I don't like to put too much emphasis on any one OOC game, but this is a huge contest for us. I really think we need a quality road win(that isn't a short bus ride away).

If we don't win by 20 I think it should cost JJ his job. This isn't the football team...we have expectations for basketball

Agreed. NT is now officially a basketball school. JJ's job is most definitely on the line in this one.

20 wins and no post-season tournament?

If you don't know the bit, don't chime in.

Seriously, this is a huge one game stretch.

It's the cost of more fans -- deal with it. Maybe we could make "Cook Rice" or "Whip Uncle Ben" shirts and embrace an even larger fan population?

Wait, scratch that last one. Forgot a key detail to that box lid -- FOILED AGAIN, EE!

Rice got taken to the woodshed last night by Harvard. I will be there with my son. Last time we played there our crowd was not too bad and the arena has undergone some nice changes.

also South Carolina and Tulsa punded wku and osu respectivly. I think little rock took a hard loss this week also. I guess it is a dwon year for the belt. New Orleans got a win over Tulane. mtsu and ulm lost.

Denver actually looks like the class of the league at this point. I'm not sure that's the best news I've ever heard, but it is what it is.

They've been good so far, but man do I hate that style of basketball they play. Plodding, junk up the game hoop.

Actually, when it's running smoothly, I love watching the Princeton offense. Backdoor cuts are beautiful if done right.

Maybe I've just never seen Denver exectuing their offensive system in the preferred manner (never seen them play at home). In the last few years I've watched them play in person several times. I've not been really impressed with their offensive system as much as I have thier ability to slow things down, junk up the game, and make the other team play a pace/style that's uncomfortable for them.

All that being said...I hate their style of hoop. Just my opinion, but in my experience with them, it's been a boring, plodding thing to watch.

Well, it definitely is a slow down attack. I mean it was developed at Princeton so Pete Carill's teams could even the playing field against more talented foes. But slow isn't necessarily plodding. See Princeton/UCLA in 1996 for a great example.

Maybe they'll change my mind on it when I see em' play here again in February.

For CMJ and CBL. I know that this system works well & can be a great equalizer against more athletic/up tempo teams. Just pointing out that my experiences in watching Denver play live in Denton and the SBC tourney in the last couple of year hasn't been that great of an experience. Especially when I compare some of the great games that we've had against WKU, MTSU, UALR, & UNO in past years.

      If I was Coach Hodge, I would have this blown up and posted in the locker room. I would tell the players that this is what people think of you and we need to go out and dominate every team defensively until people start putting some respect on our name. Then when people do start to put some respect on our name, we need to dominate teams some more to leave no doubt.

      Some are arguing on their board about who's better between Yale and UNT. They really can't get past the UNT loss. I really want to get poporn and make an account just to let them know we've finished higher than MN in NET every year since 2020.

      Seems like you've gotten over the speeding ticket well.

      Caponi fired

      I think this is a cop-out. He’s been doing this crap since the beginning of his tenure. The first memorable time was against Navy last year on the first drive of the game from the 1. If in the 5th game of year 1 he was already feeling like he needed to score every drive because of the defense, that's an even bigger problem. I think not having a reliable kicker or punter is the main problem. He went for the points a few times early this season and it didn't work out. Same with some punts that just don't do a good job at flipping the field. I've mentioned in other threads that special teams has also been a problem. Evans is 89th in the country in average punt yardage. We have to have a short kicker and a long kicker. Who the eff does that at this level? That's two coordinators that Morris flopped out on. I'm just waiting on us to move on from Svobada at season's end. Was looking over his profile and I didn't know but he also has Tight Ends this year. Where have the Tight Ends been lately??
