This would be a great chance for UNT to just give him the money he wants and tell Indiana to shove it. The way that Vito reported it made it sound like he had signed something, so we should have a chance to at least convince him to stay. The only problem would be the politics involved if that took his salary over the top of Canales, which is probably already finalized.

Unrelated but did UNT put a buy-out clause in Coach Mac's contract? If so, how much? If not--why not?

All good eitherways. The fact that a Big 10 school saw the same thing we did at least gives me hope that we're finally hiring the right type of coaches. Dan will find another, although I hope Bowen stays. Crazy time of year, let's just take a deep breath and hash it all out when the dust settles.

Hope you stay Coach Bowen, was looking forward to seeing your stamp on our Defense.

Go Mean Green!

If he leaves I sincerely hope Canales pulls out all the stops when they roll into town next season. Let him see that he would have been MUCH better off coaching with us rather than against us.

Canales seems to be a pull out all the stops kinda guy for every game :rolleyes:

Bowen is still in Denton. Nothing has changed, this is just rumor. Panic hats off, everything is alright. Welcome Coach Bowen to UNT, can't wait to see what you bring to the team!

To provide a little clarity into this, over at one of the UNT media outlets we called down to the athletic department and two different people confirmed for us that Bowen is not going to Indiana. He still is here at UNT, so let's take the panic level down and all relax. Everything is fine in Denton.

Good to hear this Horned Eagle! Bowen is a good one that we want to keep.

I'm liking these posters that have access to immediate information. Just think, only two months to signing day!

We sure have had a lot of "insiders" join on the board these last few months. Fine with me. It has been an exciting offseason so far.

      @Censored by Laurie is correct. McNeese St is 0-2 in D1 games this year but those are a 7 point loss to South Dakota State and an 8 point loss to Alabama. They finished 56th in NET last year so if they run their conference again, this will likely end up a Quad 1 win. They just need to finish top 75 with it being a road game. Exciting times.

      Meanwhile we finished higher than Minnesota in NET last year. Actually they haven't finished higher than us since 2020. Was this post on Twitter?

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG
