Concerns:

We have been a little sloppy with the turnovers. We have to be better with the ball and not go in thinking we can beat teams by just showing up.

We are a great free throw shooting team and have been for a while. We need to start acting like it as we should be up by a wide margin right now.

Upside:

We are playing some great in-bounds defense. I am very pleased with the backcourt pressur we are applying.

We are starting to pull away in the 2nd half by protecting the ball better and hitting our 3s. We need to make these kinds of runs and bury teams of a lesser caliber.

Wow. Welcome back Dominique. That is the shot in the arm we need.

Challenge I happen to believe that Ben Knox will develop into a damn fine usable big man and if he don't I'll take my lumps.....

hogans was a starter with odufuwa. holmen got some rebounds but the group of holmen-knox-edwards as a whole second unit was poor in shooting and turnovers. to think otherwise means you did not see i

I did indeed see it live. We got 40 points off the bench. I don't care whether it was in the paint or on the perimeter... At least we're scoring off the bench. Also, if you look at scoring efficiency

UNT wins 92-66...

Nice...

THAT'S what I'm talking about...way to go Mean Green. Now, the warm-ups are over...on to Texas Tech Tuesday. It will be so very great to see UNT whip the Red Raiders!

GO MEAN GREEN!

I was able to catch most of the game in between my shop and office on MGP until the feed crapped out...a couple of things I really liked aside from the obvious TT and DJ nights:

Tyler Hall's assertiveness. Walk-on guard getting essentially his first career action and he confidently jacks-up 4 3's and 6 total shots...finishes with 6pts, 2rbs, 2ast and 0TO. If Alzee is out for any extended period of time, I'm confident in Hall for 10 minutes a night. I'd much rather a walk-on be too assertive, than too passive...passive tells me scared...assertive and with the leash JJ gave him tells me he has confidence and he's at least knocking down some of those shots in practice.

Kedrick. Welcome back...great energy and toughness...with perhaps a bit more offensive polish with 11pts. Plus, 3-3 and pure from the line...lest we forget he's a career 44% FT shooter.

22pts, 14rbs, 5blks from the Hogans-Holman-Edwards troika tasked with replacing Trammy. I doubt one of those guys steps in and fills Eric's void by himself...but combined game lines like that will make me happy.

Yes. Sign me up for that kind of production from those 3 for the remainder of the year please!

In a perfect world, I would like to see a little more from Holmen and Edwards though.

No doubt...Edwards at least looks the part...if the knee is a significant concern I wouldn't mind seeing him sort of saved up (read 10ish minutes) in OOC games like Rice, Texas State, Grambling...use him in the marquee OOC games and have him as fresh as possible for conference.

The stats I like from Holmen tonight are 8rbs (4 offensive), 2 blocks and only 1 3PT attempt.

Anybody else concerned over our slow start??

Yeah, we came back and kicked ass, but they played UGLY in that first half. They finally looked like the Mean Green with about five minutes left of the first half ... but man, it was nasty. We were behind much of the time ... but, after the half, it was like a different team.

And, I still defend my stance that Ben Knox is another tall awkward white guy.

Who's challenging that stance?

I still contend that eating Big Macs for most meals is unhealthy.

I was most impressed by DJ and Hogans play this afternnon. Fun atmosphere with the elementary kids.

I agree. The kids did make it fun! There was a group of high school guys (I think) that were having just as much fun as the little kids. That was awesome.

And, I cracked up when (pregame) one of the Pit Crew guys yelled "BRETT VITO!" and got his little sheepish wave from Brett. Too cute.

and, even at 8'8, I'm not on the Knox bandwagon. (and why I made my comment - last BB season, I bagged on him and got about a dozen red negatives and lots of people fussing at me about him.)

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      Yep, and thanks. So, are MSU and UTSA the only 2 ranked opponents we’ve ever beaten? I can’t find a good resource for that info but did hear it announced during the Army game. If so, that’s even more pathetic than I first thought: one win was via forfeit and the other was against a startup program.

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      Agreed. Similar case can be made for Simon, as he coached in the first few years of our return to D1 when half our games were body bag games. And the guys preceding him were playing D-2 schedules. But, the point is we are historically a really bad program no matter who is coaching, which conference, classification or stadium we’re playing in. Any time a UNT coach has success, we worry he will use as a stepping stone to a better program. We should be so lucky. Hugh Freeze, Mario Cristobal, Lane Kiffin are three former conference opponent coaches that immediately come to mind, now coaching P5 schools.

      An Old Fan's Advice To You Young Fans

      As someone who both hires and fires people, and who has had to tell people “sorry, but you just don’t meet our standard”, I cut Jared Mosley a little slack…until the season has ended. There can be times you know a change needs to be made but, for a myriad of reasons, you choose no comment over good or bad comments and you discreetly do what needs to be done. It isn’t flashy and doesn’t garner the headlines of a hardline “we DEMAND better!” statement, but the job gets done nonetheless. I agree that E. Morris is in well above his head, and beating ECU and a floundering Temple team won’t change that, but I can stomach a change being made at season’s end.

      Stone game has not gotten better and when he is on the floor, its 4 vs 5

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      The lost last year to FIU was enough for me to know this coach wasn't going to elevate the program.... We will be the weakness bowl team to get in....and I mean if we get in
