Texas Arlington (12/6/22)

[BleedingGreen]

Free throws must improve.  I would like to see Moore and Morgan get a few more meaningful minutes as you never know how injuries can continue and cause more need for them .

I really am jealous of the arena, very nice IMO. Yeah I’m late but 🤷🏼‍♂️

The game should have been over several times. Again Tylor is the only one who can make over half of his free throws, when we got the calls. Aside from all the aforementioned missed calls, it looked like Perry had been wrapped around before the ball went out of bounds with 10 seconds to go, although I was in the other corner.

I don't understand why he/we didn't call a timeout when trapped?  We had like 3 remaining.  Reset and throw it in again.

Looks tiny in that photo, upper deck is dark.  Were there fans in the upper sections or was it closed off?

It is curtained off. The upper deck wraps around the whole arena except for behind one basket, so the lower level probably seats 4000-4500.

Also...why is our logo different on every espn+ video? Some just SOW, some white, some green some black. It's confusing branding.

Only school colors should be used, GREEN and WHITE.

And we should never be listed as N Texas. Our university branding dictates North Texas or UNT. Other schools would immediately issue a cease and desist letter if media outlets were monkeying with their branding.

The upper deck is more for aesthetics than function. It does encircle three quarters of the court but it is only five rows deep. That building with it's 4000 seat lower level would be an excellent volleyball facility for North Texas.

I don't know if we could fill 4,000 seats for volleyball but I do agree we need a bigger, non-high school building for the ladies. I was jealous of how close to the action you can get at College Park Center.

I loved this arena, and the seats have cushions!

Good looking facility but not sure about the blue.  Feels like black lighting is pumped over the seats.

By this point in Coach Mac's tenure, it seems pretty obvious that he will only play guys he trusts no matter what. I was at the game, and it looked like Hodge had to talk him into playing the big Drake transfer. Maybe he sees something at practice, but I think he would play with 4 before he would put he someone he doesn't feel comfortable with. Really frustrating that Morgan in two years hasn't been able to earn that trust but I won't question a guy who has led us to three straight championships. Go Mean Green.

That's quite a bit more than the 0 he received last night.

Yeah idk if he is still in recovery or what… I mean look at Kawhi Leonard… still sitting tons of games.

If anyone was concerned that a tight win against a bad team might hurt our NET, we actually moved up to 67 from 69. Not great but just glad it didn’t hurt us there.

I didn't think the margin of victory mattered in NET. I thought it was just the Quad 1-4 thing.

I thought there was a difference between a single and double digit victory. At least when it started there was…

To be fair, this was changed in the 2020-2021 season as you have illustrated and removed scoring margin. Efficiency isn't quite the same thing.

Thanks for the heads up. I hadn’t seen a new formula, and even in an article (from this season) I was reading they were still referencing the one I had up.

The one you posted is correct. The old one had 5 metrics. They took it down to 2. I think that's what confused me.
