WKU -3.5

im indifferent about this line... I think unt might pull it out

WKU had a girl drop 40

They are snake bit, but WKU is I believe now 5-0 in conference. NT should have won but McCoy out about half the games with foul trouble and Hyder fouled out with about 8 minutes to go. NT women based on play so far look a lot more likely than the men to challenge for Belt titles. They could be very strong by tournament time.

Obviously the girl that scored 40 was the difference, she played guard but NT couldn't stop her outside shot or her driving to the basket.

I have much more confidence in our women's future

Loss by 20 might be too optimistic...Akol drilling 3's? Offense has even less purpose and flow then normal...how many games before we pull the plug?

Does anything ever go right for this program? like seriously? WKU 4-4 from three including some ridiculous shots.

The WKU announcer sucks as well.

Guess not...unfortunately, other than the ridiculous NBA 3, all have been open shots...time to switch to zone????

I liked what I saw with colemen and tmitch for the 30 secs it happened

Just got home. Down 11 at halftime?

Figures.

I reserved my comment on this team until I had ample time to evaluate, now I can tell you exactly why we suck... No one on this team has the "see ball get ball reflex" (Ex. The primary source of the Honeybadgers sucess)!

What I mean by that is no one on this team has the instinct to scoop loose balls, hustle for possession, etc... This is the first thing grade school coaches try and develop, even before shooting technique. Hustle plays change games.

Our players, for the most part, lack off the ball basketball instincts. This is why we are always late to the spot and end up getting blasted from the land of 3. Cant coach basketball IQ my friends...

Overlander hits a trey. Is it a sign?

Mitchell goes out with four fouls and the Toppers go on a run.

Nice few possessions for us there. This is setting up for a down to the wire finish.

I thought CJ may have tore his Achillies the way he reacted.

Timeout Mean Green

Not sure what CJ hurt, but he had to have help to get off court.

Final

good second half come back. this one hurts...again

As bad as they have looked this year, I am going to take this game as a positive

Mitchell was way sub par, Jones injured, gave up 5 straight threes to open game; and yet they made a game out of it
