I guess there's just one thing to do.

What's that?

Win the whole f-ing thing.

[MeanGreenTexan]

WHAT!!??

Haven't they seen our incoming freshmen class and transfers?

UNT should have received all West division first place votes and at least half of the East division's first place votes.

[Tree]

Well we are really young. But I think it is good to be an underdog!

[CMJ]

The two teams with arguably the most young talent are both predicted 3rd. To me that shows us respect given how much of our team has never seen a college game before.

We are not sure yet on Franklin, Patton, and Mitchell so can not put cart before the horse.

Probably 95% Mitchell joins in barring he flubs some coursework.

Patton and Franklin are still awaiting NCAA Clearance and since we are not a Syracuse, KS, etc.. they take their sweet time.

Otherwise I think the team would be #1 easily.

didn't they read the thread about us going to the ncaa tournament without ever having played a game. i thought that was a done deal? if its on the internet it has to be true!

NCAA just ruled that two Kansas players were ineligible last week. The clearning house takes forever even with big schools. There have been a lot of kids lately ruled inelgible.

Talking to both J.P and Roger they both say they are good... Roger told me a month ago that he had like 1 more thing to clear.. There are absolutely no signs on Patton not being able to cause everyone was released for Grambling.. Both should be playing I would be shocked if not
