One of my coworkers has a niece on Tech's team.  You want to see history in the making?  Come by my fire station on game day.  There WILL be a soccer game on in a fire station in November in Texas.

with all due respect, UNT got totally f'd on this selection. They completely would have deserved a home game instead of an away game against a top 20 ranked big 12 champ who has the number 17 RPI and should be playing somebody way worse.

I would not expect anything else from the NCAA. The best way to rectify this is for our ladies to kick Tech's ass. We are in a pretty tough bracket and they will get some well-deserved respect when they make some noise.

One thing about these girls is that they know how to won. They are programmed to win and that creates a standard and an expectation. They have actually won more games than anyone in the country. I'll be rooting them on.

So why is Tech hosting and not us?  Money?  Prestige?  Ineptitude?  Just curious.

Uneducated guess here...Tech is ranked higher nationally than we are ? I really don't know how this bracket stuff is sorted out equitably. Or does the NCAA even make a pretense of being fair?

I don't know much how women's soccer works, but I am somewhat familiar with NCAA post season for non-revenue sports.

 

Yes.  They are probably trying to limit travel as much as possible for at least the first two rounds.

Yes.  There is probably some bias against teams who are there for the first time or who don't have a recent history of tournament wins.  Make some noise, get better treatment next year.

You don't think the NCAA be like it is but it do.

South Alabama is also hosting...

South Alabama has an RPI of 16 and are 26th in the coaches poll. UNT has an RPI of 36 and are 31st in the coaches poll. Looks like USA is a host based on their good RPI.

Didn't know that, thanks.

It does kind of beg the question if we (and to an extent Tech) got hosed. After you posted I looked for Tech's RPI (17). That means our first round matchup is the rough equivelant of 4/5 seed playing 8-11 seed.

Yup - we just need to go to Lubbock and take care of business.  We can beat Tech... should be a very good game.

If/when we win, Tech probably will feel like they were hosed having to play the CUSA Champ in the first round.

      This is what I call a “growth game.” This is the kind of game Hodge can use the film from to show the team the razor thin margin between winning and losing against the best teams in our league. If we are who we hope we are, our team walks away from this knowing we CAN beat anyone come conference tourney time, we just have to execute.

      plus let's not forget a Haggerty prayer from 30' going in. we're likely not into the foul game in the last minute or so without that bucket

      Great game, Memphis is a good team and this one came down to the end. However I am still baffled by UNT's inability to inbound the ball, this is a trend that has been going on for a few seasons now. There were several times today that they would inbound the ball directly into a corner trap, many of those instances resulted into a turn over.

      Mean Green Fall At No. 21 Memphis, 68-64

      The Mean Green (10-4, 1-1) got a career performance from senior big man Moulaye Sissoko who poured in a career-high 17 points on eight shots and grabbed a game-high eight rebounds in the four-point defeat. North Texas’ Brenen Lorient scored a team-high 18 points and was one of four different Mean Green players to score in double figures. Senior Jasper Floyd had 11 points to go along with a season-high six assists. UNT outrebounded the nationally ranked Tigers (12-3, 2-0) 30-21and forced them into 15 turnovers and just seven assists. “If you have told me we would force them into 15 turnovers and just seven assists and outrebound them by nine I would have really liked our chances,” said head coach Ross Hodge. “But it was that stretch in the second half where we didn’t handle their press well and we ended with 16 turnovers. We’ll regroup together and get better from this together.” The Mean Green have a quick turnaround as they host Rice on Wednesday at Super Pit at 8 p.m. CT. UNT is 8-0 at home this season. The game will be broadcast on the Mean Green Sports Network, presented by Learfield and ESPNU.
