Agree 100%!  Also I think this will be the 100th win for Grant tonight.  I hope they do something special for him.

TBell back on track, Rubin get more chances to run the point/attack the rim, Abou gets more reps down low, and see if the Human Victory Torch gets some decent minutes. 

Also…this is the best UNT team I’ve experienced and I don’t want to miss a chance to watch them play. GMG!

Agree 100%.  I’m fine with attending but I’m much more concerned with issues in the Frisco tournament myself.

I usually get pretty engrossed in games and watch them on TV but for some reason this one just does not move the needle for me.  It seems like they should just give the Mean Green the win they want and be over with it.  Seems silly to have people play for two hours when most of the residents want UNT to win.  I am open to other thoughts on this.

You’ll make it with time to spare.  I’d eat before hand.  My experiences haven’t been too hot with the booths that have been open for games.  Luke warm hot dogs cold hamburger and sub par pretzel.  They’ve only had 2/3 concession booths opened most of the year so I’m assuming predicted numbers drives that for AD

This is my fear.  We finally get some good crowds for tonight and Saturday and the department has two entrances open and a handful of concession stands with hot dogs left over from the last game.

Lesson learned, we eat and drink before hand.  Grab popcorn and maybe a water bottle there.  🙂

Stop by The Dive.  Good food and owned by a NT alum.

Got an alert from the AD on twitter I think it was, that limited concessions tonight due to ppl not working due to weather

We go in there regularly, especially after the destruction of Rockin Rodeo.  Wife and I went on our first date when it used to be Pourhouse, so it holds some sentimental value as well.

I just made the drive solo to check the roads out, guys I drove from Lewisville to Denton and there isn’t a bad spot 1 not bridges not side roads not highways.  There is hardly even water on the ground.  Please get out and be safe but no reason to not drive to the game tonight.  I’m bringing my family of 4.  GMG 

Making the trip from The Colony. Hoping it’s all smooth!

I think you'll be ok.  I'd avoid the giant overpass from 121 to 35 other than that safe travels.

Roads are clear in Denton btw 

Yep. Live in Denton so it’s an easy drive but everything was clear.

Yep took business 121 to avoid the overpass and had no problems! I am here at the Pit! Everyone can still make it! GMG

2:30 left on the pre-clock.  6:53.  I was really hoping for a ton more fans.  Maybe we will fill in.  Bill Mercer used to call us the “fashionably late North Texas fans.”

GO MEAN GREEN

Looks like a good crowd!

Racking up some early fouls on the Golden Eagles.  We should be shooting a lot of free throws tonight.

This feels nice and comfortable so far.  Nice to have a game like this.

[RiseUNT]

Does anyone know the schedule for the Cusa tourney? Does east #1 play at 5:30 Thursday or will we? I hope we play at 8:30.

[meanJewGreen]

Is it just me or is it very quiet in there? Kind of disappointed. We were much worse (06-10) and got way bigger crowds.

Keeping it rolling!
