Maybe we can get this under twenty.  The power of positive thinking?

Maybe we can hold them under 100?

Not sure why I am even still listening to this.

Wonder how many more bad losses Benford has in the bank...

Less than RV. I'm starting to have little doubt in my mind that RV is allowed to make the next basketball hire.

Well, welcome to the next UNT disaster.

Might lose by less than 20!

By far the highlight has been the band singing and doing the chicken dance while Marshall shoot free throws in the 2nd half.

Far too many FTs.

They definitely don't have any quit in them.

Benforded. #Thanks RV!

Glad I didn't waste the gas to go to denton for that crap fest of a game... still haven't attended a BB game this season...might be my first season I don't make one... maybe WKU, but unfortunately that is it. Thanks Benford....

Surprised we fought back to hold Marshal under 100 and close the gap to 19. With the awful start and being down what (37 points) and no Deckie we finished the game better than I thought. 2-2 in conference is not awful. With this weak conference we could still make a run. 

[UNT90]

I've been to one, and it was at UTA. I'm glad I went, because UTA had an entertaining product and a future NBA player on the roster. 

Thanks Rick Villarreal.

NT played horrible, but this Marshall team could have beat most teams tonight.  Usual great effort from Combs. No excuse for a defense to be this bad.

The thing that struck me when I cared enough to look was that we had the same record coming into this game.  The difference in competition faced by Marshall accounted for their superiority.

Could this be Benford's "Portland State ?"

[GangGreen]

Benturd's Portland State was Alabama Huntsville. 

[foutsrouts]

I have to wonder if Benford could turn the Warriors into the 76'ers within a month. Sadly, I'm only slightly joking.

LOL!  Marshall did everything possible to not score 100 points.  If you look at the stat sheet, they played everyone.  It was hardly our "defense" battling back.  This team still has yet to beat anyone with a winning record and I will be shocked if it were to happen.

Who cares. I don't get why people whine so much. My life has significance outside of a UNT win. Basketball is by far the best sport and UNT is my home. Since I was very young I loved going to the pit and it won't stop. We never win a game the rest of the season and I will still show up and enjoy myself. Winning games just makes it that much better. It was fun being at the pit tonight and most of the game was enjoyable.

If that's how you feel, you will end up being the only one left at the games.  No one likes losing.

I care. I don't want to be associated with a school that sucks at everything. Meanwhile, crickets are coming out of Smatresk's office. Spineless.

I enjoy winning, but losing games isn't going to keep me from going to games. I want them to win, because the players work hard. I know they hate losing, but they also hate people bashing the team or not showing up to games.
