Thanks Coach. Sorry you don’t see the vision in staying and building on this. Hope for your sake that it’s able to click quickly at Tech.

Amazing game, so happy to have witnessed it. The guys deserve it. A lot of bittersweet feelings as it feels like the peak rather than a step in the road, but man it feels good

Drez is great and will be an asset to any team. Thankful for his time in Denton. He’s graduating and wants to move on. Can’t fault him for wanting a chance or scenery.

Guys, you are smoking crack if you think that a coach would turn down $2 million+ a year for 5 years vs $700,000 to do the same job. Would you? When you are hot you grab the brass ring. Remember when Littrell was hot? Regarding loyalty , his loyalty is too his family, not an institution that would have no qualms about showing him the door if things go south. This is a business decision that he may or may not have an opportunity to make. Lets not get our panties in a wad over something we can't control.
I think we all agree he’s underpaid. I’m hoping the AD can get him in the 1.2-1.5 range. If they can’t then there’s no hope. But after that, the choice is a little less clear if his end goal is to coach in a power conference. If SMU offers 2.5 like has been suggested, his buyout will end up being significant. I doubt that will be a major impediment to a power conference school, but he’s going to have to kill it at SMU because we all know his success at UNT will be downplayed.

I’m so worried about this guys. This time Just feels different. This tweet from Goodman is all over social media. We have to hope and pray that SMU does not outbid us and they have deep pockets.
They will outbid us. Without question. Does Grant want to wait it out for a better job/settle for a small raise, or does he want to chase the money? We’ll find out soon enough.
He did leave Arkansas State after a year so maybe he’s a job hopper. Though I’d take a pay cut to leave Jonesboro lol

How quick SMU runs through coaches? Jank has been here as a HC for 6 years. Zero NCAA tourney wins and alienated the big money boosters. He knew he was out when SMU lost in the AAC Tournament.
Are you expecting the Big 12 to expand within the next five years and take SMU? Maybe. Who knows. To me it seems like it’s mostly SMU fans pushing this narrative. It’s possible. But its a big if for Grant. If he wants the money, I don’t blame him. I’ll hate him a little for it, but that’s life.

Money wise, I get it. It makes sense. Career wise? Absolutely makes no sense. UNT and SMU will be conference mates and there’s no real indication that they’ll get the call up to the Big 12 anytime soon.
Judging from how quick SMU runs through coaches, it’s more likely that Grant will have an off NIT year and get shitcanned before another round of realignment happens.
Regardless, UNT needs to pay the man. Hell, give him Littrell’s contract.

The worst part about DFW is the prevalence of the SMU guy who thinks his ill gotten gains from waltzing into a make-work position at his daddy’s firm is a sign of his natural abilities and skills. When in reality he is profoundly mediocre and replaceable and no amount of money will change that. Just like SMU athletics.

I’m pretty sure those unattributed game recaps are procedurally generated by software

Haven’t you heard? SMUs Big12 invite is in the mail! They’re just waiting for it. Any day now…

All of that can happen shooting a 3 as well. The OT situation was one thing but the end of regulation was odd... you call a timeout and what you set up is "dribble dribble dribble fade away 3?" Surely something better could have been drawn up. Seemed a little passive to me. I'd rather try drawing a foul going to the basket but I get your point about making sure you get the last shot too. Tough situation. Regardless, I'm proud to wear green today.
He probably thought he could end it there in dramatic fashion. Love the heart and the gumption, but it wasn't smart.

The criticism of the lack of bench might be overblown. But if there are injuries, foul trouble, or a player is having a bad night the situation gets sketchy fast. I'm more concerned with the lack of a slasher and so many missed point blank shots. The reliance on long jump shots and fade away 3s from the logo down the stretch is a risky way to go.

I don't think power conferences really need to schedule tough home/homes in basketball. If Virginia had just won more games in the ACC they would have made the tournament. They just have to survive the 2-3 tough mid-major games they might get in an early season tournament.
-
As is tradition in the ACC, Virginia fans bitching about the game even in victory because they’re entitled to it. @Censored by Laurie would love these guys
(I’m also Maryland fan so I have sour grapes aplenty)

What a season. Last year is our historic best team ever given the NCAA tournament win, but this squad is actually probably the best team we've ever had. At least in the last 50+ years.
Best team for sure. Last year’s team had some better individual performances down the stretch
-
Tough and fought to the end. Too many missed opportunities and rushed shots at the end but they left it all out there. Cant ask for more

We’re gassed judging by the lack of close outs on that Franklin guy. He can’t miss.

Wild ending. Perry little too greedy on that shot 😑

Bad play by Perry right now.
Love him but he hasn’t looked right or consistent in a month. We have no offense without him right now.

The black jersey does not work, especially with white pants and the TX outline helmet. It looks like we're a high school that can afford a second set of jerseys, but only one pair of pants.
Stick with the damn green jersey/white pants with the white or green helmet. The Oregon 72 uniform combinations moment is over.
