Stupid me for NOT being able to find total details about the tournament in Denton.

Drove up this afternoon thinking that I could watch at least 3 games for $14. Not so fast hoops fan. Got to the gate, found out that the 1:30 men's game was being played on the TWU campus. Also, discovered that the women's game was being played in the pit. No problem, I will watch the women's game, go out and get dinner, come back and catch two men's games. Well not exactly. Prices are $14 a session. Silly me, I thought that it meant all of today's games. By session the Sun Belt means two games. Lady wanted to charge me $14 to watch 1 women's game (the first of the session had already been played) and $14 for the 2 evening games. I decided to buy the one ticket for tonight and went on my merry way.

Now comman sense would dictate a few things to me. First off, I would be happy that an extra behind was willing to watch the women's game. Nothing against the ladies, but we all know that those games are sparsely attended. Secondly, why would you throw a men's game into a different venue? If I were willing to watch all four games, and I was from out of town, I would have to trudge across beautiful (sarcasm) Denton to view all four games.

We all know that there are some great games on tv tonight. Additionally, the high school playoffs are being played at SMU tonight. We all know that a team from the Sun Belt isn't going to win the NCAA tournament. We also know that the Sun Belt rep probably will not even make it to the final 32! UNT and the Sun Belt should be doing whatever is possible to get people like me into the venue to watch as many games as possible. Personally I don't understand minor conferences trying to act like they are the freaking Big 10. Watching these games isn't really that important to me, and if I had to do it over I wouldn't have purchased the ticket for tonight. In hindsight I would have driven to SMU and watched two pretty good high school games.

Some of you on this board have consistently wondered why UNT doesn't draw better. This is a good example.

The info regarding how many games make up a session and where the games are played has been on meangreensports.com since 02/14. It has been on sunbeltsports.org for some time as well. The info was out there.

      Is this what an “offensive genius” looks like?

      The defense was disastrous last night but stop with this "offense did enough to win" crap. A 3 and out and interception in the first 2 drives is not doing enough to win. Were it not for a defensive stop after the onside kick and a Porter 79 yard run, we'd have been down 21-0 and counting. Yes, the defense needs to do more but what high powered offense puts up 7 in a half? This team did the same crap last year. No offense in the first half and then when we put up garbage time points people say "look at the offense." The offense is bordering bad. Tulsa put up 46 on UTSA. Texas State put up 49 and even Rice put up 29. Just to show you where our "high powered offense" stands.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      Atrocious in "all 3 phases" (that onside kick was a film study discovery by UTSA) but E Morris is just a horrible game manager. Just stupid decisions on multiple levels. I wish we weren't in the bowl hunt so Caponi could be fired if at least as a symbolic action to show the rest of the staff (minus Cobbs) they need to step it up a bunch. To the decision making, it's all been said. The timeout at 2nd and 16 with 49 seconds to go when most offenses would just let the clock run out to close the half, not taking reasonable field goal attempts early on, poor playcalling (honestly surprised a screen didn't get intercepted), these things fall on Eric Morris. Just garbage level game management. It's like he's playing a video game where there's no real consequences. Time of possession was about 39 to 21 in UTSA's favor. I know Porter had huge runs but UTSA also had huge plays. Why is it that others are capable of sustaining drives and eating clock but our "elite" offense can't do so? Defenses aside, you'd think our supposed top notch offense could be more consistent. I know our defense needs to make stops more consistently but anybody please tell me why our offense isn't capable of having some 6 or 7 minute scoring drives? Morris needs to relax on the pace of game. Just idiotic at this point.
