Arkansas-Monticello (11/14/14)

[CMJ]

A new season is upon us. Let's start out with a 'W' and get some momentum going.

[golfingomez]

this is a team? or a restaurant?

[UNT Five&Dime]

This is where Thomas Jefferson Clinton went to school, right?

[ChristopherRyanWilkes]

Call me crazy, but i'm feeling a win.

[oldguystudent]

Their mascots are the boll weevils and the cotton blossoms.

[flyonthewall]

God forbid the boll weevils are well coached, can shoot freethrows and threes, and run a princeton type offense, things could get lit on fire, dumpsters, etc.

And the men play 1st..........

Call me crazy but I get the impression that the entire world will watch this game.

[Andrew]

These players (especially Jordan Williams) deserve our support! Let's pack the pit and cheer on the mean green to the victory!

This OOC home schedule is the real joke.

[UNTLifer]

Is it true we only have 5 home games? :0

If we lose, LSU should revoke JJ's extension.

5 home games to start the season? Yes.

5 home games total in non-conference? No. 8 out of our 12 non-conference games are at home.

[NT03]

Must win game ?

[CMJ]

Must win game ?

There is no such thing as a must win till conference.

For the sanity of the fanbase though, yes.

About the Opponent: Arkansas-Monticello

This will be the first regular season matchup between NT and UAM, although the two teams met for an exhibition contest in 2010-11. That night, Shannon Shorter was 7-of-11 from the field for a game-high tying 23 points in the 80-73 win over the Boll Weevils. NT shot 50.9 percent from the floor, including a 10-of-22 (45.5 percent) mark from 3-point. Dominique Johnson hit 4-of-5 shots from deep, and George Odufuwa tallied a double-double with 10 points and 11 boards. LA Farmer led UAM with 23 points and 11 rebounds, but the Boll Weevils shot just 7-of-28 (25.0 percent) from 3-point.

• Friday's season opener will count as an exhibition for UAM, but will be a regular season game for North Texas.

• Just like the 2010-11 exhibition meeting with UAM, the Boll Weevils bring a new coaching staff to the Super Pit. Kyle Tolin has taken the reigns of the UAM program (from Allen Sharpe) after a 10-year stay as an assistant coach at his alma mater Oklahoma Baptist University. Tolin helped OBU reach 14 straight NAIA National Tournaments as a player and assistant coach, including a national title in 2010. As a player, he was a 1,000-point scorer and a two-time All-SAC honorable mention all-conference selection.

• UAM is coming off a 19-10 season in 2013-14, including a 12-8 mark in the Great American Conference.

• The Boll Weevils were tabbed to finish last of the 11 teams in the Great American Conference (GAC) in 2014-15. Arkansas Tech was the heavy favorite in the GAC.

I actually found that link on the Arkansas Monticello site.

[ChristopherRyanWilkes]

I'm slightly basketball dumb, but anyone know when the last time was we didn't have anyone taller than 6'9 on our basketball roster? This team seems unusually small to me.

[ChristopherRyanWilkes]

I am slightly math dumb as well, but I have our average height at just under 6'5 and conference opponents Louisiana Tech at almost 6'8 and a half.
