It feels like we're this close to breaking it open, but every time I think we may do it the Minutemen hit a shot or two.

Team hasn’t really shown anything spectacular. Don’t hear about them at local things or any high school or other sporting events. Bad recruiting and PR after a huge season. 
 

AD needs to up its game. Literally talked with a guy yesterday who didn’t even know Jalen Guyton went to UNT or left early for the NFL. Becuase AD doesn’t tout that success. Maybe too busy chasing money. 

Andrew, Wren is actually chasing money to expand & finish the “built way too small” Athletic Center with probably a combo End Zone Facility to adjoin it. 

Once finished all UNT Men & Women varsity athletes will have access to a  much larger weight room, sports medicine & other services that such facilities offer now at other universities.  
Media?  If it’s not online we can forget newspaper coverage since the DMN & FWST can’t (or won’t) afford beat reporters for outlying schools.
The Denton Record-Chronicle’s Brett Vito wins awards covering UNT sports & other Denton County sports teams.

Halftime

 

 

Great defensive half.

Jamiah Simmons showing up. It’s about time! 4 years later he is balling out. Good to see.

In fairness, he has always provided some good quality defensive minutes here and there.

Ousmane delivering body blows in the middle created space for our outside shooters.  They're starting to press to try and speed us up and cut our lead.

[Andrew]

What’s the deal with Wright, Browne, and Zepher? Never playing this season really. Injured? Dog House? 

[Pavlovs Eagle]

2 points in the last 5 mins probably?

[CMJ]

Sorry...had to do something for my wife that took me away from the computer for a few minutes.

We held back their push and have regained control.  For now anyway.

 

[Pavlovs Eagle]

Messy play. Giving up easy 2 point attempts left and right.

Things are getting a bit nerve racking.  It feels like UMass is a couple of shots away from taking this over.

NT 66 ------- UMass 57

 

Final

 

 

[Pavlovs Eagle]

Strong finish by McBride and Bell! Nice team win!

[meangreen11]

Good solid win.  Gosh  i love Mac!

This should push us into the Top 100 NET. We've been wavering back and forth between 103 and 104 for awhile now.

Not gonna double check our history, but it seems like we are quietly amassing one of our best OOC runs in recent memory.

It moved our RPI from 124 to 69 immediately.

Grant is special.   It's not like our recruiting classes in BB are topping the charts.  He is a damn good coach in every sense.
