Delaware State (12/8/16)

Matt from A700 · December 8, 2016

Not sure how many opposing fans DSU will attract. They're 2-7 but one win is over St. John's, who is also having a terrible year.

Jeremy Combs is back in the starting lineup for this one. He was the only sign of life we had against UTA.

Come out and support the Mean Green get to 5-4!

I will be there...

Army of Dad · December 8, 2016

I'll be there.

@CMJ are you going to be able to listen?

UNTFan23 · December 8, 2016

I'll be there of course. I'd like to see this team beat someone with a winning record though.

Andrew · December 8, 2016

My wife is making me go to a Christmas party ?

Ha! Maybe to the second half. Not sure as of yet.

Looks the Athletic Department is trying to get students out to the game by giving attendees first shot at the $20 HoD tickets. It's worth a shot and I applaud the effort.

I would be interested to know how many purchase tickets and of those who do, how many stay for at least part of the game...

I'll be purchasing my ticket(s) tonight, stand and yell for the entire game, and continue to wonder why I am not thrown a T-shirt.

I have season tickets and attend as regularly as army of dad if not more regularly. Been going since maybe 94-96 range so I have seen good and bad and always been around. ?

Matt from A700 · December 9, 2016

Under 10 to too and it's still pretty empty. May be more students than family/other fans. MIGHT be 200 here.

Army of Dad · December 9, 2016

Starters are Combs, Holston, Deckie, Ricky, & Reese.

D St is overmatched so far. 10-2 UNT. Only really bad thing is Beice got two quick fouls. 15:39.

Matt from A700 · December 9, 2016

UNT with probably their best start all year. 10-2 with 15:39 to go.

Andrew · December 9, 2016

Apparently the refs want to even it up by tossing out crazy fouls to Brice and Combs to bench them...

Best start of Benfords tenure

17-2 good guys!

Just let them shoot the ball Benford and run man to stop the three from opposing teams. We will win!

Army of Dad · December 9, 2016

Mean Green still in control. 17-4, 11:43.

Disorganized segment and they take advantage. UNT ahead only 17-14; 7:16.

Opened up a 24-19 lead before the final media TO. 3:38 before the dancers come back out.

32-21 North Texas at the half.

Army of Dad · December 9, 2016

We've been pressing this half to some effect. Now lead 40-23; 15:48.

Not much happening. 44-23; 11:44.

Edited December 9, 2016 by Army of Dad

Army of Dad · December 9, 2016

I'd like to say it's stellar defense, but I'm not sure. It's equally likely they're just that bad. (I think they tried to double dribble and messed that up on their last possession)

UNT up 57-26; 7:34.

Walk ins are in the game and we have over 5 minutes left

Draper picks up the loose ball and takes it to the hole for the hoop and the harm. Crowd goes crazy.

68-34; 3:45 and Draper at the line.

Light the tower. 73-40 is the final.

CMJ · December 9, 2016

Thanks guys!

Remember the days when we used to have 3-4 thousand on average for any game?? Ouch.

I sure do. I was in a PhD program from 2005 to 2010 and then a post-doc year in 2011. It was joy to watch the program grow into a regular 20+ win team with regular NCAA tourney appearances...and 4000+ in attendance at its peak with even more with a quality P5 opponent. My daughter and I probably missed 10 games total from 2005 to 2011. We were pit crew all the way with the crazy green hair, t-shirts, etc. I thought when I moved from Denton that our bball program was all set, and I was proud of the minor role we played in the team's success via our consistent attendance and support. So sad to see where it is now.

Any chance with a change of leadership you'll rejoin?

With a home oc selected for easy wins, NT finally actually dominated one. Bright spots for me were Combs looking like the pre-injury player, another strong game for freshman Lawson and easily the best offensive game ever for Holston plus good effort and results by Tamara. Concerning factors in this game include continued slump by Johnson and overall awful and unnecessary 3 point shooting.

Gonna have to disagree with you on the bolded part. Combs did not look like his old self. He had at least two attempts in the paint where he had(or possibly chose) to try a layup instead of finishing at the rim. IMO, he's still not 100%.
