  1. Starts tonight at 5 Central instead of tomorrow, assuming to accommodate for Easter. USF enters the series at 23-13 overall but 3-6 in conference play. They've lost 2 of 3 vs. Charlotte, at Tulsa, and at UAB. FAU, who we are currently tied with for best record in the conference at 8-1, gets a home series with ECU this weekend, who is 24-9, 2-7.
  2. If you want to use concessions or restrooms, you do need a ticket though.
  3. This would be the correct assumption.
  4. Mean Green sweep UTA in 2024, making nine wins in their last ten games after a rough nonconference schedule. UNT got a run in the first before going down 4-1 after a big 3rd inning for UTA, highlighted by a three-run homer. That was the only damage Childers allowed. We finally regained the lead in the 6th and added insurance in the 7th to go ahead 7-4. In both innings, the 11-20 Mavericks let long fly balls get away from them, one going through the glove. Overall UTA had six errors and four hits. A small group of us featuring @untcampbell and @FirefightnRick made some noise behind home plate!
  5. I will be interested to see how the attendance is if the championship is something like Seton Hall vs. VCU, and not Ohio State vs. Indiana State/Cincinnati.
  6. It looks like the mighty Mastodons still have to get through Norfolk State: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_CollegeInsider.com_Postseason_Tournament But needless to say, I don't think anyone was asking for the CIT to return this year. After only finding 9 teams to play in the originally-planned 16-team tournament, I think NCAA, NIT, and CBI is all we need next year, assuming the CBI can fill their 16-team field. I like keeping the NIT on campuses the first three rounds, though I wish the Final 4 would return the MSG. The CBI can keep the "mystique" of playing four days straight in a neutral destination city.
  7. Very appropriate. Just like the other America's Team in Arlington, SMU's stands will be filled with visiting fans.
  8. This is a good reason why we need to stay engaged with Denton ISD at all ages and the surrounding schools. Let's make these kiddos Mean Green T-shirt fans before they're old enough to know what a T-shirt fan is! I know the women's basketball team has an 11am game that is usually one of the most highest attended of the season due to all the DISD kids they bring out. I don't know if you could do a midday game during the week for any other sport. Perhaps volleyball, but they don't have any trouble filling that high school barn. Possibly soccer and softball, too. This year in softball, the Tracey Beard Classic was in Denton, but the past two years it's been in Melissa and Celina. Maybe if the tournament is moved back to Melissa, the Friday morning game could be a field trip for one of the grades at MISD. Or make it a Monday-Wednesday tournament playing all day games to expand your reach. Develops a few new fans in Collin County. The capacity appears to be comparable to Lovelace.
  9. Let's keep targeting the Kansas colleges! We need a contingent of Mean Green fans to support the team in Wichita.
  10. I'd like to have an actual 3 as well. Someone Aaron's size but a little stronger, who can handle the ball well, and can threaten to get some easy points at the hoop just as well as he can threaten to make a 3.
  11. The game against Memphis (around 2800 IIRC?) was our fifth-highest attended game in history. Hope in a couple years it's not even in the Top 10!
  12. But can he coach them to hit their free throws in the clutch, and to finish those bunnies at the rim!
  13. His welcome gift from the university should be a working shot clock! Anywho, I've seen a lot of compliments about him, sure. 10 to 20 wins from Year 1 to 2 is great. But staying in the conference makes me wonder how much effort Rice actually put into a coaching search. We know they obviously don't care to upgrade their facilities.
  14. My buddy and I went to the tournament they played at Arkansas last season. Big fan of Bogle Park. Not saying we need an SEC-sized complex yet, but it'd be cool to have a few suites on either side of the pressbox, green pull down seats behind home plate, maybe like five rows of bleachers in left field, incorporate a "tailgate homerun porch" like we currently have at The Lace in right field, and a grass beam in center field like at the old Rangers ballpark.
