You forgot to add that both teams are pretty good and damn near impossible to beat at their place. 

Grant is a very good basketball coach, and I doubt many who really know college basketball would disagree.  

 

No. Being a top 100 team means they are pretty damn good. Also they are not near impossible to beat at home.

He is a very good basketball coach. There are a lot of very good basketball coaches in the world. Being a top D-1 coach takes a lot more than being a good basketball coach.

I like him but I was pointing out he will have 3 20 win seasons against average to bad opponents.

Juat because your last girlfriend was a 2 doesnt make your new girl a 8 when she really is a 6.

Yes, NT is definitely not an elite basketball program.  It doesn't have the budget, the conference affiliation or the history.  

Not sure how you define top d-1 coach?   My definition would entail beating most of the peer programs you play.  

I think it is highly unlikely that any other coach NT could hire could accomplish more in two years.

Wasn't trashing a 20 win season and don't know what gig'n the coach means.

I just said that Grant in his 3 years as a head coach he has only beaten average or bad teams while losing in the first round of 2 conference tournaments. 

I think San Francisco is proving we beat a pretty good team last year 2 of 3.

How much is Macasland tinkering with his lineups?  It seemed to click by the end of last year.  If he keeps tinkering until he finds a line up that works for certain situations, then that’s a good thing. Right?

I honestly don’t know if he’s tinkering, I’m sincerely asking.

Duffy and Miller were big during the CBI.

Duffy won us a game this year and missing him the past 3 have hurt.

The Mean Green (18-4, 6-3 C-USA) had three players score in double figures on Thursday in Virginia, as Ryan Woolridge led all scorers with 19 points. Old Dominion's size and the current lack of depth by UNT hurt the Mean Green as they were outrebounded and struggled to contain the Monarch's scoring inside. 

Senior Michael Miller has been bright spot for North Texas over the past few games. Miller scored 17 points on Thursday, which marked the most points he's scored since he scored a career-high 35 points on Dec. 20. His 17-point performance came on the heels of a 15-point outing last week versus Middle Tennessee.

Let's see what kind of coach Grant is today. (Not good or bad) Is he a play through it coach or major changes.

Our offense is in a rut, arguably our best offensive player has forgotten how to play basketball, and we are on the road against a bad team.

[Andrew]

Same line up and same result? I hope not, but this line up isn’t going to win over fair weather fans. It already gets ragged on by many people locally. 

[Jason Howeth]

2 minutes in and we're halfway to our previous total for free throw attempts.

[Andrew]

Smart is reminding me more and more of Wes Mathews. Had a really nice year and was able to knock down threes with ease. He gets injured and he just isn’t the same. I hope his senior year  is much better.

My pre-game remarks..."Put the ball in the f'n hole! Please don't drop the soap! That is all, go get'um!".

Charlotte 7 ------------------------ NT 6

At least Smart is already on the board.  Hope he can get going.

[Andrew]

Atleast Arikawe is in early. I cannot find a plus minus stat for our roster, but I kept up with it on my phone a few games recently and Arikawe was one of our top guys. We always seem to play well when he is in. I cannot say the same for Jamiah Simmons. I was hoping he would be a difference maker for us.

Charlotte 14 ------------------------ NT 10

Struggling from the field again.

[Jason Howeth]

Davis needs to be covered better. dude is torching it from deep.

[RBTX]

Last place team in the conference making us look pathetic

I gotta say - things are very troubling to this point.

[Salsa_Verde]

Ice cold

We're in real trouble if we let this get up to ten or more by halftime.

[RBTX]

Charlotte getting easy baskets moving the ball without much issue. We're mostly just passing around the perimeter and putting up a 3 late in shot clock.

[Green Lantern]

We look horrible so far.

[emmitt01]

Our lack of size is killing us.  We are a team that has no offense unless the outside shots are falling.

[Shark84]

Our defense is horrible so far.
