The good news is that football season runs through January this year.

No doubt.

Still can't shoot. And we gave up 70 to a NAIA, so it looks like we still can't play defense, either.

It'll be interesting to see the rebounding numbers.

This basketball season could get very ugly very quickly.

All I have to say is 48 fouls.... 48 fouls!!!'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This game is going to be very boring to watch if this is consistent.... Very slow because a foul was called about every minute...

New rules Andrew. Changed the way the game is coached and played. Going to take a little time for the players and the refs to get used to it.

Should play in UNT's favor, but got to adjust to the new rules.

Tonight it just slowed us down and hurt us. It was awful to watch. We're you there Kram? I missed ya, but will be there next game as well. I must say Colman impressed me more then anyone else. He had 11 points (I believe) and maybe 8 or 9 rebounds. He hustled big time. CJ and Alzee were flat until the end of the game.

Also we have our roger Franklin and it is Maurice A.! Has the look and plays somewhat similar but has a good outside game.

55 fouls... I was off. 55 fouls makes for a boring game. Also the big board had us with 54 rebounds so 47 seems a bit low. I also think our FT percentage was lower. Like around 40% according the big board. Which either way is awful! Poor shooting night :/

It was pretty ugly. We can't shoot 3's for certain. Free Throws started out bad....not sure how they ended up.

They ended up around 50 percent. Shooting overall was pretty bad, but we could never really push the ball up the court. A foul was called every possession it seemed, so there was a lot of swinging the ball around the perimeter. But a win is a win.

Well that's the thing, they should be able to shoot three's. I'm guessing tonight was more of an anomaly.

We saw what J-Will did last year. Brandon Walton's back. Vertail Vaughns is a sharp shooter (he didn't take any attempts tonight) and T.J. Taylor is also supposed to be very good. That should be much better than last year's complete lack of shooters to spread the floor.

      UAB (12/31/24)

      From the UAB fan forum... https://csnbbs.com/thread-1003975.html North Texas Mean Green UAB (138) at North Texas (72), Tuesday 31 December 2024 (3 PM) The Mean Green finished their OOC schedule at 9-3.

North Texas also creates a lot of turnovers when on defense. They are 4th in the nation in percentage of steals. NET Quad 1: 0-1 Quad 2: 2-2 Quad 3: 1-0 Quad 4: 4-0 UAB is a Quad 4 home game for North Texas. KenPom: North Texas 76 - UAB 67 Barttorvik: North Texas 76 - UAB 65 Massey: North Texas 73 - UAB 69

      No. Few people watch the FCS playoffs. Nobody would watch a G5 playoff either.

      Women at Wichita State (12/29/24)

      Wichita only made 9/21 free throws (42%) and 19/65 FGs (29%). Maybe our defense limited their FGs, but free throws are not defensed. Probably the reason they are 6-8.

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      Their OOC schedule really was a "run the gauntlet" challenge. It reminds me of our 1995 return to 1-A football schedule.... The "Schedule from Hell" [edit] Without any conference games to be tied to and no bowl game in the cards as a transitional Division I-A member, North Texas' athletic department opted to schedule multiple "Guarantee Games" to help improve the department's financial outlook moving forward as a full Division I-A member. The 1995 team thus played only three true home games in Denton. One other "home" game against Kansas, from the Big Eight Conference, was moved to the larger Texas Stadium in nearby Irving to help increase ticket sales with the expected influx of Jayhawks fans. The Mean Green played seven road games in all, with two against other Big Eight schools (Missouri and #10 Oklahoma), two against Southeastern Conference programs (LSU and Alabama), then-independent Louisville, future Big West Conference foe Nevada, and Big West member UNLV, who departed for the Western Athletic Conference in 1996.[1] The lone reprieve in the scheduling gauntlet was a home game against Oregon State (from the Pacific-10 Conference), the first Division I-A game at Fouts Field since 1983. The Mean Green upset the favored Beavers, 30–27, who went on to finish their season 1–10. North Texas' only other win on the year was against Division I-AA member Idaho State.
