Being picked second with no player on first or second team speaks well for overall team expectations. Rose stats dropped big time his sophomore year, and his third year may start with suspension for DWI. Given his second year stats and overall team strength, that may not hurt us too much.

Smart was a liability last year, he just never seemed to recover from a pre-season injury.    Physically, he looked ok after a few games, but he lost his touch somewhere.   

This team should be deep and even if Smart doesn't return to form, there are now players that can take his place. 

NT losing their best player in Woolridge transferring definitely will hurt.   

NT has proven players in Gibson and Z. Simmons plus designated bomber Draper and part time starter J. Simmons.  The rest of the team are new.   Alcindor some how lost his redshirt but barely played.  

That leaves a boatload of new players that have not stepped on the court in a real game for NT.   Including Alcindor there are 7 new players plus 2 new walk-ons joining the team.  

McCasland definitely has a challenge this year.

I really hope we can live up to the expectations!

I believe we have very low expectations. Especially after seeing the football program. This is the least excited I have been about a basketball season since Trilli was the coach. There is no hype and no one is taking about us. 
 

I really hope we are a sleeping giant, but until I see us compete with OU at home I am skeptical.

ehh I would have to disagree. Sure we are a team with very few expectations, but Coach Mac did a fantastic job on getting the JUCO guys and the other D1. 

I'll tell you this, that 2016-17 pre season was looking bad. Had us at 13 if i'm correct.

This OOC is finally a challenge, so it should get us prepared for C-USA play

I think if we fall on our faces early in the tourney and Charlotte makes a championship appearance, they could get some awards.  Especially if they are the ones we lose too.  They were picked 12th.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      These conference wishlists are fun to discuss but in no world should UNT share a conference with Tarleton State and SHSU in 2025 lol I’d love being in the PAC as long as some other AAC members follow as a package. That conference wouldn’t be as friendly regionally but there would definitely be more opportunities for national recognition in the PAC especially in basketball.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      TXST in the same conference would be fun, but there are a lot of great moves to make... many of the current teams in our conference need to be kicked out first to avoid cheapening the media payout.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      Before the PAC2 raided the MWC, I had been a supporter of joining a rebuilt PAC, as long as it was a true "Western Conference" of D1, and we shared a nice little 6-8 division with the likes of Memphis, UTSA, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, Tulane, and a Rice or Tulsa. But it did not appear the PAC was going to bring enough programs close to DFW to make the added travel and exit fees worth it. Still don't know how the MWC held onto UNLV and Nevada, otherwise it'd be an even crappier conference than CUSA. But unlike the PAC7, it will still be recognized as an FBS conference next July. Doesn't seem like Memphis, Tulane, and USF will be going there, especially with an unknown TV deal. Ultimately I think with realignment, one of the G6 leagues will dissolve. The American struggles by being a league with several new teams, no notable rivalries, and no regional tie like the PAC, SBC, MWC, and MAC claim. And there are plenty of moves we could make to improve across many sports, but the league is so saturated. If it were up to me, I'd get Rice, Tulsa, Charlotte, Temple out of the conference. Force FAU and UTSA to find a solution to their high school gyms. Add Texas State, James Madison, Liberty, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Louisiana. That would create a 16-team conference with a 8-team West Division UNT would share and play annually against with UTSA, TXST, Tulane, Louisiana, Memphis, Western Kentucky, and UAB. Instead of playing frickin' Temple three times in three years. That would leave us at 15 teams for basketball, I'd add up to three non-football members between Dayton, St. Louis, VCU, Richmond.
