I know that anyone can agree that North Texas should be thrilled to be in any type of postseason play of any kind in any type of sport. It is what it is, a privilege.

I mean we have the best season in our program's history and we are in the same numbered seeding with Robert Morris, and Morgan State, what???? And SHSU and Montana, and Wofford have better rankings.

But I seriously have doubts that we really are a #15 seed. Just wanted to see what everyone else thought.

See my post titled UNT as compared to Sam Houston State. I'm not usually a big S@#T talker but I think if we went head to head with Sam right now we'd have em pushin up daisy's by the second half... Just my opinion...

No issues with Wofford, SHSU, or Montana really. All have similar, if not superior, resumes to us....don't judge based on their name. Well, we should probably be above Montana...

The schools I'm most irritated by are Ohio and Houston. Both basically sucked it up in their leagues and got decent seeds

U of H is still a prominent basketball team man. Sure they are living on their name a bit but they've been a basketball powerhouse for quite a while...

I don't think so. We did not have the ooc wins, and we did not dominate teams up and down the floor when we should have. Playmaker, I don't see your post as negative, but how many people outside of this board, and hopefully the team, really believe

we are going to beat KSU. We are not even talked about as "you better watch out for North Texas, they are a dangerous basketball team, who dominated their conference, knocked off both Conf USA and Big XII team in out of conference play...blah, blah, blah". If there were that kind of talk, then I would completely agree. We and Lehigh are looked at as warm-ups so that Kansas and Kansas State are the big draw tv game Saturday.

FWIW, I am going to OKC believing we can win. Yes, I am a realist, and I have watched our opponent. But if we as fans do not believe in the team and program , then I think it hinders the team in believing in themselves.

I wonder how much the regional location led to our seeding over anything else....don't get me wrong, I'd love to be playing a 3,4,5 seed right now rather than KSU (who I think is a strong 2 seed)...but I'm ok with that seed if it means a chance to actually see our team play closer to home (OKC).

      UNT students join growing number of pro-Palestinian demonstrations at US colleges

      So true, Americans LOVE football and there are no football fans in that crowd. It reflects horrifically on UNT but a percentage of these haters are surely from the TWU community.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      It’s absolutely ridiculous that some college athletes make more than professional athletes. Makes me think of the old Sports Illustrated bit: Signs of the Apocalypse. I stated this in another thread, but I strongly believe that the players are not the engine that drives the machine, it’s the universities. Ive got a theory that I believe to be true and hopefully I am able to explain it in a way that makes sense. Let’s say that next year, all the talent dropped a level. So Alabama, etc. had the talent usually associated with UNT. UNT had the talent usually associated with SFA. SFA had the talent usually associated with aTm Commerce, etc., etc. Most fans won’t care and most won’t notice the drop off in talent. All most fans care about is their team winning. If we had the talent level of SFA, but we won the American, no one would care that we’re not as talented. I’ll even go a step further and say that must fans would think we were better. Bottom line is that the universities are the ones making the money, not the players. No one is forcing them to play. If they don’t want to play for FREE tuition, don’t play. There’s a line of people wanting to take their place. I was working 25-30 hours a week in a warehouse while going to college, so forgive me if I don’t have sympathy for people who have the opportunity to do something that I wasn’t quite talented enough to do. **That being said, I don’t have a problem with legitimate NIL**

      SB at Charlotte (5/3-5/24)

      So hard to watch this team crumble when everything's on the line. It's happened all season. No excuse for losing this game. Sure the bats were cold, but this is completely on our pitching staff. DeLong has to find us better pitchers with more mental toughness for next season. I can't believe a team this senior heavy that has done what they've done, can't play better than what we are watching. I'll go ahead and say it now. this team (especially the pitching staff) isn't mentally tough enough to win the conference tournament.
