SBC is now 4-3 against CUSA in BB this year.

The SBC edged CUSA in FB, last year, and BB this year.

Seriously, we may want to reconsider changing conferences!

just a thought.

Indeed.

That's 13 in a row for USA, so they're clearly the team to beat in the tournament. They would also be the only 'Belt team that would have a chance of an at-large NCAA bid if they get knocked off in the tourney. I'd like to see them win out and win a couple of Sunbelt tournanemt games (before we beat them) to get their record to 25-8.

Please.

Rice, UH, Southern Miss, and SMU will all draw larger NT crowds than FIU, FAU, ULL, ULM. They will also create more interest statewide as well as in the national media (whether you SBC lovers realize it or not, we are still the least-respected conference) , from the casual fan, and even the NT alum that hasnt been around in a while.

And before someone posts the stupid "UH didnt draw that well 20 years ago when we played them" remember, this is a different time, we are in a different conference, and we have a different and larger student body.

Screw the belt. Build our program, get into C-USA or better and build that conference.

A snowball's chance in hell USA gets an at-large if they tank in the SBC tournament. Ain't gonna happen. A 7 loss team from a conference with an overall RPI in the 200s and no real competition - no chance. They better win the tourney, or we'll look even worse in the Big Dance.

As for CUSA, what he said.... and at least they have a legit Final Four threat in Memphis.

I dont know. They have the wins and if they finish 2nd in the tournament we MAY see 2 teams in the tournament. I agree that the only real guarantee to go to the dance is to win the conference tournament. How many teams went to the dance out of the sunbelt last year?? Never mind I'll look it up.

      AAUP sends letter to university administration

      International students can have their visas revoked for different reasons, and this has been the case for a long time. Many of those reasons have nothing to do with what this letter alludes to. "It is currently unclear when and why their visas were revoked."

      UNT Basketball Hires Kwanza Johnson To Coaching Staff

      DENTON – First year UNT men’s basketball head coach Daniyal Robinson on Wednesday hired veteran coach Kwanza Johnson to his staff as an assistant coach. Johnson joins the Mean Green after two seasons on Robinson’s staff at Cleveland State and with over 25 years of division one coaching experience. In his coaching career Johnson has won eight conference championships, won seven NCAA Tournament games and recruited and mentored numerous NBA draft picks who have gone on to win multiple NBA championships and an Olympic Gold medal. During his two years at Cleveland State with Robinson, Johnson helped lead the Vikings to back-to-back 20-win seasons. In his second season in Cleveland the Vikings won 23 games, their most single season wins in 14 years. CSU finished second in the Horizon league regular season standings and made the championship game of the 2025 CBI. CSU earned 10 total Horizon All-Conference honors in Johnson’s two seasons with the Vikings, including two first team honors in Tristan Enaruna in 2024 and Tevin Smith in 2025. Cleveland State in 2025 ranked in the top two in the Horizon in offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency. The Vikings won 13 straight games from Dec. 7, 2024 through Jan. 30, 2025, their longest win streak in over 28 years. Prior to his two years at Cleveland State, Johnson served on the staffs at California (2022-23), Tulsa (2019-22), Little Rock (2016-18), TCU (2013-16), Georgia (2009-13), Nevada (2006-09), Eastern Illinois (2005-06) and he got his coaching start at his alma mater Tulsa (1997-05) under Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer Bill Self. While at Georgia from 2009-13, Johnson mentored AP All-American Kentavious Caldwell-Pope who was the 2013 SEC Player of the Year. Caldwell-Pope was selected by the Detroit Pistons with the eighth overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft. He is a two-time NBA champion with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020 and the Denver Nuggets in 2023. During Johnson’s three-year tenure at Nevada from 2006-09, he coached eventual first round pick, three-time NBA champion and 2020 Olympic gold medalist JaVale McGee. In total so far, Johnson in his career has mentored nine players who have gone on to be drafted into the NBA: Luke Babbit, Caldwell-Pope, Nick Frazekas, Armon Johnson, Travis Leslie, McGee, Michael Ruffin, Ramon Sessions and Trey Thompkins. Johnson also coached current Oklahoma City Thunder Kenrich Williams while at TCU from 2013-16. Williams, whose number was retired by the Horned Frogs, wasn’t drafted but has played seven seasons in the NBA and in 2023 earned a veteran extension contract. Johnson got his coaching career started in 1997 on Bill Self’s first Golden Hurricane staff. Two years later, Johnson was part of the staff that led Tulsa to a historic 32-win season and reached the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament and finished the year ranked No. 18. An Oklahoma City native, Johnson played collegiately first at Rose State College where he was one of the top junior college players in Oklahoma. In 1993 he transferred to Tulsa to play for legendary head coach Tubby Smith. Johnson was a catalyst that ended the Golden Hurricane’s NCAA Tournament win drought as he led his team to two Missouri Valley Conference titles and to back-to-back Sweet 16 appearances as its captain and all-league performer. He earned his bachelor’s degree in economics from TU in 1995 before adding a Juris Doctor degree from the TU College of Law in 1999. He and his wife, Kim, have three children: Kaitlyn, Kendall and Kalli. Kwanza Johnson Coaching Career Tulsa (1997-2005) Eastern Illinois (2005-06) Nevada (2006-09) Georgia (2009-13) TCU (2013-16) Little Rock (2016-18) Tulsa (2019-22) Regular season champ California (2022-23) Cleveland State (2023-25) North Texas (2025-present) For more information on UNT Basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or at ticketoffice@unt.edu.

      We’re not alone

      I'm so sick of this narrative. how often do you really think Mid-Majors make the Sweet 16? Middies in the Sweet 16 2024 - San Diego St., Gonzaga* 2023 - Florida Atlantic, Princeton (15 seed) 2022 - St. Peter's (15 seed) 2021 - Oral Roberts (15 seed), Loyola-Chicago 2019 - Gonzaga* 2018 - Loyola-Chicago, Gonzaga* 2017 - Gonzaga* 2016 - Gonzaga* 2015 - Wichita State, Gonzaga* 2014 - Dayton, San Diego St. 2013 - Wichita State, LaSalle, Florida-Gulf Coast (15 seed) 2012 - Xavier (still in A-10 at the time) take Gonzaga out of the math and you're basically at 1 per year...with maybe extra qualifiers for Xavier and SDSU...so zero isn't really a statistical anomaly...basically '16, '17, '19 were all zeroes, pre NIL/portal. one tournament does not make a trend.

      Like the pro's contracts need to be put in place. It could be structured in such a fashion were you could have some type of predictability for both the team and player.
