The 2-0 ladies deserve a game thread.

After taking care of business against two D1 opponents this week, they travel to Eugene to play an Oregon Ducks team in what should be a winnable game. The Lady Ducks are 2-0 after wins over California Baptist and Nevada, but are coming off a season in which they finished last in the Pac-12 at 11-21, 2-16 and lost in the conference tournament to Colorado, 79-30.

After SFA transfer Kyla Deck led the way against Alcorn State with 27 points, the ladies used a much more balanced effort yesterday to beat Texas Southern. Four were in double figures: Moore with 20, Wooten with 16, Hardaway with 15, and Lampkin with 11.

The ladies play at a fast pace but still are too sloppy with the ball from what I picked up yesterday. This will be a great opportunity for a win against a power conference opponent.

This last game started with a whole lot of not being on the same page with each other.  Too many passes that became turnovers when somebody zigged instead of zagged.  The game changed when Aniyah Johnson went in and we started pressing.  She created turnovers that led to easy baskets.  Aniyah doesn't play a lot, but when she does there is usually an impact.  She has a role and she does it well.  It takes a mature player to play 4.5 minutes a game and be ready when called on.

It was also interesting that Coach Burton put 5'10" Talley on their tallest girl and not 6'2" Lampkin.  But, he was right.  She fouled out without scoring a single point.

It would be nice to get a win over a "name" opponent.

Team is good on defense especially with creating turnovers.  Offense has good shooters but we force post ups with Lampkin .  Dribble penetration from guards would help to then open up Lampkin through feeds .

That's the problem with playing a soft schedule the first two games...getting away with sloppy performance and overconfidence.  Not ready for Prime time. 

I hope the Men's team does not fall due to the same issues tomorrow night.

Winning two easy games doesn't mean you're not ready for Prime Time.

Correct.   It's just hard to simulate going against Top 25 in practice.  They will be a better team for seeing the difference in person.

So, what would have happened if we played Oregon State the first game of the year? Same result. They are just on another level than we are talent wise.

Just a bad day that snowballed on them. They need those early games to gel when you are working in new players, etc. It is what it is. Learn from it, grow from it and move on.

another chance for a signature win or at least close game against Top 25 and in typical UNT fashion, s**t the bed and then excuse makers come out trying to find a moral victory.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      Giving these coaches 4-5 year contracts can make them complacent. It seems they may not have the urgency to get things going due to the years they have, so they always feel like they’ll get that chance once again. Terrible thing for Jared to do for an unproven coach with no HC experience. I’m not going to count his IW stint since that’s a different division all together.

      Hi!

      B.S. You don't know that. It's just a guess. My freshman year was 1961, I was the vice president of a major fraternity,and neither that or either of our opinions means jack. Historically , with some exceptions, we have had an underfunded athletic department that put out a poor product in both football and men's basketball. For some reason[ which I can't explain],even after spending 10's of millions of dollars on bricks and sticks for the football program and increasing our athletic budget by million's of dollars we still put our a poor product. It's become difficult for those of us who have financially supported UNT athletics to the best of our financial ability, for years if not decades, to continue to basically throw good money after bad. I have always said expect more or you will get less but I am turning 82 in April and just don't see any change in the results of our football program.

      Clearance Rack Baylor

      How many people still respond to this guy's tweets trying to correct him cracks me up. The bit has been going on for years. I think the guy running the account wrote a book about it. The whole schtick is that he's wrong. But SMU is Clearance Rack Baylor, so he's right about that one.

      I hope we lose to Temple

      I know this was probably because of Thanksgiving break, but looking at the stadium, you could see this big time. The screen play has its place, we use it WAAAY too much. I know it is part of Air Raid, but it only works consistently against slow, bad defenses.

      What’s up with DT Sheffield?

      I have no doubt he is gone along with half of the roster. It's just a fact of life where we are with football, and some players that know they are transferring are going to start shutting things down early (not just at UNT, but something we definitely struggle with here). Not really anything we can do about it unless we start playing big in the NIL arena.
