Marshall only beat rice by four points. 94-90. UAB is going to just walk away with the conference title.

Crunch time now. Close enough to be doable.

This could be one of those games where our poor free throw shooting costs us a game.

Andrew · January 17, 2016

Fuller couldn't look any more disinterested on the bench. He needs to cheer on the team. He is a big boy who gets pushed around. He needs to step it up!

15 out of 26 (57.6%) on free throw shooting. It certainly hurt us towards the end of the game.

Fun fact, North Texas was coming into tonight's game #350 out of 351 Div 1 schools.

Whoever gives out the negatives please come and play in the GMG. Coward.

Not following the correlation?

Clearly they think they "know something" about basketball by trashing. Only problem is they don't actually reply with a reasonable response. Most likely because they have non. Maybe face to face on the court they can demonstrate this "knowledge". I am by no means an expert, but some of the things said on here are ridiculous.

Ya, you do say some ridiculous stuff.

You may want to change your original call out to "cowards"...I'm sure there are multiple people that give you negatives...

See ya in a few weeks on the court...

A coward is a person who lacks the courage to do follow through with things. I made a comment about Fuller's attitude on the bench and somebody clearly disagreed. You disagree then make a counter point. Otherwise then yes, people who bash something but don't make themselves and their opinions know are cowards. That's the defintion. If somebody want to tell me how they were at the game and they though Fuller was all smiles and excited to play then say it. Don't sit and hit a button on a keyboard just for the sake of hitting a button. Make you point known. My guess is at least half the people were not at the game and no room to have an opinion on that comment.

Another very winnable game down the tubes. I thought depth was a plus for this team, but not now. You can't overcome bad defense and poor free throw shooting in the same game.

NT has three experienced dependable players in Johnson, Reese and Combs. The freshmen show some promise, but none are really ready. The upperclassmen backup guards are all very limited. Benford is a coach IMO that has to rely on superior talent and it just is not there.

KRAM1 · January 17, 2016

Free throws. Hit 'Em UNT wins this game. UNT didn't...less than 60% from the line. UNT lost. End of story. AGAIN!

The bench was out scored something like 54-7. Holston and Fullwr have gone from starters to bench warmers who struggle to contribute.

How about White-Pittman? Didn't he foul out with something like 1point....after missing four straight free throws! Bandage on hand or not...that is not good.

And yet potentially losing them is a reason you don't want to part ways with a coach who can't run a successful program?

That was Ward. He had a three point shot but wouldn't pull the trigger at all tonight. Maybe Pittman fouled out to but I cannot remember.

I don't want to lose Combs, Brown, and Brice. Reese and Johnson will stay as seniors. I also like Lawson and don't want to risk losing him. Fuller had been a major disappointmentband Holston has show flashes of being good, but nothing lately. I do like his length and athleticism though. Fuller could go.

The only players to foul out were Brown and Ward.

THOR · January 17, 2016

I wasn't at the game...I listened to the debacle of free throw shooting in the comforts of my home with beer...lots and lots of beer ..but yes, I do give you negatives andrew...not for the one your referenced though because, like you said, I didn't see the look on his face or how he was acting...you get negatives for other reasons...

Reputation points are like Fight Club. Rule #1, don't talk about negative rep. Rule #2, don't talk about negative rep.

etc...

Pints, points; drink enough beer and it's close enough.

That's fine and all but have an opinion and voice it. Sometimes I agree with NT90 and Emmitt and sometimes I do not, but at least they back their opinions up. If they disagree with a post they state why.
