The discussion was UNT vs the SEC. And you will not see a 17-14 Arkansas/Georgia/Texas team in the tournament. The SEC will see to that as quality teams are just going to be grinded to mush in the blender known as their conference schedule. There will be no bottom 1/4 of the SEC making the NCAA tournament. The talk of 13 teams is just for social media engagement. The true discussion is UNT as an At-Large vs a 10th/11th place SEC team as an At-Large. The 10th.11th place SEC teams have a much better "resume" and it won't be close. I read "very quality low major" and thought TEMU. 😄 -

Three huge tests in their next three games. If they can beat USF again in Tampa this weekend, that'll set up a battle for first place in San Antonio on Tuesday. Get to the Pit and support this team. Burton is 39-14 at UNT.- 2

It's not an argument about SEC vs AAC. It's an argument that I don't give a shit about seeing 17-14 Arkansas or Georgia or Texas in the tourney. Piss on UNT in regard to this argument. For the sake of keeping some purity and sanity I will argue against the bottom 1/4 of the SEC even sniffing a tourney bid. It's a terrible precedent. But, in the defense of UNT, we went on the road to play very quality low majors in HP and Mcneese. This would be comparable to the likes of TCU or OU agreeing to come to The Pit and eating an L. Shit happens.- 2

I don't think all of college basketball is out to get North Texas. The argument that no one wants to play UNT does not hold water. An excellent opportunity for Quad 1 opportunities are MTEs. We choose those. We are typically one of the last teams in the NCAA to finalize our schedule. Why? Uconn, Michigan, USC, Duke, etc all decline our attempts? Take control of the schedule and Wayland Baptist, Texas Wesleyan, and Houston Christian would not be season highlights. We could have increased our Quad numbers/record vs projected tournament teams, but we lost to McNeese, we lost to Utah State, we lost to High Point, and we lost to Memphis. Non tournament teams lose to tournament teams. Which teams have we defeated that are currently projected to be a tournament team? 16 wins vs non tournament teams and 0 wins vs tournament teams is not the argument you want to make to a selection committee. Control your own destiny and secure the AQ bid. Our current schedule/record is not tournament worthy. 10 of the 16 teams in the SEC are ranked in the Top 25. They are going to take losses because they have to play each other. South Carolina/Arkansas to the AAC are 8-0 / 7-1 not 0-8. Oklahoma/Texas/Georgia/Arkansas are 8-0. Imagine playing 10 Top 25 ranked teams (some twice) in an 18 game conference schedule. Brutal - absolutely brutal. We beat 11-9 (now 11-10) Wichita State on the road by 4. Trade Wichita State for Florida who has an average margin of victory of +27 at home. I can really see UNT beating Alabama on the road and Auburn in the Pit. Odd discussion re UNT vs the SEC.- 1
