Thanks to Vito, we know the highlights and score probably 24 hours before ESPN would tell us.  Women take down SMU 60-57.  So Jalie's first two wins as a HC are to upset a Top 25 OU team and then knock off SMU at home.  The other games were all fairly close, too, so I'd say her debut is already a smashing success in the first 5 games, even with the overall record only being 2-3.

Watching this game made me recognize two things.   One, Petersen had more talent on his squad than i thought.  Two, he was an even worse coach than I thought.

Jalie has really got this team playing well.  SMU was huge and NT's best post player spent more of the night on the bench, yet they still won.  Bravo, Coach Mitchell and a very scrappy team.

What was so great watching this game in person was watching how Jalie handled the team when they lost a twelve point lead to go down two late.  No panic...just a look of confidence that she was in control and the players knew it.  These ladies play some tough defense and move the ball with a much more up tempo style than the last few years.  They are fun to watch.  Doing this with nine players...playing an up tempo style and tough defense can take it out of a team with limited substitutes.  Not these ladies.  They play!  Proud of these ladies.  Great win tonight!  So much fun seeing them leave the court with such big smiles on their faces.

As has been said before...these ladies deserve to have more folks come out in support.  They are earning that respect.  Here's hoping the Mean Green Nation respond.

Great win!  Again, what will happen to this program when Jalie gets her players in here?? Amazing turnaround.

Next year looks to be even better. Four transfers sitting out this season.

Agreed. I took in my first women's game of the season tonight and I love the way Jalie handles the game. She's always composed even when she needs to chew a little tail. These ladies are vastly improved over last year and they deserve our full support.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      These conference wishlists are fun to discuss but in no world should UNT share a conference with Tarleton State and SHSU in 2025 lol I’d love being in the PAC as long as some other AAC members follow as a package. That conference wouldn’t be as friendly regionally but there would definitely be more opportunities for national recognition in the PAC especially in basketball.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      TXST in the same conference would be fun, but there are a lot of great moves to make... many of the current teams in our conference need to be kicked out first to avoid cheapening the media payout.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      Before the PAC2 raided the MWC, I had been a supporter of joining a rebuilt PAC, as long as it was a true "Western Conference" of D1, and we shared a nice little 6-8 division with the likes of Memphis, UTSA, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, Tulane, and a Rice or Tulsa. But it did not appear the PAC was going to bring enough programs close to DFW to make the added travel and exit fees worth it. Still don't know how the MWC held onto UNLV and Nevada, otherwise it'd be an even crappier conference than CUSA. But unlike the PAC7, it will still be recognized as an FBS conference next July. Doesn't seem like Memphis, Tulane, and USF will be going there, especially with an unknown TV deal. Ultimately I think with realignment, one of the G6 leagues will dissolve. The American struggles by being a league with several new teams, no notable rivalries, and no regional tie like the PAC, SBC, MWC, and MAC claim. And there are plenty of moves we could make to improve across many sports, but the league is so saturated. If it were up to me, I'd get Rice, Tulsa, Charlotte, Temple out of the conference. Force FAU and UTSA to find a solution to their high school gyms. Add Texas State, James Madison, Liberty, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Louisiana. That would create a 16-team conference with a 8-team West Division UNT would share and play annually against with UTSA, TXST, Tulane, Louisiana, Memphis, Western Kentucky, and UAB. Instead of playing frickin' Temple three times in three years. That would leave us at 15 teams for basketball, I'd add up to three non-football members between Dayton, St. Louis, VCU, Richmond.
