Sometime during the initial five minutes of the game, I tweeted that North Texas could blow this thing open if they continued their way of playing. That did not happen. I also wrote that any lead in this league is unsafe. This proved true. North Texas could not shoot at all through most of the… Read more »

North Texas Falls to 16-2, Loses to UTSA in SA
Sometime after the game the players leave their locker room and don athleisure wear and meander out of the locker room. The crowd of an announced 2600+ that was just loudly cheering for or against the comeback was now quiet, talking about free Whataburger. It was a bit of a strange scene. North Texas had… Read more »
Zachary Simmons Is Good
Previously, I linked to some of the good stuff Zach did against Tech. I wanted to discuss something else he did against UTEP last night. This play is not particular special in that it does not have some outstanding display of other-worldly athleticism like any Zion Williamson highlight. This is instead just good post play….

North Texas Basketball Is Back
The greatest North Texas basketball game I have been to was the win over Texas Tech in the Super Pit on Tuesday November 16th, 2011. The place was packed and North Texas won 92-83 in OT. Josh White had 32 points including a clutch basket down the stretch. NT went 20-11 that season, averaged 4006… Read more »
North Texas Men’s Basketball Falls to Oklahoma 73-57
Mean Green basketball was 8-0 coming into this game and had a big regionally televised game against Oklahoma on the road tonight. NT had every reason to figure it could compete reasonably well in this one. Last year, NT went to Norman and only lost by ten to a Trae Young-led Sooner squad. It could… Read more »
New Basketball Facilities Require Renovation While Being Built
From the DRC: UNT’s new basketball offices, as they were originally constructed, pale in comparison to the area the programs vacated inside the Coliseum. Those offices more closely mirror the standard in college basketball. That is … not good. Chalk this up to the previous regime, which apparently did not consult at least one end… Read more »
Basketball Recruiting Update -4/13
In the past couple of days North Texas Mens Basketball program has gone from 1 open scholarship to 4! Shane Temara graduated. A.J. Lawson, Allante Holston, and Khalil Fuller all decided to transfer out. So that leaves the question who is coming in? Well North Texas has yet to receive a commitment for their 2018… Read more »
Thoughts on the A.J. Lawson Departure
AJ Lawson left the program under good terms with the staff. We take a quick look at the situation and why he likely left.
North Texas Wins 2018 CBI Tournament 88-77 Over San Francisco Dons
North Texas basketball won the CBI Tournament Final 88-77 in a game that meant very little nationally, but very much to the program. Cheap jokes were made, but the uninformed only ever have surface level observations. To truly understand a moment one has to pay attention to the details. The CBI is not prestigious, but… Read more »
2018 CBI Final Game 3: North Texas vs San Francisco
Sometime after the game wrapped on Wednesday night, Your Favorite Blogger (YFB) decided to put off a hastily written recap to enjoy time with his family. Work emergencies, snooze buttons, and the movement of the earth through time and space later, it is the day of game three and no recap is in draft form…. Read more »
