Voertman’s is selling them. If you preordered, you could choose your number.

This game, this team is too intense for me.  I couldn’t take the double overtime pressure.  I can’t take it, man!
 

 

Ha!  Same. Triple OT would have been painful.

Best quotes about UNT basketball from UAB fan board:

They're everything that we aren't - calm, cool, collected, poised, surgical, precise, clean with the ball, and function well as a collective unit.

What does North Texas do? They set college basketball back fifty years with their deliberately slow tempo. They are dead last (363rd) in tempo. The best time to use the restroom, while watching a North Texas game, is while they have the ball. You won’t miss a damn thing!

Win or lose you just know its going to be a frustrating game to watch. No one uglies up a game like North Texas.

McCasland is the best coach in CUSA. His teams impose their will against us every time.

McCasland out coaches AK… we fall for their style of play hook line and sinker every. Single. Time. We don’t seem to do anything to adjust. Every game against UNT is an ugly, recurring nightmare.

Im starting to think we would be better off getting the 4 seed and avoiding UNT until the finals, if we even make it that far.

Really don’t like the strategy of trying to be better at North Texas ball than North Texas.

A great game and a great win by a great team, against the only team in conference to have beaten Atlantic. This one makes me wish I lived in Texas again.

Official attendance: 3873. Felt like more and was pretty loud late into the game and especially in the two overtime sessions. 

I hope more make it to the Saturday game. This team deserves it.

The atmosphere was top notch last night as the place was rocking during the OTs, but a little disappointed in the numbers.  We were over 4K two of the previous three home games and sniffed 4K on the third.  Not sure why there was a drop off on a Thursday night with a quality opponent.  They missed a great game.

Not to beat a dead horse, but 3,800 in a 7k arena would look really nice...

How about this:   Fans that cannot attend can send a $20 donation to Athletics with a waste-up photo of themselves, friend or other celebrity, etc...preferably in Green attire.   

A fullsize cardboard likeness will be created and placed in an unused seat in an upper section of the SuperPit.  Similar to the cardboard fans at MLB games during covid...

Not really, it'd still be barely half full.

And you can have one for the low low price of $140

Fanatics has jerseys for $100. Currently a promo knocking them down to $75. They don't appear to be the same quality as Voertman's and don't have all logos. Likely not official gear although the same as https://unt.spirit.bncollege.com/?query=Jersey&_ref=p-TLP:m-SEARCH

But you can foul anyone in that situation.  It doesn't have to be the ballhandler; in fact better to foul their worst free throw shooter!

Great point Jeff.

That is a real good point. We need more butts in the seats now that we have a winning season and 40.000 student enrollment. Would wish there could be some kind of marketing program to have our Arena full.

55% vs 38%. More than half full and better than being closer to a third. 

[greenminer]

A raucous 3,800 is amazing, but once the Super Pit has more than 5K people in it, it's special.
