Slinker seeks 200th win at UNT tonight

12:46 AM CST on Friday, November 18, 2005

By BRETT VITO / Denton Record-Chronicle

DENTON – Women's basketball coach Tina Slinker goes after her 200th victory with the Mean Green tonight when North Texas hosts Stephen F. Austin at the Super Pit.

Slinker is 199-240 heading into her 17th year at UNT. She is the program's all-time leader in wins.

"The only reason that I want that 200th win is it would be a great way to start the season off," Slinker said.

"I haven't really thought about it being No. 200 as much as I want to get that first win to get us going in a positive direction."

let's see. 200 wins divided by 17 years = not so great.

Makes you wonder how someone can stay on the job 17 years with a record 41 games below .500.

Only at UNT I guess.

Tina was vastly undersupported several years which means she was recruiting as a real underdog.

The negitive drift above is unfortunate. She has taken her club to the NIT & I think the NCAA not to long ago. Most clubs can't say that about their girls team.

She played a good NCAA tournment team into overtime to end the season last year. Sorry you al' missed the game!

I was at the game, it was a good game.

We were still one and done at the tournament that we hosted, and she still has a terrible career record.

If it weren't for Jalie and Rosalyn...yikes.

      If we win out reg season we are in?

      as of 1/24, here are Lunardi's (who I hate) bubble teams and their resumes: UNT - 15-4, 6-1 AAC, 46 NET, 0-3 Quad 1 games Last 4 In - - Pitt - 13-6, 4-4 ACC, 34 NET, 1-6 Quad 1 games - San Diego St. - 13-5, 6-3 MWC, 42 NET, 3-3 Quad 1 games - Ohio State - 11-8, 3-5 BIG, 29 NET, 3-6 Quad 1 games - Texas - 14-6, 3-6 SEC, 32 NET, 3-5 Quad 1 games Last 8 Out - - Nebraska - 12-8, 2-7 BIG, 63 NET, 1-6 Quad 1 games - Indiana - 14-7, 5-5 BIG, 68 NET, 2-7 Quad 1 games - Cincinnati - 12-7, 2-6 Big 12, 48 NET, 0-6 Quad 1 games - SMU - 15-5, 6-3 ACC, 44 NET, 0-4 Quad 1 games - VCU - 16-4, 6-1 A10, 45 NET, 0-1 Quad 1 games - Arizona St. - 11-8, 2-6 Big 12, 59 NET, 2-7 Quad 1 games - Xavier - 13-8, 5-5 Big East, 55 NET, 1-6 Quad 1 games - Wake Forrest - 15-5, 7-2 ACC, 71 NET, 1-5 Quad 1 games it's pretty tough to make the argument that our resume is better than any of those Last 4 In as things stand...especially as all 4 will have more Quad 1 games throughout the rest of the year. that said, I think we're pretty damn comparable with those next 8 schools. we'll almost certainly only have one more potential Quad 1 game...and that'd be a neutral site re-match with Memphis, which ideally is for the auto-bid. this just more and more underscores how we need to be doing so much more in our non-con scheduling. I'd say there's a path, but it's quite slim. this projection also only has one MVC and one A-10 program in...which seems ridiculous...and the path in get's even tighter should there be a few conference tourney upsets. keep winning, hope Memphis keeps winning as well and hopefully we're cutting nets in Ft. Worth and this whole conversation is moot

      We had Greeks at the game!

      This thread sucks now.

      The two requisites, as I see it, for us to make progress in attendance, revenue, and community support is an AD who is both ebullient and creative. We currently have an AD who is diametrically neither. In my memory the only leader we have ever had who possessed those qualities was Hayden Fry.

      It's a real problem that needs real solutions. All we can do as alum to fix this awful attendance issue is just bitch and moan. But it's a serious problem that I feel didn't have to happen and could be resolved.

      Um, who's "you"? Do you mean UNT beat UH in basketball? Or, finding this guy in the parking lot of a tourney game? If the former, let's not get carried away. If the latter, God Speed.
