I retract my thoughts from last week. UNT can run the ball, just not on the road. UNT is averaging 240 yards on the ground in the friendly confines of Apogee.

Speaking of Apogee if you were in attendance on Saturday night give yourself a pat on the back that atmosphere was the best it has been this season. There is no doubt in my mind that the UNT players really react to that type of atmosphere. Let’s hope that the next home game is louder and the atmosphere is more electric.

As far as I’m concerned when MTSU took Kilgore out and decided Grammer was the guy that was the end of the game. Sure Grammer could make a few plays with his feet, but he is nowhere near the thrower that Kilgore is. MTSU fans have plenty to complain about after this game, that was just poor coaching. They literally just took their game plan and ripped it up halfway through the 1st quarter. You could tell that they never could recover.

The thing about Kilgore being pulled is that they might've done worse had been out there. He's not as quick as Grammer and the MTSU O-line was pretty porous. As hard as our defense hits and as much as they like to strip the ball, it could've ended up worse than 7-34.

Completely disagree. Kilgore was their best shot. Your not going to beat UNT by just running. MTSU's best shot was throwing the ball. Kilgore was quick enough to move around in the pocket. MTSU dug their grave with that move. Happy they made it though.

I actually think it was a good move to take Kilgore out of the game.

Otherwise our Defense may have taken him out. I think the coaches

took him out to save their season.

      And even if we support our team by watching them on TV or streaming, the TV audience can't see us, the team can't see us, and the team can't hear our support. If it's possible to get to the game, we need to be there in person not only to get the better in-person experience, but to show our support to others. GMG!

      Denton, America ???

      Are we sure he’s just not emphasizing the sentence incorrectly? Are you sure it shouldn’t be interpreted as welcoming America (the public) to Denton?

      Women vs. South Florida (1/11/25)

      Complete reversal of our game against Tulane when we almost came back from a huge deficit, only to lose. This time we were "Tulane" and almost lost it after a huge lead. Kudos to freshman Price who made some crucial free throws at the end of the game. Also to Lampkin, not a good free throw shooter, who made several of hers toward the end to match an overal strong game. We do need to work on breaking the press and being more careful with our passes, which too often are sloppy and lead to turnovers and easy baskets. Overall, though, happy with the win. It will be more difficult when we play them at their home. Hopefully we will be a full strength and reduced our turnovers before then. Next up is Rice at home on Wednesday. Look out for Karen Aston's UTSA team...they are undefeated in conference play, we know she is a good coach, and they have beaten us several times lately. We need to keep improving our play to match last season. GMG!

      Lampkin Matches Career High in 72-65 Win Over USF

      DENTON, Texas — The UNT women’s basketball team handed South Florida its first American Athletic Conference loss with a 72-65 victory at the Super Pit on Saturday afternoon. Tommisha Lampkin led the team with 29 points, tying a career high. She previously scored 29 versus UTEP on February 18, 2023, and Tulsa on Feb. 24. 2024. The conference leader in field goal percentage improved her season average, converting on 11-of-12 shots from the field and 7-of-10 attempts from the free throw line. North Texas (12-5, 4-1 AAC) took a 33-21 lead into halftime, marking the largest halftime deficit for the Bulls (11-7, 4-1 AAC) since they trailed by 12 against No. 3 South Carolina on Dec. 15. USF’s 21 points were the lowest point total they have tallied in the first half this season. “I thought we followed the game plan to a tee as far as how we wanted to guard,” head coach Jason Burton said. “We just got contributions from a lot of people.” Jaaucklyn Moore scored 14 points on the day, marking the first time she has scored double-digit points in consecutive games since Nov. 24 and Nov. 25, 2023, when she posted 17 versus Samford and 16 versus North Dakota State. UNT’s lead got as large as 24 points before USF launched a comeback in the fourth quarter, getting as close as within five points. However, Chania Price and Lampkin combined to make eight free throws down the stretch to seal the win for the Mean Green. Up next, UNT has a rematch with Rice, who knocked them out of the 2024 American Athletic Conference tournament, on Jan. 15 at the Super Pit. The game will be streamed on ESPN+ and broadcasted on the Varsity Network App with tip-off set for 6:30 p.m. CT.
