Green Otaku

What CMJ said 😅

Yeah I didn't realize they had missed so many.

*updated with minutes and more stats Wow I did not know Eady only played 5 mins. We basically played a 7 man rotation.

Sissoko came up huge today, we can see the parts he still needs to work on when he doesn't know when to stay in the lane or come out to defend. Mac made good adjustments and rotated Martinez in when Sissoko was getting beat to keep his confidence up. The team kept grinding and kept digging. The mental part of the game is just so huge in games like this, very proud of the guys. Also 90% shooting at the stripe today.

LFG Baby!!!! GO MEAN GREEN!!!!

Glad to be up, we have missed too many layups/fast breaks. We've left about 6 easy points on the floor. Good job on defense, keep hounding them. Clean up the mistakes and build the lead.

Let's Go Mean Green!!!!

It was always going to be a very low to almost 0 chance he would play. Flying to NYC and back, leaving team practice and all of the game prep they have to do, and on top of that for a 2 day turnaround. It just wasn't going to happen unless he got back early Monday.

I say we put a lid on this thread until after the game tonight. I have a lot of thoughts to say, but I think we could all do without the distraction for at least today.

I have wondered this too. I would think Nike would have no problem sending more jerseys and that they would be free? I don't think we pay Nike to give us jerseys, they provide them as part of our licensing agreement. At least I think that's how it works, someone else correct me if I'm wrong. The other issue is do the jerseys come blank? I noticed our names and numbers are embroidered and sewn on, not screen printed. So maybe the issue is getting more numbers/letters and getting those put on?

The players love the alternate jerseys, so more than not expect them to be in the black unis tonight.

I'm glad people are coming around to the idea. Just don't expect people to be happy about it, while unwilling to actually discuss their point.

Tough road game, but at this point there are no easy games left. Let's hope we come out red hot like in the last game.

Agree, and as much as I love UNT basketball what he is dealing with is more important. Hoping that he and his family are ok and it's nothing major.

If they stay it keeps the conference stable and they are a good program to have, but we can't blame them for looking out for themselves. We would be doing the same thing. What would be bad is if they also take someone like Tulane. I think that would be a bigger blow.

It's understandable he would need to ease in since he started the year injured. It's not just the physical part of recovering from the injury, the time it takes to get back into game shape, but also the mental part. Feeling secure and confident plays a big role. Plus he also had a re-injury scare in the Bahamas tournament from a slip.

Rumblings of some news tomorrow, and hint that it won't be pretty. Let's see if it's actually something or just rumors. It could end up being nothing.

It makes me wonder who does the count for these games? Is it still UNT or does someone from the NIT do it?

Agree, but at least it would look respectable at half full.

Most wins in school history if I'm not mistaken. The evidence that we need a smaller arena is there, people just don't want to accept it.

Against a weak opponent that wasn't athletic enough to cover our shooting, while shooting lights out. What happens when we aren't on fire and the other team is in your face on every shot? It was good to show a different look and adapt, but having more options is always better. There is nothing stopping us from running this system even if Ousmane is available (we did at the beginning of the year when Martinez was getting all of the backup minutes), however without him we are severely limited going down low for points in the paint.

Dominating and resounding win. The perfectionist in me would have liked the bench to look a little smoother and better drilled when they came in. There were some easy layups missed. I really hope Ousmane is ok and that it's nothing major with his family. Best wishes to him.
