Huge series win against Charlotte this weekend. I am still optimistic we can get this season going when it matters most. While we will have a week break from conference play going to Columbia to play Mizzou, new first-place team FAU (11-4 in CUSA) will have to go to WKU, who swept us. Our second-to-next series in Boca could easily be a battle for second place if WKU takes two of three. FAU has won seven straight, but six of those were against FIU and UTEP, who are a combined 7-23 in conference play. They have only outscored opponents 18-6 in that seven-game stretch.

Meanwhile, Mizzou is 25-19 overall on the season but only 4-13 in SEC play, and 8-6 at home.

We have faced several of the same opponents and fared better against all:
Texas: UNT lost 4-2; Mizzou lost 11-1
Oklahoma State: UNT lost 2-0; Mizzou lost 6-3
Kentucky: UNT lost 4-0 (no-hit); Mizzou swept in three games, combined score of 16-0

Mizzou also played at FIU this season and defeated them 8-0. Unfortunately, we will not play the Panthers in the regular season.

The worst thing about the next six games against Mizzou and FAU is that they are on the road.

Mizzou enters the series tomorrow 26-20. They lost two of three in their last series at home to Ole Miss, who's only 5-10 in SEC play now. Then only beat Kansas (20-20, 2-7) 4-3. I would expect to win at least two of three in this series.

It's nice it's streaming, but the budget for these SEC+ games cannot run over a couple of hundred dollars.

Please explain why we couldn't at least do something like this again for the Spring Game.

Got to be the worst hitting performance I have ever seen from NT softball.

Not that they got not a  hit, they looked like they had never seen a softball before. 

Again, there is something rotten in Denmark going on with this team.

It's like they hope to walk and will hit if they have to. To say we are passive at the plate is an understatement. We just made a 9-9 pitcher look like she belonged on the National Team. Sadly, with the preseason hype, this has been one of the school's most underachieving teams in years. Hopefully, we can still do something in the conference, but postseason success seems unlikely.

16 errors by Cierra Simon.....10 more than anyone else on the team. And last year....she was so good at short. She's reminding me of Abou in basketball.

As the SS I would guess that she had at least 10 more errors that anyone else in 2022.  So, the replay in the first game showed that the umps blew the call at first and Simon was given an error.  If they had made the correct call she would only be one error off of last year.  I'm sure that she wanted her fielding avg. to be better than last year, but her fielding ain't the problem.  When the 5-9 hitters that finished the game have a combined BA of .215 you don't need to look any further than that to identify the problem we're having.

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      We've shown over the last handful of seasons that we have one of the most suffocating defenses in the country. I still think the defining game of this era was the NIT semi against Wisconsin when we held them scoreless the last nine minutes of regulation.

      Breaking: North Texas lands Miami QB Transfer (Free)

      Ok so what's your suggestion? Don't get a QB? I'm confused as to what the end goal of your argument is. Regardless of who we get, we're going to suck? Looks like you're complaining just to complain.

      Not thrilled about playing State

      I'm looking forward to the game. In-state bragging rights up for grabs and a good built-in storyline with the two head coaches going head-to-head. Should be a lot of hype leading up to the game. I know we have a couple games on future schedules, but it would be good to rekindle the series. Give me an annual matchup against Texas State over the likes of South Alabama or any FCS opponent. I'm not going to call this a litmus test for coach Morris, but it's pretty close to one. His tenure has not gotten off to the start we were sold on. In fact it's been pretty disappointing. In two seasons, Morris has a record of 11-13 (.458). Those 11 wins have come against teams with a collective record of 45-87 (.341). His signature win is against South Alabama who finished 6-6 in the regular season this year, but did win their bowl game to finish 7-6 to become only the second team with a "winning" record he's beaten (FCS SFA at 7-5 is the other). Ouch. 2 of the 11 or 18.2% of coach Morris's wins have come against FCS opponents. 4 of the 11 or 36.4% of coach Morris's wins have come against teams named Tulsa and Temple. This is going to be an important game for coach Morris. I hate to utter these words, but is this an "opportunity" game? If we win, he will get a little bit of a lift and goodwill for the program and his tenure so far. If we lose or do so in embarrassing fashion, I think his time here is running out. Of course, I don't know how we treat bowl games anymore. They run the spectrum of meaningless exhibition games to the game that defines a coach's legacy. Should be fun.

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      Sure. But this wasn't the first game I have thought this about. My knowledge of hoops is limited and I try to stay out of posting on the BB board for that reasons. Maybe it happens multiple times every game played by every team, but it seems like NT's defense forces this turnover type regularly against good and bad teams. Probably just selective memory. GMG
