...for over 15 years I've watched this program take 1 step forward and 2 steps back. All the good from the Charolette win is gone in one night. I remember the win on TV against ULaLa a few years ago followed up with a bad conference tournament.

When is this team going to learn that it does no good to get fired up for the big boys just to let down against the mid-majors.

Whether the final bucket was good or not does not matter. The bottom line is if NT is for real, they should have put UTA away in a dominant way and been playing walk-ons late in the game.

Just like SMU's lost to us in football was a bad one that may come back to haunt them, this is the kind of lost that can keep you out of the NIT (forget NCAA tournament) no matter what you do later in the year. It's especially bad considering it was at home.

doesn't the winner of the sun belt get a automatic NCAA tournament bid?? cuz if so, this game has no relevance on that

Where did this come from? Other than maybe the month is half way over and you must be behind in your quota of running me down.

No one wants to waste thier time scrolling past your idiot posts

Yes, the conference tournament champion gets an automatic bid. What I was implying and the others were commenting on is we have never performed well in the conference tournament. It almost become a forgone conclusion that we will not win the conference tournament. In addition, I made reference to the post season NIT which is not for conference tournament champs but by invitation only where strenght of schedule, good wins, bad wins all come into play. This is the kind of loss that prevents you from getting invites to the NIT considering we do not have a lot of strong opponents on the schedule besides WKU.

BTW, I'm not saying the season is over at all. I'm just commenting on this being a bad loss and our history for lack of consistency.

      Huss Leaving High Point To Be Creighton's "Coach In Waiting"

      I said this before, regarding football, but the transfer portal is just killing my joy for college sports. I quit CFB a few years ago--it just cost too much and it took too long. CBB isn't long for my fandom even though it's my favorite sport to follow. I could handle the fact that coaches could leave they wanted-it made sense. I don't like NIL but I understand why its there, but its easy to exploit and declare it "legal" to pay. But the portal is the ender. A brand new team every year, basically, if you have any success from the season before...its just impossible to support it with any kind of logical approach as a UNT fan. And this isn't even counting the ways the university actually acts about our teams, as well.

      NBA benches are also filled with...checks notes...10 NBA basketball players. there's a pretty big difference in calling down Dwight Powell and trusting he can contribute after a string of DNPs than asking the same of Brock Vice

      I think it was pretty telling that when Massie was out only Stone got the spare minutes. Stone was a trusted part of the '23-'24 rotation (30 GP, 14 minutes/game) and then completely fell out of the rotation last season (16 GP, 5 minutes/game)...so it didn't appear Hodge had much "senior-loyalty" to get him minutes... maybe, just maybe Mason wasn't actually ready to contribute last season.

      1. I understood your point, that's why I noted that you were making a valid argument in regards to having players ready to play. 2. Definitely cherry picking. Let's go to Google so everyone is working off of the same definition: A basketball team's "rotation" is the group of players who are most likely to be on the court during a game, as opposed to those who are primarily bench players 3. I feel like that is rarely, if ever, seen in college. 4. When you win your NCAA tournament games by an average of over 23 points per game, you probably had a lot of games that bench players got extended minutes.

      Players changing every season is the part that hurts programs that need to build fan bases. Fans “buying into” a program takes excitement over seasons of watching the same players. You follow the Mavs to see Luka. It’s an investment as far as buying tickets and donating and getting friends to come, etc.
