Memphis isn’t as dominate as they appear. They are barely squeaking by lately. I know all teams can go through it. And I assume that’s what’s happening here.  We need them to be dominate (except when they play us). It’s good for our conference.

Quite a turn a round for utsa though. 
 

they were really bad last year. 

If you know how to work the transfer portal, you can flip things around in a season. Look at Smut.

Would have been hilarious for Memphis to lose, but again I want them to be ranked when they come to Denton. Glad FAU stayed in the rankings this week as well.

I really would've thought that FAU would've dropped out, but good to see there's a little more faith in AAC teams than there would've been in CUSA.

Memphis played great down the stretch with UTSA just making too many mistakes. Shots weren't dropping well for Memphis but they got the job done.

Memphis won by 6 but their FT differential was: 43 FTA for Memphis to 21 FTA for UTSA. Memphis needed some home cooking to barely beat a UTSA team that is 275 in KenPom rankings (that is BAD). It's clear that FAU is the team to beat in the AAC, and even then we've seen that FAU isn't invincible. College basketball can't sleep on the Mean Green!

I don't know what it will take for us to finally get the respect that we deserve, but running through this conference like a steam roller definitely will help!!

I didn't watch the game...but don't just take the FT attempts as a sign of officiating. UTSA jacked 45 threes, 60% of their total shots, compared to Memphis taking just 23. I'm betting that explains the free throw discrepancy more than "home cooking"

I did watch the game and it was BS. Regarding the 45 UTSA 3s vs 23 Memphis 3s, so Memphis never got too close to a UTSA shooter on those 45 attempts but they call this for a Memphis 4 point play?

 

But really it's this stuff I had issue with. A good, solid screen with seconds left in the game and they blow the whistle. Illegal screens can get tricky but I don't see the UTSA player leaning in or to the side to make himself bigger. If you want to say he was late to the spot and was still moving, I'd say it's not obvious and I don't believe it's worthy of the whistle. Would have given UTSA an uncontested dunk to take the lead with less than 6 seconds left since the whistle was blown at 6 left to go.

Neither of these are egregious fouls and Memphis was not being officiated the same way. Did you watch the game? If you didn't, you won't understand how bad the officiating was.

Yes Memphis had 15 free throw attempts between the 4:48 mark to the end of regulation. During that time, Memphis made 2 field goals. In that same time, UTSA had 5 free throw attempts.

I didn't watch, but I saw clips on Twitter that were pretty rough calls against UTSA. Obviously, they were UTSA fans, so they were biased with their views, but they had some right to be upset. Memphis seemed to get a lot of the 50/50 calls in a game that was really close. I don't like UTSA, but it's pretty disappointing that officiating seemed to take over the game down the stretch.

      UNT Basketball Beats Oregon State, 58-55

      DENTON – Atin Wright hit a game-winning 3-pointer with seven seconds remaining as the UNT men’s basketball team defeated Oregon State 58-55 at the Super Pit on Monday night. Three North Texas (5-1) players finished with double-digit point totals as the Mean Green remained undefeated at home this season. Latrell Jossell finished with a season and game-high 15 points. Brenen Lorient scored a career-high 14 points, extending his streak of double-digit point games to three. UNT has now beaten two high-major teams this regular season — they defeated Minnesota 54-51 on Nov. 13. It’s the first time they’ve accomplished that since the 2010-11 season when they beat Texas Tech and LSU in the same year during the regular season. The Mean Green continued to be one of the most efficient defensive teams in the country, forcing 22 Beavers turnovers, UNT’s highest total since Nov. 26, 2020 when the Mean Green defeated Mississippi Valley State 116-62 at home. "Our ability to turn them over 22 times in a one-possession game was the separator," head coach Ross Hodge said. " That's a really good team that can really shoot. We talked about it in one of the [media timeouts] that we were going to really have to string together some of our best defensive possessions and I thought that group in the second half was really good." North Texas took a close 26-25 lead into the locker room at halftime. Oregon State (4-2) came out hot to begin the second half and held the lead until the 5:38 mark. 13 of the Beavers’ 22 turnovers came in the second half, ultimately leading to the Mean Green’s close victory. North Texas travels to Kissimmee, Fla. to take on Northern Iowa on Thursday at 7 p.m. CT for their first game of the NIT Season Tip-Off. For more information on UNT Basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or at ticketoffice@unt.edu. Fans can purchase tickets at www.meangreentickets.com or visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

      The Band

      high school band director was a mistake. band has regressed. drumline is abysmal, no confidence, no arrogance, no true talent. last 2 years the drumline has been the worst since the 80s. need to drop that best damn band in the land and best drumline in college football....not even close to being true.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      We are starting to cut into the deficit created by the first game compared to last year. Now only down 8.72% in terms of average attendance. Last night was the highest game 4 attendance of the last four years, but to be honest, I was a little disappointed it was only 3,292 for a "name" opponent (yes, even during Thanksgiving week). November 25 was our earliest game 4, but a much stronger opponent. The previous 3 years it was 12/4 (LSU Shreveport), 12/3 (Omaha) and 12/2 (Miss Valley State) respectively. I mentioned this during the in-game thread, but the ESPN+ broadcast sounds like the commentators are off site in a soundproof room or something. Not hearing the crowd noise and the excitement in the arena really detracts from the game experience. Need a better audio production. I switched to the radio stream and it was much better from that perspective.

      Oregon State (11/25/24)

      Oh I agree with the philosophy in general, just not how it's being executed currently. baring quick foul trouble or a dumb mistake, I'd prefer to not make any changes until at least the first 4 min timeout. let your starters find some kind of rhythm in the game. I've noted numerous times already this season of a player knocking down a shot or two and/or making a few key plays and then getting sat...Jossell in the McNeese loss leaps to mind, I know its happened to Dello a few times as well. I'm gonna assume Hodge's rationale is that at least the first few subs are scripted and he's asking so much of his team on the defensive end that he wants to keep a sharper rotation, but it feels a little extreme to me right now and not always in tune with the flow of the game/a player's night we're not quite approach Benford-esque line-changes (though maybe only b/c Hodge doesn't have ten players he trusts), but it's bugging me just as much
