(Please note my use of upcoming sarcasm) As a proud member of the statistical majority of incoming freshmen at Texas Tech University (over 80% of incoming freshman at Tech will not finish their 4 year degree) i can personally attest do not discount the allure of the strip!! Lubbock is a dry city, so you have to drive out to “The strip” to purchase alcohol. It literally looks like the opening scene from the series Vega$ with all the lights and neon.

all the praise aside, I still have concerns about building next season's roster around him...hopefully he's still in a #2 role next year and we can bring in a big time scoring guard. this likely deserves it's own thread soon enough, but let's just say everyone who can come back does next season and our two commits make it to campus (all things up in the air): 1. Brennan Lorient, 6'9" Sr 2. Grant Newell, 6'9" Sr 3. Jasper Floyd, 6'3" Sr. 4. Tyran Mason, 6'6" Fr./Soph 5. Alex Cotton, 6'5" Fr./Soph 6. Brock Vice, 6'10" Soph 7. Baron Smith, 6'9" Fr 8. DJ Thomas, 6'8" Fr. 9. Cahmai Crosby, 6'3" Jr this would leave four more spots. give me this template of player - Tristan Thompson (D1 transfer) - Ryan Woolridge (D1 Transfer...and I'm specifically thinking of Rowan Brumbaugh of Tulane here) - some kinda Eric Tramiel/George Odufuwa hybrid (D1 transfer) - best available JUCO/freshman the likelihood of only needing 4 more recruits is pretty low, but this is more or less the blueprint I'd like to see our roster follow next season

If only it were as simple as looking at straight wins and losses.

He really does have a soft touch. I can see him developing into an NBA prospect as a 3 and D guy with his size, athleticism, and wingspan. Think Dorian Finney-Smith.

BOCA RATON, Florida – The UNT men’s basketball team clinched a double bye and a spot in the quarterfinal round of the 2025 American Athletic Conference Tournament with a 71-61 road win over Florida Atlantic Thursday night. The Mean Green (21-6, 12-3) led by just three at the half but outscored the Owls (15-13, 8-7) in the second half 34-27 and held them without a made field goal for a 10-minute and 54-second stretch in the second half. North Texas was led in scoring by Brenen Lorient who scored 16 points on 6-of-6 shooting, grabbed eight rebounds and had a career high five assists. Lorient played at FAU from 2022-24. UNT guard Atin Wright recorded his 100th career double digit scoring game as he finished with 13 points. Senior Rondel Walker matched his conference high with 10 points. “This is a really difficult place to play and they’re a really talented and good team,” said head coach Ross Hodge of FAU. “Proud of how we competed in the second half and stuck together. This is a solid win.” The Mean Green have now won five in a row and next week host their final two home games of the regular season. They’ll welcome Wichita State to the Super Pit on Monday and Charlotte on Thursday. At the conclusion of Thursday’s UNT game, the Shockers have won a league leading six games in a row. They’re hosting UAB Thursday night. UNT concludes the regular season at Temple on March 9.
