We've gone through profiles of players at the top of draft boards, we've looked at a slew of point guards and we examined shooting guard and small forward prospects. It's only right we talk about big men at this point.
The UNT sophomore was projected as a possible lottery pick coming into the season, but had an underwhelming campaign as his team stumbled to a very disappointing season.
We take a look at what is really causing all the trouble down at North Texas, and the answer is not what we expected. Time for Tony Benford to buy stock in a dairy farm.
North Texas couldn't even make it close against a Lehigh team missing C.J. McCollum. So how do you even think about considering the Mean Green as the best team in the Sun Belt conference any longer?
North Texas was no match for Lehigh on Thursday night.
A huge crowd of NBA executives, including six general managers or team presidents, will descend upon the Super Pit in Denton on Thursday night to get a closer look at two potential lottery picks in UNT's Tony Mitchell and Lehigh's C.J. McCollum.
All season long we will be tracking the performance of our NBA Draft prospects. What did we learn from watching Doug McDermott and Tony Mitchell on opening night? They are just as good as advertised, and one of them might be underrated.
A pair of preseason All-Americans faced of in Omaha on opening night, and it was Doug McDermott and his Creighton team who emerged victorious against the Mean Green of North Texas and their star forward Tony Mitchell.
Creighton got going early and never looked back against North Texas as they won 71-51 on Friday.
The Bluejays registered their first win of the season.
Marquette assistant Tony Benford will reportedly be named North Texas' new head coach later this week.
