I say NT will WIN, by 7, 81-74!

Memphis is way over confident thinking NT is going to roll over!

This is basketball! NT is on a roll and the team is ready and wants this game!

I beleive our defense will be the key in screwing up the high powerd

memphis offense. They are stating all types of stats, ESPN fan voting,

and quotes from so called BB experts.

Looks like American memphis Idol voting!!

Memphis is in for a major shock to their pipe dreams!

I wish I had your faith. :D

By game time of EVERY game, I always think we have a chance. I'm still realistic at this point. I figure we'll play'm close for about 16 minutes. They'll get it up to about 15 at halftime. They'll push it to 25 early in the 2nd, and then call off the dogs. We'll end up losing by 17 or so.

me too.

I think its close at the half, opened up in the second good enough for a 15 point Memphis victory.

#2 seeds are 84-4 against #15 seeds.

-An NT win would be both glorious and stunning.

-A single-digit loss would be very good.

-A loss by 10-18 would be decent

-A loss by more than 20 would be disappointing.

The worst thing that could happen, would be to fall way behind early on and stay within that 20-30 point deficit range the entire game. If Memphis gets up big, they will start resting their starters and make the final score closer than it actually was.

I say Memphis is up by 12 at the half and wins by 18. This would not be a bad showing on NT's part.

Neither Davis or Watson can have one of those really cold shooting days, or this game will get out of hand fast.

I look for Memphis to be up by 18 at the half. However, at the beginning of the second half, I look for JJ's boys to be raining 3s like a bayou deluge. By the 10 minute mark we will be within 4 points. Memphis will then regroup and stretch their lead back to 10 with 4 minutes to go. But then Calvin Watson goes en fuego, everybody steps up, and we take the lead by 1 on a Calvin Watson layup with 5.3 seconds left. We forget to guard the inbounds pass, and as time runs out, Memphis wins the game on a 3. Or does it?? After officials review the play for 12 minutes, they disallow the shot, and North Texas wins by a point!!

"NT is on a roll"....how about Memphis? They have won their last 22 in a row.

I hope that we can be close most of the game and lose in the end by about 10. I sure would like to eat those words but only if North Texas wins.

I'm not going to New Orleans to see us lose.

Sturns hits a 50 footer at the buzzer, NT wins by 1.

I predict same result, different way to get there. Memphis misses a half-court shot at the buzzer -- NT wins by 1.

Over on the Memphis board, they really beleive this game is a blow out by 20-30 points!

I am with FFR, I did not come here to lose!

I'm sorry that they feel that way. I'm sure they won't lose to us by that much. :P

If SMU could hang with them and almost win a few days ago then we should be able to do AT LEAST as well. Anyone think an SMU team that lost twice to both Tulsa and Rice is better than us? I say we win by three. I would give the details, but my crystal ball only gives the final results. :)

And we have our poster. "We didn't come here to lose!"

I wonder if CBS will use the correct logo? I'm shooting off an email now.

GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!

Oh yeah. I had some green koolaide today. We win by 6 and are the darling of the tourney ruining everybody's bracket.

UNT upsets Memphis by 3 and is only 1 of 5 #15 seeded teams in NCAA history to do this. Score will be something like 85-82 with Watson nailing a unbelievable 3 point shot with a few seconds on the clock. KD also has a fantastic game and bounces back big time (as he always does) from his poor performance in the SBC tourny against ULM. Watson gets 25 points, and KD 18. JJ will also have to use ALL of our big men (including Jonathon Jackson) because of foul trouble due to JJ's instructions for our big men to "rough up" their players when they shoot. We are going to frustrate them with our physical play as well as send them to the foul line all game to disrupt their offensive rhythm. Teams like Memphis (and probably us) hate it when the action slows to a crawl, even if they are shooting free throws.

UNT wins this one in incredible fashion. After just twelve minutes in the first half. Our entire starting line up fouls out except for Wooden and Williams. The back up guards come in, except Ruffin, and foul out too. We finish only with the bigs plus Ruffin and win 126 to 42. No one has ever considered the chemistry of Wooden, Williams, Howerton, Jackson, and Ruffin would make. Get ready for a new fab five to shock the world!

Hey, I know what he's talking about. When I was younger, my buddies and I always referred to eveything as an NBA record.

Your car stereo holds the NBA record for loudness.

I set the NBA record for most homework on one night.

I think he holds the NBA record for owning the most albums.

He just set the NBA record for most times being late.

You get the idea.

I thought they said only 4 teams (we'd be the 5th) with a #15 seed have beaten a #2 seed. Is this wrong?

If they press the whole game we I predict we lose by 20+. If they don't press it will come down to the buzzer with neither team winning by more than 3. I just hope its the team in green up by 3. :)

Memphis has got one hell of a streak going on. I believe one of OUR favorites(Da***s Mav*****s) just had one broken by the G.S. Warriors who just happen to have a previous Dallas coach and were probably heavy underdogs. This game is also going to be played on the eve of St. Patrick's day(will EVERYONE be wearing green yet?) And this weird scenario will take place in the voo-doo town of N.O.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I love bowl week and we finally got a great game in Boise. What a fun year for NIU. A win over Notre Dame and double overtime win to end the year. They showed some stones on those 2 drives in overtime. Love their style of play. Wish they were a slightly better fit for the American. They are Midwest hearty at our level. A solid G5. I’ve teetered back and forth about our game, swinging from we’ll get blown out with no Morris, to let’s do this. Get this bowl win in January 2025. My hope comes from our battle testing. We played some solid teams and played them fair to well. Army was strong when we got them, Tulane was legit until the end, San Antonio got hot when we got them, same with ECU. Memphis was Memphis. We beat the SBC and MWC. I don’t know. The SBC seems a bit shakier in ‘24 and we were grilled all season. We may be just as good as TSU and surprise. Viva the American. GMG

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Especially when (and yes I keep harping on this same thing) the whole thing started because players were initially claiming they should have a share of the revenues generated from the use of their N.I.L. in broadcasts and video games. It's interesting that the ONLY share they've gotten from those is the $600 EA Sports money and NO TV revenue. Regarding "trickle down", that's gonna' be hard to do when most schools are LOSING money on FB. https://www.on3.com/nil/news/what-is-nil-everything-you-need-to-know-about-this-major-change-in-college-athletics/ You're right about the chaos and I'm all for MORE of it in order finally force some kind of sanity to this whole thing.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I couldn't tell you what Bowl most of the P2s played in last year either. Didn't care, still don't. The whole Bowl era is outdated. They should just scrape it and go to a larger playoff of 32 teams.
