I honestly am more excited to see what the girls are going to do tonight than I am about any remaining games on the Men's schedule, and I have Men's seasons tickets...

it's been a long break since they played Oklahoma and I'm hoping they have kept things rolling in practice over that span...

Let's go Ladies!

I have women's season tickets also. They are ranked 4th in the Sunbelt by RPI, 50th in the nation (I think, I looked yesterday). They play hard, they have worked very hard to be where they are. None will ever play professionally. They are in it for the education. I love to watch them. We need a lot more butts in seats, come and watch once and you will be back. Petersen is a good coach and he has some very good young players, only one senior. Loryn Goodwin is the sister of the Olympic sprinter and football player at UT. She is good, will get better. Laura McCoy can hit a 3 from anywhere, NBA + range. Alexis Hyder, another frosh, scored 60+ in a high school game. She knows what to do when she gets the ball. I think they will play more than one at Hot Springs. If you like basketball, you will like this team.

Well, women follow men's lead; and lose to a bad UTA team.

Man, tough loss...that sucks...really sorry to see this. Much better team than they obviously played this evening. Ladies will be OK...Coach Petersen knows what he is doing. This team will be OK, but tough loss tonight. Really tough times for the UNT BB program right now. Time to support this program while the ship gets righted.

Strange game, the team had easy shoots all night and missed most of them. They shot bad and got killed on the boards. I hope the UTA game is a fluke not the OU game.

A very disappointing game, NT is a relatively young team but they should not have lost to this UTA team. Stanley played well but missed at least 5 almost uncontested under the basket shots. Hyder and Goodwin are good going to be great players, but are making rookie errors. McCoy had one of her worst games tonight.

A problem playing UTA is that they seem to take it a lot more seriously than NT.

The ladies had a great run to start the second half, and I thought they were on the way to a blowout. UTA came back and pulled it out in the last five minutes.

They had good looks at the basket, but the shots did not fall. That includes many missed lay-ups, which is where UTA got the boards. Loryn Goodwin, in particular was awesome on defense, and got several steals.

Living in Flower Mound, I want to see McCoy do well; but she was clearly frustrated last night. She even drew a foul in the first 30 seconds. She fell down on another foul and rejected Hannah Christian's offer to help her up. Near the end, she got into a verbal altercation with a UTA player, which led to a double technical. Petersen then benched her for the rest of the game. That is when UTA pulled away. I think Goodwin was also on the bench most of the last five minutes.

I don't disagree with benching McCoy - she needs to show emotional leadership.

      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.

      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.

      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.
