UTSA (3/3/22)

[CMJ]

Clinched the regular season mark.  Should be a W, but gotta watch for a letdown.

[MeanGreenTexan]

Obviously this school followed by another UT system school creates confusion in who exactly we're playing.
I really hope the coaches prepare for the correct UT system school this Thursday and film assistants get the correct UT system school film prepared so our guys are ready to face the UT system school in SAN ANTONIO, not El Paso.  If we don't get this right, UTSA's explosive offense could really surprise our guys and...

...nevermind.   This one should provide some needed PT for Wright, Zephir, & Stone as we win by around 20.

North Texas leads the all-time series with UTSA 18-12 with the series tied 8-8 in games played in San Antonio. The teams split the meetings in San Antonio last year, with UTSA claiming the finale, 77-69 behind an explosive outing from Jhivvan Jackson. In the meeting earlier in 2021-22, North Texas won, 69-45 in Denton.  From the UTSA web site.

I surprised that the serious is 18-12 and that close.  What ever happened to Jackson?

Is winning regular season conference still a thing?

Guaranteed NIT bid. Though I think our expectations well exceed that.

Well a win against UTSA gives us the conference outright?

[Green Otaku]

Focus. UTSA would like nothing more than to ruin our streak. Don't overlook anybody.

Yes. Without needing the tiebreak over Middle.

Officially? No.  CUSA only recognizes champs of East and champs of West.

NIT (apparently, per a previous post), if it comes to picking east or west, will pick the one with the best record.

Uh oh

It eerily feels like football season in a season not so long ago. Bring it Mean Green! Crush UTSA.

Utsa doesn’t have their best scorer, who entered the portal. I literally can’t see this game being close whatsoever.

Germany entered the portal? I’m not seeing that.

Well MT was upset by Charlotte tonight.   So, the Mean Green have clinched the conference outright (no tie breakers needed).

Next 2 games are huge in order to have a chance at an at-large bid.  With all the press the team is getting, I really think that is possible.

Yes, I have been having nightmares that UTSA will do to us in basketball what we did to them in football.  The saving grace is that I think Coach Mac will have them mentally prepared to not let this happen and that our guys are too disciplined to let it happen.   GMG

As long as the game isn’t moved outside in cold/rainy conditions, I think we’ll be fine.
