UNT was the preseason favorite to win the West, but we seem to have their number.
We lost our best big man, and their All-Conference big man (Eric Tramiel) may be out as well.
They lost their point guard at the start of this season. We lost what would have been our starting senior point guard before the end of last season.
So we both have our problems. Still, at worst I think we will both be average to above average Sun Belt teams this year.

They will likely be more athletic than we are. We will be better coached and, if history is any indication, play harder.

So who wins? I don't have a clue.

Isn't that what makes college basketball fun? We could win big, could win in a squeaker, could lose in a squeaker, or get blown out. If you are not present you won't know. So 4:30 pm tomorrow, the place to be is the Jack!

Yep, we really don't have a clue either. Can't wait for this afternoon - we both need wins so I expect a real struggle

In the past we played a different style of ball. We have changed our style at little and I fear that is going to give NT more of a chance than in the past.

Indeed that is one of the things I am really latching onto at this point.

On related note Coach Jones can become the second winningest in program history with a victory today(well he shares the title right now, with his next win he gets it outright). Obviously I hope he gets it against yall, but if not he will soon.
