First, let me say I'm very pumped about NT getting to the finals. But thank goodness MTSU found a way to beat the top seed. This team is bad! This is the first time I've seen them this season, but if they find a way to get to the tourney NT will get KILLED by a 2 seed, maybe even a top seed. But, I don't want to rain on that parade, because I've always wanted to see us in the Tournament.

Pretty much.

This game was not representative of how good we can play. But good teams can win ugly...like we did. Win or lose tommorrow, this has been a helluva ride.

Does it never, ever stop? Please, God, make it stop.

Of course! The MG has only won six out of the last seven games and three of those were on the road. Oh, and what about that top seed (USA)? Well, UNT got KILLED by one at USA. UNT is also second in the conference in scoring offense at 78 ppg, which is just 0.3 less than WKU.

We having been hitting our outside shots, but we still have won in the tourney. We'll look better IF we can get the outside shooting touch back. But, the team didn't look sharp mentally tonight, whereas they did in the last half last night. But, MTSU didn't look like they did last night either. I wonder if both teams weren't somewhat tired?

This is the first time I've seen them this season

That pretty much sums up your entire post. This is not a bad team. This is a team that has made dumb mistakes down the stretch that has hurt them in close games (some by the coach). However, this team is very athletic, has 5 to 6 guys that can hit the three and 2 big men down low that are decent enough to hold their own but aren't really asked to do a lot. A bad team, even in an average conference, doesn't win 20+ games. At worst this is an average team, but a very dangerous team if they hit their 3's. The 3 pointer is college basketball's great equalizer!!

You are correct. If NT is hitting the 3ball, it's almost unbeatable.

Tired of the close calls :/ Just once, please, I would like this team to be hot on the 3 and just completely obliterate an opponent like they can.

I'm going to look for a radio feed for the other semi final.

Fell free to rip me, but if today's game is representative of this team then they aren't that good, be realistic.

I mean come on, they have no real offense to speak of. It's pretty much one-on-one and hope somebody gets a shot. They force shots, they have poor spacing, they made a lot of questionable decisions. Those are things you can tell from one game and don't have to see them all season. Maybe today was an off game fine, but it's easy to tell they're not that good. And I don't care about winning 6 of 7, this league stinks.

MTSU is HORRIBLE yet they found a way to stay close throughout. It's ok to take off the green colored glasses every once in awhile.

HOWEVER, let it be known, NT making the tourney will be a close 2nd to the football team winning the New Orleans Bowl.

Of all people southbendgreen, you should know better than to watch one game and pass judgement on a team based on that.

True,

But even in watching one game you can tell they aren't very well coached. And I've never been one to call for JJ's head because I haven't seen enough games, but anybody who's watched a lot of basketball can tell they aren't very good. Again, though GMG!

I don't recall you ever seeming this nasty. For what it's worth, this team is athletic enough to overcome poor x-and-o execution. Memphis is an awful lot in that category. Let it all out, then put the Green Goggles back on and take a win however they come!

I thought that was a sort of cheap shot on the league. It's not a great league, but it's our's; we won 20 games in this league dealing with the cards that are dealt and it's gotten us on the verge of a Big Dance invite, some serious NCAA money, and some attention from fans that would otherwise not visit this board. We had 62 users visiting this thread. Is that a record? W/e the case, it's good attention.

Okay, but don't get offended. I just think you picked a bad time to post this crap. Come on, at least let us enjoy the win. Am I wearing green colored glasses? Hell yes. I know we can't hang with top 20 teams, but I am enjoying this ride.

Basketball Jones has the team peaking at the right time.

The team is PUMPED.

UNT wins tomorrow night.

For all of you who are still critical of "our" team or "our" coach then IMHO there is another local board where you can make your negitive posts.

I am really excited about this victory and refuse to listen to "trite" posts that still critisize the UNT BB team and the coach. Everyone else should share in the enthusiasm of what is happening.

Congrats to BB Jones and the team for another win..........#22.

Tuesday night........#23.

How in the hell can you decide a team is bad after 1 game? Just plain silly. In case you haven't noticed, we are 22-10, and have a consistently top ranked national offense (always top #30, sometimes in the teens) for most of the season.

      IF we have to keep Morris 🤢

      I would have already fired Morris but if he stays it needs to be with several conditions. 1) hand over play calling duties to an OC, either bringing in someone or elevating Davis or Cobbs to the position. (I think Davis already has the title but we know it is meaningless). 2) bring in a new ST coach 3) replace the strength and conditioning staff. Too many injuries this season and the team is gassed by the end of the game and getting steamrolled. 4) new DC needs to run a system that can stop the run and must be able to adapt throughout the season to account for opponents and personnel losses. And all of the above needs to be overseen by the AD’s office. And no contracts for more than one year. Obviously this means replacing most of the staff, which at its core means we should really fire Morris and bring in an experienced HC who already knows how to build a staff. But if we are being cheap, at least the assistants don’t require buy outs. I would also like to see the AD renegotiate Morris’ contract to reduce the base salary/buyout and increase the incentives for accomplishments, including bowl wins and championships.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?
