  1. You forgot to add that both teams are pretty good and damn near impossible to beat at their place. Grant is a very good basketball coach, and I doubt many who really know college basketball would disagree.

  2. I know you've had trouble understanding this, but the fact that it was a raccoon is irrelevant. What does matter is that this was cruel and sadistic behavior. Being disturbed by such behavior is not "dumb".

  4. You know what I’ve always thought could help us win games? Not better free throw shooting. Not less reliance on the 3-pointer. Not greater discipline against the pick and roll. Nope, my solution to our woes is more Tope Arikawe. Brilliant!

  7. Our lack of size is killing us. We are a team that has no offense unless the outside shots are falling.

  8. Yes, NT is definitely not an elite basketball program. It doesn't have the budget, the conference affiliation or the history. Not sure how you define top d-1 coach? My definition would entail beating most of the peer programs you play. I think it is highly unlikely that any other coach NT could hire could accomplish more in two years.

  9. They have a brand. Much like Boone’s Farm...and Top Ramen...and Spam; everyone recognizes the name, but knows it’s not hard to do better.

  10. It’s ugly. Draper shooting 23% from the field and 26% from three. Arikawe is a big man shooting almost exclusively from the paint and he’s barely over 40% from the field and is 25% from the free throw line, Rose is 35% from the field and 28% from three and turning it over twice a game as a guy who shouldn’t be in position to turn it over much, and Gibson is 36% from the field and 33% from three, which doesn’t sound that bad by comparison. Last, Jahmiah Simmons is shooting 36% from the field when most of his shots come on drives which should be high percentage. He is 0-6 from three in conference play and is shooting 21%(!!!) from the FREE THROW line, and he’s getting there twice a game. I feel like we’re getting decent looks too. I’d like to say it’s just a lot of shooting funks at the same time, but it sure has been prolonged.

  13. The rankings will settle out wherever they do from here but don't lose sight of the fact that the 2019 class for North Texas is special and will leave a legacy in Denton. As long as it doesn't come at NT's expense in terms of head to head recruiting battles, I welcome other CUSA schools to sign talent at or near the level we did this year as it only means our conference will improve its reputation against our G5 peers - which it needs to do.

  17. Not sure about their football team but the Ocean of Soul is coming to town! (Think Grambling) For all of those who complain about the Green Brigade and want a band to bring high energy and marching performance at halftime, you may need to wait till 2022 but it will be at Apogee. They are much more worried with the performance than the music but it is a show. Dancers are called the Motion of the Ocean. ***This is not commentary on the Green Brigade***

  18. No one is entitled to a bowl game. Should players be allowed to transfer without penalty if the team misses a bowl game? Hell players are now intentionally skipping bowls to avoid injury as seniors.

  23. I honestly do not see the issue in trying to run them out there together for a 3-5 minute span. Slow it down and really focus on the defensive end. It would would force teams to adjust and give our guards a break.

  24. You miss the point. Arikawe is a relief factor for Simmons, not a complimentary player or a replacement. Kinda like how I will drink Mr. Pibb if a restaurant simply does not have Dr. Pepper...but nobody sane would order Mr. Pibb AND Dr Pepper or Mr. Pibb instead of Dr Pepper

  25. Thank you, Rose. That 3 was critical to close out the half. We absolutely need to play much better. Charlott's no slouch when it comes to draining the 3 ball, and we've been struggling, so we have to find ways to get to the lane and drive the ball home. It almost looks like our guys are afraid to draw the foul too.

  27. Let's see what kind of coach Grant is today. (Not good or bad) Is he a play through it coach or major changes. Our offense is in a rut, arguably our best offensive player has forgotten how to play basketball, and we are on the road against a bad team.

  31. I agree that Smart is the big issue. He went from our best offensive player to a very bad offensive player this year. Draper played more last year than this year. I don’t think it’s a matter of being exposed by playing more minutes, he’s just playing terribly. He’s not a great player but he can definitely play better. And Arikawe and Simmons aren’t key points of the offense but they have been bad, J Simmons being awful. Defense funnels the ball towards J Simmons and it works out great for them. J Simmons and Arikawe have terrible offensive ratings. We don’t need them to be key players, but they’re liabilities right now and it brings down the whole offense, which isn’t doing great outside of them. Yup

  32. Smart is the big issue, he just has to get better for this team to finish strong. Arikawe doesn't play much, J. Simmons has not been an offensive threat all year, and Draper has been exposed with extended minutes. This team needs Duffy back; this despite what some say, is not a deep team. This team has one good front court player in Zack Simmons who seems to be continually in the dog house. After that a little used Arikawe and a 6'4 J. Simmons. The guard position is in better shape but far from deep. Miller, Gibson, Woolridge, Draper, Duffy and Smart at guard is really not that deep either for a team that likes to play 4 guards. NT has very balanced scoring, but is far from deep.

  33. Wasn't trashing a 20 win season and don't know what gig'n the coach means. I just said that Grant in his 3 years as a head coach he has only beaten average or bad teams while losing in the first round of 2 conference tournaments.

  41. My scenario- Missouri gets kicked out of the SEC for these violations, plus the on-campus problems; Texas takes Missouri's place in the SEC; Big 12 invites UNT to take Texas' spot. We're instantly P5. You heard it here first!

  42. No kidding. I came across an article that I found whilst perusing the "Portal to Texas history" about Rust's last recruitment class. It was almost all juco's.

  43. After 69, it was hard. Rust finished with a 7-3 record and second place in the Valley but that was his last good year. This was followed with three losing seasons. He could not recruit.

  44. Too many 3 & outs on 69 offense will leave your 69 defense frustrated by the end of the game.

  45. Exactly - Mean Joe and that defense were nice and inspiring! That's why our current philosophy that the best 69 defense is a good 69 offense is so frustrating to so many fans.
