ULL 57 UNT 43: Ugly Senior Day Loss
As crushing a blow as that loss on Saturday to ULL was to you, it was just as painful for Tony Mitchell. At least, that is what I gathered from his post-game expression and tweet. There was a look of frustration on Mitchell’s face as Jacob Holmen was unable to find both he and Tyler [...]
Mitchell Candidate for Lou Henson Award
Tony Mitchell is a finalist to receive the Lou Henson Award. Started in just 2010, the previous two years’ winners were Keith Benson and Matt Howard of Butler and Oakland respectively. Let’s hope Tony Mitchell can bring UNT to the list this year. Good luck Tony!
NT 81 FAU 86: Blowing 19-point Leads Edition
I’ll take the heat for this one guys. Right around an hour before the clocked ticked down to double-zeros on a FAU 19-point comeback, double-OT win I tweeted that UNT had this thing locked up.

Jan 28th: North Texas is 13-9, 6-3
After that revenge win against the Red Wolves, neé Indians, we are 9-2 at home going into the biggest game of the season. Middle Tennessee is in the middle of a perfect campaign in the Sun Belt Conference. It is a great time to face them. Tony Mitchell is in excellent form (to steal a [...]
Exhibition Win
I’ll leave the recap to Vito, who was there and watched that. This is a weird glorified practice in which Tyler Hall played well.
