Tough road game to start the conference slate.  Early start at 10:50am.

30-15 Charlotte.  typical UNT game - cold shooting and turnovers lets opponent get hot.  Charlotte raining threes down.  Hopefully they can turn it around but the defense against the 3 has been horrid.

[chrisfisher]

This is the same old Benford garbage-style play. We actually have some excellent talent on the team, including a McDonald's All American, but Benford coaching so terrible he makes his players appear as those they have no skills or talent. Our players can't play with confidence because we have no coherent offensive strategy, not to mention horrible defense.  

Please, please, please AD, end this nightmare. Fire Benford. This is his fifth year, and he is incompetent and destroyed our once blossoming bball program. 

Announcer says, UNT helping Charlotte with quick shots and turn overs... then says, "This is looking like the streets of New York." Street-ball is actually a compliment for Benford.

44-23 - seriously this is depressing to listen to.  No adjustments, no direction just a flat out embarrassing showing.  At this rate another game that will be over by halftime.  Dave keeps saying Charlotte is hot which is true but can we not play defense?  Ugh

[chrisfisher]

Getting blown out by a mediocre Charlotte team. I can't watch this garbage. Turning off the game at halftime unless something changes in a hurry. To painful to watch. 

[chrisfisher]

Announcers just said, UNT taking fast, silly shots, waisting opportunities, and playing right into Charlotte hands. They actually said our play is "silly." that's a quote.

Don't want to see if the halftime adjustments are effective?

It is so bad we already have a walk on in... 

Benford needs to sit these guys down and let them know that not everybody gets to play. I understand we are deep and have a lot of talent, but playing everybody is not allowing for anybody to get a rhythm. 

[chrisfisher]

More announcer quotes, "I have not been impressed with North Texas offensively. They are very undisciplined."  I like these guys. Our coaching is so terrible, announcers can't help but point it out.

52-30 halftime.  Embarrassing.

[chrisfisher]

Down 22 at the half. Peace out! 

[UNT90]

Terrible road team. Two new additions won't matter. Can't wait until the inevitable happens. 

Poor Tony Benford. Nothing is ever his fault...

[risinggreen]

Glad I didn't know we were playing today and I won't be turning it on. The extended hangover from the HOD loss is enough to deal with.

[Matt from A700]

Asking again: Are "Fire Benford" signs allowed in the Pit?

If not, nobody can stop the crowd from chanting.

[UNT90]

Prediction: 

UNT has seen the .500 mark for the last time this season. 

[CMJ]

 

Charlotte 101

North Texas 76

 

 

Final

 

 

 

I didn't even feel like listening.   Good call.

Brutal. But hey, it's not like we have anyone to take over for him so let's just tell the fanbase BOHICA.

And we can thank Rick Villarreal for this nightmare of a coach.
