The league announced the broadcast schedule for the 2019 season. There are a depressing amount of facebook games. Long time NT fans remember that yes, it was worse one upon a time when streaming an away game was a luxury on whatever Sun Belt partner was sending over pixelated football over the internet in 2006….

Ladies and gentleman, he is gone. Ryan Woolridge was pretty much the heart of this team throughout his career. That was none more evident than in his final postseason tournament. He limped his way to competitiveness, but he was nowhere near the engine that he was during the season. You can make the argument that… Read more »
On the MGN Slack, a slacker posed the question “What should I do now?” after the men’s basketball team lost in the tournament. Typically, this is when MGN takes a break and talks to immediate family, and checks in with the world. On the Slack channel, I joked “you should read.” I thought a little… Read more »
No one wanted to go out and say “Injuries are why we struggled late, and ultimately why this team underperformed” as no one wanted to “make excuses” but still, the injuries were mentioned and well, that was the real reason. After the tournament was over for NT, Zach Simmons and Ryan Woolridge could be seen… Read more »
All seasons that do not end with a trophy presentation end badly. For North Texas, who this time last year was feeling much better about itself and its program, this was a doubly bad game.

Both basketball squads were in action yesterday and both produced quality wins. The men are always going to get a little more praise than the women, but Jalie Mitchell has the more recent tournament success. Last year NT rode a pair of upsets into the semi-final round before losing to eventual winners WKU. This year… Read more »
Zach Simmons dominated. The big NT center said this week “they won’t beat us three times.” It seemed like the kind of thing teams say to motivate themselves, but it was really just prophecy, apprently. Simmons dominated from the jump, getting buckets and finishing around the rim — not missing a shot all night. FIU… Read more »
North Texas women’s basketball is on to face Rice in the next round after beating USM 49-46 in the first game of the first round of the women’s tournament in Frisco. This year’s basketball tournament began on a cold and blustery day, and perhaps as cliche as that can sound, it is nonetheless true. The… Read more »
It all begins today. The men and women get started — with Jalie Mitchell’s team to begin against Southern Miss this morning at 11am. Last season, the women made a little run only to be snuffed out by the eventual tournament champs WKU. This season the roster looks a bit different, but the team is… Read more »
