The road to LSU goes through Denton. 

I'm personally surprised to hear of this.  If I was an LSU supporter and I heard the Tigers were getting another re-tread from North Texas, and one with a 5 year non-winning record as well, I'd question the judgement of the LSU Athletic Dept and the new head coach.  But that's just me.

I hope I'm wrong, but I have a hunch I'll be reading, "Breaking News: Combs to LSU" in the next few days.

That is quite possible. I don't want to hear  aj Lawson to lsu

Combs is not an SEC player. Would be a huge mistake

a). I wonder how his assistant pay will compare to his head coach pay and,

b)  I wonder what the LSU Fan board has to say about the hire.  Who had a LSU fan link ?

This is what Benford is supposed to be--a recruiter at a Power Conference school with lots of resources and a plethora of talent surrounding him. He doesn't need to x's and o's anything and Will Wade won't ask him to do that. He will plant him in every gym in LA, MS, and TX to get the Tigers some great talent.

Thanks again, RV...the $hittiest of his hires, if you ask me. Worse than Dodge just due to what he took over and what he left behind--with absolutely no success at all and an attendance plummet that may not be recovered here for years ahead, if ever...

      Painful loss…

      This loss was not painful, Lonnie...it didn't hurt anything at all. Just showed that the guys will fight back to the end. Literally, nothing changed from losing this close one.

      Painful loss…

      With as poorly as we played, we fought back in the second half and had a chance to pull off a major comeback win. Kudos to the players and coaches for making Fisher and the crowd sweat this one out. I kinda felt this one coming, but as the second half went on, I also thought this was going to be such a North Texas way to win a basketball game. Just didn't work out for us. Regroup and lock-in for the real prize.

      Women’s Hoops Begins AAC Tournament Monday Night Against ECU

      DENTON, Texas — The UNT women’s basketball team will kick off its postseason run against East Carolina Monday night in the quarterfinals at the American Athletic Conference Championship. The second-seeded Mean Green and No. 7 Pirates will meet for the second time this season with tip-off set for 6 p.m. CT at Dickies Arena. The teams have met twice in the last two seasons with both contests going into multiple overtimes and resulting in UNT victories. North Texas won in Denton, 93-91, in four overtimes on Feb. 27, 2024, in what was the longest game in program history. This season, the Mean Green took a return trip to Greenville where they used a second-half comeback to send the game into overtime. Jaaucklyn Moore’s game-tying 3-pointer in the first overtime eventually led to a 73-71 victory after Jaelyn Talley made a go-ahead layup in double overtime. The Mean Green will look to avenge last season’s early exit at the conference tournament when they fell to Rice, 61-59, in the quarterfinals. For the second straight year, UNT enters as the No. 2 seed following a 23-7 regular season. This year’s team put together a 15-3 mark in league play, marking the most conference wins in program history. East Carolina will play for a second straight day after defeating No. 10 Memphis, 64-45, Sunday afternoon. First Team All-AAC selection Amiya Joyner led the Pirates with 21 points and 11 rebounds. Monday’s game will be streamed on ESPN+ and can be heard on the Varsity Network App with Zac Babb on the call. WHAT 2 WATCH 4 • UNT will begin its postseason against East Carolina on Monday night in the quarterfinals of the AAC Championship. • UNT's 23 wins this season is tied for the most in program history with last season's squad. • North Texas earned the No. 2 seed and a double bye to the quarterfinals at the AAC Tournament for a second consecutive season. • Tommisha Lampkin, Desiree Wooten and Aniyah Johnson represented UNT on the conference's postseason awards. POSTSEASON AWARDS • Tommisha Lampkin became the first UNT player to earn First Team all-conference honors since Terriell Bradley in 2017-18. • Lampkin was a unanimous selection to the All-AAC First Team by the league's coaches after leading the conference in double doubles, rebounding and FG%. She was the lone player in the conference to average a double double on the season. • Desiree Wooten earned the first all-conference honors of her career being named to the All-AAC Second Team and the All-AAC Defensive Team. The sophomore guard averaged 11.3 points per game, while ranking No. 3 in The American with 50 steals. • Aniyah Johnson joined Wooten on the league's All-Defensive Team in her senior year. She collected 176 rebounds on the season and was fourth in the AAC with 24 blocks during conference play. A WIN WOULD... • Make UNT 24-7 on the year, setting a program record for wins in a season • Advance the Mean Green to the semifinals of the AAC Championship
