He definitely is. I'm just used to seeing him as an offensive player. It always threw me a little when Coach would throw Davis and Spencer Sanders in on defense. It usually worked, yes, but there was that momentary feeling of "Wait, what?!? ...oh, right!"

Ok, I thought I saw Spencer Sanders in a highlight video from an Allen offensive player but I wasn't sure if they doubled up on numbers.

No, that was Sanders. He got put in on defense for several plays during the Amarillo Tascosa game too.

Thats called putting your Alpha dog on the field and trusting him to make plays. I like that personally.  When it gets down to the time when you need something put your play makers on the field. Especially at the HS level

Oh, I get it, believe me. I'm pretty sure he was on defensive plays in other games as well; those two are just the ones I remember. We had several players who played both ways when necessary. That team may not have gotten past Allen (which is 2.5x larger than Ryan), but there is some special talent there.

It did seem odd to see him still in on D when that Allen game was already decided...

I don't know the logic, but that team could really band together and surprise you. Maybe they were hopeful or... something.

Yes, Ryan will be a handful in 5a.... Seriously going to put some whoopings on this level..

Good movie... Better defensive position. I think he will be a good fit.

      No one knows the specifics of the deal, it's not public knowledge. People are waiting for this year's tax returns so they can see the public data that shows how much each school made, and then see how much it changes over the next few years. So unfortunately all we know is that by the end of the contract everyone will be making the same amount, and that's it.

      Temple (1/22/25)

      Sissoko has just been a different player in conference and I'm here for it. Lorient of course was MVP, but Massie and Floyd need some props for coming through this game. We really need for them to give us 6-8 points a game consistently and we are going to be looking good. Horrible foul call on Walker on that 3. Also they need to change the rules where you can't move your arm into a defenders hands that are already there to create contact for a foul, that's absurd. You can't even stand there as a defender? It needs to end.

      Temple (1/22/25)

      I don’t want to be that guy, but we have a good crowd for a great game and our defense was pretty much amazing all night. How do you sit in your hands and not get into the game? My wife and dogs thought I was crazy watching at home cheering on the good guys. I just don’t get it. The Pit should have been rocking. Students looked great, @greenjoe and I believe @Matt from A700 from shown a few times up and active along with others, but overall our crowd had got to get loud. I was never a fan of how NBA announcers cue the crowds but we may need to get Rob Coffee to start some “D-Fense” chants.

      Lorient’s Career Game Propels Mean Green To 76-67 Win Over Temple

      DENTON – The UNT men's basketball team remained undefeated at home with a 76-67 win over Temple Wednesday night in a battle between two teams atop the American Athletic Conference standings. Brenen Lorient recorded his first career double-double, scoring 20 points, which tied his career high and grabbing a career-high 13 rebounds and finishing with a career-high five blocks. Lorient has now put up double-digit scoring in five consecutive contests, where he's averaged 17.6 points per game and shot 62.8 percent from the field (27-43). With the win North Texas (14-4, 5-1) now holds the outright lead in the AAC. UNT and Temple (12-7, 4-2) were tied at 4-1 entering the day. "Home court advantages in basketball are real and I think our team felt it," head coach Ross Hodge said of the crowd and UNT student section. "[The game] was about what I expected — I have a ton of respect for Temple and respect for what coach [Adam] Fisher has built there." The Mean Green defense held strong on the night, holding the Owls to their fewest points scored in conference and fewest since Dec. 18 against Davidson. Temple's Jamal Mashburn Jr., who entered Wednesday 12th in the nation in scoring and averaging more than 20 points per game, was held in check by the Mean Green defense, going 5-23 from the floor and finishing with 16 points. Following Lorient in points on Wednesday for UNT was Johnathan Massie who finished with 13 points along with Jasper Floyd and Moulaye Sissoko who each scored 12 points. Sissoko extended his double-digit scoring streak to three games, the longest such streak of his career. The Mean Green continue their brief home stand on Sunday as they host Florida Atlantic. Tip-off is set for 1 p.m. at the Super Pit. For more information on UNT Basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or at ticketoffice@unt.edu. Fans can purchase tickets at www.meangreentickets.com or visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
