Blowout!

[greenminer]

Tough to lose if you're hitting 50%+ from beyond the arc.

[Green Lantern]

Good W. Great to get Wright back on track early after Memphis.

Great game! Would have loved to have seen Vice.

He played the last two minutes of the game.   Thought they were going to get in sooner.   Rice never got closer than 20 in the second half.

Dominating win in front of a tiny sleeping crowd in a canvas of a facility. Love the win. Hate the aesthetics. Easily the worst attended game/atmosphere I have watched on TV save for Grambling at TX Southern the other night. Yay. UNT has to do better at treating every game in "revenue" sports as if it's the Wyoming at North Texas football game. Frankly, it's teetering on downright embarrassment. Fix the attendance.

Good dominating win, honestly I expected a little more from Rice, but it was an excellent way to rebound from the Memphis loss.  Also UNT went from 70 to 60 in the NET, thats a huge jump at this point in the season, and I can't figure out why a Q3 win at home cause that.

Loved the focused, fearless attitude of Wright. He played with a chip on his shoulder, and you could tell the Memphis game lit a fire under him. He needs to come out every game looking like that.

blowing out teams helps the net rating

If it were that easy, it would have been done years ago!

God help us it is FOREVER until the next game.  Memphis will play 2 AAC matchups BEFORE we see our next one.

Can't be done if they don't try.

You're right, they never try!  Why would the athletic department want fans to attend the games?

What did they do to promote last night's game other than an email to current fans calling it "retro night"?  What effort is made?  I am usually pretty positive with my outlook, but we should be filling the SP up.

To top it off, the announcers for last night's game, who were one step above terrible, mentioned the  Snake Pit during the telecast and how it was still just across the street.  Want to know how one of those morons claimed it got its name?  He stated that back when the campus got heavy rains, snakes showed up in the gym coming up through the drains.  I swear I am not making that up.  Where is our SID?  Where do they get BS like that?

Show me one example of how they have tried to fill the SP this year or in the last 5 years.

I assume it's the "efficiency" factor in the NET equation that benefited from last night.  That or the results of other games impacted this.  Not totally sure, but it's a good question.
