@MGN_SG Interlocked NT. Should be primary uni.

What alternate are you bringing back for 2026? #GMG

@MeanGreenMBB @duece_3jjr Big time. Would've been nice to keep Terrel on board, too.

Je'Shawn is running it back! 🦅

@mikewebercslt @mosleyj22 @JonRothstein He has to walk the line so when the next Baylor type job opens up he can apply to that one, too. 3 mid major at-larges this year. Fewest ever. And a mid major AD is agreeing with a p4 mouthpiece that all is great.

@mosleyj22 @JonRothstein Every P4 AD is saying it, if not publicly, certainly privately. They are also trying to eliminate auto bids. Open your eyes.

Maybe two people @JonRothstein ! 😜

@DavidRau101 @Aaron_Bracy @GoodmanHoops Dave don't know ball. At all.

@Aaron_Bracy @GoodmanHoops Name a good mid major left out that would have made it before

Favorites went 16-0 yesterday. This year's first round had 13 of 32 games decided by 20+ points. High Point only true mid-major still alive, and its NIL is probably most of any team in 1-bid league. I hate to admit it, but due to NIL & transfer portal, Cinderellas may be dead.

@T_Oglesby22 Which was peddled by the high majors bc RPI was too equitable. Are you serious

Don’t blame the high majors. Blame the metrics that are relied upon for tournament seeding. Blame the NET.

@American_Conf 3 mid/Low majors received at-large bids due to reasons. Those reasons need to be fixed.

A statement from Commissioner Tim Pernetti. #BuiltToRise

@jayCthebull Yeah.. but log jammed with basically 4 other programs. And we have to assume that a couple of the privates are funded better. We're probably 6th, but basically tied for 6th with 3 or 4 others.

UNT has the 4th highest operational budget in the conference (at least publicly) Honestly more than I was expecting

@DamonGochneaur @mosleyj22 Nah. According to this, UNT has the 4th biggest basketball budget in the AAC. "Pay for what you get" = An annual double bye every season. We ain't getting what we're paying for, per this.

Further evidence GrantMcCasland, Ross Hodge, and now Daniyal Robinson do more with less. Multiple conference opponents (USF & Memphis) with twice the annual budget of UNT, before we add in rev share. Huge kudos to @mosleyj22 for continuing to grow and push, but we have to pack the pit, buy more merch, and show up in force if we ever want to close the gap Mean Green Fans. Already renewed my 4 men’s basketball and two women’s basketball season tickets. Will I see you there?

@ChaseTidwell10 @K_Money4real @AuburnMBB People don't know ball

@K_Money4real @AuburnMBB actually a few good programs

Ready to keep competing.

@ESPNLunardi Dismantle the fraudulent NET.

@Kameronlarkins6 @UMBCAthletics @MiamiRedHawks The NET is fraudulent.

@UMBCAthletics @MiamiRedHawks So they deserve to be in for not playing the teams that auburn plays which is 17 q1 teams but should be in to play those teams now at least auburn proved they could beat a 1 seed and the top 3 seed away from home

Just realized the best part of having an autobid is that we don’t need a relative going on tv to explain why we deserve to be in over a 30-win @MiamiRedHawks

@ESPNLunardi Dismantle the NET. This tournament is turning into a joke.

"(The NET formula) rigged the whole system to protect the big conferences. I was in the meetings, I know what happened." - Former South Carolina/Kansas State and current UMass head coach, Frank Martin.

@sec Todd Golden verbally undressed the officials in the 1st half and they've been retaliating to that in their officiating since. Pitiful. Soft men.

@nextlevelbb Another terrible coach take. It's OK for kids to miss a temporary part of their life to spend time with their families. Your world as coach does not control their world as player.

Public Service Announcement If your son was dismissed from his high school team for missing the teams spring break tournament, to go on vacation (beach trip, etc.). Or Your son isn't getting playing time because he missed the spring break tournament for vacation. Do this. Call the school's athletic director or principal and request a meeting. Tell them it's important. At the meeting, tell them how much you appreciate the coach caring enough about your son to teach him about life, and how much you appreciate him holding your son accountable. Then thank them for hiring a coach that cared about commitment, sacrifice and teaching the kids that being a great teammate comes with responsibilities. Then suggest they give the coach a raise, shake their hands and reiterate how much you appreciate them.

@LukeDella Thank goodness Benford wasn't coaching.

North Texas this season has had 15 games (48% of all its games) decided by 4 points or less. -That's a program record -That's an American Conference record -That's the 2nd most ever by a DI school from Texas (h/t to the 1983 Texas Tech Red Raiders who played in 16 such games)

@CoachTParr Congratulations, this about as bad of a take as I have ever heard come from a coach. Just being honest.

Today is the first day of early voting… you all know who I am & that I will continue to fight for transparency, affordability & accountability! I’ll see y’all at the polls! The last democratic governor of Texas faced the exact same attacks, yet she beat them back because she was qualified & strong. “Ann Richards, who served as the 45th Governor of Texas from 1991 to 1995, overcame significant skepticism about her electability to become the first woman elected to the office in her own right. As a liberal Democrat running in a rapidly shifting conservative state, she faced immense pressure and doubt from political insiders before her successful 1990 campaign.”

@tedcruz @grok What's the population of Iran? To think, a country you want to annihilate, you don't know the simplest things about.

@grok To think, she’s named Cortez, and she’s never heard of him….

Hey @grok Where did the Mexicans get horses?

We exposed the global far-right’s playbook at Munich, and how to stop them. Right on cue, Rubio beelined from his revisionist MAGA speech at MSC to boost Orbán in Hungary’s elections. We must wake up before it’s too late. A working class politics can defeat authoritarianism.
