It’s in Denton,Tx. My wife took summer school classes there so she’s an alum. We’re celebrating!

I've seen some bad basketball games in my time....but not sure I've ever seen a team fail to score a single point over the last 8:30 of a game....maybe not even in 5-6 grade girls games.

Their last possession was comically embarrassing.

ESPN play-by-play shows 0 points in final 9:08 and only 3 in the final 13:12. 13 minutes of play and the ball went threw the hoop 1 time.
-
13 second half points
-
Yes but UWs offensive play style is still attractive to the youths
-
that is incredible...ly brutal!! last point was with 9:08 remaining??
maybe that was the players parting gift to gard
-
Maybe McIntosh will “Dis-Gard” Gard in Vegas after that showing :)

anyone check on sully? he's probably passed out in his lazy boy with a bottle of old grandad in a brown paper bag in his tightie off whities

Conference USA is 16-1 this postseason. They already won the CBI (Charlotte). They may have both NIT finalists. (N. Texas, UAB) And, they have an NCAA Tourney Final Four Team. (FAU)

So of the 16 wins 4 mean something more than absolutely nothing.

To you maybe. It might not mean anything to you. I’m sure they’re enjoying it. Good for them.

How does any Badger fan defend Gard with a straight face still?
He’d be fired tonight if I were McIntosh.

Who is enjoying it? Conference USA? All four teams that got those 16 wins are leaving this year for the AAC. Conference USA once again picked clean of their top programs. Nothing to feel happy about.

It's in the Superbar, just like this thread should be.

Were you around Scoop circa March 2018? Some people here were over the moon.

Why am I being attacked? I asked a simple question and just had no idea where NTU or UNT is located.

Just make sure you’re not a certified University North Texas alum. Your sweatshirts cause snickers around the water cooler

So hold up a second...the box score I see reads that the Rodent-Weasels scored 13pts in the 2H? I's my math accurate? Is this a NIT record?
-
I love how Badger fans were holding up that win over Liberty like a holy relic when Liberty only advanced because Nova sat their two best players. Shows you what most programs think of the NIT. Also making a big deal out of Crowl’s 36-point first round game. A truly bad year for them, but you know they really, really wanted to win that second rate, low rent tournament.

It's the Harvard of Denton, TX.

Look on the bright side. At least he’s not calling 911 to ask them.

In all seriousness is 9 mins without scoring a point an all-time record?

I’m assuming you’re not joking, but it’s not even close to a record. NIU went 16 minutes without scoring about 10-15 years ago.

I wasn't joking. 16 mins is insane.

Seriously? North Texas U? I now understand what a joke the NIT has become. I now understand why UNC refused. The damage to UW reputation far exceeds any possible gain from winning the NIT. Badgers lose to Power House NTU. FLMAO

Nowhere, because it doesnt exist, it is University of North Texas (UNT) - use duckduckgo if you don't like Google.

go to Bucky’s5thQuarter. Comments are hilarious. Hoping Gard stays. I certainly don’t want success for them. Ever. Double ever.

Great time for a 5 year extension for Gard.

North Texas has won 30 games, and have the nations no.1 scoring D. Not bad.
Would be cool to see C-USA sweep the post season.

I seriously doubt that they will. March Madness is a humongous success among people who never watch at all during the regular season. Cinderellas are an essential part of that success, providing the public with David vs. Goliath scenarios. Without that, the national audience size (and Big Bucks) disappears.

I'd guess 99% of college basketball fans have seen, at most, 4 of those games. The 3 I've seen have been pretty fun.

My cousin, Paul, is a graduate in the early 90s'. He headed there from Connecticut because they had a great music school.
After graduation, he had a gig for a years playing guitar for Blood, Sweat & Tears. Work sin the music industry in Dallas.

UNT is a half hour north of Dallas, 42,000 students.
Much more of a residential school than in years past, and significant improvements to its athletic department have it moving up to the AAC next year. Think of it as comparable to South Florida, except on the plains.

If we wanted to compare it to South Florida, it would have to be located in Nacogdoches.

I read that apparently Gard is going to be "very active" in the Portal. Should we be concerned about this? I thought that's "not how they do things" there? Unless they're only going after Ivy League and MIT/Cal-Tech players? Should we assume they will all have to take Linear Algebra or a String Theory class for admittance?

I heard that Hepburn and Essegian both planned on entering the portal. Davis is basically a guarantee to hit the portal.
They may have "found the money" to keep Hepburn and Essegian but only time will tell.

Not surprising when you only have 5 major conference caliber players on your roster. It’s a miracle they won as many games as they did with how bad their bench was.
I don’t have any confidence in Gard in being able to effectively navigate the modern recruiting landscape.
-
Hepburn, LOL. He wouldn't get 10 minutes a game at Marquette.

Why? Are they moving to the Big East?

While reading into kids' body language (or social media posts) is probably useless, man, the few times I saw parts of Bagder games, Chucky did not look happy to be there. Could just be his demeaner, too, of course.

Milwaukee business journal reports that Summit credit union signed an NIL deal with the UW team. I no longer subscribe so only get headlines. Could be just football, or just bball.

I guess we will see if they indeed "found the money" for Hepburn and Essegian or not soon with Davis entering the portal already.

Little do they know their dentists are funding Marquettes NIL.
Trickle-down NIL.

I wish he would…
But I don’t believe for a min that
Essegian is leaving. No way.

As a teenager, I worked in the New Orleans area of Opryland, and I befriended most of the musicians that played Dixieland jazz there. Quite a number of them were students or graduates of UNT (back then it was called North Texas State). It was the first university to offer a degree in jazz studies, and it is still considered the best school in the world to study Jazz music.

They are in a tough spot.
Their team stinks and Gard probably feels like he is fighting for his job. I'd expect them to hammer the transfer portal as their last chance effort to not get fired.
-
Hepburn, LOL. He wouldn't get 10 minutes a game at Marquette.
Since he's from Omaha, I think Chuck would like to see himself in Creighton blue and white. But I doubt he can play in the Big East, and I doubt McDermott would have any interest.

You doubt he can play in BE why?
His problem is way to injury prone.

I understand the Badgers are hated here and myself among them, but let’s not talk like an idiot. He’s the only reason they beat us for starters.

While I do agree with you, he also lost them quite a few games with his eFG.

Out of more than 500 D-I players who attempted more than 200 2FGAs, his 2Fg% was the third worst

It sure fun the read buckyville with ETR (who quit posting his 10 things as the badgers suck vibes grew during the year) now coming back on the board to defend Gard against all the Gard pitchforkers.
Also fun to see the badgers fans who previously thought their program was too good to go the transfer route now are have their beliefs all in on the badgers getting better in on Gard improving the team with transfers. Realistic badger fans doubt Gard can really move the needle with transfers with the recent track record of poor recruiting.

Gard apologists are really putting in some overtime. I love how the paid shills like Evan Flood and Potrykus resort to mocking their subscribers opinions.

Wait until the day comes and they fire Gard and Flood and Potrykus change course. Frankly, Potrykus deserves the misery he gets on Twitter for being so wrong on the Fickell front.

Was he making the choice to lie for clicks when he knew the truth? Or was he just wrong?

He was just wrong. He was posting on Buckyville it was a “done deal”.

I've said since day 1, I'm all aboard the Gard at UW train. Sign him to a lifetime contract. Are the MU fans who paid the Hausers to not go to UW available to fund Gard's extension?

An NIL fund to pay players not to go to UW? Sounds good.

As long as Gard is there, the cost to pay players NOT to go to UW will be far lower than the cost would be to get them to actually go there.

I thought it was possible once they got eliminated from the NCAAs. But I think he hangs on for one more year. If he misses the tourney next season, I think he's gone.

I hope they extend his contract.
Pat Richter hit a home run when he hired Dick Bennett which slowly began the reversal of 45+ years of embarrassing failure. Bo Ryan expanded that success.
If the new AD goes out to hire a new coach, who's to say they don't stumble on to the next up and coming Shaka Smart or next Tony Bennett or Tom Izzo.
I'm perfectly happy with Gardo.
-
Keep Gard - ceiling is getting lower each year. Fun sending badger fans - first one to 50 wins every game.

I think his buy-out has a big step down after next season. That said, the guy just won the B1G last year.

I don’t think Badger fans care enough about basketball to fire Gard with a B10 title there so recently. I think he’ll keep getting them to the tourney and a modicum of success that isn’t a dumpster fire, but is ugly and bland.
It’ll be the optimum expression of Badger Basketball, and he’ll be there another ten years.
God bless the Wisconsin athletic department.

Fair. Who though would they get to come in? The fans are delusional thinking they could poach top coaches like Tony Bennett. Heard recently a few that thought Shaka would jump at the UW job if offered.
These people are fully delusional. All they’ll get is a Wojo / Crean type from outside of UW. Their fan base is not ready for that and would not have the patience .
I bet that if Gard gets the boot, they hire a promising assistant coach from out of state then fire him after 4 seasons of mediocre performance.

It's a great question. They'll probably hire whoever the hot name is next year. The Bennett and Shaka stuff is nonsense and should be treated as such.
If they don't have a hot name they'll probably hire someone like Doug Wojcik... Or throw a bunch of money at Pat Kelsey.

IF there is a high-level coach that would leave for Wisconsin, then that person is Tony Bennett. Especially if Virginia has a down year or a late-season "collapse" like they did this year and he feels a little heat. People in Charlottesville might eventually get tired of the Bennett style of play, but it would be popular in Madison.
I'd put this at about a 5% chance, but it is possible.

Agreed. I think it would be more likely than a few years ago. No inside info, but just seems like since the National Championship, they’ve hit a bit of a lull. I could see him wanting a bit of a change.
