Hines, no question about it. They guy took care of the ball, scored points when he had to, and always was grabbing rebounds at a position which it isn't expected from him. I would like to see him become a shutdown defender however.

Leonard was great, but Hines made the offense run.

We have a lot of work to do in mens hoops.

Hines did it all. Except make free throws when we really needed them, but he had the best overall season.

Who on this team made free throws when we really needed them?????

I'm sure the free throw issue stems from the UNO game. (The Skip-Bo game, we did well from the line). To defend Hines in that instance he was playing with leg cramps and he was clearly not himself, on offense, defense, and obviously at the line too. If anything, that game showed his value because with him on the bench, the last 4 seconds aside, we saw a 10 point lead evaporate in under a minute. If you recall the TCU game, the team fell apart without him as well.

I voted for Hines too. I think all his contributions have been mentioned, but on top of all that, he was easily the most consistent player on a team that struggled with consistency.

I voted for Other. And, I mean this in all seriousness.....

My MVPs for the 2004-2005 season: The guys who founded The Pit Crew.

I think they have started a great, new spirit group.....which hopefully will be around for many years.

If I had to pick a player, I'd go with Oh! J. Simpson.

I agree, he is very adept at cutting through defenses and shredding opponents. I'd like to see him work on more slashing to the basket and slicing around double-teams. ohmy.gif

Who was the MVP for the Mean Green men this season?

On the court, Hines. I bet he becomes more of a vocal leader as well by next season.

Off the court, Pit Crew. The Crew's enthusiasm was contagious for the rest of the crowd. Hopefully it will continue to grow.

      He got a five year deal. He's made $2.5 million off of us so far. ($1.2m in year 1, $1.3m this year) And I believe he gets $100k more each year. So his next three years....he'll get $1.4m, $1.5m and $1.6m. As I bitched about earlier this year, before I stopped going....he didn't show up for his first radio show, and stayed for half of the next four. And yet he gets a $300k a year stiped for radio/TV (which raises his base salary from the original $900k). Hate to break it to you......he isn't going anywhere..... https://herosports.com/fbs-north-texas-head-coach-eric-morris-career-record-contract-cpcp/#:~:text=Eric Morris agreed to a five-year contract in,total pay in 2023%2C according to USA Today.

      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.
