I'm planning to make the trip up there. Been to several UNT road games before, but wasn't able to make Tulsa previously. Looking forward to it.

I really prefer North Texas, but that's just me.

Terrific news!

Great to hear we raised almost $2,000. Thanks for putting together the event! It was a lot of fun. Can't wait for next year's game.

Anybody else see UALR just blow down the court and score a 3 point play with 6.? seconds left? Kind of fitting. Does everyone still think we should have picked them up full court?

We need a big crowd of green here tomorrow. See ya in Hot Springs.

I think if UALR wins, I would definately buy in advance. They will bring a big crowd tomorrow for sure.

The Austin is very convenient as well... the closest to the bar. $105/night.

Good call. Hot Springs is great. You won't regret it. +1

Solid first post.

Myself, MeanGreenSoho, and another friend are going. And I really hope to meet these hose at the hose party. Always willing to spray hose with my hose.

Yikes! Did they say anything about his status for Saturday?

Like so hard that they don't even show up for the tournament or something.

This is always interesting to me. Great to see how some of the sports that most of us don't pay much attention to and how we stack up there.

Very well said. I remember watching the 2001 New Orleans Bowl game on ESPN my senior year of high school. I decided about one month later to attend UNT. I'm not sure that I went to UNT only because of that bowl game, but it sure did help.

There are some cheaper hotels to stay at closer to the race track, south of the arena and downtown area. Just pile everybody in to one room and bring sleeping bags or something. There is a horse track for gambling, some bath houses, and other stuff to see. The downtown area is pretty cool to check out. Honestly, I end up spending most of my time inside the arena. If you are a basketball fan, you'll be amazed at how much the intensity level goes up in the tournament when everyone is playing to stay alive.

Just making sure. As many scenarios as you put together, I think it's acceptable if you make one mistake.

If we lose tonight vs. Denver and UALR loses at Arkansas St, wouldn't Tuesday's game still be a playoff for W4 seed. We could tie them in the standings with a win, and would get the 4 seed since we beat them twice. Am I missing something here?

That was my thought as well. You avoid both Arkansas schools (who have more of a homecourt than anyone), and you have WKU and FAU on the other side of the bracket. Of course, all of that could quickly change tonight.

We are staying at the Austin, which is walking distance to downtown, Lucky's Bar (the official Mean Green spot), and the arena. Not the best of hotels, but a great location and perfectly acceptable. I believe the team is staying there again. I think it was $115 a night, but you can find cheaper by going farther south between downtown and the lake. As far as live music, I'm sure a local can help you find a good spot somewhere. There was actually more of a nightlife scene than I expected.

That sucks. Going to be tough to get that basketball fix now.

I'd like to play. Sounds like a good time to me.

Agreed. I think in past years, the tickets from the UNT athletic department were cheaper than buying tickets there. Around $100 or so I would say. Unfortunately, the games do not sell out.
