"Our student athletes played with a lot of heart, and we are proud of them," President Gretchen M. Bataille said from New Orleans. "This game meant a lot to the Mean Green and shows the growing strength of our basketball program and our athletics program overall. The men's basketball team being in this NCAA Championship Tournament plays a critical role in our ability to recruit top-notch student athletes and gives sports fans all over the world the opportunity to learn more about our teams and our university."

I'd say we made a good hire.

The sad part is that is just basic common sense. Thankfully, the leading university of the DFW Metroplex finally has a president who appears to have good common sense.

You're right about that. Often it's important to state the obvious to reinforce the idea and to telegraph what you're after. This says we want continued improvement and higher visibility for the athletic program and the U.

I think she also understands what Ben Franklin said: "Well done is better than well said."

It was great to see her at the game. i wanted to go up and thank her but I had to leave immediatly after the game. Its one thing to say that she supports athletics, but its another to actually be at the game. That was what I realy liked about Dr. Pohl, supporting ALL aspect of UNT. I was really encouraged by this. I believe that she will be a great supporter of UNT.
