- We beat WKU to win the title last year...but there was a bit of an asterisk in the minds of some people.  They didn’t have Bassey.  Well, this year they did and It didn’t matter.

- We started out white hot, and if we didn’t get sloppy to end the first half and come out of the locker room we might have run away and hid.

- Western has a ton of heart.  They are obviously well coached and I believe deserve an NCAA bid because they are certainly one of the 64 best teams in the country.  If they don’t get one I will be at the pit rooting for them if they’re in the NIT

- North Texas has been to the Big Dance four times in history.  I am so lucky to have been there for three of the championship games that sent us there.  But I am especially blessed because my three future Mean Green alums got to witness this one with me.  

- Hamlet is a warrior.  Period.  

- Go Mean Green

One thing I will add too is that, at least in these last two games, is that UNT balled out at the free throw line. Too many times, even in the pros, teams kill themselves missing key FT's when they're trying to make a comeback or have an opportunity to put the game away.

However, the refs totally could have called a technical foul on Terence Lewis for running onto the court before when WKU inbounded with 2.5 seconds left.

Just rewatched the game.  I am convinced that, if not for sloppiness by our team and some VERY nice acting by the Hillfloppers, this game isn’t a tight one.  

We should've won by 20. Sadly, that was our 4th game in 4 days, and WKU is a good team.

      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.
