If UNT shows up in black uniforms for this game Alder should be placed on suicide watch.

If we lose, the equipment manager should walk home.

Agree. Those green jerseys are our best look. The whites are a very close second. Just win, baby!

I slightly prefer the white jerseys, just a clean look.  Love the green road uniforms though.

So did someone else not associated with the university/basketball program.

Did anyone check ebay?

I have a group of 8 leaving at 12 from Denton, the seating arrangements is super weird with GA, but our goal is section 107 (behind our bench directly even though our tickets are 212 which is above). I talked with some Pokes fans, they said it shouldn’t be a problem if people show up early!!

We will pregame in Lot 6, head to the gates around 4:45!

GMG!

Finally, our big opportunity to display our school spirit on the big stage.

I wonder what color the Mean Green will wear?

Seriously, no school could ever, ever fudge this up, could they?

 

The players love the alternate jerseys, so more than not expect them to be in the black unis tonight.

Yeah it will be black jerseys unless they got Nike to supply replacements this quick.

I always wondered what happened to our orange seats.  Now I know.

I hope we sold them at a premium. LOL

[flyonthewall]

lets just put this to rest......the uniforms are going to be black.  Now we all have 5 hours to freak out, calm down, and get ready for some basketball, some very high level basketball....

[UNTLifer]

How long does it take to order a replacement set of uniforms?

[NT80]

Point spread is now down to OSU -3.5

Having no Abou is more concerning to me than the uniform color.

Yea I'm wondering that too. If they were stolen (which is terrible) how difficult is it to buy new jerseys? Seems a little crazy that we wouldn't have the financial resources to replace them. Maybe it's on Nike and their ability to get product produced quickly?

Probably a bigger expense than we think for just minimal games left in the season.

I just saw the spread go from 4.5 to 3.5 and was wondering if we will, in fact, have Abou?

Not to sound to pessimistic, but if Abou wasn't available 2 days ago, and we didn't see him in practice photos posted by the team yesterday, my guess is he's out today. Have no idea what his family issue is but wish everyone involved the best. Seems like a great kid and the kind of team player every coach would love to have. GMG!

Agreed - Would have been announced he was back by now.  He’s out for sure.  UNT Sportz is so snakebit!

I have wondered this too. I would think Nike would have no problem sending more jerseys and that they would be free? I don't think we pay Nike to give us jerseys, they provide them as part of our licensing agreement. At least I think that's how it works, someone else correct me if I'm wrong.

The other issue is do the jerseys come blank? I noticed our names and numbers are embroidered and sewn on, not screen printed. So maybe the issue is getting more numbers/letters and getting those put on?

I wish I was wrong, but it's a given...when we play in black, we lose.

I'm not a fan of the black look either, but I'm pretty sure we've already proven your theory incorrect.

[UNTLifer]

Seeing the spread as low as 3.5 points now.  We got this.

[MeanGreen22]

Any new word on Abou? Last I saw was he probably wasn’t going to make it. I hope everything is going okay for him and his family.

It was always going to be a very low to almost 0 chance he would play. Flying to NYC and back, leaving team practice and all of the game prep they have to do, and on top of that for a 2 day turnaround. It just wasn't going to happen unless he got back early Monday. 

[Coltonw83]

I made both the previous games but I have class tonight and tomorrow so I couldn’t make it today. Hope y’all rep us well in their stadium!

I’m going to be checking ESPN a lot during my lecture 👀

He’s not playing tonight and there is nothing we can do to change that.
