I understand resting starters, but losing 4-0 to middle of road team to close season, pretty much kills any chance of an at-large bid.

I did a little investigating and found some interesting tidbits ...

1.  Heading into this game we had the conference championship already wrapped up.  

2.  According to the recap, we rested several starters and three girls got their first playing time of the year.

3. If we had defeated ODU we would have played ... ODU ... in our first tourney game.  I suppose Hedlund didn't feel a win was worth giving ODU any info for a meaningless game. 

4. We play Rice on Halloween at 4:30 PM.  Rice was the preseason favorite to win the conference yet they had to defeat Charlotte in their final game to make the tourney.  Not sure what happened to them.

NT had the tournament first seed wrapped up.  The loss allowed FAU to tie for the championship and dominate the all conference honors. 

Obviously, Hedlund tanked the ODU game although it makes no sense.  NT must play the preseason number 1 Rice in the first round which according to coaches, has the best offensive player in the league.   Rice is the eight seed but maybe the most dangerous team in the tournament.

The lopsided loss to ODU has to hurt NT's seeding if they reach the tournament.

We did end the regular season with an RPI of 28. I’m guessing we get an at large bid regardless of what happens in the conference tournament.

Win Win Win! RPI is 28, our team beat Rice 2-0 and ODU the home team in the tournament lost tonight 3-2 OT! Guess we have the smarter coach, Hedlund rested his players against ODU and when you look at the stats she pretty much plyed her starters the whole game. Well it backfired, ODU is out and UNT will be playing La Tech Friday night at 7pm.

True. Still concerned about the optics of a 4-0 loss when the committee is discussing seeding and home games.

Let's hope the ladies just win the tournament and take the committee out of the equation until seeding time. 

Nice win over Rice.

      Yes, the local media was really hyping the Blizzard of the Century coming today. I could also tell by the hoarding going on and low stock on shelves at the grocery stores.

      I believe we have had more games without classes in session. If someone has the academic calendar handy for this year and last, I can work up the exact numbers. Knowing we would have more games played during the academic break (and the horrible slate of games the AD put together) is exactly why it was critical for the AD to work extra hard getting the surrounding community to the games. I live too far away to know if they've done anything, but based on the results, I don't know if they have...certainly nothing that's moved the needle. It's like they just take time off when students aren't around. We need the so-called t-shirt fans from in and around Denton. What has the AD done to generate excitement and stimulate demand for the program? Whatever it is, it's been a complete failure IMHO. We have a team and program on the rise. It's WINNING games on a regular basis. Based on the last few years, we had a lot of momentum going into this season and it's been squandered in epic fashion. I doubt they are doing anything and just running out the clock waiting for the students to return so they can continue to do nothing. Here's an idea...It seems Jared enjoys his court-side seat. How about running a "switch seats with the AD" promotion? Each half one lucky attendee is drawn and gets to sit court-side and Jared moves to the cheap seats. Who knows, maybe you only get a handful of extra tickets out of it, but we're moving in the wrong direction.

      We have the volume, just nobody cultivating those relationships. Seems Denton proper feels little to no ownership in the university even though it's a large driver of the local economy. As @UNTLiferccommented, things like the homecoming parade have disappeared. They've made every move necessary to make the school and the city separate entities.

      I'm not pissing on anyone, but maybe Nelson, who was a 5 star coming out of high school, was overrated. He's just looking for playing time, which I can certainly appreciate, but UTEP is heralding his signing as being the best in their history. I'm saying is there is a reason he didn't stick at previous places and was probably doesn't have that high of a rating now.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      Those qualities may be fine for us, but nor for ECU or Charlotte or USF, etc. There is no way they want another Texas school in the AAC. They would rather have Ga State, or Jax St., or James Madison, or App St, or WKU. Also, a 16-18 team conference gets too big. It needs to stay 12-14 football/basketball members at most.
