And here’s the self fulfilling prophecy of “you can’t get drafted from UNT” because when we do have a guy with the potential, they’ll be moving on before it happens.

Hot take: Don’t really care about this one. Think Ross finds someone that may not get the averages he did but will be close and fits better.

I think it’ll depend on role. I can’t see either leaving unless they get an equal or larger role on the next team.

There is a disgusting amount of people I know that religiously watch their T-shirt school every Saturday but is like pulling teeth to get them to UNT games. Both football and basketball. The excuses are always the same. But it all comes back to the lack of engagement when we were in school.

The school just hasn’t figured out how to engage a bigger percentage of the student body. Getting them to care while they’re on campus is so important because once they graduate, it’s much harder. For every 10 people I knew while in school, maybe 7 of them watched any college sports and probably 2-3 of them cared about UNT sports. So how do they bridge that gap is the question.

Taylor’s size scares me but the kid is incredibly talented. I think Mason is going to be a stud that might push for minutes Year 1.

Rob doesn’t have to move very far

This doesn’t really change anything for me. We went on the road and beat a team that beat us earlier in the season. That always feels good.

Time to give Moore and Cotten some minutes. Let the next wave get some exposure.

Bout to find out if they still want to play out of this timeout. Felt like they just gave up there.

Players UNT has been linked to as “interested” in the portal have been guards and centers

We have too many guys that try to get to the paint with no plan. Leads to contested shots and turnovers. Need to get CJ more involved in the second half.

Think some of yall reading too much into that. Kid made a whole video saying goodbye to UNT.

This is actually pretty cool. Adds to the character of the tournament. Someone ask Jared if they can get the OG snake pit prepared.

Coach Hodge touched on this in the post game presser but not only do we win games when we have 10+ assists, but we CRUSH teams when we do.

There’s a middle ground here somewhere. I get that we SHOULD be able to fill it but we’re not. I think everyone agrees that something needs to be done but the increase from last year is definitely a positive sign.

I think you can be upset that they left and also understand why they did. They (Tylor more than Abou) had an opportunity to make some money for their family and potentially get more exposure for the next level. I think a lot of player movement is short sighted but I understand. also, I hope Rubin/Aaron are talking all the sh*t to them today lol

UAB/UNT basketball has a great deal of respect for each other. Makes our battles so enjoyable. I hope AK sticks around bc they make us and the conference better.

I don’t think CJ even made contact with his face lol

Game turned when we started taking the air out of the ball rather then continuing to do what worked. Offense was cooking with grease when they pushed at the right times.

I’ll be starting the “Please stay, CJ” NIL fund soon.

Of our top 14 lineups, only 1 consists of Sissoko. He’s been very bad this season.

Was looking at some data for this game and found some interesting stats.. Robert Allen is statistically our most important player (ranking 1st in offense, 3rd on defense according to BPR). Buggs is 7th then there is a LARGE drop off to Stone/Sissoko. Best 5 man lineup? Edwards, Noland, Buggs, Jones, Allen. Worst? Edwards, Noland, Stone, Scott, Sissoko.

No lies told. The fact that were are still playing is a testament to the culture Grant started and Ross is continuing to build on. While other programs just wanna start playing GM, we’re tryin to hang a banner.

Tom Crean just crapped all over the teams that opted out.
