Should we storm the court if we defeat SMUt tonight?

GoGreenBeans · January 25

I don't care how much we hate SMU (it's a lot), but storming the court will be a terrible look. SMU already thinks they're our "Super Bowl," so this wouldn't help our case. Memphis comes into town in February. Assuming they're still ranked at the time, we storm the court if we beat them

No we should save it until a more meaningful victory.

As long as someone promises to run over Caitlin Clark

Yep! And let's do that with all of the students we pick up as "die-hards" tonight (whether they rush the court or not). Fingers-crossed!

It shouldn't be.
Us, along with TCU & UTA should have a round-robin each year to crown the metroplex champs. Rotate home/away between teams each year. If tied, point diff crowns the champs. It just makes too much sense, and since there are so many non-conference games in basketball, it should be fairly easy to schedule.

In the past [ and I mean way back ] there was talk about having a holiday tournament in DFW with UNT,SMU,UTA, and TCU as participates.Naturally it sounded too good to be true, and as it turned out it wasn't.Oh well!

Its the last time SMU will ever play at UNT. If the students want to rush the court let them have a good time.

I'll take that bet for any amount you're stupid enough to wager.

The only thing more embarrassing about asking if we should storm the court for SMU is actually storming the court for SMU.

Yikes

So. Did the students storm the court?

TV coverage cut away quickly after the game.

They did. The players ate it up & stayed out there with them.

They did not. They came on the court as a part of the after party. There was no storm- in that entering the court.

Dude that’s incorrect. They rushed the cpurt right in front of my section. I sawr it with me own two eyes.

BigWillie · January 26

When I looked over, it looked like a couple were about to try but they had Denton police and security lined up right in front.

I hope they don't do that when we beat Memphis and FAU in Denton.

OK. Not all of the student section dumped out immediately after the final whistle like we would normally call "storming the court"... my bad, technically. Sheesh.

But:

As heard from a student on the way out “we didn’t storm the court, we were politely let on” lol

And those kids I’m sure will remember this moment and have a much more fond outlook on UNT athletics for the rest of their time at UNT and beyond than kids who showed up for the first time to watch Benford ball get run out of the gym by SFA or something.

Y'all were 13-5 (4-1) with nice wins over FLSt, & current 1st place Charlotte, in addition to a nail biter VS Memphis.

Hate to rain on your self-deprecation-for-the-sake-of-excusing-your-loss but... Y'all are good.

I anticipate February 11 to be another really great game between 2 very good teams.

I hope, but am not very confident, that you are right. Because if you are not right, next year will be very very painful for SMU.

Yeah I’m sure you’d be saying that if that 3 at the buzzer had gone down. 🙄

You're the ranked 35 in the NCAA NET rankings, number 2 in our conference.

Comon be a better sport. It literally came down to one shot. If that 3 had gone down, I would be unhappy, but I wouldn't be saying our team is not that good. It's the kind of game you shake the other team's hand and just say "Good game." We have sure been on the other end of that.

Go back and look at our Fordham game. Lost by a fingertip to a team that's a 3 digit NET team. Doesn't mean we aren't good. Bottom line is it's hard to win road games in any league. See the big 12 right now also.
