  1. I give this season a B- the defensive side of the ball was good. However the offensive side seemed confused more often then not with what to do. At times they were very sloppy in bounding the ball and moving the ball out of the back court under a heavy press. The did recruit well, finding a lot of good role players, but a primary ball handler never emerged that could take advantage of those players.
  2. Those 3 schools combined will not generate the revenue that FSU or Clemson bring on their own. And if those top schools leave for the Big 10 or SEC, then would the ACC still be a "power conference" worthy of 2 playoff spots?
  3. Honestly I was expecting the university to cover all costs... its not like they need to make money off this, they have busses and drivers, not to mention its good optics for the university to have large student crowd at the games.
  4. $50 per day thats insane for a UNT grad let alone a UNT student, what are they thinking???
  5. very very sloppy basketball, totally out coached... they still have no clue how to in bound the ball especially when there is a press.
  6. and I would rather have a defensive head coach, but they need to bring in an assistant who can organize the offense, and make adjustments.
  7. Right now I would give Hodge a B- I think he did a good job building and recruiting this team. There is a lot of individual talent, and they still haven't quite come together but they are on the right path. On the defensive side of the ball they are as good as we expected. However on the offensive side, they do seem a bit sloppy at times, they are not very good at in bounding the ball under heavy pressure, and sometimes struggle to advance the ball out of the back court.
  8. Its early, and I am not sure how closely they are looking at the AAC. Its likely Lunardi took a quick look at the AAC and saw 2 ranked teams (FAU & Memphis), and the first place team (UNT), and based his bracket on that. ...And a 13 seed?? Assuming UNT wins the tournament, they would likely have to go through 2-3 Q1 teams to win it, including Memphis and FAU whom he has seeded at 5 and 6, that should earn more then a 13 seed.
  9. ECU played very good perimeter defense against UNT, knowing we like to shoot the 3, and it did force some really poor shots at times. However UNT was able to adjust drive the ball inside and get easy buckets.
  10. UNT certainly has the defense to win the AAC... I dont think FAU and Memphis are unbeatable, and the confernce as a whole looks a lot better then many predicted in the preseason, there could be 5-6 schools that have a chance at winning the AAC tournament, depending how the bracket looks. As for the NCAA tournament, most bracketologists have FAU and Memphis in, I dont think that the other schools in the conference have done enough to get into the at large conversation yet.
  11. UNT does a very poor job marketing and promoting their athletic program in DFW... Do they even have anyone that is in charge of this? I would be curious to know what their local media package looks like, if they even have one.
  12. Good Win... over all they looked more disciplined on defense
  13. NCAA has not real power, in reality just a handful of schools have the power to do anything because they have the conferences and state legislatures behind them. When the NIL starts to effect those schools negatively is when you will see change. I do think at some point the current NIL system will start to negatively impact the educational reputations of some of these institutions, especially the smaller private schools.
  14. It was a win against a team they were supposed to beat. That said, the team was way to dependent on shooting the 3, they ran the exact same play every time, and even when UTA would pressure the perimeter UNT struggled to find ways inside. They did get away with some sloppy play, particularly while in bounding the ball and under the basket, AAC teams will punish sloppy play. One trend I am liking is the rebounding on both sides of the floor and the way the guards are playing on defense.
  15. Bowl season seems less interesting every year... there are to many... week nights during prime time they are going head to head with NBA (as well as CBB and NHL)... players are sitting out.
