BYU will be a top 20 team when it is all said and done. We will move on and still have a chance to win 20. The season is far from over. Yes we have some things to work on, but Benford did not miss all

Really.... Everyone in the country thought we would lose by 30 points.... and somehow you are upset? We have a lot to work on but we played how we were expected to play.

We are on a 3 game win streak, something we haven't done before under Benford. Let's hope this trend continues.

I want to know who our top three scorers have been in each game this season. I'll number crunch on that sometime this week unless someone has already done it.

BYU is one of the best scoring teams in the country. Their junior guard Tyler Haws is basically what Jimmer Fredette was for them a few years ago, but Haws is 6'5". He was Fredette's wingman for Jimmer's junior year, then Haws went on a mission for two years so he wasn't able to help Jimmer out during his senior year.

Haws is in his second year back from his mission and is averaging 23.7 point/game this year, and averaged 21.7 last year. They have a lot of guys who can knock down the three ball and a 6'10" freshman center who can score (13.4 points/game).

If our zone is sloppy these guys will drill open threes on us all night. We match up well athletically, and we have to use that to our advantage.

We match up well athletically with about three-quarters of programs in the country. Athleticism isn't the issue.

Who we don't match up well with are well-drilled, disciplined teams with a versatile scoring post presence and good perimeter shooters...Creighton, Lehigh...Alabama-Huntsville.

I think this is gonna get ugly.

Agree with everything you said. I just think that if ever there is a game where we need to take advantage of our athleticism, it is this one.

Benford said in his post game talk that he wishes he had not scheduled this game now. So he knows it is going to be tough. He said no one expects us to win it so we plan on going in and surprising some people with our play. BYU can shoot lights out. I hope we run man against them.

We never did it under Benford...all this improvement is under Tony Denton.

It varies from game to game but Alzee has been very consistent! The past two games Jordan is right up there with him. Other then that one game it is CJ, the next it is TJ, the next it is Vaughn's, the next it is Maurice, and then Brandon Walton. The scoring threat outside of Alzee has been very spread out over the past three games. Everyone listed along with Colman has been a double digit scorer in at least one of the three games in our win streak.

The bold part tells me all I need to know about Benford, and what it tells me isn't a good reflection on him.

I haven't had cable in years but this would surprise me. It seems like, at best, a part of a sports package.

I have had it all three places I have stayed. We have direct TV and just have the basic package. It's in the religion channels. It's just like TBN(?) or those other televangelist channels. Generally they just air sermons or feel good tv shows.

Is this a valuable stat? They score more points than most, I would expect them to have more assists per game. I think the key isn't to limit assists or to get more assists, I think it is to score more, right?

Is this a bit?

      Not a bad hire. Didn't mean to imply that.

      Softball Announces Schedule

      Excited for the season. We all know we just lost the most impactful senior class in softball's history this past spring, and our offense had already been regressing since that 2022 run to the Stillwater regional. I don't see fall game stats, so I have no idea who is supposed to be our power threat this year. Maybe the transfer from Tulsa? Madison Conley also hit two dingers in limited opportunities her freshman year. We seem to stay loaded at the pitcher position, but I want to see who can hit. As for the schedule, great slate. Eight power conference opponents (2 home, 2 away, 4 neutral). Baylor has invited us back to their tournament. It seems like we were always good for a Baylor victory in Waco for a few years there. And good to see at least one of UT Arlington's programs isn't afraid to schedule us... although they felt the intimidation factor @untcampbell, @FirefightnRick, @bstnsportsfan3, @AleAlejandro21, @Jared, and I brought to Arlington last season and decided to schedule us for 1 p.m. on a Thursday in their own tournament. Looks like we're just gonna have to use some PTO hours. Some other travel opportunities of note, we've got a home-and-home with Tarleton. We've also got Tulsa and Wichita on the road.

      You're crazy - SMU's total spend was not even that out of line by SWC standards. The other poster saying SMU was arrogant and hated was correct, and we didn't have the aircover of local media like they do in, say, Austin. Read The Pony Trap for a good view on the size and nature of all the other SWC violations and comparison of the severity of their punishment indexed against their size and media value. So yes SMU was not totally innocent in provoking backlash but paying has been continuous from the 1930's on. Why do you think the big blue bloods hate NIL? They have the most money, they should love it shouldn't they? Their under the table pay infrastructure isn't a competitive advantage anymore especially with free transfers. Can't buy up all the talent and lock it down on their bench. We are in the LEAST money corrupted era ever because it's out in the open above the table. UNT has MORE opportunity to be competitive and get talent than it ever has before. They're out there waiting to give you their commitment. If you pick it up it's yours, if you don't I have no sympathy for you.
