My favorite part of UNT basketball is the second half fouls calls simply for being more aggressive on defense.
I don't know what a foul is anymore. Can a player not jump into the air to block a shot? I feel like I see this every game, not just ours, when a player jumps up and the attacking player initiates contact, but it's called a foul on the defense. How are you supposed to defend any shot?

Goldin gets away with so much crap
I thought it was a clear foul when he was hanging on Nolan's back on the out of bounds play that hit Edwards on the shoulder. They reviewed it and didn't call it.

Or . . . maybe trying to help the man land an NIL sponsorship?
Rubin's Reuben does have a nice ring.

I continue to be amazed at all of the various spellings Rubin Jones' name keeps getting.

Same with Sissoko. I pray these constant errors are autocorrect from phones. Or maybe he was in the middle of ordering from NY Sub Hub.

This is not a fair assessment since we didn’t have Buggs &, more importantly, Jones.
Lets get back to full strength & see wha we look like against these upper echelon AAC teams before overreacting.
We haven't been a strong post team all year, not just about this game. Luckily we have been good at shooting, but tonight we had an off night, and one of the best ways to break out of that is relying on your big man to make some buckets down low and take some of that mental pressure off of the shooters. It's just something we aren't strong in, and that's always going to be a glaring issue when we have off shooting nights.

These are the games that really make the hole in the paint stand out. That go to player that you can dish it to score regularly to get the momentum back when shooting isn't going well. We don't have that this year.

I feel like it's always tough to play in CLT. Hopefully Buggs is back, or if neither are playing that they got enough rest.
I like the AAC scheduling, it's nice they have an extra day between games. It must be brutal to play Thursday, fly out that night and play again Saturday, then fly out and be back in school Monday.

To be fair, our 4 wins have come against teams currently in the bottom half of the conference so the next week will tell us more about where we stand in the league overall. At Charolette, Smut and at FAU then home against UAB. The next 4 will be tough. Sure hope we can get Jones and Buggs back for some of those games. GMG
This. Very tough stretch up ahead.

For the 1st time since the injuries I felt like the short rotation affected the team, particularly Edwards. He played 39 minutes tonight. Really hope one of the two gets back soon.

StatBroadcast. Someone on here linked it once, it's a great site. Gets stats up way faster than ESPN.

Need to settle in and play with no fear. Shoot if you have a good look.

This should have led to the entire leadership of the NCAA being replaced. Many people predicted what would happen and that it would be a pay-for-play system. I don't think many thought there would be so much money thrown at players (even backups who rarely play). I would also guess they did not think they would create a system where star players at Blueblood programs would leave their teams. Combine this with the ease of transferring (players transferring multiple times) and the fact that the spineless NCAA would not attempt to stop tampering; you have the perfect storm in place.
The NCAA has no power in enforcing rules that big name schools don't want enforced. Everyone knew what would happen with NIL, this isn't some, "Oh my! We didn't think this would happen" situation. This is what the P5 wanted, and if the NCAA would have tried to stop them they could just split off and form their own playoff. If anything starts hurting the big schools they will pass regulations to dial it back. I've talked about this exact subject in another recent thread, the NCAA can only enforce what it's allowed to, and they take their orders from the programs that have all the money.

Sad, but true.
People are upset at the players because it's a change to how things were done, I get it. But people have to step back and realize they are working within the system in place, change that and it changes what they can do. For a while I had felt like the big schools were unhappy with schools like App State, Cincy, Boise, other strong G5s, that found hidden gems in recruiting that allowed them to compete. Recruiting is hard and not every player you bring in pans out, so what could these programs do to get these players they missed? Do what they do with coaches from the G5, just buy them.

The kids are making the system what it is. The adults have given the keys to the children!
Wrong. Nothing happens in college football without the big brands wanting it to happen. The wealthy schools want a system that lets them poach players easily. They want to eliminate down years and rebuilds so that they remain on top every season. Why do you think the transfer rules have been loosened? The schools could easily shut this down and implement restrictions and limits. Why do you think NIL is handled by collectives outside of the school and the totals don't have to be reported? Tampering is rampant and punishments are un-enforced. Are the players responsible for any of those things?
The NCAA is powerless to stop any of this, as any push back could cause the big brands to split away. They want to collect their share of money as well.

I disagree, teams have come and gone to different conferences. The SWC ending after 82 years and merging Texas, A&M, Baylor, and Tech with the Big 8 was a bigger catalyst than just A&M leaving. The biggest shift is games being televised, and the court ruling to allow conferences to negotiate their own media rights. Without TV college football doesn't have the explosion of revenue that we see today.

The schools are the ones to blame ultimately. They would rather give up those traditions and historical ties for money, no one is forcing them to move conferences. They decided that their traditions are worth less than making more money.

Ah thanks. Maybe it's just the Mean Green glasses, but it just feels like we were getting called for every little thing.
