This is such an important game for the pride of UNT.  It seems like UAB and UTSA along with Western have become the top tier and we need to win.

UTSA top tier? Are you smoking something?

I can’t rationalize some of the things we are doing on the offensive end this year. Why is 5’11” JJ Murray our guy in the middle of the floor in attacking the zone? Same swinging the ball around the perimeter again as well.

Hearing Mccasland talk basketball, he is a really smart guy. I don’t get how these are the decisions he lands on though.

I noticed the same thing....something's wrong here and I can't figure it out. I'm more of a football guy so maybe some of you basketball fans can explain the break down in our offense?

This is clearly a terrible match up for us

I said it last night that we are the exact same team. Their big is bigger and their shooter makes shots.

Ooh, lot to get in here but for now will just say Mccasland’s style is to play slow and work for a good shot later in the shot clock. Comes back to bite us with the turnovers that come as a result of holding onto the ball so long and not playing decisively early in the shot clock. And with not a lot of shot makers on the roster puts a lot of pressure on a few guys to make shots that are often less than ideal when up against the shot clock.

      Build your team

      I’ll take your starting 5 and reserves with two changes. Give me Umoja Gibson in place of Woolridge and JJ Murray over Reese* *My son would kill me for taking Reese out (he is his all-time favorite Mean Green player) but I think I have enough scoring and I can’t pass up JJ’s ability to take on the opposing team’s best scorer.

      Dept. of Education says Title IX applies to payments to athletes (NIL)

      Let’s be honest Title 9 is the dumbest ruling ever and always has been. I am all for women’s sports, I am all for schools offering scholarships for those sports if they choose to. Requiring every school to have an equal number of scholarships when football takes 85 is so beyond crazy, and this is crazier. Something meant to benefit female athletes has clearly been detrimental for men’s sports. We are not the only school who doesn’t have men’s soccer or baseball because of it, although someone has posted here before that’s not what’s stopping a baseball program from starting. We have 100x a chance of placing a player in the pros (or USMNT) in soccer and baseball yet we don’t have those programs. Truly makes no sense.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      😂 All those schools you mentioned have significantly more football accomplishments than UNT and frequent (sometimes deep) entries into NCAA tournament. It is just a bad comparison. You can expect to microwave fan support on a level with those schools from one NIT title which at best (perception wise) makes you no better than 30-20th basketball team that year with your stars and coach leaving the team before the next season. I make 4 out of 6 Saturday Football games a season. I like being outside in good weather. I don’t live in Denton and the last thing I want to do after work is drive for an hour in rush hour traffic to get to a volleyball or basketball game. I suspect the average alumni that doesn’t live in Denton or border city feels the same way. I made a home game the year they won the NIT and preceding season. The SuperPit needs work, concessions food wasn’t good with long lines to get it. I guarantee the fan experiences at the home basketball arenas of the teams you mentioned aren’t like that.

      Best UNT BBall team ever?

      I think we’re a good team that’s trending up. An at large bid is unlikely…we’d have to win all/most of our games, strong showing in the Conference Tourney, and have no surprise teams taking any auto bids. NIT is still a GREAT tournament. It doesn’t get the media hype, but it’s good basketball.
