  1. Is there not anyway we could get a firm commitment from him?
  2. BIRMINGHAM, Alabama – A shorthanded UNT men’s basketball team lost 71-62 at UAB Sunday afternoon at Bartow Arena in Birmingham, Alabama. The Mean Green (14-11, 7-6) were led in scoring by Jason Edwards who poured in a game-high 29 points. It’s his 10th 20-point game of the year. North Texas was still without starting guards Rubin Jones and CJ Noland to injury. The Blazers (17-8, 9-3), who scored 26 of their 71 points at the free throw line, were led by newcomer Yaxel Lendeborg who scored a career-high 26 points. “Their size and physicality is real,” said UNT head coach Ross Hodge. “They were able to get the ball close to the basket and when they did miss we weren’t able to grab enough boards. Got to give credit to them.” North Texas has a much-needed six days off as they don’t play again until Saturday when they host UTSA at the Super Pit.

Fans can visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
  3. Very full and active. Not sure of the raw numbers but great crowd for sure. You really should try to make one of the remaining games if you are able to.
  4. My girlfriend remarked on the drive home that the production value of the game last night was "Big-Time". I was so pleased. There were flame throwers at the team intro, lots of give aways and great halftime show from Simon. Either the sound system has been updated or perhaps a better selection of music? Nevertheless, it was a really cool scene last night and if they can continue to replicate that type of atmosphere the future of the program is bright. Much more entertaining than any UNT football game I have been to.
  5. Man this is awesome. I will check it out.
  6. Why can he not be considered as a DC candidate now? I think he could do better than the other guy.
  7. I also want to commend the Mean Green Maniacs as their participation has been excellent.
  8. I concur. The crowd was fantastic last night!
  9. I don't get the criticism of Stone from some. Not you specifically but perhaps others. He seems to give full effort and intensity when he is in the game. Is that not all we should expect?
  10. I really hope that Rueben can play. We really need his assists.
  11. LISTEN WATCH TULSA, Oklahoma – The UNT men’s basketball team is at Tulsa Wednesday for a midweek league game showdown. The Mean Green (12-9, 5-4) and Golden Hurricane (12-9, 3-6) are scheduled to tip-off Wednesday at 7 p.m. CT from the Donald W. Reynolds Center. The game will be broadcast on ESPN+ and the Mean Green Sports Network, presented by Learfield. Wednesday will be the 53rd all-time meeting between the two schools but the first since 2014 when they both were in Conference USA. UNT is aiming for its first win at Tulsa since 2006. The American Athletic Conference has been filled with close games this season. Nearly 40 percent of all American league games this year have been decided by four points or fewer and/or have gone into overtime. Only the MEAC has had a higher percentage of games decided by four or less. Five of North Texas’ last six games have been decided by two possessions or less. After Wednesday’s contest, UNT travels to Dallas on Sunday to face SMU. The Mean Green beat the Mustangs 68-66 on Jan. 25 at the Super Pit. Sunday’s game is scheduled to tip-off at 1 p.m. CT and will be broadcast on ESPNU and the Mean Green Sports Network, presented by Learfield. For more information on UNT men's basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or at ticketoffice@unt.edu. Fans can visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
  12. You are speculating on these points as well. Don't call out someone for doing the same thing you are doing.
  13. There were parts at the beginning that aroused me but overall meh
  14. SAN ANTONIO, Texas – The UNT women’s basketball team (17-4, 7-2 AAC) saw its seven-game winning streak snapped in a 75-67 overtime loss on the road to UTSA Wednesday night. The Mean Green struggled from the field for the majority of the night shooting a season-low 29% from the field for the game. Even with the offensive struggles, UNT found itself within striking distance late in the fourth quarter. After trailing by seven at the half, UNT found itself within two after back-to-back 3-point plays from Dyani Robinson and Tommisha Lampkin. At the 7:08 mark in the fourth quarter, Aniyah Johnson converted one-of-two free throws to give North Texas its first lead since the 3:51 mark of the second quarter. The Roadrunners would tie it up, but a Mean Green stop with 22 seconds left gave them a chance to win the game in regulation. Dyani Robinson drove to the rim, but a contested layup rimmed out. Tommisha Lampkin got a second look before the buzzer after an offensive rebound but couldn’t convert. From there, UTSA outscored North Texas 19-11 in the overtime period, handing UNT its first loss since December 30. Idara Udo posted a double double for UTSA with 14 points and 12 rebounds. The conference leaders in blocked shots, the Roadrunners had six blocks to UNT’s three, and held Tommisha Lampkin and DesiRay Kernal to a combined 3-of-23 on the night. UNT had four scorers reach double figures, led by Dyani Robinson with 18 points. In addition, Jaaucklyn Moore had 12, while Ereauna Hardaway and Shamaryah Duncan each had 10. The Mean Green will look to get back into the win column on Sunday when they travel to face Tulsa at 2 p.m. CT. Quoting Head Coach Jason Burton Thoughts on the game: “We didn’t come out ready to play. We talked about starting games the right way and we knew they were going to be physical. I think I said in the pregame talk that they’re going to be so physical that a lot of things are going to happen within plays and aren’t going to get called. They were willing to take some fouls to set the tone. They punched us in the mouth in the first half, got into our heads and we didn’t play how we can play.”
  15. DENTON – The UNT men’s basketball team lost 82-79 in overtime to UAB Wednesday night at the Super Pit. The Mean Green (12-8, 5-3) led by as many as 17 late in the first half but were outscored by the Blazers (14-7, 6-2) 46-37 in the second half to send the game to the overtime period. “Give credit to coach Kennedy and UAB,” said head coach Ross Hodge. “Ultimately our inability to get stops without fouling in the second half was the difference in this game.” UAB attempted zero first half free throws but shot 24 free throws in the second half and overtime periods combined. The Mean Green shot 25 free throws for the game. UNT was led by sophomore Jason Edwards who scored a game-high 31 points. It’s the second game this year he’s scored over 30 points. He’s the first Mean Green player since Roosevelt Smart in 2017-18 to have multiple 30-point games. Aaron Scott added 20 points and CJ Noland poured in 17 points. It’s the most points Scott and Noland have scored in a conference game this season. Wednesday’s home loss ends a 17-game home winning streak by the Mean Green. They’ll look to start a new home winning streak on Saturday as they host South Florida at 5 p.m. CT. The game will be broadcast on ESPN+ and the Mean Green Sports Network, presented by Learfied. For more information on UNT men's basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or at ticketoffice@unt.edu. Fans can visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
  16. Yes Rueben being back will help but I also think losing CJ and Robert Allen will offset that a bit as well. Also Buggs didn't seem to be healthy last night either.
  17. Yup I can attest to this as well. My girlfriend's best friend wanted to come into town for the Cal game as he graduated from there. We were looking at $300 plus for average Holiday Inn type motels and the fancy places like the Embassy Suites were all book up.
  18. I think this is a valid point.
  19. I thought this was interesting as well: https://www.kcbd.com/sports/betting/2024/01/27/north-texas-eagles-womens-basketball-2024-ncaa-bracketology/

  21. Agree 100%. This basketball program has aroused some sports feelings I never thought I had. I look so forward to every game and the enthusiasm in the Pit has become addictive. I think we need to do everything we can to keep this nucleus together for as long as we can.
  22. If you want to go a step further, UNT Dallas is way more Dallas than SMU. It actually sits in Dallas and benefits students who are in need, not some rich spoiled brats driving 150K cars at 18.
  23. I don't think SMU is as good as we thought according to this and their fans that post here.
