The people here complaining about winning against bad teams in basketball baffle me when I go to the football board and see "winning is all that matters" in their signature.

Ditto. If there is ever a point down the road that the WAC and the Sun Belt need to merge, it's at least a good chip to have when dealing with those presidents/institutions already.

I blame Whitney Houston.

No doubt we could have used them. But, we still have other guys on the bench that could have stepped in a stopped something. I have to say, there was some questionable subbing down the stretch while up by 19.. but hindsight is 20/20.

Not really an excuse in this game... Not when we're up 19.

Niko's game really fits well with zones.

For what it's worth, I heard these rumors 6 months ago. I was hoping this news to be a little more firm by now...

They will be here next year, I'm sure. They looked to be showing around a couple recruits with the coaches during the women's game. They probably wouldn't be doing that if their intent was to leave.

Middle hit a couple tough shots, but when left to get a good look, they nailed it 9 times out of 10. That is exactly why they are at the top of the conference right now. Dendy was okay, but I thought Marcos Knight might have had been the most surprising player for MT.

Really would just appreciate the hell out of a bad ass highlight video shot in hd with music. It can't be that much to ask...

There have been studies done on this. They were talking about it on the radio the other day. Schools across the entire board have seen dips in attendance in the past few years. It might be because more are working through school. Who knows.

Been reading the Middle board a bit lately. They think we are a one man show, which I suppose since we are without Jones and Williams, it would appear so. They are admitting to not following us that closely and can't imagine Mitchell is any better than Dendy or the Center they just played at Vanderbilt in Festus Elezi. During this winning streak they also feel slighted that Dendy didn't get Player Of the Week. I know they've been excited about their streak and rightfully so, but you'd think they would pull their head out of the sand to look at what could happen in conference. So, of course, I had to look up the stats. Keep in mind Tony is a freshman. Enjoy. Dendy v Mitchell Stats I'm positive that Kermi will have them ready to get Tony into foul trouble, but their fans are really taking Mitchell lightly. This post has been promoted to an article

Thought that pass was a little too hard to expect Franklin to be expected to handle 90% of the time. Was a sure basket if he could have, however. Real nice to see him find Kedrick around the basket. With him (Ked) working himself back into shape and Tony taking so much coverage, I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing that connection more often as teams cheat on Kedrick to play tougher on Tony. Nice to see some fortune turning our way.

We are fortunate to have someone like Johnny at the helm who seems genuinely happy and proud to be here. Fans are quick to point out that we will be here long after coaching staffs have moved on, but this is a staff who has been around as long as I have been a fan. There is no doubt in my mind that this is a staff that cares and wants to be here. Happy to have him here. We have more potential to land some big recruits in the future. Having one Tony Mitchell is great. The thought of having other highly regarded ballers coming to play at North Texas is sweet. *crossing my fingers*

Actually, I think the first half was one of the sharper halves of basketball this team has played. In fact, the game in general was very sharp for us as a team. It is really nice and timely for both Holmen and Hogans to have joined the team again. Holmen's defense was useful, and Hogans big body box outs was very nice to see. Good signs today. I don't see how anything bad could be said about today's outting. Edit: Also, free throw shooting by both teams was very solid. Alonzo missed those last 2 for us and I think A State maybe only missed 3 all game. For us to push a lead to 20 against them shows great improvement over our previous meeting. Looking forward to Thursday.

Prior to the game starting I mentioned that I didn't recognize them, and that was a good thing because it probably meant they were one of the better crews. It turns out, they were. Also an interesting tidbit: I heard the director of Sun Belt officiating was in attendance today.

Yes, Quite the turn around. I assume it's a combination of these 2, but I wonder how good Aston is or how bad Shanice Stephens is/was. Were you watching games when Aston was an assistant at UNT? Also, Godbolt will be the 13th Mean Green player, NCAA player, or conference player to do so?

Tony checks in at 10th for CBS Freshman of the Year

Karen Aston called Louisiana Lafayette a "Good Team" in the post game. Such generic coach speak. She should be fired.

This internets is for serious posting only, sir. Edit: Also Dozer, thanks for sharing. I know some have complained about not knowing what was being served or going on in the green room.

Ditto. I'm not a huge Women's basketball fan, but I like catching the last few minutes when it's before a mens game. I look forward to a day where we have enough fans/alumni interested enough in whatever floats their boat to make any UNT event a success no matter when it's held. Also, I'm really surprised that this is in the basketball board. Right where the womens basketball thread should be. Maybe Kram is right, maybe he should start an alumni association announcements forum for all serious talk (only) about the alumni association.

Your engrish is lacking.

Any of the decommits attributed to Bowen leaving?

Yea Harry, I'd expect to see it sometime today or tomorrow on their site. Also a story set to air on KDAF ch. 33 tonight.
