Guy has had a tremendous record. Question is can he recruit? He will need to bring in a higher level player being in the AAC. That said, he looks like a damn solid hire.

What is the point spread for the Wisconsin vs. North Texas NIT game? Wisconsin (20-14) is a 1.5-point favorite over North Texas (29-7). What are each team's records in neutral-site games? North Texas is 5-2 in neutral site games this season, while Wisconsin is 3-2. The game is being played at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas. What is the money line for Wisconsin vs. North Texas? Wisconsin is -125 (a $125 bet would net you $100). North Texas is +105 (a $100 bet gets you $105). What is the over/under point total for Wisconsin vs. North Texas? The over/under point total is 115.5, which signals a low-scoring affair. That's not surprising given where the teams rank defensively. The two teams are nearly even in scoring average with Wisconsin at 65.6 and North Texas 64.7. The Badgers allow 63.8 points per game, which is good enough for 30th in the country (363 teams). Wisconsin has held two of their NIT opponents below that mark (Bradley 62 points and Oregon 58).

On the same day that University of Wisconsin men’s basketball advanced to the National Invitation Tournament semifinals with a 61-58 win over Oregon, its soon-to-be NIT semifinal opponent had a close win of its own to secure a spot in Las Vegas. North Texas (29-7) will meet UW (20-14) at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas for the penultimate round of the NIT on Tuesday at 6 p.m. The game will be broadcast on ESPN. The No. 3-seed Mean Green’s quarterfinal win was its 29th of the season, besting No. 1-seeded Oregon State 65-59. North Texas was 16-4 in Conference USA play this year, but was bounced in the second round of the conference tournament by University of Alabama-Birmingham. Since then, the Mean Green have not allowed any of their NIT opponents to reach 60 points. Lockdown D North Texas has one of the best statistical defenses in the entire country. In fact, no Division I men’s basketball team holds opponents to a lower scoring average, only surrendering 55.6 points per contest — almost exactly on par with its NIT average of 55.7 per game. Per KenPom, the Mean Green are ranked No. 25 in adjusted defensive efficiency and force opponents into the seventh-lowest effective field goal percentage (44.6%) in the nation. read more: https://www.kenoshanews.com/sports/college/5-things-to-know-about-north-texas-wisconsin-mens-basketballs-nit-semifinal-opponent/article_87517106-3565-522e-9b19-83f1a0e4b7a6.html

FAU makes me so proud!!!!!

I stayed at the Luxor recently and it was fantastic!

Welcome Skylar!!

Stunning!!! Very proud of this league.

Man that is tampering!

Me either and my boss already said I can't take anymore vacation days because we are off budget.

Sorry man, I am calling bullshit on that. Ross Hodge is a great coach and he is already with us. If Mac leaves we owe Ross this job for what he has done for us. If we pass on him it would be a slap in the face to both him and Mac.

Why did this have to come out tonight? Come on Goodman, that really sucks. Could you not have waited until after the game. Now we can’t even enjoy the damn game knowing Mac is gone.

Agreed - Would have been announced he was back by now. He’s out for sure. UNT Sportz is so snakebit!

I think is was like about $600k

I hear you but I am still proud of the AD for having the balls to make the move. RV and Wren would have put it off.

Agreed fantastic hire indeed!

Any coach you may have in mind for us @Cooley

Good for him. I think given time he can rebuild his career if he chooses to be an assistant or in a supporting role.

Thank you so much Emmett.

This has to be a misprint. There were at least 5k in there today. Place was super LOUD!!

How can you argue against the lineup change? This team played exceedingly well today hot shooting or not.
