UNT fills out Non Conference Hoops Slate

[Army of Dad]

I thought Coach B. said he was going to play tougher schedule. Did I just dream that?

He said a lot of things. He had a binder.

On the bright side, it's pretty easy to tell when he is lying unless he's developed a ventriloquist act to give him something to fall back on.

This ia a horrible schedule, as someone who has had season tickets about forever, I think it just came to an end. Last year's play and returning a coach who has displayed nothing but incompetence plus a home schedule that a good juco would be ashamed of, and I see no reason to waste the time. Now that the girls play on separate nights, those are the games I will attend.

But was it a binder full of women?

Really nothing beautiful about this schedule. It looks awful even by any already watered down standards. 20 wins is not likely (I don't see NT getting close to .500 in conference). But if he gets to 15 wins there just might be another year of this nightmare...arrrrgggg

Basically, just take everything he says and just know the opposite will occur. A short list:

We will play better defense

We will rebound the ball

I will develop Tony Mitchell

We will push the ball on offense

We will play tougher opponents to elevate the program

What is VERY clear is that he knows he isn't going to win in conference so he is trying to schedule as many easy wins as possible in a sad attempt to get as many paychecks as possible. Someone should really tell him this is unnecessary, as we NEVER fire a coach around here with more than one year left on his contract.

I don't think it's been mentioned , but the OKC & Southeastern games are both exihibitions.

I think Benford is a bad coach, but there's no reason to compare him to Dennis Rader.

I don't really care who we play at home, I'm there to cheer on the Mean Green. Would I like to see some bigger schools, of course. Last year I was much happier walking out of the Super Pit after the Jackson State game than I was the Lehigh (a so-called name team)game... winning makes me happy.

Not supporting this year's team really proves nothing. Everyone of these players had a choice of what school to attend and they chose North Texas so I think they deserve me and my families full support which we are proud to give.

I was at that Jackson State game.

If that was the high water mark for fans able to make it to more than one game a year, then I'm VERY glad I live 1500 miles away.

If this was a post about the football schedule I'd be more likely to agree with it. But that's because half of the fun is tailgating with family and friends. Taking the beat down of rush hour traffic just to get to a 7pm game to watch maybe 30 minutes of competitive basketball isn't quite the same.

And a 25 loss Big West team

Cal State Riverside is probably a more insulting name than North Texas State. It's more along the lines of Central University of North Texas.

Shit, if we can't win 10 games from the home non con schedule alone...

Need to remember the UA-H game, PLUS no Tony Mitchell this year. Every game is scary.

By the time we roll into conference play our RPI would do well to be under 200 even if we won every game but Oklahoma and A&M. Three of those wouldn't even count as wins in the NCAA. Maybe with his strong home schedule (sarcasm) Benford is trying to help the women's attendance.
