FAU 9 ---------- NT 0 18:01 to go Not a good start.

Yes, they think FAU will defeat USF in the league tourney.

Rubin Jones has been a stalwart during his time here, but retiring a number is well beyond the HOF. I'm not sure I'd retire anyone's jersey since I've followed UNT and I grew up in Denton with with two alumni parents. At the very least I'd have to really, really think about it. It's not just about what numbers you put up, but it's about what you mean to the school.

I mean, I do think you need to give coaches a bit of time to get things established, but in the day of endless transfers, the leash is definitely shorter. Not that someone can't completely turn it around in Year 1 (Burton just did it), but I don't think it's necessarily realistic to expect going from the basement to a title at the snap of a finger.

Plenty of teams win their conference regular season and wouldn't be close to being on the bubble if they lost their league tournament.

Don't we usually have 3-5 home games over winter break though?

One could just as easily blame alumni or Denton area residents given there are hundreds of thousands. The reality is it's growth. We just need to to continue! We average 4100+ this year...shoot for 4500+ next year, etc..

I'd prefer not playing FAU as late as possible. Even should we beat them on Wednesday, they're the team I least want to play in the tourney - even over USF. Once the regular season is over and March Madness really begins, I feel like they'll flip the switch. We all saw what they are capable of last year.

Right now the 7 seed gets FAU. I'd rather play Charlotte than the Owls.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I suppose it's possible one of those years we may have averaged a bunch of people - impossible to know.

Memphis is dangerous when they're hitting on all cylinders. They went on a 22-0 run in about five minutes of game time.

NT 77 ---------- ECU 59 3:48 to go The only real downer today is Scott has struggled with fouls and hasn't been able to play like he did the other night.

NT 71 ---------- ECU 50 7:29 to go Allen and Buggs are having huge afternoons.

NT 54 ---------- ECU 41 14:55 to go Nice run - Jones and Buggs hit threes. Matching our biggest lead today.

NT 40 ---------- ECU 29 Halftime Jones has 13 leading the way.

NT 31 ---------- ECU 24 4:36 to go Jones hits a trey forcing the Pirates to call a TO.

NT 23 ---------- ECU 22 7:54 to go Edwards with a three to put us back in front.

ECU 21 ---------- NT 20 8:30 to go Offenses have exploded the last few minutes - Jones leading the way for us.

NT 4 ---------- ECU 2 16:00 to go Took awhile to score. Both squads playing well on the defensive end.

They won in 2019. We hosted them in the NIT in 2022

He did graduate here though - again more than many former players can say.
