Very nice. Thanks for posting this. Really happy for these guys. They worked hard and have earned this experience. Here's hoping it is the first of many such experiences for this team and program.

Beat UNLV!

Do we?

Or do we know for sure the helmet they put on display at the welcome reception?

Yeah, putting the wrong helmet up there would really mess with our opponent's head.

Either that, or the person responsible for getting the right helmet there is the same person that was in charge of the tic...........oh never mind...... B)

Or perhaps they wish it to be a game day surprise?

Probably the package of free stuff the players get.

That was my guess. They should just call it that. It's kinda like at work when people say they "have a line of sight to...", instead of just saying "I think we'll end up around...". I'm not a fan of bs corporate catch phrases. Stepping off box now.

Gift suite is the correct term because it is designed to allow the players to choose a specific item from a suite of potential options. All options have to be deemed gifts due to the NCAA regulations and this options allows the players to mix and match selections to a expected maximum threshold value (I do believe it the $450 per student but may be higher) instead of giving every student the same package. This keeps them from already receiving something they either already have or they do not have any interest in. This is important due to the rules about student athletes and selling their own personal items and the potential NCAA violations that it can lead to. This is why you are seeing many bowls heading to the "Gift suite" option.

Research the meaning of the term before blowing up.. It definitely does not mean what you think it does and is all tied to the gifting requirements of the NCAA.

Directed at me? I didn't blow up anything. I thought I made it clear that I didn't know what it meant when I said "What is meant by gift suite"? I appreciate your explanation of what it means. That's exactly what I was looking for. Don't know why you added the last part.

Many posts in this GMG.com thing in its entirety would benefit from some pre-research. Not just the "gift suite" concept.

      I think Floyd is going to be solid at the point. Our backcourt is deep with good shooters. Massey has me really intrigued as he hit the glass and appears to have some hops to him. I think I expected more out of Wright, thinking he was our prized pick up out of the portal. Lorient, even if Hodge says he is the most athletic player he has had during his time here, doesn’t really have a shot and doesn’t go up strong at the rim. I thought Sissoko looked tons better than last year. Better hands, couple of steals and solid play in the paint. He’s not going to be a double double player for us and that’s alright with the scorers around him. Stone still runs to hot. I think in his effort to be our energy/hustle player on defense, it hurts his offensive game. He rushes to shoot or pass and the same dribbling to the basket. How many breaks has he had where he didn’t finish? There is no rhythm to his offensive game and that kills him. He either has to contribute more on offense, or we need to give Cotton and Mason a shot. I don’t know much about the freshman Smith, but he needs to put in some weight and probably get up to the speed of the D1 game. Hope to see some of the youngsters tomorrow night.

      I'll be at The Pit tomorrow, but between my friend group we've got 8 tickets unable to be used. All lower level near the UNT bench - two solos, a pair, and a group of 4. If anyone needs tickets, let me know! Per my ticket rep a ticket for the men's game will also get you into the women's game at 5:30 if you can make it.
