in the top-10 nationally in three of his four seasons, including leading the nation in 2020-21 at 552.3 yards per game. The Cardinals also finished in the top five in scoring in each of his final two seasons, third in 2020-21 (42.0 ppg) and fifth in 2021 (39.5 ppg). In 2021, Crill helped guide UIW to the Southland Conference title, reach the NCAA FCS Second Round and finish with a 10-3 record, the winningest record in program history. Crill coordinated the offense that featured future Heisman finalist Cam Ward to Southland Conference Offensive Player of the Year honors. Crill also helped the Cardinals win the 2018 Southland Conference title and the program’s first appearance in the FCS Playoffs in program history. Crill joined the UIW staff after nine seasons at Navarro College, the final three of which he served as the program’s head coach. In nine years with the Bulldogs, Navarro accumulated an impressive 97-24 record, three conference titles, four bowl wins and the 2010 NJCAA National Championship. His time at Navarro also saw him guide 30 offensive linemen to the Division I level. With Crill at the helm in his final three seasons, Navarro compiled a 19-11 record. In 2017, the Bulldogs ranked No. 17 in the final NJCAA Poll following a 6-4 campaign and a spot in the Southwest Junior College Football Conference (SWJCFC) semifinal game. The 2016 Bulldogs were 6-3 overall. They won their final three regular-season games and finished ranked No. 9 in the NJCAA Poll. In 2015, Navarro finished with a 7-4 record and were the SWJCFC runner-up. Crill’s time as an offensive coordinator at Navarro was highlighted by the 2014 season that saw the Bulldogs rank third nationally in total offense (612.3 yards per game) and first in rushing yards per game (335.1 YPG). That season, Navarro went 7-3 and finished No. 14 in the NJCAA poll. The Bulldogs also had the No. 1 scoring offense in school history (43.4 PPG), the No. 1 rushing offense and the No. 7 total offense in NJCAA in 2012 en route to a SWJCFC and Heart of Texas Bowl Championships. Crill joined the Navarro staff after spending three seasons as the offensive line coach at Winston-Salem State University. Prior, he was at Trinity Valley Community College where he coached both offensive and defensive lines as well as the running backs and fullbacks. Before TVCC, he spent two years as the defensive ends coach at his alma mater, Angelo State University. Crill graduated with both his Bachelor’s (2002) and Master’s (2004) Degrees in Kinesiology from Angelo State. Crill has two daughters Cathryn and Kaylee.

Separated at birth Biff Tannen from BTTF?

My girlfriend works at Carrollton ISD and just found out her part time teaching gig has been terminated due to declining enrollment in not just Carrollton but also the region. It got me to thinking, will this end up affecting UNT enrollment at some point as well? Sure enough I did find an article about this and yes UNT is declining sadly. We had to make 8.5 million in cuts. It just seems like all public entities are dealing with layoffs as of late. My girlfriend and I both are not at all interested in working in the private sector so that is not an option for us. https://www.keranews.org/education/2024-09-13/enrollment-dip-and-rising-costs-lead-unt-to-make-8-5-million-in-cuts

Is that an official number? It seemed like more being there to me.

Any news on this project? https://meangreensports.com/feature/ac-expansion?sidearmRedirect=true#renderings Looks like it will be pretty awesome once completed. Could really help us in recruiting.

I feel like ridiculously is a little strong for me personally but I do agree with the overall point you are trying to make here.

It does appear that they plan to take it to court. I do not think an extended courtroom fight benefits anyone. They will ultimately settle.

Sounds like a solid addition to the team.

To my understanding he prefers to be called Jon Jon.

BOCA RATON, Florida – Riding a four-game win streak, the UNT men’s basketball team is at Florida Atlantic Thursday aiming to clinch a top four seed in the 2025 American Athletic Conference Tournament. The Mean Green (20-6, 11-3) and Owls (15-12, 8-6) are scheduled to tip off from Boca Raton, Florida, at 6 p.m. CT. The game will be broadcast on the Mean Green Sports Network, presented by Learfield and on ESPN2.

For the posters on here who complain about NIL and paying players I hope you are reading this as another very short term coach uses UNT as a stepping stone to get another couple grand of pay. I have no problem with him wanting more money but he is doing this on the shoulders of the young men who actually play the game and deal with lifetime injuries. Get off you high horse and let's start paying these players what they deserve.

You are correct. But it is sad to me that we will no longer get to follow high school player careers at UNT.

He will have a critical role for us down the stretch with Jon Jon nursing his leg.

DALLAS – Junior Kamryn Wong and sophomore Sydney Guidara continued their stranglehold on the American Athletic Conference Championship diving events on Thursday, as the UNT duo claimed gold and silver, respectively, in the 1-meter springboard event following Wednesday's gold medal in the team diving event, along with freshman Amelia Sharp. Wong won the event with a score of 310.90 to top her teammate Guidara, who took second with a score 290.30, giving her her second individual silver medal in as many years at the meet after taking silver on the 3-meter board last year. "I'm so happy to be here with everyone and so grateful for the support of the team," Wong said. "Everyone did great today, and I'm excited I got to share the podium with Syd." Prior to Wednesday's team diving gold medal, UNT had never won an event at the AAC Championships and had never won a diving conference championship in its program's history. Before Wednesday, it had been six years since UNT had won a conference championship in swimming. Now, the Mean Green have two in two nights. "The strength of this team has been so amazing all year long," associate head coach/diving coach Stephanie O'Callaghan said. "I'm so proud of all of them for the work and effort they've put in and it definitely paid off today. It was such an impressive showing across the board. ...It's not easy to hold your standings from prelims, and they stayed locked in and consistent. I couldn't ask for a better end to the night than seeing them up on the podium together." The diving pair weren't the only UNT student-athletes to find themselves on the medal stand on Thursday, as senior Shaena McCloud claimed a bronze medal in the 50 freestyle with a time of 22.57 to also give her an NCAA B-Cut time. "I'm really excited for and proud of Shaena, and all of her work she has put into to the 50 free," head coach Brittany Roth said. "The work she's put in the weight room with (strength and conditioning coach) Tavion Pleasant has given her so much strength and power, and her skill and detail work with (assistant coach) Justin Hastings has helped her fine tune her efforts. Shaena's such a strong leader, and she's been a fighter since Day 1. I've loved watching her grow throughout her career, and getting the bronze tonight in such a fast field is really outstanding." The 200 freestyle relay, which McCloud anchored, narrowly missed a spot on the podium in the night's final event. The team of Samantha Robles, Scarlett McCloud, Indra Vandenbussche and Shaena McCloud finished with a time of 1:31.72 to set a new school record. The meet will continue with Day 3 of 4 on Friday and will be broadcast on ESPN+.

Dude needs to be benched period. That’s on Ross.

I mean they lost by 2 points. I refuse to crucify or bail on them for that.

Deeply saddened right now. Hoping tomorrow I will find a silver lining.

Probably was a fan of Craponi.
