We may have seen the glory days of UNT basketball
Funny, teams usually lose to better teams. Yes, it is exciting to win over big time programs that spend, including NIL, 10 plus times what NT can. If you were not excited about NT basketball in the McCasland and Hodge era, you are likely to be disappointed in any team, -

Eric Morris Post on Cam Ward
Eric Morris is the only college coach to offer a scholarship to the quarterback who is 15 minutes away from being the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft. It would be crazy for him and UNT not to use this for self-marketing. Also, since when is "recruiting methodology" a bad thing? You can't win if you don't bring talented players in. Especially now when they go out as quickly as they came in. -

I agree that football is obviously a bigger deal than basketball. But we have no chance to beat the P4 schools in football anymore. Heck, look what happened when we played Texas Tech. The larger rosters in football and the ability of the P4 to monopolize the biggest, strongest and fastest players is too much for our limited budget to overcome. But in basketball: there are so many great guards that the P4 can’t take all of them. Stack a few great guards with a few serviceable big men (99% of the great big men are in the $$$ conferences) and we have a fighting chance against anyone. The best of the SEC schools would never play us in basketball but they would invite us to their football stadium almost every week if they could. And your point about NCAA basketball having more parity is a reason that we should invest more heavily in basketball. Why not fight a fight that you can actually win? -

Both of those wins got me excited. I used to live in Minnesota and the amount of greater support and resources that school has compared to us is ridiculous. And I also loved beating OK St and Abou Ousmanne (who quit on our team a few years ago). Not only do they have mountains more support and resources than us, but they are also a regional rival. Only thing that would have been better would have been if Mosley hadn’t fudged it up and we could have done it in front of a full home crowd. If those two wins don’t get you excited, then I would suggest doing something different with your time than following North Texas basketball. -

How could we possibly know that at this point? Benford's massive failures were not about recruiting.
