We have really cleaned up on turnovers and shooting has been fantastic so far. McCasland's strategy of slowing down the pace has seemed to really frustrate OU.

I must apologize everyone....things turned south shortly after I tuned in.  Still hanging around though.

Man we are hanging in there. Surprised how quiet this thread is still--we were 29 point dogs in this one...

Everyone's too busy bitching about going to a bowl game.

[ChristopherRyanWilkes]

Moral victory. Light the tower.

Final

[EagleMBA]

Excellent effort, better than the final score is going to indicate.

Close only counts in this game:

[Mean_Green09]

Ryan Woolridge was the 2nd best player on the floor tonight behind Trae Young. He played a really good game. 

[Wookies]

Coaching gem by McCasland, we just had no answer for Young. I've not seen a better freshman yet this year.

[BillySee58]

Trae Young is a dang cheat code.

Glad to see Duffy and Simmons have strong second halves. Duffy is now 7-12 from three since his 2-9 effort against UTRGV, and has scored double digits in two straight games. We really need that going forward, as he is currently our only scoring option off the bench. He didn't get to fully participate in practice before we started playing games, so it looks like he is starting to get settled in.

And Simmons is now up to 75% shooting on the year. Just need him to figure out how to stay out of foul trouble. Common issue for a freshman big.

Also, Woolridge is going to get a triple double at some point.

Great effort, but NT has to get another gear late in the game when they get down.  

Young was unstoppable, without him I think NT wins going away.

I can't believe the announcers on that game, they had minutes were they didn't even mention what was going on in the game.  I can't believe even OU fans want to hear about old times when a live game is going on. 

This NT team continues to jell, they are going to surprise a lot of CUSA teams. 

[FirefightnRick]

Sounds like the future is bright for our program.

The team is definitely making great progress. Would like to see them steal some road games in nonconference. Will it be UTA this Saturday?

Really hope so!  I'll be there.  GMG
