My brother in Christ, this isn’t a Highlander situation - there are way more than two people laughing at you. Is the desired outcome for all this for us to go wow, that’s a really good insight be

Bro I think that Buffalo loss is still hurting us.

Has anyone ever been prouder of repeatedly saying “you know, the ranking and record would be better if we won more games?”

my bad, they moved UNT in the 'work to do category' one of only 6 total mid-majors (including Gonzaga and St. Mary's) to make their article

North Texas Mean Green

With an eight-point road victory at Louisiana Tech, Grant McCasland's group has now won seven in a row and reached 22-5. North Texas dropped two games to Florida Atlantic but is 12-1 against the rest of Conference USA. For a second consecutive season, Mean Green guard Tylor Perry is lighting up the league with made shots from both sides of the arc and at the line at a listed height of 5-foot-11. UNT is one of 35 active Division I programs that has not faced a major-conference opponent this season. Nevertheless, the Mean Green clock in as a top-50 team in the NET rankings. (updated Feb. 16)

An announcer quoted UTEP’s coach during a broadcast (paraphrasing), “If we don’t have to play UNT, we don’t want to play UNT.”

at lot of those bubble schools are trending in the wrong direction

If NC looses to NC State tomorrow then they are done...USC probably has 2-3 losses left on their schedule and Memphis has to play Houston twice and visit Wichita st.  UNT would still need to win out and Utah St would probably need another loss in order to move UNT into contention.

No reason for them to get 5 and CUSA get 1. Our league reps in the NCAA Tournament have consistently over performed while perennially being under-seeded. Don’t know how the committee doesn’t see this.

It's probably the toughest reality of MBB right now.  Top tier mid majors - which usually includes 2-3 CUSA teams - really really struggle to schedule games against top competition....As Grant and Co have said, no one wants to play us.

On the committee's end, they want to see evidence that a team is worthy and we don't bring any (of that evidence) to the table.  The committee generally prefers trusting major programs that have played high-level competitoin - even if they've lost all of the games! - over teams that just lack said evidence.

So, here we are, one of a small handful of programs with stellar records but zero-to-few quality games to put on our resume.  It isn't that we are bad, it's that we haven't been afforded evidence that reflects we're good.  Not the kind of evidence, anyways, that the committee likes to see.

IIRC, this was one of the main reasons why Indiana got picked over us last year.

What an amazing job this staff does every season.     It seems like every year there is a lot of roster turnover and by the end we finish higher than the preseason predictions.

I am really enjoying this 6 year ride, starting with the CBI championship.

MWC is a solid basketball conference, they have 5 schools in the top 50 in NET (PAC12 has 2 in the top 50 in NET).  The problem with CUSA is the bottom of the conference is so bad it makes it hard to advance in the rankings.  This will change when we get to the AAC, Wichita and Memphis are very capable of being top 50, as well as a few other programs.

Important game of the night IMO: Clemson losing to 4-23 Louisville. Clemson has been a bubble team in most brackets. Surely that'll be in the minds of decision makers come selection sunday.

Ok State got clobbered, Wisconsin lost (to another bubble team in Rutgers), Pitt lost. Few important games tomorrow. Sadly, Utah State beat Nevada. Will be interesting to see what the next bracket talk looks like.

Nevada had a 15 point lead at half, then fell apart in second half.

Yeah really sucks they couldn't finish it. During the UH - Memphis half time show they said UNC should all be out with this loss to NC State. North Carolina is 0-9 in Quad 1 wins. I realize we've played very few Quad 1s but 0-9 is hard to justify putting in the field. It'll come down to their conference tournament at this point and if they can make a run there.

Memphis lost to Houston and Maryland lost to Nebraska. Not that Maryland is in bubble talks, they're a "should be in," but any high major collapses are welcome.

Big game right now with Oregon in a close one against Washington state. Really need the cougars to win this one.

Wash St wins 68-65.

Yup. Didn't think they'd pull it out after Oregon came back from down 10 to up by 1 but they figured out a way to make more plays. Scrappy win. I'll take it.

Now to Boise State who is currently in. Would like them to beat UNLV. Not sure where they Rebels stand in all this but if Boise State is already in, I'd rather another MWC team not sneak their way into conversations.

      How Mean Green softball is shaping up in 2025 and beyond

      In my relatively short time as a Mean Green fan, I don't think I've seen a team so carried by seniors. This weekend's series was the last three games at Lovelace for 10 Mean Green seniors, and all but one (Truitt) was either an everyday starter or saw significant playing time. Here's who will be returning barring any transfers. All classifications are what they will be in 2025. Likely starters (in my opinion) Rylee Nicholson (SR) - UT Cierra Simon (SR) - SS Madison Conley (SO) - UT Tatum Sparks (JR) - UT Elizabeth Moffitt (SO) - C Jodie Epperson (JR) - OF Returning Pitching Staff Skylar Savage (SR) Mackenzie Childers (JR) Kayleigh Smith (SO) Returning, but will they play? Mikaela Olguin (JR) - OF Emma Grahmann (SR) - IF Blayze McNemar (SO or RS-F?) - OF Maci George (SO or RS-F?) - IF There doesn't appear to be a website to find commits for softball, so through social media, here are the incoming freshmen I have found: Katy Brock, OF, Mabank Shelby Buffington, P, Franklin Page (Tennessee) Rylie Harris, C, Forney Gracie Mahoney, P, Macomb Dakota (Michigan) - another 6 footer, like Skylar Ausha Moore, IF, Carl Albert HS (Midwest City, OK) Taylor Platt, OF, Argyle Committed Inbound Freshmen for 2026 Eva Daniels, IF, Forney Laila Nobles, IF, Pearland Addie Perry, UT/C, Aledo Love the Metroplex talent we are bringing in. Forney's currently the #1 team in the state. But looks like we still have a handful of spots to fill next year. Going to need to improve the hitting and power. Maybe we can land some home run threats in the portal who want to get closer to home. I'll post stories and highlights of the commits shortly.

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      Hopefully after a few more years we will all be more accepting of heartbreak. I got used to it in high school.

      Yes, foolish us fans for thinking players are here in the program and loyal to the school.

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      It's easier for us to say it's fun since we're not the ones who have to recruit an entire new team every year, but it's honestly exciting to see how the new team is built. The max exodi of beloved players sucks, but in this new age losing guys like TP, Drez, Rubin and Aaron doesn't have to mean a several-year rebuild. Now we can "retool" and even get better. I think this year was more of a gut punch because it felt to me and many others that Rubin and Aaron were Mean Green for life. They've been the constant leaders throughout the past turnover. But even healthy we weren't the most talented team in the conference. And I trust Hodge. The past seven years Grant and Hodge have run a clean program and as much as I love the guys who have played for us, I trust Hodge and Forte will continue recruiting players who will be good representatives of the university, even if only for a year. I also agree we need two more PF's - at least one who can space the floor shooting 3's. Assuming we have at least three scholarships left, so assume we'll see another guard. I'd like to see us bring on one guy who's averaged 18PPG or more. Doesn't matter which position though it'd be a nice changeup for it to be a high scoring big man.

      The last home games of the 2023-24 school year

      Weather has become a factor in a lot of games this season. Wet spring has really made this softball season pleasant. Feel like we had several 90+ degree games last season.
