How about we beat someone first? We lost all the meaningful match-ups so far. 

I Strongly Disagree.

We beat Minnesota on the road (who just knocked off #20 Michigan). 
We beat good ORSt, AppSt. & UNI teams.
We beat the current 1st place AAC team (UAB).

We have people on gmg.com that don't think we're a good (MBB) program until you're T25.  CFB brands and rankings shape their view of MBB brands and rankings.

I don't think these wins you listed look meaningful to the casual fan.  Which is unfortunate.

I get it, if NT wins; it is because the competition is bad.

If NT loses, it is because NT is a bad team.

Do you not find a little wrong with that analysis?

Elaboration on that a bit:

Teams NT has lost to:

McNeese St. 61-68 away, MS is 12-5 and undefeated at home, lost to #2 Alabama away 73-80.

Utah St.  57-61 neutral, USU is 16-2 including a win over #20 San Diego St.

High Point 71-76 away, High Point is 10-1 at home, and like NT no one wants to play them; so their home schedule is not the toughest. 

Memphis 64-68 away, One of NT's best games that has just about been ignored by the general press;  Memphis is supposed to walk over the conference not get a last minute home win over a league opponent.

This only applies to football.

Than why are you posting it in the basketball section?

Just drawing parallels. Sure, I will start a new thread in football just to reference this thread. 🙄

I like how sports reference provides the SRS (simple rating system) score and SOS for each of our teams going back to 49-50. Right now the current team has the second highest SRS, behind our NIT championship team. 

Pretty crazy that the 6 teams of this decade comprise the entire top 6 in our school history. The Blakeley and Spika teams are the next highest, even above the Johnny Jones years. Spika years definitely had impressive results in a good conference.

Cool, fun find @BillySee58.  If anyone else is curious, here's football.  Not trying to derail, so maybe worthy of its own thread in that forum.

Pre-1980 teams dominate the T10, lone exception being 2013 HOD Bowl winner.  Also, interesting to see this past 2024 season so high.

      Big dumb question.

      Contracts could be for one+ year(s). Employee status would bring tax questions into play. FICA and income taxes would be due .

      Do we still only play 7-8? 😝 This is what I have. This was tough. We’ve had some pretty great players. Lorient is more potential that straight up production. Starters: Javion Hamlet Rubin Jones Aaron Scott Thomas Bell Zach Simmons Reserves: Ryan Woolridge Tylor Perry James Reese Brennon Lorient Abou Ousmane Too good to leave off: Deng Geu Kai Huntsberry Moulaye Sissoko Jason Edwards

      Big dumb question.

      Why put players under contract when in the current form, you can just dispose of those who aren't performing every season? Scholarships are currently renewed on a yearly basis. Putting players under contract would mean you'd be looking at deals worth 2+ years. What happens when a guy just isn't working out but you're on the hook for another year so the scholarship can't be used for somebody else? I know you could say with "NIL," you could just give enough to cover tuition and some extra but I doubt the boosters would want to pay that much for an unknown player just because a scholarship is used up on another bad player. Reality is, coaches hate when players leave after a great season but those same coaches are quick to push guys into the portal if they're not working out. I'd be all for contracts at our level, though. Contracts mean you can include buyouts so if you really hit on a prospect, I'd love for UNT and our NIL to get some money back for developing a good player.

      If you were given ten picks to build a roster (so, a starting five and five off the bench) made up exclusively of players from the McCasland/Hodge era…who ya got?
