Great plug from Channel 4:

"And North Texas beat the Tech-men"

That's it.

Saw that too. Everyone needs to call "Tell it to Tim" and leave an ugly message. It's hard to reach your fan base and get them excited when they don't get the news.

Oh and we need to just hire Canalas or someone for the cheap so we can save money for JJ in the future.

This was one of the best games I've witnessed at the Pit - ever, and I've been going to games since I was a teenager in the 80's. Loved it!!!!! From the music fraternity singing the anthem so well,

West division champion? eh...kinda pointless since we were Sun Belt tournament champions. Personally, I think teams should only raise banners for championships or in the case of NCAA basketball Sweet

I wish Texas Tech the very best from here on, and I hope that they go on to win out the rest of the season and win the Big 12 Championship.

The student section was awesome tonight, and we came early. My girlfriend and I got there 30 minutes before tipoff and we were still stuck sitting at the top row of the lower bowl. I have never had more fun or been more pumped up for a sporting event ever. This will be one of the best memories of my time as a studnent at UNT. Hopefully this crowd will carry throughout this great season.

I missed the OSU game so this is by far the best game I have ever been to in the PIT. There were times the crowd was so loud my ears were ringing. I really hope we continue to get a strong contingent of students, alumni, and fans to come to the games as creating that type of atmosphere makes the games even more fun.

I hope I can get calmed down soon, I'm still jacked about the game. :)

I sat up top since student section was filled in the lower bowl, a lot of people up there didnt pay much attention. One girl in front of me was reading a book the whole time.

Hell of a fun time at the Pit tonight. I never noticed Josh leaving the the floor. Did he play the entire game start to finish?

He did get some time off, I think it was in the 1st half. I know ESPN stats for our games aren't always the best, but they show Josh playing 40 minutes.

I was in the front row of student section, and when I looked back and toward the ceiling during Mean Green free throws, I saw a ton of eagle claws from floor to wall.

Unbelievable. Not a single local station showed a highlight of this game, but they showed all the empty seats at the TCU-SMU snoozer.

NBC didn't say one thing about the NT-Tech game. Snub. 7,000 + in attendance and not one word. The best players on SMU and TCU could combine to form one team, and we would still beat them. We will continue to receive this kind of attention, or lack of attention, as long as we tolerate it.

Get mad, make calls, and rock the boat.

Be loved or be hated, but lets not be ignored.

I knew we were gonna win as soon as Roberson fouled out with about 2 min left to play in regulation. What a heckuva game! Tristan didn't find his shot until late in the second half, but when he did he couldn't miss and that opened up Josh to go ballistic on them in OT.

Hogans was AWESOME, covering Singletary really well tonight on D. Watching the banners go up before the game was awesome as well. So proud of the Mean Green tonight!

Trying to get a headstart on finals. In all seriousness, the crowd tonight makes me think of what North Texas can be in the future with every sport with the leadership and growing spirit of the student body. Good things are ahead.

This was one of the best games I've witnessed at the Pit - ever, and I've been going to games since I was a teenager in the 80's. Loved it!!!!! From the music fraternity singing the anthem so well, to the banners being hung, our awesome drum line at the half, the incredible student turnout and support, and a win over a Big-12 team, in freaking OT. It was fantastic!

What is also good, is seeing the two friends I came with that are Tech grads going quiet in the OT period, knowing they were about to lose. They've ribbed me over the years for being a UNT grad and fan and it was NICE to return the favor!

Trisitan played a tough game, I don't know how many times he laid his body out on the line trying to pick up a charge or drive through the lane.

Tech board is going ape shit. Not one post I have read has given us any credit, more so all of them losing it because they lost to little ol North Texas. A few have even resorted to talking about how KU is going to hammer us by 40 points to make themselves feel better.

Oh man this feels so good. Eat it Tech...

Unbelievable. Not a single local station showed a highlight of this game, but they showed all the empty seats at the TCU-SMU snoozer.

The same thing happened last year when we beat UTA in Double OT in Arlington. No one even gave the score of that game on the 10pm news. I know that UTA isn't the biggest name around, but they have a lot of alumni, just like we do in the DFW area. This is what makes it tough on the fans of the program. The majority of the media in DFW just won't give us much attention. I know its a pro sports market and a Big XII market, but I believe Tech is still in the Big XII and I highly doubt SMU-TCU drew even close to 4000 they show in the box score, yet they get the attention tonight. Its just the way it is. We can keep winning, but it will take some monumental success for UNT to get the coverage that it deserves. And, by the way, doing an email campaign just gets you sarcastic coverage. In other words, you can send these emails and then Newy Scruggs or Dale Hansen will say something along the lines of, "Well, I just got tons of emails from UNT people expressing their displeasure with the lack of coverage. Well, here you go. UNT loses to KU by 20 tonight. There you go." It always goes this way.

What really makes tonight's game so special for me was that this was the best game I have ever been to at the Super Pit and I have been going to games since my freshman year in 1991-1992. I took my two boys, 5 and 2, and all three of us were in Mean Green Gear cheering on the home team. What a great experience and one that I won't ever forget--nor will my oldest son, who said after the game, "Dad, thanks for taking me to the game tonight. I am so happy the Mean Green won!!" It wasn't his first game by any stretch, but it was his first game to cheer loud because he understood what was going on when each team had possession of the ball. So screw the local media--this game may have deserved more attention, but it will be talked about on this forum and in our home for years to come!! GMG!!

Let's knock off Kansas and Kansas State. Then maybe people will notice.

I was at the OSU game as a student and I could tell from the RADIO that this game was AMAZING and by far passed our past OSU game. My only regret is that I couldn't have been there.

Some more message board chatter has some posters claiming home court officiating? You have got to be kidding me, there were more than a few calls that went Tech's way tonight. White's incredible charge with his back to the player during a spin move comes to mind.

Is it all that crazy to just give us credit because we proved we're better than you tonight?

      UAB (12/31/24)

      I'll be there. How is everyone feeling as we enter conference play? Overall I'm feeling good. We are 2nd in NET in the conference. The two best publicly available models, KenPom and Bart Torvik, have us as the 2nd best team in conference and finishing that way. Our defense has been really good; it's actually better than last season. The biggest improvement is in the defensive rebounding. We are pulling down 74.8% of defensive boards compared to 68% last year. Of course the team isn't without concerns. Although we start the same lineup every game, we haven't found a consistent closing one. There isn't a 'go to' scorer. The shot creation and/or shooting has been lacking in long stretches. So far our adjusted offensive efficiency is the lowest it's been since the 2019 season, but I don't think (hope) it will necessarily stay that way. I'd be disappointed if we don't finish at least top 4 in conference. The conference, as others have noted in many threads, just isn't as good as last season. Last season there were 4 other teams in the top 100 of KenPom and 7 in the top 150. This season there are 2 other teams in the top 100 and 5 in the top 150. Last year in conference we played 3 Q1 games and 5 Q2 games; this year we're projected to play 1 Q1 game and 3 Q2 games. A top 4 finish in conference means that we would need to win 3 games in Ft. Worth to go to the big dance. That's always the dream. The NIT as the consolation prize wouldn't be bad either. Could we host a NIT game again? Last year Indiana St., Princeton, and Bradley hosted opening round games. That would be a fun atmosphere.

      You have to consider many of these are the only entertainment option in town. Fargo, ND vs Denton. The entire state of ND follows the Bison.

      Is it just me or is Eric Morris destined for great things?

      It's just you bro. Same reason why you supported McCarney's #Hit6 campaign. The bar is in Hell.
