In 2022, the event saw a complete sell-out with over 13,000 fans filling the stands...

So... the Super Pit isn't large enough? 🤔

Probably had more to do with parking and hotel issues for visitors.

Not a cool as when we hosted the NCAA in the Super Pit..... but, okay.  Whatever. 

Given that TCU is located a couple miles away this reflects very positively on our Athletic Department. UTA is also much closer to the Arena.  I call it a win.

Could have something to do with affiliations with AAC?

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but why is not TCU hosting this event? Anyone have a clue? I mean we play no men's sporting events in Ft. Worth that I am aware of.

From Google:

The NCAA selects host schools for the basketball tournament based on several factors, including:
  • Regional ranking: Schools with higher regional rankings are more likely to be selected as hosts 
  • Geography: The location of the school in relation to other teams 
  • Facilities: The quality of the school's facilities 
  • Attendance history: The school's history of attendance 
  • Revenue potential: The school's potential for generating revenue 
  • Willingness to host: The school's interest in hosting the event 
  • Travel costs: The committee may consider schools that are closer to other teams in the pod to reduce travel costs 
The NCAA also considers the ability to create a great experience for student-athletes. This includes providing ample lodging, ensuring the location is easy to travel to, and adhering to NCAA principles for safety and respect. 
 
The NCAA selection committees also build the brackets and decide which schools will host each weekend.

I can only assume that our history of attendance pushed UNT to the top.

      IF we have to keep Morris 🤢

      I can’t get over how the offense just dies all of a sudden. As soon as they lose (or can’t establish) a rhythm they’re obsolete for an entire quarter and a half. (Ex: Memphis when the defense actually held and made them go 3 and out multiple times before the flood gates opene; Army when they couldn’t do anything the whole game; ECU and the abysmal 3rd quarter; heck even against Tulane they were only up by like 3 before the end of the half and got super lucky with multiple short field positions due to mistakes). The statistics for the offense feels hollow. Super explosive but no capability to sustain a slow, clock bleeding drive. Which means short time of possession and longer time for the defense to be out there. I guess live by the air raid, die by the air raid. (And they’ve been consistently dying)

      ****OFFICIAL ECU vs UNT IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      S.O.S. We made too many mistakes…we didn’t play complimentary football…had our chances…I could’ve called a better play to help us out…defense gave up too much…blah blah blah. It’s the same excuses he puts out there the past 5-6 weeks. Seems to me that all goes back to coaching. All of this is a product he created with his environment and culture. This is what you get when you have a coach that’s inexperienced and doesn’t know how to get out of funks. No proper adjustments and make the same mistakes over and over and over again.

      Here’s next year’s schedule Ooof we play both Army and Navy next year. Not looking forward to seeing more 13 minute, 20-play drives put on us.

      What’s up with DT Sheffield?

      Didn't he come in a play or two after the DPI call on the 3rd down pass to Conwright? I agree with you though that it was bizarre. I was searching for him on the sidelines and wondering why he wasn't in the game. It's a complete head-scratcher even after sleeping on it.

      Honest tactical question here…

      100% yes. This is the Achilles’ heel of the air raid system. To win consistently with the air raid, a deep defensive bench is needed to keep fresh legs on the field. Otherwise while the offense is high flying, the defense is absolutely gassed come the 3rd and 4th quarters. No disrespect to Mike Leach but I’m over the air raid system. I want to see us run the ball, dominate the line of scrimmage, control the clock, and allow our defense time to rest so they can in turn make stops. This is complimentary football.
