Do y'all not watch P5 football and high-major basketball games? There's music playing constantly. If you want light elevator music playing in the background so you can talk stocks, stay home. You want

I hope they took the dj with them.  I don't know why we have to have blaring music all the time.  I rather hear the band or be able to hold conversation with someone than have dj playing music.

Good opportunity to continue to fine tune and integrate all of the new players. I predict Stone goes off from the three point line.

They had a couple stretches in the first half where I think they were over aggressive and it often resulted in a turnover.  however they changed up their tempo a bit in the 2nd and pulled away.

You do know that both SMU and TCU played them this year….

Yes, I went to their basketball website the other night. I wish we had those two teams on our schedule.

UTA, SMU or TCU? But we get this cupcake 

They are a scheduled win.  Do you think TCU or SMU would schedule NT?

The changes of a good D! program playing NT in Denton in the oc is remote.  

The value of this game is that NT played 14 players.  

The concern is NT did not shoot the ball well from outside despite having wide open looks and added bad free throw shooting.

JJ was still building the program at the time and two years away from his first SBC Tourney title.

I am a little surprised that not one AAC school made the schedule, though I understand why SMU wouldnt want to play us.  TCU probably had a lot of interest from around the country. 

But the one school I would have thought to be interested in playing at UNT is Texas A&M, they narrowly missed the NCAA tournament last year, they will probably end up on the bubble again this year, so beating other bubble teams (especially away) might make them look good come selection day.  Granted they do have SMU at home and Memphis away.

I suggest listening to Mccasland talk about the scheduling in this podcast:

In college basketball, it’s all about record and Quad 1 and Quad 2 wins (to a lesser degree). And with Quad 3 and 4 record, the committee doesn’t care about those but they do care how many Quad 3 or 4 losses a team has. That’s what gets evaluated when it’s time to pick at-large NCAA tournament teams.

In order for a home game to count as a Quad 1 win, the opponent has to be a Top 30 NET team. Mccasland explains how teams don’t want to play us, even at their place, because the risk of losing to us isn’t worth the reward of a possibly Quad 3 win, or at best a Quad 2 win. Losing to us at home is either going to worsen the Quad 2 record or show up as a Quad 3 loss, neither are going to help an at-large bid.

SMU just lost to the Louisiana in overtime.

NCAA needs to just step in and start making schedules because all this does is just like football play into the hands of big boys. 
-end pay to play games across the board. Help fun athletics, eliminate the NIL… I’m going to stop before I get worked up lol.

Good showing, the guys are starting to ease in, but they still need more time to really get to know each other. Even the vets are having to deal with large rotations which is new for us. Martinez has been the standout of the new transfers, he looks ready to score from any part of the court. I was wondering why we didn't see Sissoko out there more in the past games. He looked silky smooth when he got the ball, IMO he needs more minutes shared with Ousmane. Having 2 viable big men would be huge. Speaking of Abu, I don't know if he is just in a funk or what, but he doesn't look like the player from last year. His hooks and shots have been off, I know he was the leading scorer tonight so maybe it's just me, but he looks like he's lacking confidence? Good game to help the team build on their chemistry. Huntsberry needs to guard the ball better, we can't have so many turnovers, but his shooting has looked good. Good game overall.

You want to trust the NCAA? That sounds like it will work out!

If Abou knew where he was on the court and didn't fumble every pass he could easily be averaging 20ppg. He should have dominated Southern Nazarene and Paul Quinn.

I never got the impression that he was fumbling a ton of passes.  I'll have to revisit the games and look for that.

Year 1 to year 2 was a massive improvement. I guess I thought he would come out looking like a monster this year. I'm hoping some of that is still the new guys learning how each player likes to play and how to best facilitate a teammate.

Unfortunately, he's been out of position on the block a number of times this year, along with missing wide-open looks right at the basket.  Chalking it up to lots of pressure on him to produce early with Perry and Jones, not in the lineup.  I think he'll get back to last season's form as everyone gets adjusted to the new lineup at full strength.  He has the ability to be dominating in the paint.

I don't think a 30-point win, or a 30-point loss does much for the team.   The games like Fresno, closer for the whole game are much more beneficial.  Guys have to focus on every possession, offense and defense.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Good post! I agree with everything you said.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      True. It doesn’t matter to anyone outside that school. But did you see NIU storm the field to celebrate the 4th down crushing sack of the Fresno quarterback to end the game? Followed by the lifting of the potato mascot into the air? Loved it for those dudes. Hard work paid off with a dramatic win. After learning our bowl destination my Dallas SEC diehards said they wanted to go to the game. So we’ll have the pre fun and post fun time on the 3rd. They attended the Boise Bowl and Cal game too. They are college football 🏈 LSU season ticket holder junkies who look forward to a fun day. I’m in the minority in this thread but I’m glad we play bowl games. I don’t need to see NIU or Fresno again this season but I’m glad it happened. Beat Texas State! GMG

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      This is what the NCAA was trying to stop. But the hypocrisy and greed of everyone else in the sport getting paid a “market rate” while walk-ons got nothing and scholarship athletes were eating ramen noodles in the offseason broke that model. The ONLY rational way forward to get sanity and fairness back with a large healthy FBS would about 80-100 teams coming together and becoming an actual league. No less than 50% of all revenue (not including home ticket sales and merchandise sold on campus) would be shared equally. Lots of other things would have to be done but most of them include cushy fat cat positions going away, and others taking 50% pay cuts. The athletic departments would have to surrender a lot of power to the new league/NCAA along with the revenue sharing. We all know that isn’t happening. And we are on a slow road to College Football regular season ratings going down and playoff ratings going up while it is new. Then after the newness wears off we will have FBS looking more like College Basketball. Dramatically less interest in regular season football with few being familiar with great players outside of Heisman contenders (and/or projected 1st round Quarterbacks).

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Maybe I need to read the article again... Is that saying with revenue sharing coming online there will be a limit to what NIL Collectives can pay? That article seems to suggest that the big money will level out. How is that?

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      That’s the point for sure. Winning a spare bowl against another G5 means nothing to anyone beyond the diehards of the winning program.
