La Tech (2/23/17)

[Army of Dad]

La Tech is top of the conference good. We need a miracle to even qualify for the conference tournament.

The evaluation of Tony Benford continues...

in comparison to other games in the history of Western Civilization... how important would you say this game is?

Least.

10 point dogs to the Dogs.

I have tried to stay away for about the last month to show my disapproval in the "Aint's" style.

 

I may listen, but probably not.

[Andrew]

Bringing a buddy to the game so hopefully it will be a good one. :)

Well, this should (presumably) mark the final time I will attend a Benford-led Mean Green game.  For the sake of our players, I would love to see this bleak era end on a nice note with a string of wins.  

[Andrew]

11 players with 3.0 or higher GPAS! That's a huge win for Benford. We use to barley have one... Congrats to the guys who achieved this accomplishment! 

[Army of Dad]

Starters are Woolridge, Derail, Reese, Temera, and Lawson.

Game is moving quickly. Tied at 10; 15:54. Lawson powering us on the offensive end.

[Army of Dad]

Only one foul called so far, total.

La Tech up 18-17; 11:05.

UNT ahead 23-20 with Lawson going to the line after being fouled to deny an alley oop dunk. 7:40

[Army of Dad]

La Tech is being sloppy, but for a change we are taking advantage of it pushing the lead out to 29-22; 3:34.

[Army of Dad]

And the lead evaporated. We go into halftime tied at 32.

Benford got his in before halftime, which might be why we keep him around. 

[Andrew]

Well my buddy is about to go down and swap his shirt haha! He went to Arkansas.... this will be a story for work haha.

Tech still adjusting now leads 46-41; 15:35.

I salute you for these updates, and even more for your consistent attendance. Better man than I.

Ladies lost :( Win streak ends at 5.

[Army of Dad]

Still trying to keep within 30 of the doggies. LT up 85-60; 3:01.

51.7 left, tech TO. Still getting crushed in our building.

[meanrob]

Given up 53 pts in the second half with three mins to go. 

[Army of Dad]

85-67 is the final.

Light the dumpster.

[meanrob]

If only we had a place to practice indoors......

 

 

[EagleMBA]

Both FUs LOST, Charlotte WON, Southern Miss LOST in OT. I think we can only make the tournament now IF we win out (we could still catch FAU if they lose the rest because we own the tie-breaker) or IF Southern Miss loses to us on Saturday, then the rest of their schedule.

Conference Records After Tonight:

FAU 5 - 11; SoMiss 5 - 11; UNT 2 - 13; FIU 2 - 13. 

I'm ready for the North Korean hanky trick!
