Thanks for posting those clips!

No problem!!

So proud of this team.  What a ride.  We're going to need a bigger trophy case.

[greenjoe]

Best win/series in NT history.

GO MEAN GREEN

[MeanGreenTexan]

Wow!

We finished the year with a 15-17 record.  Certainly some memorable moments (good/bad) during the season, & it was apparent we were a better team, but it ended on a sour stretch, followed by a first-round thud in the CUSA tourney.  Most agreed we were wasting our money buying-into the CBI...

Fast Forward 2 weeks...

Incredible to see this team dig deep & reel off a 5-1 record in this tourney to get to 20 wins & a postseason championship!

What a ride!  Can’t wait for next year!

GO MEAN GREEN!!

Nice crowd wish they show up for the season games.  If we ever sell out the Super Pit where will everyone park?   I got there at 5:45 and had to park way out in left field.

Maybe you should have entered the drawing for the free parking pass!

[TreeFiddy]

Wow.  So happy for the team.  It is a great way to end the season and probably comes at a good time.  McCasland has been riding several of the players pretty hard and I can see it starting to show.  It will be good for everyone to have a break from each other.

Great end to the longest season in Mean Green MBB history!!

Hey, North Texas won the CBI. That means CUSA finishes as the 11th best conference. That's the same ranking as the year before the AAC was formed.

 

 

That's according to Ken Pomeroy.  I don't always put a lot of stock into all his stuff, but that's kinda cool.

It seems like only yesterday/6 years ago that we had a winning record.  Feels good to be back in the 20 win club.

You take out the Benford years and that's 7 straight seasons of at least 18 wins and 6 out of 7 being 20-win seasons. We should win here

[Ben Gooding]

Great stuff tonight 

[greenminer]

What do we take from this?

I would like us to consider that winning on any level is important to our culture right now.  I can't recall anyone specific that was vocally anti-CBI, but I'm sure many were second guessing if this tournament would be worth it.

Man, that was fun!  And great to have my 9 year old son with me in the Super Pit to enjoy it!  Go Mean Green!

 

[oldguystudent]

Helluva a year for UNT athletics overall.  Great win.  

Kinda surprised the students didn't storm the court so we could argue about whether that was appropriate or not.  Kinda disappointed on that. 

[NorthTexan95]

I was there with two of my kids sitting behind the USF bench.  Great crowd and a great atmosphere.  We stayed for the entire net cutting because that doesn't happen very often.

By the way, traffic on 35 from 121 was great.  Didn't hit any traffic until we actually hit Denton.

I agree it was not a put down just what I noticed going to the game.  It was great to have to hike into the super pit.  I was very excited when i pull up and there was traffic built up on the road and I had to drive back to the north forty to park.  Heck if we could sell out our games out I would park at the parking garage and walk it in. Sorry didnt want to sound negative it was just something I noticed.  I hope the fair weather fans show up in force next year for all the games.    GMG!

[TreeFiddy]

So, it is the next day after a big game for a North Texas men’s basketball game and my nuts appear to be normal size and not throbbing in pain. 

Not sure what to do.

We wanted to, but with about a minute left in the game they brought over 5 cops and about 10 event staff to form a line to keep us from rushing.
