The discussion was UNT vs the SEC. And you will not see a 17-14 Arkansas/Georgia/Texas team in the tournament. The SEC will see to that as quality teams are just going to be grinded to mush in the blender known as their conference schedule. There will be no bottom 1/4 of the SEC making the NCAA tournament. The talk of 13 teams is just for social media engagement. The true discussion is UNT as an At-Large vs a 10th/11th place SEC team as an At-Large. The 10th.11th place SEC teams have a much better "resume" and it won't be close. I read "very quality low major" and thought TEMU. 😄

I don't think all of college basketball is out to get North Texas. The argument that no one wants to play UNT does not hold water. An excellent opportunity for Quad 1 opportunities are MTEs. We choose those. We are typically one of the last teams in the NCAA to finalize our schedule. Why? Uconn, Michigan, USC, Duke, etc all decline our attempts? Take control of the schedule and Wayland Baptist, Texas Wesleyan, and Houston Christian would not be season highlights. We could have increased our Quad numbers/record vs projected tournament teams, but we lost to McNeese, we lost to Utah State, we lost to High Point, and we lost to Memphis. Non tournament teams lose to tournament teams. Which teams have we defeated that are currently projected to be a tournament team? 16 wins vs non tournament teams and 0 wins vs tournament teams is not the argument you want to make to a selection committee. Control your own destiny and secure the AQ bid. Our current schedule/record is not tournament worthy. 10 of the 16 teams in the SEC are ranked in the Top 25. They are going to take losses because they have to play each other. South Carolina/Arkansas to the AAC are 8-0 / 7-1 not 0-8. Oklahoma/Texas/Georgia/Arkansas are 8-0. Imagine playing 10 Top 25 ranked teams (some twice) in an 18 game conference schedule. Brutal - absolutely brutal. We beat 11-9 (now 11-10) Wichita State on the road by 4. Trade Wichita State for Florida who has an average margin of victory of +27 at home. I can really see UNT beating Alabama on the road and Auburn in the Pit. Odd discussion re UNT vs the SEC.

I am sorry that my comment was offensive. I looked at their preseason ranking + returning coach/cast + current record + current history of building large in game leads and losing = god awful I stand corrected. They are a really good team but have had some bad luck. Best of luck to UAB ending their run of bad luck. Again, I apologize.

UAB is god awful.

They waited to see if the shot went in. In - No call. Miss - Call with 0.1 secs on clock. No lose situation!

Well it appears as though Houston Christian did indeed get us prepared.

And to think some doubted us!! UAB sucks in the 2nd half of games.

I'll take the call, but that call was horrible. Now we wait for the makeup call.

NIT Sissoko is in the building. 7-0 run!!!!

UAB has blown big leads this year. Expecting the real UAB (7-6) to show up the 2nd half.

Halftime UNT 31 UAB 48

Jossell trying to keep us in it with another 3. He has 4 3s

We have neutralized Lendenborg

absolute insanity

went snooping and agree we could use him for a game or two
