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 [...]

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. Although Johnny Jones thinks at that point the squad could have converted some opportunities and pushed it out to 30 [...]
UNT 68 FIU 61: Brandon Walton Is Heating Up
For all the love we shower on Tony Mitchell, much of it rightly deserved, he isn’t a one man show. Let’s give a nice round of applause to one Brandon Walton. Number 2 in your program and number 1 in your hearts — if you love three point barrages. I do and so he is. [...]
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.
Jordan Williams and Chris Jones are Ineligible
This via Denton RC Chris Jones and Jordan Williams, two key members of North Texas’ highly rated freshman class who have started most of the season, did not meet academic eligibility requirements in the first semester of the school year and will not play for the Mean Green the remainder of the season, head coach [...]
Dunk Fest: Mean Green 84 WKU 67
This is the kind of game we hoped for few weeks back wasn’t it? You know, Tony Mitchell and Jordan Williams dunking all night, and Roger Franklin dominating inside and in the midrange. It took another bad opponent and a few weeks but the result is glorious. Western Kentucky has been a force, and perhaps [...]
Gut Punch: Ark St Win at the Buzzer
I couldn’t even stand to write anything about this game. Right now all I could stand is to show you the video. Chris Jones was blocked (fouled?) on a shot that he made just seconds before to put us in the lead. Then this happened:
North Texas 78 South Alabama 73
I don’ t know why I feel like I have a personal rivalry with USA. I found myself looking forward to watching this game as I left the parking lot this evening. I was about to tweet something when I asked myself, “why?” The answer? Dunno. That still escapes me. I only saw the first [...]
UALR Wins Again
I missed this one too. It’s a bad habit I’ve been developing and I mean to stop it dead. I gathered what I could from this thread, Vito’s blog , and Mean Green Premium to say this: 1. We need a better fucking stream on MGP, dammit. 2. This loss was a bad one. 3. Chris [...]
