North Texas is for real
Just watching some of the La Tech @ North Texas game and I have to say I am impressed with the Mean Green. They're quick, they shoot well, and Simmons has really nice moves for a big man. UNT will contend.

Thanks. What most people fail to realize is that North Texas is a good defensive team too. I expect us to be in the thick of it at the end of the season, but WKU and ODU look the part too. I would think another team would emerge too. Smart is just now getting healthy, so hopefully we will see him emerge as our big assassin again.

If I had to guess right now, I'd say North Texas, Marshall, WKU, ODU, and LA Tech seem to be the programs fighting it out for spots in the 1st Pod.

UNT shot 55% and Tech shot 28% in first half.

UNT deserve to win the game but I believe Tech is more talented and should beat them. in Ruston, barring anymore injuries. I think UNT loses 5to6 or 7 down the stretch

Unfortunately Tech won't get the chance to play UNT in Ruston though the way the schedule is set up.

North Texas lost their focus and didn't hustle for most of the 2nd half. I'm not saying LA Tech isn't a good team. But, LT led this game for the first 3 minutes and that is it. LT never had another lead after the 17 minute mark in the 1st half. Plus North Texas scored the final 4 points for the contest. I don't think any of that is an indication of LT being more talented.

You were at the game tonight to evaluate and compare the talent level of UNT?

I was at the game. Tech and UNT are very similar in talent. Tech has the edge at guard, UNT has the edge at center. I have no doubt that Tech would beat UNT by tonight's 4-point margin in Ruston.

And thank you UNT for the $5 ticket, $1 Coke, and $1 popcorn. I can't recall the last time I paid those prices at a key conference game. It was appreciated. :)

More talented, maybe but they didn't show it in this game. La Tech looked like primarily a one man team on the offensive end. Bracy was outstanding, but lack of depth is going to be hard for La Tech to overcome.

You didn't see two of our guards Exavian Christon 12.0 ppg and Derric Jean 9.1 ppg. Both are out with injuries.

Yes he was, along with me. You have a good team but Tech played horrible. Shooting 28% in the first half and missing so many free throws did us in. Plus as stated before we are missing two starters who happen to be team captains. Great atmosphere tonight though.

Its really sad when a 12-1 team has to basically give things away to attract fans vs a rival. Ticket, coke, popcorn, would have cost me $41 at a Western home game.

Popcorn- $6

So the sentiment among the non-UNT posters in this thread is “You barely beat us and it’s because you’re lucky we played on the road” but if UNT has lost I’m willing to bet a lot of people would have been calling UNT overrated. It’s like the SEC argument of “We only win bowl games we care about!” UNT played better than LA Tech and thus UNT won.

I don't know how anyone can say with a straight face "North Texas" is for real. We will see, now we could very well get beat at their place but would love to see the Mean Green come to BG and play, would be a culture shock to their players who have barely played anyone on road and when they did in front of about 10 people at Rice, Hawaii and Indiana St.....What is North Texas a P5 team now?, 10 home games already! We have played a grand total of 5 home games....

Definitely not 13-1 "real", Tech couldn't afford to go cold for 10 minutes, shoot 28% and beat a decent team on the road.

I don't think UNT can beat WKU or ODU especially on the road
