I got this game on TV. North Texas is showing a ton of road grit. GMG FINISH!!!

Ben Gooding · February 6, 2015

Well, that sucks. 9-0 run by WKU. 63-59 1:08 to go UNT ball

Andrew · February 6, 2015

Well we played hard but came up short. You have to give the guys props for playing well in a tough place to play on the road.

Harry · February 6, 2015

Good effort just couldn't close the deal.

Final

I'm not one to celebrate moral victories. That said, because of the great effort tonight I'm not posting a dumpster fire image.

THOR · February 6, 2015

Beat the spread!

Andrew explanation of why this is a sign of Benford improving in 3...2...1...

Mean Green Matt · February 6, 2015

CMJ, the dumpster fire image might be appropriate in the 90 feet of heat thread tonight...

Andrew · February 6, 2015

Andrew explanation of why this is a sign of Benford improving in 3...2...1...

He is 9-12. At this point improving will be difficult. .500 or higher and he will not have improved. We lost. We lose by 20 or by 5 we still lost. We hustled and the guys played well.

Ben Gooding · February 6, 2015

Man-to-man got us back in the game for Benford to switch to zone to lose the game down the stretch.

Also, 30+ seconds to go in the game and WKU called a TO with 12 seconds on the shot clock. So it's apparent Benford is choosing not to foul but then doesn't put our best rebounder in the game (combs) coming out of the WKU TO. WKU got 2 offensive rebounds on that possession that ended up being a score that all but sealed the game. I understand Combs isn't a shooter and we're down by 4, but we are choosing to play D and we had to have a rebound. This is nitpicking, I know, but bball is a nitpicked sport. If the small things aren't done right, you lose.

Still don't understand going back to zone when the situational game play was screaming to stick with man. Smh. Great game to watch though. And, again, Combs is going to be a stud. Staff has to get his FT% way up, hopefully the next staff can.
