As a Dons fan, I was surprised to see the negativity here directed towards Simmons. From what I saw last night, he's the only skilled big on the UNT roster (Arikawe is energetic, but not particularly talented). 10 points, 22 boards for a freshman post, and people are hating on him? Ouch. I think Simmons will be a good one for you.

Simmons rebounding is awesome.  His biggest issue as a young player is situational awareness and picking up very early fouls in games. He’ll keep improving.

On a complete side note: The Dons offensive ball movement Monday night was a thing of beauty. That first half almost every one of those 3’s y’all made were uncontested open looks due to passing execution.

i was thinking more along the line of myself.

Don't look now, but North Texas is the last remaining CUSA team still playing.  Come on guys, let's get this series to Friday!!!

Should be plenty, but seating is first come first serve so get there early if there's a particular spot you like.

I cannot make it due to some conflicts.  Excited to see what the turnout is.  If it goes to game 3, I WILL be taking off work early to head to Denton!

GMG!!

Don't be surprised. On the football boards more than a few thought our true freshman QB wasn't good enough and might lose his job as a sophomore. Turned out he was All-Conference as a Soph. Seeing talent and keeping that in line with reality of experience etc. isn't a strength for all folks.

You’re nemesis has a section of tickets he’s trying to give away to anyone/everyone we can beg to come tonight.  

You might wanna email wren and complain in advance?

He should've communicated that on this forum. Because I wouldn't have paid for my own ticket(s). Darn. Oh wait, I'm not surprised there wasn't a post. 

 

He did post this regarding the Monday game.  Did you attend or is that too liberal and nerdy?

No I didn't fly in to go drink beer at a bar. 

Or travel back in time?

[TreeFiddy]

With the ticket website crashing when you try to order tickets and having to leave a message and wait for someone to call you back at the main ticket number there should be plenty of seats available for the game tonight.

No fraternities or sororities tonight, it is Greek Week. Hopefully the dorm students will show up. Go Mean Green!

And they are unable to alter their schedules?  I just emailed the greek life office requesting they encourage students to adjust their schedules and attend.

[Shark84]

Just found out that Greek activities have been cancelled tonight and that over 1000 greeks have redeemed tickets! Could be a fun environment! Go Mean Green!

That’s awesome. If all those students show up, this game could have the best atmosphere in the Pit since the TT and OSU games. Can’t wait!

Good luck. Greek week is planned way way way in advance, and its beyond unlikely. In "my day" this would've never happened. Would be cool though if it did. 

Proud of the Greeks for altering their schedule for this ball game.  I am sure my email had nothing to do with it, but I am taking credit!

If the guy behind me doesn’t stop yelling at McCasland to stop running man and run some I’m going to lose it haha. It’s every defensive possession and it’s loud haha.

Attendance looks solid on TV!!  Student turnout looks decent!
