The problem is he is not that good on defense, ball handling, or penetration. If he does not heat up we will not get far in the tournament.

To be fair, it's not just Smart struggling on offense. The entire team seems lacking confidence in their outside shot except Gibson. The pressure of the record maybe in their heads. But to their credit, they still play great defense, hustle and win games grinding it out.

Biggest game of the year to date...And taking a dump vs a trucking company.  This. Is. Why. Attendance. Is. Not. Seeing. The. Increase. Some. Of. You. Want.

Wonder why some of you still belittle the oc schedule.   Not any of us knows how it prepared the team versus a tougher schedule.  Maybe the coach wanted to build up confidence and excitement on the team.

The only thing that matters is the conference record at this point.   NT is 6-3 and in a battle for top position.  Would they have a better record if they played a tougher oc schedule?  Any answer to that is only speculation.   

NT is a much better team this year than last and that is with their best player of last year still struggling since coming back from injuries.

It's nice starting a bball season 18-3. That's the only silver lining. But our OOC schedule did not prepare this team as what an OOC schedule is meant for. And even with such a great start, we received minimal pub and though attendance is improving, it hasn't and with this schedule will not spike. 

Hopefully we can have a good showing tomorrow at Charlotte, and a great home crowd next Thur vs Marshall. 20-4 is still a sexy record in very realistic reach. 

 

I rather be prepared for the CUSA tourney, win it and go to the big dance then a bunch peanut wins against easy teams. 20-4 isn’t sexy if you can win the conference.

I'm not disagreeing. But for the sake of a sexy season, pub, future attendance numbers, 20-4 does turn heads. Until of course they look at who we have played. 

We have to win our home games and put away the weaker teams on the road and we'll be fine. Easier said than done.

We are not yet in the big players in the conference, I think it will come in the next couple of years.  We lose Duffy, Miller this year and they have played a big role in our sucess this season. 

We also don’t have a lot of size to replace them recruiting wise. We do have some solid redshirts who will be huge for us extra season though.

Why? Don’t like a real challenge? 

With this team?

We would have a unremarkable record and not have gotten any attention. At least this way, there's attention to raise the perception of the program.

The team is what it is. You can either have this team and a worse record or have this team and the record they have now.

A tougher OOC would not have made this team better, but the OOC we had, may make the program better.

      I believe this, but it would take the city getting involved and the AD giving two shits about the future of this program. All they do is ask the alumni to give and give more. What is my ROI? Watching Edwards and Nolan show up for a year and then move along? I would rather give that money to a scholarship my family established at North Texas to provide for current students and young men and women that are preparing for their future. UNT has wasted opportunity after opportunity to move up. They own valuable I35 real estate that millions of vehicles pass daily. Any naming rights sold for those facilities? Memphis has the FedEx Forum. Why not the Peterbilt Super Pit with signage along the roof of the building?

      Its a different story when you are comparing blue blood programs. Alabama can recruit anyone from anywhere. Memphis can't (and still won't despite a fairly impressive NIL commitment).

      UTSA absolutely does not have a better location. SA is not a great area for HS football talent and they do not have deep NIL pockets. They are maximizing their value and holding the programs to a high standard. Good for them. But if you poll the vast majority of G5 coaches/administrators on which program has a better foundation I'd argue most would lean towards UNT.

      LOL. SMU is small potatoes in why college athletics is in its current state. You really think SMU was even the most egregious cheater in the 80's halcyon days? Get real. Paying players is as old as the game itself. What has changed in the last 10-15 years is the amplification of money via social media as well as TV contracts that have ballooned raising everything from coaches salaries to facilities to yes.....NIL. Blaming SMU for anything to do with where things are headed in college athletics is beyond stupid. Everything that's being done now is being directed by the TV suits. Nothing more. Nothing less. You're letting hatred blind you.

      You're spot on. But the university has been playing into that hippy weird BS for a long time, too. And we can bring demographics into this, too. And for good or bad, I don't know; nor do I really care. But conservative white boys/men is the driving force behind the consumption of and donating base to collegiate athletics. The university goes out of its way to diversify the enrollment. Which is fine and all, but it's just another variable pulling away from athletics. And there seems to be a lot of variables, controllable and uncontrollable. Why do you think the SEC can whip whoever they want with money at a moments notice? Answer: White conservative men throwing money at their collectives and scholarship funds.
