Tipoff is at 7:30pm on Friday. Tip was moved back to accomodate the football banquet.

NT is 7-2 and will be coming off a huge win against Alabama. The Mean Green will only have 48 hours of rest though. Tulane will be well rested and is probably an equal, if not a little better than Alabama. Tulane knocked off a #20 ranked LSU team earlier this year.

This team needs a big crowd Friday. Hopefully everyone at the football banquet will mosey on over to the Super Pit for the game...Surely they will mention it at the banquet.

If the ladies win this game, show well at Texas (if not win?), and don't crap the bed during SBC play, we may have a tough time keeping Aston around. I'm sure some underachieving AQ schools will have their eyes on UNT women's basketball.

If that is the case RV needs to consider giving her a raise. With the exception of selected programs I don't think Womens basketball coaches make very much to begin with. We know we have a quality coach so we need to do what we can to build the program and value what it could mean in the future even though its just WBB.

I'll be very satisfied overjoyed if we win one out of the next three:

Tulane (just outside the top 25)

@ Missouri State (very high in the mid-major top 25...beat Oral Roberts)

@ Texas (just inside the top 25)

Karen Aston does not have an easy schedule for her first year, and she is doing pretty darn well. Go Mean Green!

NT 15

7:39 to go

Racking up fouls on Tulane. With as rough going as we've had, we're fortunate to still be so close really. Neither team can really take advantage of the others shooting woes.

It's a broken record, but the shooting woes continue. I have no idea if it's because of great defense, bad offense, or both. It's just brutal out there though. I doubt either team is shooting 30%.

We have missed a ton of direct shots right under the basket... Godbolt missed quite a few she usually makes... we get our shots to fall in the 2nd half we'll be OK... if not, we are done.

Tulane starting to take control of this game... mostly only because they are making their shots, and we are not. They are not dominating us. We simply are not making shots we should.

      Bye Bye Chandler Morris

      Loved everything about your post but I wanted to highlight this section. I believe a lot of the fans on this board want to stick their heads in the sand and minimize the absurd mismanagement of the football program the last 20 years. We have a ton of alumni locally that could be won over. But the decisions made are insulting to the intelligence of people who casually pay attention when the program makes a big move. I harp on Odus Mitchell because his tenure shows dramatically what can be done with hard work and competence. And it is totally incompetent for program with upwardly mobile aspirations to hire first time FBS level coaches. And what is worse when we do hire a FCS head coach they don't hire the best one available. Dodge, Littrell, and Morris were bad hires. They may have been fine when it comes to the X & O of their sides of the ball. We need marketer, Adminstrator and culture builder. They selected the coaches I mentioned like a good functional Air Raid Offense would fix everything. I attended at least 3 home game a year since the last couple of season at Fouts Field and the game atmosphere more dead now than ever in my opinion. You can just feel the disappointment in fans. There is no structural disadvantage here that prevents North Texas from being on par with programs like Louisville, Memphis, Tulane, UNLV, San Diego State, UCF, SMU or USF.

      A Volleyball Coach To Consider??

      DC comment is regarding Caponi, I love his new choice, but Defense suffered for 2 years. As for Hodge, think team is a once again middle of the road AAC, losses to McNeese and High Point highlight that and negate the Oregon St and Minnesota wins, should not expect to be a Top 3 team in conference, especially when expected to only be a 1-2 bid conference max

      Mountain West looking to add NIU/Toledo

      For FB only would be a good move by NIU, then either join Summit, Horizon League for other sports, save $$$

      Is it really brave to laud your boss publicly?

      Coach Akers has done a good job, but he should stay away from this type of blatant public self serving politics.

      THE BAND (Bowl Version)

      Nope, but I'm sure the game being on a Friday influenced it. I'm also not sure how much the band director's discretion has to do with it. I would hope and assume the band would be in Dallas, but last year there weren't even student busses arranged for the SMU game. All the social media accounts were pushing people to watch on ESPN2 instead of attending.
