Before anyone freaks out more than this bad news deserves... Alzee did not play at all outside of the exhibition game. He will be able to redshirt (since he played last year as a true freshman) and will return next year as a RS Sophomore.

EDIT to clarify: A traditional redshirt, not a medical redshirt that would need NCAA approval. Just like what we did with an injured Kedrick Hogans last year.

Understood that this appeared to be inevitable...but still hurts nonetheless. We will most likely feel this the most as we get deeper into the season and depth becomes more important...

One positive is that he gets three years to play with the incoming class.

Thats very true and good point!... hell with the class we got coming in, it could be a blessing to have Alzee as a (RS) Senior when our young guns are having break out Junior seasons.... that season should be nice with Norris at PG and Jordan Williams probably dominating at the 4.

Jordan is not going to play as a 4, he'll be a TT style 3.

This is the lone bright spot here... Losing Alzee definitely hurts. I was anticipating him to start racking up minutes this year. He was going to be a strong bench guy. Now, we're REALLY light at guard depth on the bench. We're playing through it right now, but I'm really worried this may come back to bite us after the guys play 30+ games and have to go to the SBC tourney exhausted (at least we'll have a 1st round bye though).

      Rice (1/8/25)

      Good dominating win, honestly I expected a little more from Rice, but it was an excellent way to rebound from the Memphis loss. Also UNT went from 70 to 60 in the NET, thats a huge jump at this point in the season, and I can't figure out why a Q3 win at home cause that.

      Porter played hard and he played hurt. And when our scheme and offensive line opened huge holes, he ran through them really fast. Porter played running back like a walk-on wide receiver. As far as elusiveness and power, he was lacking. Lol to UTEP for giving him a scholarship, but I hope he does well there. And I expect that just like last year, we will have plenty of guys on our roster way better than him to start the season.

      I posted this in the game thread, but it fits better here: Dominating win in front of a tiny sleeping crowd in a canvas of a facility. Love the win. Hate the aesthetics. Easily the worst attended game/atmosphere I have watched on TV save for Grambling at TX Southern the other night. Yay. UNT has to do better at treating every game in "revenue" sports as if it's the Wyoming at North Texas football game. Frankly, it's teetering on downright embarrassment. Fix the attendance. I get that our alum, students, and fans are clearly a part of the problem. We have always been a huge part of the problem. But the athletic department has shown the ability to market and boost attendance when they feel like it(?). They seemingly don't do much do market this success, these athletes or this coaching staff. And the result of that is the nightmare TV environment we witnessed last night.

      Understood. I'm sure stuff can be done on a smaller scale for us while we build up. Some of this stuff like transparency costs nothing. I've mentioned before having a live count of subscribers posted on the Light the Tower website. Doubt that would be hard to do... just brainstorming. Those in charge should be brainstorming but it seems they're just sitting on their hands.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      5th game in a row and 6th for the season where we could not bring in more than 3K. This time for an in-state battle against an 11-4 and 2-0 in conference Rice. Only 2,836 showed up for a team that just took a top-25 Memphis team to the limit on the road on national TV. We are now down an average of 869 or 22.79% compared to the first 9 home games last year. The 7,239 in attendance for last year's SMU game is now in the mix which accounts for the huge deficit we face. When compared to last year's full-year average attendance we are now down 1,181 or 28.6% per game. This is for a team that is 9-0 at home this season! The coaching staff and players are doing their part. Really, really, really disappointed in the inability of the AD to do its job. Sure, the students are still out, but last year we brought in 3,376 for Tulane on 1/6. Where did 540 fans go?
