I hope our fans are excited about this team. Yes, they stumbled down the stretch, but we're in the tournament. We haven't sniffed the tournament in years. And we're so young to boot. I'm optimistic about the future of this program.

NT didn't get into the tourney last year, that is the only CUSA tournament that they didn't qualify.   Getting into the tournament is not much of an accomplishment.   To not get in is very bad.  

Winning 1 out of the last 6 is certainly limping into tournament play.  I think it is a shame because I believe NT could have had a massive home court advantage with a little momentum.   I fear the NT crowd is going to be disappointing now.

Make it into the semifinals and that will change quickly.

Sadly, agree. That UTEP loss is just a soul crushing thud to end the regular season.  Hope I’m wrong about the NT contingent for the tourney. I’ll be there regardless.

I agree, but will be there with bells on...the tournament is really exciting and the neutral court makes it almost anyone's game.

I won't be able to make the drive in for the tourney and I am really curious to hear what everyone thinks about The Star as the venue.  The seating configuration looks horrible.

You can buy single session tickets on Ticketmaster as well. 

Here's the link:

https://www1.ticketmaster.com/conference-usa-mens-first-round-session-frisco-texas-03-07-2018/event/0C005431D7A07E64?artistid=2456270&tm_link=tm_homeA_header_search

Use offer Code "NTMen" and the tickets reduce to $15.

Women's session tickets are also $15 under "NTWomen"

Thanks to both of you, but my question is about the seats that are not the GA "football" seating but the seating on the court sidelines. can these be bought as singles?

EDIT: AND IM AN IDIOT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOW ADDED THIS ON THE LINK

any word from McCasland on # of suits?

not to be negative, but he can just drive home and get another one if need be....  Seriously though, do we know if the team is even staying in Frisco?  Wouldn't it make just as much since to bus back to campus after each game and sleep in your own bed?

Would depend on the league's contract. Some sites require all teams to be on-site in a contracted hotel until eliminated. Other contracts don't have that provision. The preference of the coach and AD of course would matter as well.

      G5 Rep up to #4 in latest CFP

      Honestly, there’s a 0.000000001% chance 2 G5s get in. They will plug any of several SEC teams before they let 2 G5s in.

      MAC BROWN

      I don’t think Mack Brown’s the answer here either, but let’s not pretend McCarney is anywhere near Brown in terms of head coaching success. Brown would be a huge upgrade.

      The Band

      Our oldest is in the Oklahoma State band. They seem to focus on the entertainment more than anything else. The last halftime show had them playing “Bye Bye Bye” by NSYNC. Their pregame is just the fight song, Oklahoma, and a stand tune. Then they wait around while special guests lead the in game chants. In game playing is fun. They play iron man, dies irae, stuff like that. They play off the DJ better than we do. There’s usually no playing over eachother, though it does happen. The quality is fine. They have a new director. Last years quality was lacking.

      MAC BROWN

      Kicking has been bad, punting is average at best, and we allowed the onside kick against UTSA. Those are my main complaints. There's only about 25 teams (quick count) that have allowed a kickoff return for a TD and we're one of them. Special teams certainly wasn't a weapon this year which to me means it has the potential to be a problem. Regarding Morris being aggressive because the defense is bad, I just disagree. I'll refer to the Navy game last year going for it on 4th and goal on the first drive. It was game 5 of his tenure. He did it again on the first drive against Memphis last year. Two games we lost by 3 where he passed up the field goal attempt on the first drive of the game all within his first 7 games. If he didn't trust the defense that much 7 games in to his coaching career here but yet kept Caponi for year 2, that's a fireable offense on his own. Now to EM acting as an OC and not HC, this is his 6th year as a division 1 head coach. Are we really making this excuse for him? Honestly all of this makes me wish he'd get an OC job somewhere and leave.
