DNJ Article from the Muts board.

In the last two Sun Belt preseason polls since the voting format took its current shape in 2003, 70 percent (7 of 10) of the picks among the top five were proved right on the money by season's end.

That's right, the preseason poll actually matters — at least in heightened sight.

North Texas has been correctly pegged first each of the last two preseasons, while most of the rest have also fallen right into place.

Your title is: "Polls never perfect, but always relevant, Sun Belt Pre-Season Polls"

If you think that polls can't be incredibly irrelevant, you haven't spent much time on gomeangreen.com the past couple of months.

      Would You Really Rather Talk NIL/Transfer Portal

      I think the city tries to balance us vs TWU. Denton can’t go all in on either one so it goes part time effort on both. I have no proof, just a vibe.

      State of College Football

      Nobody watches regular season college basketball. When the football Monet dries up how will a nice G5 basketball program generate revenue to stay that way? If you aren't a rabid college basketball fan and really interested in using UNT basketball player's Name Image & Likeness what is a UNT Basketball Player's image worth if he or she isn't on the NBA or WNBA's draft radar? We will never be able to afford to outbid any of the top 25 basketball teams.

      UNT Basketball's Wright Makes Game Winner To Seal 18-Point Comebac

      DENTON — Atin Wright hit a game-winning 3-pointer to cap off an 18-point comeback as the UNT men's basketball team opened American play with a 78-75 victory over reigning league tournament champion UAB at the Super Pit on Tuesday. North Texas (10-3, 1-0) trailed by 18 in the final seconds of the first half and went into the break down 17. Early in the second half, the Mean Green locked in defensively and went on an 11-0 run to chip away at the deficit. Senior Latrell Jossell buried 3-pointer after 3-pointer, finishing with a single game season-high six and ending the game with 20 points, his 10th career 20-point game. With 3:57 left in the game UNT captured its first lead since early in the first half as senior Johnathan Massie finished a layup to put North Texas up 71-69. The game went back and forth from there on out but the final shot belonged to Wright who sank his contested 3-pointer as the clock hit zero. Wright finished with a game-high 22 points and was 11-11 from the free throw line. "It really was a tale of two halves," head coach Ross Hodge said. "We've competed with these guys a lot through the years and it's hard to explain just how physical they drive the basketball and how aggressive they are. We locked in defensively and started grabbing rebounds and getting stops." Next up for UNT will be a trip to No. 21 Memphis on Jan. 5. The Mean Green are aiming for their first road win over a top 25 opponent since 1971. For more information on UNT Basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or atticketoffice@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.
