FAU game

[GrandGreen]

NT played very good first half, lead 35-24.  Good half by Tamara and Woolridge.   

Of course, NT has played well in a lot of first halves, and than crumble in the second.

Should UNT come away with a win over FAU, our first conference win this season, should we give Benford another extension?

Twenty years.  Minimum.

Sure.  Immediately accompanied by a "Thanks.  Bye"

[GrandGreen]

Well, it took a little over 7 minutes to lose the lead.

Just too bad it couldn't come at the Pit so the dozen students in the Pit Crew could rush the court.

Typical second half play... we need to swap coaches at half. Benford can get a lead or keep it close but never close a game out... ?

Agree.

Good game, NT 61-57 with a little over 3 minutes to go.

Happy days are here again.   First conference win.

3 games out of 12th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[oldguystudent]

Oh shit!  They won a game!  70-64!  Next up, fellow CUSA cellar dweller FIU.  This could be a HUGE win streak!  Can they?  Will they?

Light the tower.  Nice win.  Good to get the monkey off their back.

[Matt from A700]

Draft up those extension papers!!

[GrandGreen]

Happy for the players.   Reese had a great second half.   Another good game for Tamara.  Solid game by freshmen: Lawson and Woolridge.  

[outoftown]

Happy for the players. Since at this point Benford is not gonna get fired or extended, we may as well root for the players to have a few happy moments and make UNT look less bad.

Basketball tower is shining Green!

Well damn...

[outoftown]

Women win too, doing what a decent team should do to FAU: dominate (79-57). That is now two wins in a row, now 5-6 in conference and starting to look fairly ggod for making the conference tournament, maybe even an okish seed.

[GrandGreen]

Rare night, both teams win.  Girls 79-58 over FAU.  FAU winless in conference, but NT men showed that can be changed.   

Aside, really like the NT WBB radio team; big improvement.  

[southsideguy]

worth at least a two year contract extension.

Benford is only about 4.5 years away from havig his own team. Let's give him a chance.

Dominate? I attended the game, and while the final score appears that UNT dominated they actually did no such thing...the game was definitely in doubt at half (3-5 point lead for UNT) and it wasn't under control until the last 2/3rds of the 4th quarter. Way way too many turnovers and some early poor shooting by UNT allowed a pretty poor FAU team to hang around.  Now, that being said...this Jalie Mitchell team never quits and never seems out of a game...even when playing a tad poorly early.  They just hang in and find a way to win.  A sign of a good team is one that beats a team they should beat even when playing not up to the top of their game.  This was tonight and may have been a bit expected...playing a team with a bottom feeder record when coming off a big comeback road win in their last game.  So, yes, you are exactly right...they did what they should have done...but, dominate...not so much.  I think we might just see that dominate win by the ladies Saturday over FIU.  Ladies seem to be getting it together, in spite of some injury issues, just at the right time as the conference tourney looms.  Ladies looking good to make the tournament any be the team that no other team really wants to play.

Congrats to both the women and men tonight.  Light that tower double green!
