Not sure why the PA guy said it was the largest crowd in history. I need to find the list again, but I think it hit the #6 spot. An absolutely amazing atmosphere. I've seen many college games, including a few at storied Pauley Pavilion(granted not against a top 25 opponent) and none of them had anything on the SuperPit last night. Awesome stuff.

he said it was the 5th largest.

Oh and we need to just hire Canalas or someone for the cheap so we can save money for JJ in the future.

This was one of the best games I've witnessed at the Pit - ever, and I've been going to games since I was a teenager in the 80's. Loved it!!!!! From the music fraternity singing the anthem so well,

West division champion? eh...kinda pointless since we were Sun Belt tournament champions. Personally, I think teams should only raise banners for championships or in the case of NCAA basketball Sweet

The Tech fans sitting around us did NOT see this coming. It was so wonderful watching the realization rapidly arrive on their faces. Outside of Singletary and maybe the big white thug, I saw no one on their roster I'd like for our own.

Reese and Crockett over either of those two.

Now, that's what I'm talking about when it comes to fan and student support. Students were fantastic last evening and the place was really nicely filled...7100+...George (or Hank...I don't recall) said it was the largest crowd in 30 years. I loved the fact that so many football players and football coaches were in attendance as well. Coach Canales told me last evening that he told the team that unless they had academic commitments, he wanted to see them at the game.

This is one of the games to remember. Great to see the Tech fans walking out "head in hand" after so many had a few negative things to say about UNT. Shows what they know...I guess the news really doesn't get out to the sandy wasteland of Lubbock these days.

Anyway, well done JJ and company. You guys rock! So, let's bring this crowd back for the Rice game next Tuesday! GO MEAN GREEN!

Scoreboard.

Go roll in the aisles and giggle on Techland. It's in the bag. Josh White's enormous, horse-sized Man Bag.

Tech boards Dragondawg must be in an identity crisis right about now. Pretty harsh before the game.

My experience reading a lot of BCS AQ boards leads me to believe many - if not most - of their fans do not comprehend the parity that exists in bball vs. football.

I'm sure the two you named are probably more talented, I just really liked the game I saw out of Singletary. That kid was all over the court all night long pestering everyone. Plus... Every team needs a gigantic white guy.

It didn't look like Singletary wanted to take over the game until it was too late.

Crockett was very tough last night. He was a matchup nightmare for our D. He scored down low with ease, and he had a nice outside shot as well. I think this guy will be very good for them in the future.

Man last night was a hell of a game. Probably the best experience I have had since I came here in 2007. I had a great time down in the pit crew, and rushing the court. Which was led by former football walk on Robbie Deheck. That kid is crazy, he heckled the Tech bench the entire night.

wow what a great crowed. Everyone was focused, which was nice to see. Mostly people are milling around and talking but everyone kept their attention on the game last night. These kind of games really build school pride and you can tell everyone was bursting with it after the game.

Josh White has ice in his veins. I thought he would run out of time but he came through. Odufawa, Thompson, and Hogans are also terrific, as well as the whole team.

I was really pulling for 8-8.5k in the crowd and was a little disappointed that there weren't more people but the ones who came we couldn't ask for better support.

On a side note I hadn't been to the Pit in a while. When did they repaint/remodel the concession stands? It looked very, very nice. Especially the trophy display area.

(I'm trying to attatch an image from my computer, I pick the picture but when I click the "choose this file" button nothing happens.??)

      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)

      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.
