    Indeed.  Funny, McCasland’s blemish game thusfar is OU whilest Benford’s was Alabama Huntsville.

    Uuuugggg! Don't remind me. Can we all agree that going forward we never again mention the name "Benford?" What a disaster of a hire and really set our program back. Going forward, if we must mention his name, can we instead refer to him as "the one whose name we do not say?" I'm trying to etch out his name permanently from my memory.

    Sagarin has us at 129. Indiana St. Is 102.

    UNT now 103 in Sagarin. Essentially took Indiana St. spot. Indiana State now 123.  Man, if that OU game had only gone a different way for us....That would have been a Top 50 win and likely put us in the Top 50, if not Top 30.

    The crazy thing about the OU game is that we shot horribly.  It would have been tight the entire way had we just shot the ball to our normal standards.  Fun team.

    True. Don't forget too that as bad as we shot at OU, we were only down by two at the half. And we actually had the lead in the game midway in the second half.....all this on an off night of shooting. The final score does not tell the whole story of the OU game.

    I think the refs actually called targeting. God, they were bad.

    I actually felt like I was watching one of our Sunbelt refereed games from yesteryear. Very questionable calls and the Simmons one was total crap. Anyone know what conference those refs were from?

    I just checked Southwest - almost $900 round trip for 2.  I may have to skip this game DAMMIT!!!

    My wife and I wanted to go, but flights (only) from Corpus Christi were going to be $1300 to $2000.  We decided it's a no-go... not spending $1300 + hotel + car rental + food/dining + game tickets...  Minimum estimated trip cost is $2000 (assuming lowest flight cost) for a 2-day trip. Can afford it, but don't want too. Can't blame UNT or anyone else... they don't have control of flight costs... damn airlines..

  6. If the team that showed up for the Hawaii game, shows up for OU, we have a great chance to win this. That fast paced style with ultra-aggressive shooting along with few turnovers will beat most teams. However, if the slower paced offense that we saw at the past few games shows up, we are in a world of trouble.  OU is an overall bigger (size-wise) team, and we need to out-speed them with our smaller guard line up.

    This game will pay dividends over the 2018-2019 season. We needed it.

    I had the same thought, and told those watching the game with me....We were 6 - 0, and largely unchallenged... blowing people out albeit against mostly subpar competition.  The players thought they were invisible... needed to learn that any D-1 team can beat any D-1 team on any given night if one D-1 team doesn't show up.... UNT looked slow and unenergetic... compare the energy and effort of Maine vs Hawaii. No comparison...They were hungry for Hawaii....They looked like a different team last night. I think the Maine game was just what we needed to prepare properly for OU on Tuesday. I know OU is out-of-conference and makes no difference to the goal to be conference champions.... However, this makes a HUGE difference to casual basketball fans, and if they see UNT beat OU, they will determine UNT is legit and start attending UNT games (major attendance boost). Quite frankly, causal basketball fans do not care if we beat Maryland Eastern Shore or Maine or........etc.

    On the radio before and after the A&M Commerce game Mccasland stated that this Texas A&M Commerce game was a late add to the schedule due to a matchup with NC State falling through, as part of the Wolfpack Classic that we are in.

    NC State played Maryland Eastern Shore, and will play Maine, St. Peter’s, and Mercer. So I believe NC State plays every other team in this “tournament” except for us. 

     

    Maybe legit scheduling issue but I suspect that this is a P5 program running scared of a G5 program with some success last year. They don't want a piece of this 🙂

    I wish when we were televised at Apogee that more shots of the big time looking part of our stadium (the Press Box side) could be seen more by the TV viewing audience.

    We love our Apogee but most all the TV shots are either the Student Side or the Wing Zone.  

    GMG!

     

    I've had the same thought on many occasion when watching our games on TV. Even when student section packed it still doesn't look like it is packed because only two tier area. If camera angle was from other side the stadium would look more impressive. My guess is that they need the height of the ticket holder side for best television views.
