I don't have a problem with the NT Daily article per se--it seems unbiased and fair, giving Wren a chance to respond to the (evidently) false and (clearly) misleading statements made by the USA Today writer. That's the article I have a huge problem with.

Rick, the firing canon is just awesome!

Held off a good team that was out of their minds from the 3 point Line tonight Still won by 9 Good W

To treat an accusation and a conviction in the same manner is counter to the judicial system but understandable in today’s social media “pile on” culture.

yellow journalism at its worst, just to arouse the UNT Woke culture. Agree with comment have either player had issues since coming to UNT. How about reporter check on the regular student body and run same story. Just a smear piece in general.

As I was searching for the game tonight on radio, I remember the comments made here on the board and elsewhere, about the lack of coverage we get on local media. I know we're in a pro sports market, but so what? With so many alums in the area, why can't we get one of the larger and more well known radio stations to carry our games, especially on Saturday? 820 AM carries TCU, 1080 AM carries Texas, 660 AM carries Baylor, and The Ticket carries smut. Not sure if 570 AM carries anyone. A&M maybe? I know that just about covers it, but surely some station with a little more umph could be found...couldn't it? I'll be interested to hear from y'all who are more savy when it comes to media.

Those schools (minus SMU) might be looking at UNT wondering why they can’t be carried on an FM station when UNT is carried on two. I wouldn’t trade what we have to instead be carried on a “big” AM station.

One more ticket purchase comment, related. The ticket office at the super pit needs some lights. We could barely find it without eventually popping in to ask one of the table attendants. Walking up those stairs from the fouts lot drops you into the student entrance. There need to be signs on which way to go to purchase tickets to get in. Plus light it up. It looked terribly desolate because the game was 7 minutes in and most folks were alReady inside. sorry to derail. just A ticket office observation from tonight. GMG

Really appreciate all the love from Mean Green Nation. Thank y’all for welcoming us with open arms. I promise he won’t disappoint. Y’all got a hell of a player, but don’t take the word for a biased Dad. Wait until you see him on the field!!!

No, you should buy the tickets from the UNT ticket office so they/we get the credit and monetary benefit for it. You buy from the Star, there is no accounting of which school bought in, and the commission per tickets does not go directly to UNT.

She is from South Lake Tahoe, so this is much closer to home for her. Sounds like a promotion too so can't blame her.

Like this quote from Coach: “The biggest [stat] was 46-18 in the paint and that’s just where we have to play,” McCasland said. “When they took away Zach on the inside then Javion and Mo got going on the outside and they were collaborating on how we wanted them to play. We definitely made the right plays in the second half offensively.”

That was fun! I kept thinking, aren’t we the magic 3 point team in the land! Their 3’s kept them in the game but it was nice to see us so physical. I remember when Charlotte and uab were bigger faster more seasoned than us. Love how our pieces just grind and catch the flow when the game gets tight. I too think the refs let them play tonight which was enjoyable. GMG

Good win when we didn't play our best. I don't know the last time I have seen Hamlet miss a FT. Reese steps up again and hits a couple of timely three's to keep us out front. The crowd didn't look terrible on television and I don't get the complaints about the refs. Watched the entire game and didn't see anything I thought was terrible. In fact, I thought they let them play a little more than normal. Surprised Jackson didn't see any time. Geu was huge especially early and had a much better game than he has of late. Z. Simmons was huge in the paint and Bell did all the dirty work. Nice nine man rotation and good to see all five starters in double figures.

This time of year, any kind of win is a good win. Even better since it came over a quality team that was shooting great from behind the arc.

I mean, they are 8-4 and likely to be a pod 1 team. And we are clearly having an off night.

Well there goes a few hundred fans as they leave with the little dribblers... 😕

The leaders in the party sow that fear. AOC and her bunch, Warren, Sanders, etc... The funny thing about Sanders is that he had millionaires in his cross hairs four years ago. Now that he's a millionaire he's up it to billionaires. Speaking of Sanders, he is a prime example of who socialism benefits. He has never passed a meaningful peace of legislation, yet here he, a millionaire by living off of the public's dime. Before you form your rebuttal, remember that he is a devoted communist.

There is a difference is social services, public school, public services, Social Security, and socialism where the government taxes at a high rate and promises all of these services in return. How many socialist countries thrive? Hell, we live in the greatest country in the world yet our government fails at providing minimal services and the Democrats want to expand that? Medicare for all is a financial boondoggle. The government runs Social Security, the postal service, the VA, and Amtrak for instance. Which one of those is run well and successful?

Need a follow up article on Samantha Mangino's response to this news ASAP.

Love it. Also love reading the thread title in Yoda’s voice.

A promotion and a chance to move closer to home. I don’t blame her for that. Will be thankful for what she did the help North Texas!

The details for Faison's case are available online if you want to go find them. Who knows what actually happened, not passing judgement or anything on anybody. He could be guilty, she could have made it all up, or anything in between. I think we need to vet our players more for these types of incidents, but at the same time I don't think we should just blanket ban any transfers of people with these incidents. We should look at these guys on an individual basis and make sure we're getting all sides of the story to make a decision. I don't know anything about recruiting or how in depth coaches get with the guys backgrounds, but I do find it strange that apparently SL did not know about this incident. You'd think one of the first questions would be "Why did you leave Purdue to go to Independence CC?".

That’s good that they have improved their protocol and vetting. I noticed last year they offered Kymani Dunham in basketball, and the information available on him seemed very concerning. Didn’t seem like we pursued him very long if at all, but I have to think the vetting will help eliminate those type of signings and even offers.

By all reports she's done a good job, and I'm sure other programs have noticed. Wish her well, and I hope we can replace her with someone of comparable traits.

Bunch of quality free play arcades at the arena before the game as well.

If they had waited a week they would have been into the weekend of Good Friday and Easter. People would have been critical of that.

Yes, and the WKU one as well. We were on a streak for a while holding teams to under 60. WKU dumped 61 on us...in the second half. It is time for a payback.

North Texas 81; Charlotte 72 ODU 73; Rice 70 Southern Miss 68; FAU 66 La Tech 60; FIU 57 Marshall 38; UTSA 34 Halftime WKU 32; UTEP 38 Halftime

Dad, your job is to bring your tailgaiting “A” game every home game!

Beat me to it, you did.

Good win what did attendance look like

They missed a 3!!!!!!

Their 3 point shooting is absolutely maddening. from that same spot. Someone on D stand there

Kermit went to ole miss and MTSU went to the toilet

I had it in my mind that they were one of the bottom 4 teams. my bad

I’m wondering when we are going to shoot free throws. It’s like 14-1 right now.

FTs and 3s and our lack off has been the difference

I feel like there is a point he is trying to make in that post but the meaning is just escaping me.

NT up 31-24 with 3:14 left in the first half

Me too, but I’m biased as hell. 😂

Seth to replace Tommy Mangino at North Texas? There, got that out of the way for you guys

I don’t understand why the author attempted to compare the left’s CONSTANT message of doom and gloom to the right’s celebration of the current economic prosperity. The guy must not have seen a single campaign speech by any of the democrat candidates currently running for president.....or watched a minute of President Trumps state of the union night. You cannot find two more differing realities. Rick

So we are bringing back Trilli and plan to lose by 50?

Democrat socialists make their living sowing fear and loathing to those who may believe it. Rarely do they offer any realistic, real life solutions to law abiding, working, tax paying Americans. It's been their trademark for over 50 years.
