Good win. The field looks terrible on TV though. They should really put a higher fence and banners or hedges on the back side. Currently, you just see  houses and people driving by. Looks like a city beer league game. If it weren't for the green track I wouldn't have even known the game was at UNT.

Good result, but expected win.  Team looks athletic as always.  The transfer group making an immediate impact.  Their experience will bode well to implement needed work rate against higher level teams and promote less kick ball.

Difference I see following first game is team transitioning to more possession and migrating away from being an OVERLY direct team. Direct wins conference but falters in NCAA tourney and against higher ranked opponents.

Interersting observation last year was some conference teams had already transitioned to this possession style.  Possibly a reason for UNT struggles last season- IMO

I’m digging the new style.  Keep it #rolling! GMG

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      It's all about how this gets settled now. FSU, Clemson, Georgia Tech, UNC, Miami, Duke, UVa, Va Tech, NC State, Louisville, Pitt, and Syracuse will find homes in the Big Three Conferences that will be left. My guess is that the B1G gets UVa, UNC, Duke, and Georgia Tech, the SEC gets Va Tech, NC State, FSU, Clemson, Pitt, and Miami. Louisville and Syracuse will go to the Big 12, probably with UConn and Stanford. Cal gets WSU and OSU to join their new far flung setup with BC, SMU, and Wake Forest, while they add in Memphis, Temple, Tulane, USF, ECU, and FAU to join their league.

      Tennis Advances @ the AAC Tournament

      not to bad with a young team and their #4 being out for the tournament. Stone deserves another 1-2 yrs to get stability in the program after max exodus the past 2-3 seasons

      Rubin didn’t leave UNT for NIL money

      I don't know if we will ever see a 4-year player (or should we take this path) with recruiting or player development again. IMHO we should not waste our time recruiting HS players unless they are certified difference makers that will or are ready to start game one. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be able to a attract that type of player (yet). Our path to relevancy in the college basketball dialogue is winning by bringing in older, more experienced players even if it's only for a year or two at the end of their eligibility and then do this season after season, hanging banners and firmly establishing our program. We need to do this with 22-23 year old players not 18, 19 and 20 year old players.

      UTRGV Leaves WAC for Southland

      I grew up in Edinburg back when Abe Lemons was their basketball coach. Their finances are more stable now than back when they "withdrew" from the Belt.
