i have no data to back up this statement, but, is it just me, or has the offense picked up the pace lately?

I feel like since the Rice game, our offense has not decided to run the clock as much. is there a simple way to look up splits on time per possession this year?

I was thinking the same thing. The offense is not so much milking the clock, it’s waiting for the right moment to drive, cut, shoot.

 IIRC, Grant chewed out Perry for not shooting at 7 secs left in the clock when he had the shot.  TP had settled for a bad shot.

I'd like to see shot clock violation stats.  I bet we lead the country in those, lol.  We were becoming too predictable. 

Part of the new success has been Huntsberry driving the lane and making layups.  He is so quick in there and a leaper.

This is being talked about more in the broadcasts and podcasts.  Players are seemingly comfortable with their roles now.  Guys seem to know more about what the expectations are, and the system is being embraced.

All it took was the [shot] clock going out at the Rice game.

If we win this game, do you think we will get some top 25 votes in the rankings? 

I think it's likely.  I can't guarantee it without knowing how other games will play out, but it makes a lot of sense, especially if we were to pick up one more solid road win.  In this week's AP poll, Kent State, Southern Miss, and College of Charleston each received between 2-4 votes.  Those 3 are all below NT in NET ranking, they all have similar records (2 of the 3 also have 5 losses), and they're all from conferences currently rated lower (according to RPI) than CUSA.  It's not an exact science, but I feel like those examples above are a decent barometer of what NT should/shouldn't expect.

We have to win the tournament to get into the NCAAs even if we win the next 5 and lose to FAU in the final. We might make the first four out but that’s at best.  Not being negative just realistic. 

I think we will be in the bubble discussion if and only if we lose in the final to FAU.  Any other loss would be doom.

What I worry about, and not a lot of people are talking about right now, is the total madness that is conference tournaments.  You can always count on a small handful of underdogs making huge runs, winning the auto-bids when they otherwise would have never been considered for the NCAA, and consequently knocking bubble teams out of the picture.

They’ll never do this but conference “tournaments” should be top four teams. That’s it. Best team has home court for the tourney.

I thought this was a pretty good rundown.  Note, he doesn't give us a very high chance for an at-large.

We arent getting an At-Large bid.  Our conference is simply not strong enough and the aren’t going to change that.  This is a 1-bid league.  Next year, We will be in an ocean that raises all boats a little higher.

I mean if you look at the rundown, the AAC isn't in much better shape right now.

It sure isn't once Houston leaves. I really think UNT, UAB, and maybe FAU (obviously having a good season but need to see it more than once) have what it takes to keep the basketball side of the AAC up but don't know if it'll be enough to earn multiple bids moving forward. Current NET rankings:

#1 UH, #20 FAU, #39 Memphis, #46 UNT, #64 UAB, #76 UCF, #80 Cincy, #87 Tulane.

That's the top 100 between the current AAC and CUSA. We lose UH, UCF, and Cincy but at least replace Cincy and UCF with better teams as they are this season. Going to need strong OOC wins next season if the new AAC wants multiple bids.

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      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.

      SB vs Wichita State (4/26)

      Here's what the conference tournament would look like if it started today. Finished 2nd or 3rd is the difference between having to win just two games in two days, or four games in four days. Wednesday, May 8 - First Round Game 1: No. 5 Wichita State vs No. 8 South Florida - 10 a.m. (ESPN+) Game 2: No. 4 Tulsa vs No. 9 UTSA - 1 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 3: No. 6 UAB vs No. 7 East Carolina - 4 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 4: No. 10 Memphis vs No. 3 North Texas - 7 p.m. (ESPN+) Thursday, May 9 - Second Round Game 5: Winner WSU/USF vs Winner Tulsa/UTSA - 12 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 6: Winner UAB/ECU vs Winner Memphis/UNT - 2:30 p.m. (ESPN+) Friday, May 10 - Semifinals Game 7: Winner WSU/USF/Tulsa/UTSA vs No. 1 FAU - 12 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 8: Winner UAB/ECU/Memphis/UNT vs No. 2 Charlotte - 2:30 p.m. (ESPN+) Saturday, May 11 - Championship Game 9: Winner Game 7 vs Winner Game 8 - 11 a.m. (ESPN2)

      SB vs Wichita State (4/26)

      Yes, win 2 of 3 in Charlotte and should be at least Top 2. If we do that and there's a three-way tie for first at 19-8, I'd imagine we'd take the top spot because we'd be 4-2 vs. the field, FAU 3-3, and Charlotte 2-4 in that hypothetical. Thanks! Wasn't able to watch that game, just kept up on Twitter.
