The fallout from UNT’s breakout football season continued today when the USA Today Coaches Poll came out.

UNT received two votes in the poll.

It’s been a long time since UNT received votes. I’m not exactly sure what year it was, but the Mean Green received a vote in either the preseason or postseason poll back in the bowl run of the early- to mid-2000s.

In an interesting twist, Louisiana-Lafayette also received a vote.

We went over this a while back, but ULL and UNT rank first and second, respectively, for the longest AP Top 25 poll drought nationally.

Looks like we've got one more big "Not done ________ since whatever year" to still overcome. Hopefully that one will drop soon too.

well that is a nice list.... maybe a bit exaggerated though.

You have to have been ranked at least once to make the list. Number of polls since last time ranked for the following teams (among others) is not applicable: ULM, Tx State, UTSA, MTSU, western Kentucky, FAU, FIU, Ark State, New Mexico, Troy, UAB, Idaho, UNLV, Buffalo, akron, and several more.

      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.
