Sun Belt -- March 6-9/Bowling Green, Ky.

Favorite

Western Kentucky. The red towels will be out in force as the Hilltoppers host this tourney, and there probably is no bigger homecourt advantage in the league. A potential semifinal battle with top seed UL-Lafayette would be a war.

Dark horse

North Texas. Seeded sixth, the Eagles are dangerous because they have an assortment of weapons and play pretty much everyone on their roster. If they play consistent basketball, they could emerge at the opposite end of the bracket.

At stake

No one is getting an automatic bid this year, and only the Ragin' Cajuns have had a season strong enough to merit an NIT bid.

Player to watch

WKU center Nigel Dixon averaged a double-double this season and at over 300 pounds, is quite the handful. If he stays out of foul trouble, the Hilltoppers have the go-to guy necessary to win three games in three nights.

No automatic bids! ?

Since when?

I'm not the huge bball fan, but I was under the assumption that all conference champs go to the Tourney.

What that means is no one get an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament with thier regular season performance. Though in his opinion ULL played well enough to maybe get an NIT bid.

300 Pounds??? What the heck? This guys is to big to even play ball. That has to be some typo or something.

Depending on height...300lbs might not be that big a deal.  Look at Shaq.wink.gif

Shaq at 300lbs? Try 350 when he is "in shape" blink.gif

      For me Chico is like Creed. I'm not supposed to love them but dammit I do. Coach Canales loved North Texas more than most alumni.

      Earth to GMG

      This world does not exist anymore. It used to, but not in the portal and NIL age of college football. If players cared about coaching staff stability they would not be transferring at the rate they are. If this thinking permeates our AD, then they need to look for a new line of work because that ship sailed. Seriously, how many 17-18 years olds sit down and review the contracts of the coaches to decide which offer to take? High school recruiting should be de-emphasized. It can't go away completely, but building a program through the high school ranks over multiple years no longer works. When recruiting high school players, I think the only "stability" play is academic stability. There are a lot of players that have the skill and ability to play D1 football, but won't make it to the next level. Hopefully they are smart enough to realize that. Sell them (and their parents!) on playing a sport they love and getting a solid education and degree while they do. That's why it's important to continue to improve the academic status of UNT. We're not going to be a Stanford, but improving 4-year graduation rates and tighter admission standards will help.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      At this point in the football cycle, if you fire a coach then you throw away all the recruiting work being done for the following seasons. The portal opens up in just a few days, and most AAC schools build their next years roster in the transfer portal. How hard is it going to be for these programs to build rosters for next season if they dont have a head coach going into the transfer window?

      I hope we lose to Temple

      Remember how much we hated La Tech in the 90’s and ‘2000’s? How we mocked them for stupidly going from an Independent in the 90’s to wasting the mega bucks on travel in the WAC in the 2000’s, and their obnoxious fans coming here talking trash? Then 2012 happened…… https://coachad.com/news/did-louisiana-tech-really-turn-down-a-bowl-game/ They had elevated their program to the point that when they lost the last two conference games of the ‘12 season finishing 9-3, and ending as the nation’s #1 offense, they were so damn upset over it they chose, either directly or indirectly to not play ULM in the Independence Bowl. That announcement was the day I practically fell in love with their school and their program because to me it was the greatest stance on principle and accountability and a standard they felt they had set for themselves and held to. Since then, we’ve been there several times, you and me, and have seen how poor their athletics were funded all those years, which gained even more respect from this college athletics fan. That’s where I am as a fan and alumn of NT right now. Wishing we would set a standard, a high standard and stick with it. Rick
