Houston was the first game.

We are ranked in the 60s. Not going to get an at large. Zero chance.

Looks like Wilcox birdied 18 and the first playoff hold to go from 1 down to 1 up. North Texas advances to the final 3-2 to play red hot MTSU.

Happy for him to get a chance to play closer to home.

The demise of the Pit Crew, for whatever reason it happened, was really what seemed to coincide with the decline in attendance. The Pit Crew was student run (SGA helped a lot with the organizing) and had major buy in from the Athletic Department. Bringing that back would be worth a try, but have no idea what appetite any of the above groups would have for it these days.

Yes, but the number coming out of Villanova makes a lot more sense than the number coming out of Gonzaga.

Should have, yes. But we don’t even have students show up to games anymore. Pre-pandemic. Student attendance has never even come close to reaching what it was in the last couple years of the Jones era.

Since Gonzaga is private I don’t think we actually know what Few makes.

We were way ahead of the game on social distancing at sporting events.

Allen ISD test scores are almost identical to Frisco which took the complete opposite approach.

I’m an outsider to Allen ISD, but they have a great reputation and are a desired school district. They made a choice that not many other districts have made, and that is to keep just the one high school despite massive size. If the residents disagreed with that decision they either would have 1) moved away, and maybe some have or 2) elected a school board with a different vision.

The reality is that Mac is our coach until he isn’t. Unless you are June Jones, that’s how things are done. I wouldn’t read too much into anything.

Closer to home than Charlotte.

Mccasland may be somewhat close, but I’ve never seen a coach at NT that hates losing as much as Karen Aston. In any sport. I think Mitchell has things headed in the right direction, and we need to be supporting her (a fellow alum) and her team as much as we can. With that said if the NT job happened to be open because Jalie moved on or otherwise, Aston would be my first call. She wasn’t even unsuccessful at Texas. 93-51 record in Big 12 play.

Nova. Not even close.

The unfortunate thing about this is it makes Purdue look like a fluke. Which it wasn’t. We very much needed to be competitive today.

We never had it because of Oral Roberts by that logic.

Does anyone else run into big time technical difficulties with Tune In on a computer?

So...UNLV played at the Snake Pit on 12/22/69. Was a 98-91 North Texas win. Edit: Does it count if the matchup was before their national championship?

I didn’t actually go back to look on that. I just assumed we played them in the Big West.

As far as North Texas opponents in Denton with a national title, I think the list is only six (6) though I may have missed something. Oklahoma State, San Francisco, Cincinnati, UTEP, Louisville, UNLV. It still amazes me UTEP is the only Texas school to have won it.

He didn’t just leave for a bigger position. He left for his alma mater. What we feel for North Texas, he feels for LSU. I will never fault him for that and wish him nothing but the best.

Well, for one it would be our first victory over a ranked opponent in close to 50 years.

Not sure how the seeding will work out, but if they are playing SMU I’ll physically go and root for the toppers.

If it was a regular ticketing scenario we would have been able to outnumber them more significantly.
