7 easy rating, with the schedule, 20+ wins should have been a no brainer and 25+ was easily doable, but losing important Non-Con games against the likes of High Point and McNeese hurts and then the horrible losses to UTSA and Temple, keep this team from being 8 to 9. Expectations are higher as the should be.

season - 6...with room for upward mobility with NIT success program growth - 8.5 Hodge has proven he can make two entirely different rosters into winners. we're going to our 4th straight NIT

6-7, a lot of wins but not a “championship ready” team.     There wasn’t a game, outside of Memphis, where I would say the team across from us just had a better roster…yet we found ways to drop

We have the following losses and people are saying this is a "6"?!?!? I agree that yesterday's game was a total let down, but the overall season is NOT a failure. 7pts  McNeese - Tourney bou

I really don't think a lot of you were saying this kind of thing pre-season.    I think these kinds of expectations were modified (by you, and anyone else who are trying to hold the guys to "higher expectations") after the team started 6-1 with wins over Minnesota, Oregon St, and Northern Iowa.

Naw. Every season is 20 wins or bust. Want to be taken seriously as a basketball program? Stack 20-win seasons.

      Crown vs NIT

      NIL isn't everything. Example: "But Calhoun’s loyalty comes with higher expectations. With USU making the move to the Pac-12 in 2026, he wants his salary in the top four of the league. He expects his assistant coaching pool to mirror that. He also wants his NIL budget to be in the top four. Right now, it sits at sixth in the Mountain West. USU has roughly $700,000 to $800,000 a year, he said. But that is significantly behind San Diego State, which can run from $2 to $4 million, he said."

      WVU to Investigate NCAA and Tournament Selection Committee

      Based on Win/Loss or based on Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 Win/Loss? Call me crazy, but I don’t remember Q1, Q1A, Q2, Q3, and Q4 from years past. Was Memphis a Q1 win for us last year? What Q were we last year? The year before? I sure don’t remember discussing our need for a Q whatever win last season. We just knew Fordham was a bad loss based on their record. Someone clue me in. 2017-2018 - Yikes

      Mean Green Host Furman In NIT First Round

      DENTON – The UNT men’s basketball team hosts Furman for a National Invitation Tournament first round matchup at the Super Pit Wednesday. The Mean Green (24-8) and the Paladins (25-9) are scheduled to tip off at 7 p.m. CT. The game will be broadcast on the Mean Green Sports Network, presented by Learfield and on ESPN+. Tickets to Wednesday night’s game can be purchased here. North Texas, the 2023 NIT champions, are in the 32-team national postseason tournament for a fourth straight year. They have the longest active streak and are aiming to become just the fourth team ever to win two NIT titles in three years or less. The tournament began in 1938. UNT, who is the No. 2 seed in the NIT Dallas region this year, has won at least one national postseason tournament game in each of the previous four years. They are just one of seven programs in the nation who can say that. Wednesday they will face a Furman team who has won 25 games this season, finished fifth in the SoCon standings and reached the conference tournament championship game. The Paladins earned an at-large bid into this year’s NIT. They are led by Bob Richey who is in his eighth full season as their head coach. He has led Furman to six 20-win seasons and reached the 2023 NCAA Tournament where they upset Virginia in the first round. This is the second time he’s led Furman to the NIT. Wednesday will be the first time these two teams have ever met. It will be the first time North Texas has faced an opponent who is an ac­tive member of the SoCon since the 2018 CBI when the Mean Green beat Mercer 96-67 in the quarterfinal round. UNT went on to win the 2018 CBI championship. It was Ross Hodge’s first season as an assistant coach at UNT under then first-year Mean Green head coach Grant McCasland A win Wednesday for the Mean Green advances them to the second round where they would host the winner of Arkansas State and Saint Louis on either Saturday or Sunday. For more information on UNT Basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or at ticketoffice@unt.edu. Fans can purchase tickets at www.meangreentickets.com or visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

      Crown vs NIT

      I refuse to believe we're going to lose our top 6 guys year over year, EVERY SEASON from now on. UAB lost 3 of their top 8 from 2023-24. Only one of their guys transferred to a different school, 2 graduated. We lost 6. Only 1 of those guys was out of eligibility. But, if we do, I feel confident now that Coach Hodge can ID ballers who work in his system, and get them to gel quickly enough to contend for a conference title. Prior to this season, how could anyone have that kind of confidence? And, "second best" to a ranked Memphis team... yeah, I guess I'll just have to settle for that. It's not like we lost a .500 coach, and replaced him with a sub .500 coach that is almost a mirror image of the previous guy in coaching style. Now, if NT had finished the season where they were projected to: 7th (Temple 17-15 overall, 9-9 in conference), then yeah, I might be concerned with where we are and if Hodge can navigate the portal & get us any higher.
