He sure likes to dunk! Looks very athletic

What I like is that several of those resulted from opportunities he created himself off the dribble. We don’t have a lot of that currently. Hopefully he can also hit FTs!

Somebody did the in-depth analysis of the Mean Green's record depending on who starts the gameday thread. With this being a one-and-done tournament, we needed some fresh blood. This will either go ext

Late arriving crowd?  We did pretty well attendance-wise.  Over 4,300 and 922 more than last year's Texas State game.  Would be nice to eclipse the Virginia game too against SHSU for our second 5,000+ game.

No way we had 4,300 last night. The sidelines looked pretty good but soft student turnout. Energy sucked, too, although Alcorn State brought quite a few people.

I do think we've got a good chance for a big crowd Sunday if students can be marketed to and get back on time. It's a favorable start time for both local alumni and current SHSU students/Huntsville residents to get to Denton as well. I hope for a packed lower bowl.

its pretty in CBB to have 6'7" dudes as your four man. It brings versatility. If you get an athlete like Scott or Thomas Bell there you can do so much. I mean, Kawhi Leonard played the four as a 6'7" guy. 

For sure. Anytime we bring in someone 6’5”-6’7” I expect them to play 4 until I see them playing primarily on the wing, which hasn’t really happened with the guys we have brought in previously. Not that we have brought in a ton of guys in that height range.

Maybe we start bringing some more size at the wing in the AAC, but it seems like Mccasland’s formula is 3 guards, a decently skilled 6’6”/6’7” guy at the 4, and then more of a traditional big man at the 5.

He was 78.6% from free throws this season. Would have been 3rd on our team (excluding Moore due to limited attempts).

We need more bulk to play with physical teams.  UAB bullied us in the paint.  Abou is foul prone.  I would bet most of our losses this year were due to the other team scoring inside.

He needs to be part of a winning program that can teach him how to play winning basketball. By my count, he has 2 years left of eligibility.

 

 

If he plays defense as hard as he goes for dunks, can you imagine a 1->3 of Rubin, this kid, and Aaron????? Longest back court.

I’m looking forward to 20 points, 8! Rebounds from Abou vs. SHSU to silence the “ supporters.”

 

He should have had 30 last night. That's on him, mostly.

Who is the DUMBASS announcer who is saying North Texas State?

Hey, we've done it to ourselves with the NTSU uniforms, logos, and merchandise.

Otherwise the former school name would have dissipated over the 35 years since the change.

I am not sure you understand what's going on here.

We are battling a problem created by generations of branding inconsistency.  There is a small army of media mouths out there that genuinely think we are North Texas State, despite being 30+ years removed from that name.  Not to mention the million shades of green that we have claimed as our own on uniforms and fan merch.

I don't care what other schools do.  Whether or not they are fighting the same battles we are, they are free to celebrate their past as they choose.

I totally understand what is going on.  Professional sports reporters can still be ignorant.  We were North Texas State (U., College, Normal) a lot longer than we have been U of North Texas.  Maybe we should just stuff Joe Greene into a bin so reporters stop seeing him and referring to his days at North Texas State?

We're getting to the point where people who weren't even alive when we were STATE still refer to us that way.

People are definitely allowed to make mistakes,.  But I don't think I have to explain how those other teams - or any other team - are not facing these battles like we are.  That's why I posted my response.  We can all do throwback uniforms, but I think UNT has to be tasteful/careful about it.

As CMJ stated above, there are people out there that were not even alive when we were called that, and they are sitting in front of cameras perpetuating this on local/national broadcasts.

      State of College Football

      Surrendering ourselves to a G5 playoff would be disastrous. It would give the P4 all the ammo they need to effectively remove the automatic bid for the highest ranked G5 champ. The correct solution, in today's environment, is to maintain the automatic G5 bid for the main playoffs and have a mixed G5/P4 NIT style tournament as Pernetti suggested. Don't take, add. Wouldn't be a bad idea to allocate future "NIT" and playoff spots per conference based on their previous performances. They do this in Europe for their European tournaments. Each league gets a coefficient rating based on the previous 5 years performance in European competitions. Not performing? You lose spots. Performing? You gain spots. So you know, the ACC going 1-9 so far, the Big12 going 2-7 back in 2022, the SEC going 6-8 and ACC going 2-4 both in 2021 would have some affect on that rating and future potential spots in the playoffs and NIT. No reason the ACC should get 2 spots next year considering this year's playoffs. The rating would just ensure transparency.

      Because the ever present lie of “we could be next” keeps G5 athletic directors, coaches, and fan bases docile. Keep the system just shy of outright exclusion of G5 programs and you can slowly strip away access while claiming that wasn’t the plan all along. It’s why the Power Ball lottery is so popular. Even though the chances of winning are exponentially small for everyone (the G5 programs), everyone will point to that one lady in a far off trailer park (Boise) who hit it big!

      Women at Wichita State (12/29/24)

      Time to see how good or bad this conference is. The women (8-4) travel north to face Wichita State (6-7) in the AAC opener. We beat the Lady Shockers in Denton last year, 72-68. At 8-4, the women are tied with ECU for third best nonconference record in the league. Only UTSA (9-2) and UAB (9-3) are better. However, at 17-7, UNT has the best combined men's and women's basketball record of any program in the AAC. Game is at 1pm on ESPN+.
