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.

Sure.  Immediately accompanied by a "Thanks.  Bye"

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

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.

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!

      The Band

      Our oldest is in the Oklahoma State band. They seem to focus on the entertainment more than anything else. The last halftime show had them playing “Bye Bye Bye” by NSYNC. Their pregame is just the fight song, Oklahoma, and a stand tune. Then they wait around while special guests lead the in game chants. In game playing is fun. They play iron man, dies irae, stuff like that. They play off the DJ better than we do. There’s usually no playing over eachother, though it does happen. The quality is fine. They have a new director. Last years quality was lacking.

      Kicking has been bad, punting is average at best, and we allowed the onside kick against UTSA. Those are my main complaints. There's only about 25 teams (quick count) that have allowed a kickoff return for a TD and we're one of them. Special teams certainly wasn't a weapon this year which to me means it has the potential to be a problem. Regarding Morris being aggressive because the defense is bad, I just disagree. I'll refer to the Navy game last year going for it on 4th and goal on the first drive. It was game 5 of his tenure. He did it again on the first drive against Memphis last year. Two games we lost by 3 where he passed up the field goal attempt on the first drive of the game all within his first 7 games. If he didn't trust the defense that much 7 games in to his coaching career here but yet kept Caponi for year 2, that's a fireable offense on his own. Now to EM acting as an OC and not HC, this is his 6th year as a division 1 head coach. Are we really making this excuse for him? Honestly all of this makes me wish he'd get an OC job somewhere and leave.
