Ran into coach a couple of weeks ago and he had mentioned we will not recognize next years team. Player he was most excited about was Duffy!

Wooly, with his slash to the basket he could probably increase his point total by 20-30% by improving his free throws.

Would really like to get rid of the press box SECTION at center court. Do they have press box sections anymore? Terrible waste of space!

See you Wednesday! GMG

Not a terrible waste at all since there are still plenty of open sits on the sides, behind and across the court. I also see those seats filled far more than other sections.

Center court is prime seating as we all know. You are also looking at green box fronts with 1 person taking the space of maybe 4. Have not seen this at any other venue. I believe it is old school?

If we could make a run through the conference tourney next year while we still have home court advantage, I'd love us to see us in the NCAAs again. This team isn't afraid of anybody, and I feel with another year of experience this team could pull off an upset or two of a major conference team.

I agree that all those green boxes need to go and be turned into regular seats!

The upper half of them are already loge seats.   You get seat side food service there.

Yea I read something about the change, but it would be nice to have a complete row of seats to fill up with rowdy fans. I dream of a packed out pit one day.

And have a $1000 MGSF requirement per seat. The AD can't replace the scholarship fund or ticket revenue by replacing the loge seats with standard seats.

I can scratch a packed pit (basketball) off my bucket list:

"It was also highly lauded upon completion, holding first and second round games of the 1976 NCAA Basketball Tournaments.[8] North Texas has compiled a winning percentage of over .640 at the Pit. During the 1975-1983 era under men’s coach Bill Blakeley, North Texas, playing primarily as an independent, recorded three twenty-win seasons, its first-ever top-20 ranking, the four biggest crowds in Super Pit history and memorable wins over Texas, Kansas State and a sell-out crowd against SMU, which to this date, is the highest-attended basketball game at the arena."

Said it before, but my Mom went into labor with my older brother at that SMU game.  Pop and her left at the half.  

 

You would think he would have been the one to like sports, but he doesn't at all.  :)

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      Culturally speaking, UNT and Denton just don’t care about the teams here. If people do care, they get made fun of or looked at as if they have 3 heads. But if someone loathes our teams and is a student, professor, administrator, or citizen of Denton, they get all kinds of attention and praise from the others. It’s a town that loves being anti-establishment and going against the grain. And sports are most definitely at the top of the establishment definition to these people.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      I'm not trying to scold anyone here, but what's it gonna take for more people to come out and support our basketball teams? And other sports - softball and women's soccer are always solid, and volleyball just made a promising coaching hire. Our basketball teams are a combined 23-9, which is the best in The American. They're also a combined 17-1 at The Super Pit. But no one is showing up for games. I don't want this to turn into a bitch fest about our marketing. It is probably deserved, but the people on this board likely follow our athletics department on some other social media or email list. Every Monday on Twitter I see a post about what teams are playing at home this week. I know some aren't a big fan of basketball, do you dislike it more than you like the Mean Green? Many are rightfully getting turned off by NIL and the transfer portal. I don't blame you. But the coaching staff for the men are putting together its' school record eighth straight winning season. With Burton, the women won't be far behind. In football, I get it adds up for a family of four - tickets, parking, concessions. But the other five spectator sports offer free parking and normally a hella great ticket deal. Season tickets for basketball start at $99 (like $6.50/home game). If you like soccer, softball, and/or volleyball, an Olympic pass will get you a GA ticket for every home game for $75 (less than $2/ticket!). Again, not trying to call out the board, just want to raise awareness for our other sports, especially if you are feeling sour about football. Come out to The Pit at least one time the remainder of the season! The men and women deserve it. Next women's home game is this Wednesday, 1/15 at 6:30pm against defending conference champ Rice. The men play at home a week after that on the 22nd against Temple - last year's conference runner-up. Or, if you live in the Central Texas or Houston area, look for upcoming games at UTSA next Saturday, 1/18 and at Rice Tuesday, 2/11. GMG!
