UNT86

Name an AD in the 30 years before him that did as much or more. Wren has taken us to a new level, but RV got the ball rolling from basically nothing. We had zero for facilities. ZERO. At the end, he looked tired. I would have been tired too. I would be leading the cheers for him if it happens.

Way to go Coach Mitchell! This program continues on an upward trajectory. Go Mean Green!

Top players leave our program same as every other program right now. But we have improved every year in spite of players leaving. We seem to replace them and get better. If attitude or selfishness is an underlying issue, it can be addition by subtraction.

That is not at all what I witnessed. She became a smaller part of the offense as we won more, but the girls were not confused or without direction.

He had a limp after the game just walking around. It had to be severe for him not to play.

JJ has already graduated and I believe his degree is in engineering. He is almost through with his masters too. I doubt he starts coaching. Incredible young man.

73 followed by 94 followed by today. 94 only one year, but conference champions that year.

Great Season. At the 7 minute mark, I thought we had them in a good spot. They were in serious foul trouble and had only a 2 point lead. We got several good shots that didn't go and they couldn't miss. They also shot 97% on free throws and that made it impossible to foul and catch up. We were getting good shots and had our best scorer taking them. Sometimes they just don't fall. Again, great season and we should all be proud of the way these girls represented our school.

We have a couple of common opponents. I think the lost to SMU. We waxed SMU. They beat Wichita State 2 out of 3. We lost to Wichita State by 3. Should be an even match.

Could not possibly be happier for this team! From where we were to where we are now... just an amazing job by Coach Mitchell. It is soooooo hard to overcome years of getting kicked and overcoming that perception. Just excited for our girls.

Great job by Coach Mitchell. At one point, everything that could go wrong was going wrong. Sitting at 2-6 in conference, the girls finished 1/2 game out of first in the West. They then dominated an ODU team that had beaten them by 10 earlier in the year. They took Charlotte to the wire in the semi-finals. So proud of the work put in by Coach Mitchell, her staff, and all the girls. Amazing season and hopefully a bid to the WNIT.

Once I gave my tickets to a friend at work when I was going to be out of town. I was curious to see if they used the tickets and asked to see if they had been scanned. They were able to tell me, so I know someone has access to that information. The person that took my tickets didn't go to the game. Also the last time they were offered to this individual.

The stops on the defensive end have made an even bigger difference. Also Townley and Mallard scoring away from the basket. It is so nice to see Townley hit her spot, turn, and shoot knowing that it is going in. Mallard can go out just beyond the free throw line and connect. Most girls guarding her will not go out there so she has clean looks. This team is coming together at just the right time. This week will tell. Two big games on the road.

Huge difference tonight. They played confident from the beginning. Lots of movement on offense. FAU is bad, but tonight we played better than we have in a while. Saturday will be big vs UAB.

Dr. Hurley killed our program. Bob Tyler was only here one year. Hurley wanted us to become an academic institution like the service academies. He did not have a high regard for athletics. Even simple things like tailgating were banned. As far as the flying worm, we also suffered from letting each new coach and AD change the logo and shade of greed like we were a high school. It especially chapped me when our AD did not get us a home playoff game when we were #4 in the nation because he wanted to go to Reno instead. We suffered from lack of leadership, funding, and vision for a long time. Thankfully, I believe those days are behind us. Now we are just playing catch up for eternity.

They seem to lose confidence easily. It also seems to be a different issue each game. Turnovers killed us against WKU. Free throws have been an issue other times. Defense has been an issue others. The coaching term for this is "chasing the fleas around the dog". It is frustrating as a coach when you focus on a problem, fix it, and then a new problem comes up or maybe one you fixed three weeks ago comes back. I also wonder how much her assistant coaches leaving each year hurts the continuity of the team.

FAU is tough at home. All 3 losses are on the road.

In the words of the basketball great Ron Washington "That's how basketball go".

I think there were only 2 techs called. The first foul on #22 was a personal foul. The ODU head coach went on the floor and got the first tech. One of the ODU assistant coaches continued to run his mouth and got the second tech. That is why we shot 4 free throws. Two for each tech.

This thing was weird from the start. Townley turned an ankle in the first minute. We turned the ball over 29 times. Still, we were only trailing by 1 after 3. Just didn't look like ourselves. The harder the girls tried, the worse it got. It wasn't just 1 girl. Still think this team will be there at the end.

The best player for Marshall could barely get a shot off. Impressive defensive performance by the Eagles. Q didn't even play her best game and the outcome was never really in doubt. Good win for the Mean Green.

Just shows how our season went and the continued improvement through the year. Early we lost to a La Tech team that we would have beaten later in the year. Late in the year we beat two teams that ended up ranked ahead of us. I'm looking forward to next year.

First two that come to mind were beating NE Louisiana to get into the NCAA in 1987 and beating Purdue last year. Lots of good times to choose from. Beating WK last year when all the NCAA promos had them pictured and the announcers were all over how good Bassey was... except that he wasn't. Also the CBI win over San Francisco. Loudest I've heard the place was when Smart started a 1 on 3 fast break our first possession, pulled up, and drained a 3.

So now we get to play one of the conference favorites without playing for two weeks. Awesome (to be read with sarcastic voice).

Just like a ranked UTSA was going to curb stomp us..... but they didn't.
