I just don't get why they went to Vegas then picked one of the oldest arenas in town. Not that I think they'd sell out. UVU and Wisconsin will probably travel well but I imagine there won't be nearly as many general basketball fans there like there is at MSG.

My guess is the Orleans was the only one that really bid on it.  Plus, the NCAA (and arguably ESPN) folks wouldn't want any venue too large because it'd just make any lack of crowd look bad on TV.

Eady?  I noticed on the pic of him stepping off the plane that he had a hard cast on his hand.  I think it has been reported that it is broken.  Is that correct?  Will he try to play?  Anyone know anything?

Need some love and support from the GMG crowd. My daughter, born and raised Wisconsin, is interning in the UNT Sports Medicine Department. She was a AT for the football team and was talked into staying for the spring semester and is now the AT for the softball team. Really tough day for her as she bleeds Badger Red but is very close with many of the athletes. She is also taking her NAT Boards today so wish her luck!

I have watched more UNT Football, Basketball and Softball this year that you can imagine. This is going to be an interesting game as these two are mirror images defensively which makes the offensive side of the game a real knock-down-drag-out kind of game. All I can say is there will be no real losers in our house tonight. - Best of luck and GMG and On Wisconsin!

I think he has played a couple games already with it.

This is the only year it's in Vegas.  Next year it moves to Indy.

Yeah, it seems it's gonna be like the NCAA Tournament now and move every year.  Perhaps it might settle in one city eventually but the next couple of years it's gonna be nomadic.

Word has it, broken hand. Will try to play if he's able to deal with the pain and cast.

Have either of you been to Hinkle Fieldhouse, and/or can you vouch for its supposed legend status?

Will Indianapolis show up for the NIT when Butler itself has been mediocre for most of the past five years?

Hinkle is a legendary venue.  I've never been, but I'd love to see a game there.

 

As far as the city showing up...maybe?  Indiana LOVES basketball.

Haven't been there.  But I wouldn't consider Indianapolis a destination city, for players or fans, like New York and Las Vegas are.   Not a reward.

I have been to Indy a couple of times for business and really like the town.  True, it isn't a destination like some other towns, but there are fun things to do there if you look around.  I drove by Hinkle and it is awesome if you like the old style, fieldhouse type venues which I do.

Yep, made his first shot against Alcorn and then didn't play many minutes against OSU.

Hinkle is awesome!  I went to the UNT NCAA game in 2021 and Indy is a great sports city.  I’d go back anytime I got the opportunity!

UW 14 -------- NT 8

 

14:59 to go

 

The Badgers are killing us from the outside.  Need to shore up the perimeter defense.

They can’t stay that hot right…. Right…. We are missing our depth. It’s a pipe dream but wish Moore would come it and just knock down a few threes. Almost how Hardy has done for the Mavs even though he is awful on defense.

      First College Net Rankings released

      😂 I hate revisiting the records and specific games of that era cause it was all such a train wreck. Still should be discussed from time to time when some of our fanbase gets restless with wanting to take the next step as a program. Trying to cement ourselves as a perineal Top 50 program is tough but we’re on the right track. I remember years back @TheTastyGreek putting into perspective how tough achieving a Top 25 ranking in hoops was relative to FBS football back in the day. Too lazy to go dig that up but it really highlighted how difficult it is generally speaking and then layer in what you’re describing above - what UNT has had to overcome from a performance and program perception standpoint.

      Seth loses OU gig

      Oklahoma hired Washington State’s Ben Arbuckle — just 29 — to be its new offensive coordinator yesterday. He takes over for the fired Seth Littrell, whose offenses sputtered in the Sooners’ first SEC season. Meanwhile, Florida Atlantic picked Texas Tech offensive coordinator Zach Kittley, just 33, to replace Tom Herman as head coach. -The Athletic Plus

      If Eric Morris wins a bowl game, will you forgive his past sins?

      I’ll never understand the mental gymnastics some on here do to justify this underperformance? We fired Seth after a Conference USA title game appearance- justifiably - so we would get someone to take the NEXT step that was elusive for his regime. Now we’ve got people making excuses for wasting the first year of Morris’ tenure by mis-reading the personnel that he judged to be “AAC title contenders” and then flopping. Didn’t use the portal well enough to beef up glaring deficiencies. Then brings back the worst, yet somehow highest compensated G5 DC in America for year 2 which led to an inevitable firing that even the most casual of football fans could see coming from a mile away before the season even started. The 2nd year performance was predictable as well, but extra dissapointing given the soft schedule 5-1 start. To end up 6-6 is nearly unforgivable. We’d better win this upcoming Bowl game.

      like how we finished 8-22 in Benford's last season and had a final ranking of 299?? at the time we were a few spots below a couple hospital teams, Detroit Mercy & Sacred Heart. now we're three back of UT https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/seasons/men/2017-ratings.html

      Agreed. But we can all also agree that this is a great jumping off point for UNT in NET. A quality indicator of the program’s overall progress since Grant first arrived. We’ve come a LONG way from the Benford era.
