All of the measured comments from our fans who will swear a road loss to a Rice team (that shot 54% from beyond the arc):

1) spells the end of this season, and

2) proves McCasland is a bad coach

Can you please let us know his second half record his two seasons here?

Can I cite for you a single game in each of those seasons, or would you prefer a larger sample size?

If, prior to conference play, I told you we would be 8-2 this point in conference you would sitting in a corner busier than a Texas Tech bell ringer. One game and you are so predictable.

I don’t think Mac is a bad coach at all, but for sone unknown reason North Texas sucks off Byes. Also Zach maybe had 10 touched the whole game

Oh and 1 bad loss doesn’t signify that the seasons over. This board overreacts so much it’s not even funny!

Last season conference 8-10. 2-7 in the second half.

2017-18

8-10 in conference. Also end of the season fade.

It would be great if Mac corrects the course this year but he doesn’t have the history here yet.

The past two years, we won our tenth conference game so maybe this is a change. Who knows until you play the games. I think this team is different. They just have a different feel.

That’s what I’ve been saying all year! I don’t know how to word it, but it doesn’t feel like teams in the past several years

I hope you guys are right. But given the last two seasons I am in a wait and see mode until they prove that they can sustain towards the end of the season.

We need the one seed at Frisco. I want that center to be packed with mean green fans going crazy!

for the team and conference we need a strong showing and deep run!

A loss to Rice is a bit of surprise but they played us tough here. It just seems at UNT we get it going the crowd starts getting better we have a loss like this (football, basketball). I know we as fan need to show up to every game but the casual, bandwagon fan will not. I love to go to the games at the pit when we have a good crowd it is totally different place.

This team will bounce back but will the fans. I will be at the next game and be yelling" get out of reserved seat".

This was my biggest concern about the week off. We were on such a roll, you almost didn't want to stop playing. After they found their groove in the second half, I thought, here we go, the team is back on track. We had some bad possessions, Rice got hot at the same time and the game got away from us. It happens. Had a feeling the week was going to cool off a hot team. Let's find the magic again against Middle and run the table. They've proven they are capable.

This. Zach had a monster game against Rice the first time around and seemed to barely touch the ball this game. I am sure Rice made adjustments, but I think Zach needs to be a little stronger in the paint and each possession he should have at least one touch. The week off did come at a bad time, but I like how this team doesn't seem to get too high or too low. They just stay after it and I think this will serve us well the remainder of the season.

I agree completely. Also, at the end of the UTEP game you could see some fatigue in Hamlet and Gibson because they play the most minutes. I think if we would’ve just had Rice Wednesday and Saturday (like WKU Marshall) we would’ve done better.
