I won't say it was a great win,but we definitely showed some really good things in stretches.  I am really interested in how things progress.

It was a game they should win and they did. Didn't matter how. They impressed at times and then there were the sloppy moments. UT Rio Grande Valley should be a good measuring point for this team.

Playing Lawson more outside paid dividends.  Using Holston more in the front court is a better option than Lawson. I thought Miller looked good in his few minutes.  Woolridge was the star of this game, when he is on; very few can keep up.   

This team is full of good to better guards, but someone is going to have to develop in the front court.  Lack of playing time for Arikawe and Fuller is not a good sign.  Temara is playing well, but getting little help.   Better hope that Zach Simmons develops fast.  

This was a very sloppy game for the most part.  BC's front court was a lot better than NT's.  Luckily as a team, BC played very poor defense.

Should win, yes.

But we didn't finish much ahead of them in the RPI rankings last season. In fact they may be our last D1 opponent we play this season that we did finish ahead of. I'll certainly take this win.

I thought BC took some cheap shots at our players.  Two come to mind.  Maybe someone can explain the one call towards the end when the BC thug foul out.  I thought a tech foul was called.  The UNT player got two shots and then two shots for the one and one  but the ball was given to BC after the four foul shots.  I guess it was not a tech but i am not sure what was called.  My first game this year.  

I think we have a coach, he is on his player and talks to the ref on questionable calls.

All the players are moving when on the court, last year we had a lot of standing around.

The crowd was not large but it was involved in the game.   I am sitting in row A this year and I could barely hear the ball being dribbled.  Last year I sat on last row on the lower section  (top of the stairs) and I could hear the ball being dribbled.  We just need to get our fans to show up.  I think we have taken the first step toward being respectable in basketball..  Might take two more years but I know we will get there.

      Doesn't seem new, but unlimited transfers

      Tim Pernetti's (new AAC Commissioner) remarks regarding exploring more corporate involvement seems interesting and innovative, sort of. Getting some heavy-hitter businesses on board with their big advertising/public-relations budgets. They get to splash their logos all over the AAC venues, ceremonies, uniforms, etc in exchange for some NIL type moola. I don't know, it all just feels weird and uncomfortable to this old fat guy.

      We have complained for years about being left in the dark. The Mean Green Club was promised quarterly meetings that never took place, now there is little to no coverage of the spring practices, player movement is constant so the days of watching a last second scholarship player developing in to a Hall of Fame performer are long gone ala Johnny Quinn, there is little to no fan engagement, etc... It just keeps getting worse and without a push to really involve the fans, I foresee a bleak future. They, the AD, has to create excitement around the team/program or Apogee will just become a waste of money, the new basketball arena will never happen and future adds like baseball will just be an idea that came too late. The days of the G5's are on their way out. It will be whittled down to the top 40 or 50 programs as D1. We might as well go back to our D1AA days and play at the FCS level. I am just about done with sports from a financial commitment position. The greed has ruined it for me. Their is zero loyalty towards the program by the players. It is all about them and how much money they can cram in their pockets and it appears our basketball coach encourages the lack of loyalty. I will watch on television, but that's about it, much like pro sports have become. I have no interest in attending a Cowboys' game live once the prices became ridiculous, same with the Mav's and Rangers' in that stupid new ballpark that was a waste of money. I had arrived at a point where I was only willing to invest in watching North Texas live, but the current situation has ruined that as well. The future of all of college sports is a disaster if some type of control isn't put in place. It is ridiculous and very sad. Guess I will end up spending my money on golf, fine food and drink, drugs, etc. and become a more interesting person.

      SB at Memphis (4/19-21/24)

      Opportunity to beat up on one of the worst teams in the country in Memphis (5-34, 1-17). Really can't let them steal one like UTSA did a few weeks ago. This could help solidify a top two seed (top two seeds would only need to win two games in the conference tournament to win the title) if Tulsa takes 2 of 3 from Charlotte this weekend. SCHOOL CONF CPCT. OVERALL PCT. HOME AWAY NEUTRAL THIS WEEKEND Florida Atlantic 13-5 .722 33-12 .733 19-6 11-6 3-0 vs. UTSA North Texas 12-6 .667 25-19 .568 15-8 7-9 3-2 at Memphis Charlotte 12-6 .667 26-16 .619 12-8 9-7 5-1 vs. Tulsa Tulsa 12-6 .667 27-15 .643 13-3 9-8 5-4 at Charlotte UAB 11-7 .611 20-22 .476 13-5 2-13 5-4 at Wichita State Wichita State 10-8 .556 19-18 .514 5-6 9-8 5-4 vs. UAB South Florida 9-9 .500 30-16 .652 23-11 7-5 0-0 at East Carolina East Carolina 7-11 .389 30-15 .667 21-7 5-8 4-0 vs. South Florida UTSA 3-15 .167 12-34 .261 3-10 2-14 7-10 at Florida Atlantic Memphis 1-17 .056 5-34 .128 4-16 1-13 0-5 vs. North Texas
