OK, it's the Bleacher Report, but thanks for the recognition. Hopefully Tony & crew will make our last basketball season in the Belt memorable.

Six games into Tony Mitchell's career at North Texas, he was averaging 10.3 points and 6.7 rebounds. Respectable numbers for a freshman, but not so much for a player who was being hyped as a potential NBA lottery pick. Some may have wondered what all the hype was about.

On January 5, South Alabama found out. Mitchell exploded for 34 points on 11-of-14 shooting from the floor and 9-of-11 from the foul line. Also, he added 16 rebounds.

Later, Mitchell had a similar game against Denver and brutalized Florida Atlantic for 22 points, 21 boards, five assists and six blocks.

Mitchell didn't quite qualify for the Sun Belt's individual stat rankings, but his averages would have led the conference in rebounding and blocks while finishing third in scoring.

His surprising return to UNT should be very disturbing for his Sun Belt opponents. Much like Jarnell Stokes, Mitchell can still improve with a full season of work.

North Texas loses only a couple of bench players from the 2011-12 squad and should be considered the team to beat in its final season in the Sun Belt.
