We are really struggling to score.

McCasland's jacket is off early. This is serious.

[Andrew]

Giving up open shots, missing free throws, and playing everyone off the bench. Not a winning strategy, but we can turn it around.

Tied at 28 with 3:49 in the half. Lawdy mercy. RGV is chasing down every rebound and getting most of them.

Every time I think we may really go on a run and blow it open, it doesn't happen.

Kinda getting nervous now, gotta say.

 

[RushnStudies]

Me too. Looking scattered again.

UNT website says CUSA TV, but nothing there. Is the game being shown on internet/TV?

Checking in with the evening's ladies' room report. Still smells like the downtown bus station restroom. In some things, we are consistent.

Do you mean the Greyhound bus station in Edinburg, TX...in 1963?

I meant the one in Dallas, but if you believe your comparison is accurate, I'm happy to run with it.

Under 8 media timeout

 

 

Nervousness has become worry.

 

[RushnStudies]

Throwing up 3's and missing them by a mile, getting called for bad fouls and nonexistent fouls... this is going south very quickly.  65-54 RGV with 4:06 left.

[diehardUNTfan]

We actually about to lose to University of Texas Rio Grande Valley 🤦🏻‍♂️😭

Worry degenerated into panic.  They are on a 27-6 run!

 

[RushnStudies]

T/O MG at 2:25. We're down 68-56.

[RushnStudies]

Wow. I feel ill. 70-58 them with 53.6 left. And apparently the refs are looking to see if the foul they just called on AJ is flagrant...?

 

Never mind. I guess they decided it wasn't.

Who’s got the dumpster fire meme ready?

Final

 

 

I have to admit, I really did not think we were gonna lose this one.  Tough pill to swallow.  Only reason I am not busting out the dumpster fire is because Coach has not been here long enough for me to justify it.
