I miss pep bands, gotta say.

I know it was a scramble situation, but that was a terrible last second shot. Surely we could have had a backup plan if that was the first option.

UTSA 64 ----------- NT 62 Final

No excuses, we just blew it

UTSA 60 ----------- NT 59 3:41 to go We're in real trouble. Roadrunners have hit something like 5 of their last six shots, with three of those being from behind the arc.

NT 53 ----------- UTSA 51 6:26 to go Just can't put them away....

NT 53 ----------- UTSA 46 8:30 to go Had a chance for a nice fast break, but Jones couldn't convert.

NT 53 ----------- UTSA 44 9:51 to go Roadrunners were starting make me sweat a bit, but a nice spurt to get a more comfortable margin again.

NT 45 ----------- UTSA 38 14:14 to go Like the way we have begun this half.

NT 37 ----------- UTSA 32 Halftime Solid half, but we're playing their pace, not ours.

NT 31 ----------- UTSA 28 3:08 to go Gotta hope Ivy-Curry cools off.

NT 24 ----------- UTSA 20 7:09 to go Roadrunners making us play faster than we want and Ivy-Curry is really putting on a show.

NT 21 ----------- UTSA 10 10:25 to go Playing well, but Scott with three early fouls.

NT 15 ----------- UTSA 9 11:43 to go Defense playing well...already forced the Roadrunners to have an extended drought. Hopefully it is one of a few.

NT 7 ----------- UTSA 5 15:50 to go Jones looks like he never left! Crowd filling in. All is right with the world.

Looks like a light turnout from the early TV imagery.

Rice is low key playing good ball right now.

Since we're not in contention for the regular season title, I guess it's not technically a "must win" but I do consider this one. We need some positive momentum to get started.

A five point lead with four minutes to go isn't much of a margin at all.

FAU beats SMU.

I don't recall the exact stat, but sometime near the end of last year they mentioned Perry's shooting percentage with under 2 minutes left in the game and it was crazy high (like 70% or something ridiculous like that). That's why he was so beloved. The whole "great players aren't always great, they're just great when they have to be" thing.

I doubt everyone comes back even though I wish most would. These days in college sports everyone transfers. That said, if this team had been healthy the last month or so, I really think we'd have at least two more wins, which would put us in the mix for the #2 seed depending on who we beat..

The squad definitely needs the break.
