NT played very good first half, lead 35-24.  Good half by Tamara and Woolridge.   

Of course, NT has played well in a lot of first halves, and than crumble in the second.

Sure.  Immediately accompanied by a "Thanks.  Bye"

Just too bad it couldn't come at the Pit so the dozen students in the Pit Crew could rush the court.

Women win too, doing what a decent team should do to FAU: dominate (79-57). That is now two wins in a row, now 5-6 in conference and starting to look fairly ggod for making the conference tournament, maybe even an okish seed.

Dominate? I attended the game, and while the final score appears that UNT dominated they actually did no such thing...the game was definitely in doubt at half (3-5 point lead for UNT) and it wasn't under control until the last 2/3rds of the 4th quarter. Way way too many turnovers and some early poor shooting by UNT allowed a pretty poor FAU team to hang around.  Now, that being said...this Jalie Mitchell team never quits and never seems out of a game...even when playing a tad poorly early.  They just hang in and find a way to win.  A sign of a good team is one that beats a team they should beat even when playing not up to the top of their game.  This was tonight and may have been a bit expected...playing a team with a bottom feeder record when coming off a big comeback road win in their last game.  So, yes, you are exactly right...they did what they should have done...but, dominate...not so much.  I think we might just see that dominate win by the ladies Saturday over FIU.  Ladies seem to be getting it together, in spite of some injury issues, just at the right time as the conference tourney looms.  Ladies looking good to make the tournament any be the team that no other team really wants to play.

Congrats to both the women and men tonight.  Light that tower double green!

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
