Anyone heard any update on Tope Arikawe's injury from Sunday night? Looked bad.  I know Smart is out of the boot and shooting so hopefully he is getting close but no need to rush him. Also haven't heard about the freshman Wise or transfer Alcinder and when they may be back. Could use some bulk and rebounding down low. Go Mean Green!

No official updates but Tope was on the court for the closing ceremony aided by crutches. I would be slightly surprised if Smart doesn’t play tomorrow, and shocked if he doesn’t play Saturday.

Not sure about Wise or Muhamed but they look close to coming back as well. Muhamed had a knee brace on 10 days ago but he didn’t in Hawaii and Wise has been warming up in the layup lines.

Last, I think Alcindor is headed for a conventional redshirt. Don’t expect to see him on the court this year.

So can Red Shirt players play in four games without losing their red shirt?

Isn’t that football? I thought it was something like a quarter of the season so I’m basketball it’s like 8 or 9. I could be wrong though.

The rule is only applicable for football. The games mark that Andrew is referring to is how many games a player can play in for basketball and still be eligible for a medical redshirt (30% of teams’ games played).

I believe McCasland said on the pregame show last night that the plan was for him to debut against St. Peter's on Saturday.

It would be great to have everyone available by the time the Oklahoma game rolls around. Did he say anything about Wise or Muhammad?

I think Wise is just redshirting at this point. He has been in the layup lines all year

I thought the same about Shakeem, but he has played a few games. Can’t you still play and redhisrt?

That’s just a football thing

But for injuries it’s similar. Essentially we have wasted Shakeems year because he played a few minutes? That stinks for him.

Why?  Very few basketball players are redshirted unless for medical or eligibility reasons.   If he can cure his fouling issues, he could become a valuable part of the rotation.  

Teams are catching on, there is no reason to redshirt and develop a player just so he can leave as a grad transfer.

I agree, but I thought the plan was to redshirt him because we are a deep team and play small ball. I am curious to see how many more minutes he will play behind both Simmons, Mark T,  and Arikawe.

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      We do alright with the North Texas chant sometimes, we just need to make it a staple and I think people will do it.

      State fans showed up because they rightfully expected to win in this game. If the AD thinks they're going to depend on people to show up just cause NT has a team there, they are dead wrong. There are a few, but there are many many more who will not show up when they don't think their team will win. There are too many obligations and opportunities to devote precious time and money watching a team lose.

      After Morris and Sheffield transferred, how many here were actually expecting to win? Many of us were just hoping TXST didn't handle us like they did UTSA this year or Rice in last year's First Responder Bowl. Sure, it's the head coach's job to have his team ready to play and in position to win regardless of the adversity faced, but it's still incredible the performance Mestemaker had. Tonight was better than any game C. Morris has had since Memphis. Coastal Carolina lost their starting QB to the portal and got dog walked in their bowl game against UTSA in their own building. Yes, the loss increases our bowl futility streak to an active high, and it sucks to lose to an intrastate program in an inferior conference, but that shouldn't take away from Drew's game. The biggest disappointment to me was how badly we were outnumbered by TXST fans. We went from packing the lower level of the Cotton Bowl to being matched ON OUR OWN SIDE. Like our team, our fans also struggle to wear green. However, there should be optimism surrounding next season. Eric made a poor hire with his first DC obviously, but made the tough (but right) call in getting rid of him. Next year's presumed starter will be in his last year of eligibility, so no losing another 4000 yard passed before the bowl game. If we struggle to another 6/7-win season and bowl loss with next year's schedule, I think Eric's seat should be pretty hot again.

      So a lot of you think that NT is not deserving of your valuable fandom. I actually was proud of the team that continue to battle with a completely revamped lineup including a completely untested QB. Yeah and spare me the low expectations accusations that are usually leveled at anyone that dares to not rave and rant about a loss.
