North Texas denied NCAA trip

Lost to Western Kentucky in the Sun Belt championship.

Didn't the Hilltoppers have a losing record?

lol, the last 5 minutes were fun b/c of a combo of shot-making and awful bball IQ. I'm not sure who's more depressed, Glick or Ken McDonald...

I just read the game story. WKU fired their coach when they were 5-11. So this is an interim guy running the team.

FWIW, our next head coach needs to look at Ken McDonald for an assistant role. Guy got it done at UT and was a monster recruiter at WKU, but ran a loose ship. He'd be a huge bench hire for the new regime.

I'm just not crazy about the idea of Johnny Jones being a candidate for this job. Really can't tell you why but it just doesn't grab me.

Just don't know if he can recruit guys that can stay in school at SMU or even to get in to SMU. UNT was easy and his short stint at Memphisas HC was the same....no students, just ballers.

If SMU think of it's basketball players as students, we're at such a competitive disadvantage in the Big East, it won't matter who coaches
