Memphis beat Rice by 3 points last week and they are the 14th ranked team in the country. Why is UNT supposed to blow them out? We don't have the most talented, athletic roster in the conference. The preseason coach's poll picked us to finish 6th. Again, why should we be blowing out everyone but Memphis in the AAC? Our style of play is going to keep most games close. I think having success and failing in some of those late game situations will help us come tournament time. The last 3 road games we have are all going to be tough. I'd be happy with a split on the 2 game Florida trip and Temple is undefeated at home in conference play. They should also have Mashburn back and he is the second leading scorer in Div. 1. I would love to see Hodge get those freshmen some minutes but that has been the case for the past several years. I'm sure the coaching staff has their reasons. I too, would like Vito to ask Hodge about that situation. GMG!
Those numbers are only meaningful to me if used in comparison to other AAC teams. NT is at the max and I think most of D1 schools are also unless they are currently replacing coaches.
Unless, you want to make the point that the NCAA limits are too high for all D1 teams.
The good news is we have more options than last year. In all of 2024, we only played four pitchers, and last weekend we tried six.
Skylar and Anderson are obviously 1 & 2 or vice versa. Childers struggled mightily at the end of last season and was an early exit from her only start/appearance last weekend. Hopefully she can get it turned around so that puts less pressure on the three freshmen. But I agree, it'd be nice if one of those can be the clear frontrunner to take over Skylar's spot in the starting rotation in 2026.
