From the supporters or from the team?

I think we’ve developed a nice pipeline from the juco ranks. But, with our recent success the past few years, I’m hoping for guys from major conferences to realize what UNT has going for them right now. You still have to recruit the major juco players, tho. You also have to look at P5 kids who are part of a rotation that may want more burn. We have to build up from here on out

Thanks. I read it. I somehow feel we will have a much better OL than last year.

Doh!

Looks like we get the winner between Providence/ St. John’s. Wouldn’t it be sweet to face another pre-season opponent for another revenge game.

Wow! We closed the game! Just learn to hit FTs in pressure situations.

Why are our 80% FT shooters missing these?

Bit of a flop there by the LSU guard I think

Play smart ball. LSU will be aggressive defensively. Draw the foul

Exactly. Play mean green bball - slow temp milking the clock. Let LSU put pressure on themselves with each possession

Maybe instead of them trying to drive it all the way, pull up for the mid range if the lane isn’t open all the way. Mix it up some

Seems to have a little more energy tonight

What a terrible shot by JE. Makes the nice steal and just jacks up a contested 3. Come on, man

As long as the unveiling looks better than last year.

Anyone have any news about the spring practices? Anyone looking good/not so good? Been thirsting for some UNT football news of late.

From what I’ve read, he definitely has a nice skill set and a winning pedigree. But, I’m a little concerned about the size. Sub 6’. Maybe Hodge will utilize an offense to effectively showcase his skills instead of just throwing the ball to Aaron down low to operate or going iso.

I’m hoping for this also, but are we a program in the eyes of prospects to be a destination point? Unfortunately, I don’t think we’re quite there yet. We out need to keep winning and making noise. Recruit juco players and transfers from big programs like this past season and we can make progress.

I hope they recruit hard at the juco level for size. If most come back and we add size up front, that’s progress. Coach Hodge needs to improve on offensive sets. Too many iso plays out on the wing or back down dribble offense. Anyways, hopefully they give our new recruits a shot at the rotation next season. Anyways, we didn’t do as well as I was hoping, but we never backed down from any team. We were competitive against everyone with the exception of one or two teams if I recall. Hope the guys see that and feel they have unfinished business for next season.

Ultimately, they have shot makers. We need to play perfect down the stretch. Very hard to do

Exactly. I just don’t think AScott has much of a game plan once he’s down there. I prefer CJ

For them to win, they have to capitalize on every opportunity. The guys missed a lot of layups and shots up close. Also saw them force passes to cutters too often which caused turnovers. Glad Buggs stepped up and buried a few 3s. I want him to be more aggressive offensively moving forward.

Let’s just have spring ball first. Then, we can panic in the fall.

Rod Brown lost 20lbs?! Now he’s gonna play NT @ 290-295lbs?! Not liking this

So which players are eligible to come back next season? I know Rubin, Allen and AScott are seniors.

If he was a LBs coach at top collegiate programs, it makes you wonder why he would come to a G5 program in the same capacity. Could he be a potential DC replacement if Craponi sucks it up? It’s not like they’re oozing talent at LB that a coach is drooling to coach these players. I’m thinking there’s more to it
