But nonetheless, we have NEW ORLEANS at home on Thursday. The Privateers beat us in a nip and tuck contest about a month ago. This is in OUR house though. And as I said in chat, I like our chances vs anyone short of the top 25 in the Superpit this season.

We must win...ASU and Monroe keep doing so. We have to stay in contact.

The way this team can open up they could beat anyone outside the top 5 on any given night. The problem is they don't play that way every night. We should take UNO no problem as long as JJ lets them play at their pace and not UNOs or his.

The Box Score shows a crowd of 3500 for the game tonight. I know it was a weekend, contest - but the team needs a similar sized crowd for the UNO contest. I can't stress enough how big this game is if we want to stay within striking distance of Arkansas State and Monroe.

BTW if the season ended away this would be the brackets.

#1 - USA

Bye

#9 - UALR @

#8 - FAU

#13 - Denver @

#4 - Ark State

#12 - UL Laf @

#5 - UNT

#3 - WKU

Bye

#11 - Fla. Int'l @

#6 - MTSU

#10 - Troy @

#7 - UNO

#2 La Monroe

Bye

This is the game the AD needs to pull out all the stops on campus and in the newspapers to get the students there. Shoot for a car or free books or a semester of rent, something. Winter Bikini contest, Greek 3-legged race for cash...something, anything to get people in the pit and goin nutso.

Great point. And why not get it formalized somehow that everybody in the Pit holds up the talon during our free throws, and everybody sticks around for the alma mater? Maybe with a pregame announcement. After all, the Green is what we're doing it all for.

For that matter, I'd like to see the words to the 'mater up on the jumbotron, with everybody singing it.

Ritual breeds success! Success should also breed ritual. We've got something going here.

You're right, Rick, but sadly it will never happen. After all, it's only basketball.

I think people would come for basketball. Basketball is big here in Texas and I think as of right now they would rather go see a NT basketball game than a football game(pre TD era). Not to mention its indoors, nice atmosphere, nice arena and most of all the team is winning. I think if you market and sell it right theres no reason we cant get 3000-5000 people in there against UNO.

3000-5000 STUDENTS are what is really needed.

I'd settle for 3500 total again...however they come. Honestly, I'm just hoping for a good sized crowd. We had over 3K several weeks ago for a game, and then proceeded to go into the 1300-2000 area until the WKU game.

That should NOT happen for UNO.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      Unless you only care about bigger donors and have contracts that get extended for staying in budget, like RV had. The sad thing about attendance is that we even have an issue with it. A school this big with this large of an alumni base, in a giant metro area and we can’t sell out the 31k seat football stadium even one time EVER and the 10k seat Super Pit hasn’t seen a crowd of close to capacity in decades. But as someone said, it’s not like the Murchison Center is ever filled to capacity or the Art Department can’t keeP people from seeing an art exhibit or dance performance because too many people are attending. Literally, nobody cares about ANYTHING the university sponsors in any decent number. It’s like the complete 180 degree opposite of A&M, where the brain washing is so strong that these people only wear maroon and khaki and drive maroon cars.

      AAC Tourney Prediction

      The NIT isn't anything close to being the HOD Bowl. I don't think people realize how tough it even is to get into the NIT. There are over 350 D1 schools. You basically have to be in the top quarter to make it into either tournmnent. There are like 40 Bowl games...over 60% the schools that play DI football make one. Making the NIT is like...making the Gator Bowl or something. If somehow we ended up in the Gator Bowl that'd be the biggest deal the football team had ever accomplished.

      Miss Cherie Spencer

      As they say in the business, "We got a Steal"! Young lady looks like a potential WNBA pick. Hope all goes well for her at UNT first. I think her HS is in a lower classification because her game is more advanced than her competition (most games). Just finished watching a game against Benton, LA on Feb. 20, 2025. (NFHS Network) Looked to have scored about 30. Hope it doesn't hurt her average too much. #2 Ranked 2025 recruit in the state. https://allstatesugarbowl.org/news/2025/2/5/spencer-AOM.aspx https://www.lgrbasketball.com/2025-rankings Go Mean Green

      Women’s Hoops Begins AAC Tournament Monday Night Against ECU

      Good win, but if I were Burton, I would have us in the gym tonight shooting free throws until our arms fell off. Should have beat them by 20.

      AAC Tourney Prediction

      I wouldn't be surprised if one of those 5-8 teams makes a run. UNT has been hot and cold, but they just had a good look at Temple, so they should have a good game plan going into their first game assuming its against Temple. The possible match up between UAB/UNT could almost be a toss up, UAB plays later Thursday night and that could be important. The program need to be in the best tournament available to them. Because this team will most likely need to do some major recruiting again this off season.
