Meh. This is North Texas basketball. I expected to win.

Game wasn’t near as close as this score. Hit our FT’s and we win by 15+. Best overall game we have played in a while. Four more wins.

I don't want to hear anyone saying we don't need our own basketball facility.

USA Today article on NIT (UNT mention)

"Last year, North Carolina turned down an invitation to the NIT after missing the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2010 — besides the 2020 competition, which was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The North Texas Mean Green were happy to accept a bid and ended up winning their first NIT title."

LSU tickets are being sold as General Admission for $20 each.

If it were on a weekend I'd go... I wonder if any of Aaron or Rubin's extended families can make the 4-hour trip. Need some Mean Green representation!

Winning this would be nice if for no other reason than we SHOULD HAVE beaten them the first time and it'd show growth.

Not to look past the Tigers, since as the first showdown showed the game will be no gimme, but I wonder if we could host 2nd round in the unlikely event that Seton Hall goes down.

Buggs is from LA. Sort of a homecoming for him. I’ve seen a large following for him at a few games.

Alot will depend on the mentality of the two teams. Who is more excited about playing in the NIT? It will be interesting to see how hard each team plays. Really quick turnaround. GMG!

Genuinely surprised UNT got into the NIT, but glad they did. Time to turn all the good play into post-season Ws with a chance to make up for one of those Ws that got away early in the season, i.e. LSU

The Johnny Jones Bowl!

If NT loses, he has to powerwalk from Baton Rouge to Denton

He'll be in Stephenville coaching at the time of our game, so he will have to ride bareback to Baton Rouge and then powerwalk shoeless from Baton Rouge to Denton.

LSU fans knocking the NIT....such cry babies! 

I can guarantee you there are a few lurking posters that are biting their lip, that would (and possibly will) chime in with how we should be above this NIT stuff.

I like how you get play different teams outside of your conference and also see how you stack up against them.

      Another NIL Coaching Casualty

      Please move if needed, posting here as it's related to NIL and is probably more applicable to football than basketball. Miami basketball head coach is resigning. The following are quotes that should be of concern to any fan but especially some of your blue blood programs. What happens when you can no longer outspend your peers so your legendary coaches leave? Saban was the most name worthy retirement but there's been plenty others and here's another big name leaving. NIL will be reeled in when the big money boosters lose their favorite coaches, no longer see the wins on their records, and see they can no longer just money-whip their way to success. From the Miami Herald: “At this point, after 53 years, I just didn’t feel that I could successfully navigate this whole new world that I was dealing with because my conversations were ridiculous with an agent saying to me, `Well, you can get involved [with a prospective player] if you’re willing to go to $1.1 million, and that would be the norm.” ... “What shocked me beyond belief was after we made the Final Four just 18 months ago, the very first time I met with the players, eight of them decided they were going to put their names in the portal and leave. “I said, `Don’t you like it here?’ They’d say, `I love Miami, it’s great.’ But the opportunity to make money someplace else created a situation that you have to begin to ask yourself, as a coach, what is this all about?’’ He added that he tried “every which way” to make things work, but “last year was a disaster”, and this year was not going well, either. He felt the new players were not buying in as transfers had in years prior." https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/college/acc/university-of-miami/article297597538.html

      Breaking: Cash McCollum Enters Portal

      Bringing in Poffenberger, signing Jimerson and Mestemaker returning, Cash probably realized he wasn’t going to get any playing time here soon. Best of luck to him.
