Since our regular season is done we can start talking about the tourney.

Looks like FAU is locked at 9. ODU, Marshall, and UAB will be fighting for seeding.

Any of those 4 teams looking like trouble for us?

Also we got best case scenario. No Texas teams in the quarterfinals and no La Tech/ WKU in semifinals.

With this conference...we can't take anyone for granted. I think they are all potential trouble for us.

I'm going to guess 98% of the crowd will be UNT and La Tech fans? Anyone else travel well?

The tourney has to be happy that UNT is the #1 seed....I would think it will boost attendance

WKU is a big time program with big time fans.

I don't see much separation between UNT ,WK, and La. Tech.

Exactly why I don't want to see them until finals.

Good point....

Fitting that the top 3 teams will have the most fans.

This is gonna be fun.

 

Now let's hope for zero upsets.

I think there is a big gap at the top UNT, WKU, & LT between rest of field. Anyone can win it though, March is crazy & unpredictable. UTSA & Rice scare me because of their fast pace & ability to get hot from 3.

We won't play them unless they upset WKU or LA Tech.

If UTEP were to sneak in a win or two they have historically had a good following in the Dallas area

UTSA just lost by 20 to ODU. When they shoot good, they lose. When they shoot bad, they lose bad

Upsets have been happening.

We are not good enough to take a night off. Same goes for LT and WKU.

Has our first game been determined?  Thursday, right?  What about time wise?  I want to start planning with some friends, but would be easier if some times were already locked in.   Thanks, Mean Green Nation!

Agreed.  They had a decent showing at the Pit a few weeks back.

I called the NT ticket office today (th).  The lady that answered said they would not know the date/time of the first game until Sunday, with information available Monday.  Is anybody willing to guess when our first game is ?  I want to go but I'd like to have a guess as to when.

I'll always be of the (biased) opinion that when UTEP is doing well, it makes our conference better.  More-so than when most other teams do well.

Their history within the game going back to the late 1960s, carries a ton of weight with the media mouths.  And, IMO, it should.

Obviously, because of that history the Miners have a strong bball following across Texas and beyond.  Our fans show up.

I really like the Miners when we aren’t playing them. Living in New Mexico I loved those Awesome basketball battles between the Miners Lobos and Aggies. Solid rivalries!

Hopefully, they're all in prime time.

According to what someone posted in another thread, this looks like the bracket with seeding. 

12-team-seeded-tourney-bracket.gif

 

Then according to this bracket, that would put our game at 6pm.

      Not thrilled about playing State

      Having lived there for five years, this is 100% true.

      Breaking: North Texas lands Miami QB Transfer (Free)

      🤦🏽‍♂️”all the excitement is unwarranted” is not a complaint it is just rational observation. Complaining would be saying “he is going to suck why didn’t we get somebody better” that is a complaint. Fixing the defense is the priority bad QB play RARELY factored in the losses we had. Nice to have somebody apparently talented based on his FCS performance to take Chandler’s place. But expecting him to be program lifter beyond reasonable optimism. If they can’t vastly improve the defense and win a little more almost everyone on this board will going griping again come December.

      Not thrilled about playing State

      In a city of 4 million people, I'd sure hope you'd have at least double the attendance of little ol' San Marcos. The only reason ya'll ever sniffed a 5 star recruit is because E.O. was a momma's boy that didn't want to leave home (like most UH students actually). Nobody was talking smack, UH fans are just low class losers and overall poor sports. The only reason you're in the BIG 12 is your daddy Tillman paid for it. Nobody cares about UH in Houston, it's all about UT, A&M and LSU.

      Idiot president-elect proposes Canada as 51st state

      Once again Republicans create their own little economic dystopia for some reason because your retirement accounts have never been higher, unemployment has never been lower, and inflation lagged behind the rest of the world. Yeah the world's biggest welfare queen turning twitter into a cesspool of nazis, bots and crypto scammers. Throttling the political opposition and using illegal lotteries to try and buy votes. Suing companies because they dare choose not to advertise next to usernames like killk**es1488. Every time he makes another boneheaded announcement like allowing people to still see blocked tweets, or arbitration that has to be settled by a judge he's donated money to, threads/bluesky/mastadon get a bump in new users. The world's richest man's threats to shut down the government over the spending bill just got $190 million stripped away from childhood cancer research. Enjoy what's left of the federal government being sold off to billionaires with their added profit taxes because god forbid something not make money.

      Build the rivalry between North Texas (Good Guys) and Texas State (Someone needs to be the bad guys 🤣), and everyone can agree that we wish UTSA nothing but bad luck
