I know there is still some time left in the game but I'm gonna go ahead and prounounce the one-and-done for our men.

Now, we didn't give them the kind of turn out ALL YEAR LONG that they deserved....but now we can stop the "why don't you attend basketball" threads.

Spring game is coming up soon....softball anyone?

Their inconsistent play tonight summed up their inconsistent suport all year long. In order to have consistent supoprt you have to play consistently well. This team shows signs of greatness and then lays an egg. They go out and beat Denver and lose to Western Kentucky on a fluke last second shot - then follow it up with losses to Sout Alabama (who is TERRIBLE) and a first round loss at home to a very mediocre team when you are hosting the tourney. Just not very good basketball at all.

Alumni working in and around the DFW Metroplex have real problems making it to games on time. My question is, don't we have 20,000 students living in and around the NT campus? Where are they? You'd think 4 to 5,000 students would attend a NT basketball game during tournament time. We have to depend on working Alums to go to games. Same old same old. sad.gif

Can't we just let this topic die???? Either for alumni difficulty getting to weekday games, student apathy, lack or promotion, inconsistent play....For WHATEVER reason, basketball just isnt as popular as football and doesnt get the support it deserves.

I agree with Emmitt ...how long to the spring game???

I asked several friends today and none of them really even knew UNT was hosting the tourney. how about the AD actually promotes the game a little bit and then maybe students will start caring.

All I saw tonight was a rehash of Vic Trilli games from 00-01.

There was no team here only 5 guys playing 1 on 1. The main play seemed to be race down the court then throw up a 3.

I'm relatively new to attending basketball games, but I saw VERY FEW inside center plays. Did we not have an adequate center or what? It was all just dribble around the 3 point line, shot, and tip in the rebound. Finally, in the second half they started driving to the bucket.

Although, I only attended two games this year. I enjoyed them greatly and play on doing the season ticket thing next year. Hopefully, we'll be better.

This is what I will say when it comes to attending sporting events. I left my post in PRINCETON, TX (east of McKinney), at 6 pm, the game started at 5:30. I hauled down 380 as fast as I could "legally" go, and got into the pit with 10 minutes left in the game. I know that alot of alums have to make a living. But, If I can make it to the game, there is NO EXCUSE as to why ANY student can not make it. If the students dont know about the tourney, maybe there are a few people that can go around and let people know about it.

Friday's DRC on the 1988 Coference Tourney in Denton:

Tony Worrell: "It was great in the tournament to look up in the stands and see 7,000 people there. It made all the work worth while."

Tony Hunter: "We were embraced by the students and the community as a whole. The crowd gave us a sense of urgency to play as a team and had a profound impact on us."

North Texas went into that tournament with a record of 14-12.

You forgot one other:

"We had a coach that knew how to prepare us and make good decisions during the game." Jim Nasium.

      Wings on Helmet

      Has the football program abandoned the winged helmet over the “North Texas” script permanently? Reminds me of when they overdid the “NT” throwback logo

      Happy Thanksgiving!

      By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation. Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor-- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness. Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be-- That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks--for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation--for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war--for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed--for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted--for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us. and also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions-- to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually--to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed--to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord--To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us--and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best. Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789. Go: Washington Happy Thanksgiving, Mean Green Nation!
