San Diego (12/16/17)

[outoftown]

UNT up 3, and Lawson at the line with 12 secs to go.

Up 2, 4 secs to go, draper at the line makes 1. USD takes timeout to move it.

I cannot believe we fouled there. That's just undisciplined.

Stupid to take the ball out of Woolridge's hands for a one on one for Smart. The metroplex kids are killing UNT

Smart is a WAAAAYYYYY better free throw shooter

And is on fire this game. Wooldridge is better driver but hasn't proven he can make free throws in pressure situations.

[Hunter Green]

NT WINS!

[DeepGreen]

Good road win.

[ChristopherRyanWilkes]

Fantastic win. San Diego was 8-2 and 59th in RPI rankings coming into this game. Winning on the road too. We are going to shock some people this season. 

[outoftown]

Light the tower. Bizarre ending, but all is well that ends well. That said these eternal reviews are bad for the game experience, just like the tons of fouls called on everyone and everything.

[diehardUNTfan]

Good lord we need to work on our imbounding.

[BillySee58]

Holston needs to not be the inbounds man on key plays anymore but hey, big-time win.

Gotta be our biggest win since A&M back on New Year's Eve 2013.

Definitely a good win. First game I saw in full in a while, and feels like McCasland has them in the right direction, properly competitive.

You take away our one lose at home earlier this season and we have competed in every game. We are doing this now with essentially 8 scholarship players and a walk-on. With only one senior we have a bright future. 

[UNTFan23]

Took extra minutes but first road win of the season. 

[RiseUNT]

The games I've watched we are better than we have been the last 5 years combined.

Which were both good wins because of the names they beat. Not very good years for either team. 

[UNTX]

Excellent win!

Right. As of now, San Diego is a more quality team than either of those squads.

The difference in this one was it’s been building. Game on game, moment on moment. It’s not some random upset. It was going to happen as this team is just getting better 

[Greendylan]

Great win!  This team is really starting to come together.

Smart is averaging 18.1 a game as a sophomore.

Watson averaged 15.7 as a senior, and his next highest season average for his career was 11.3.

If Smart keeps his average where it is at, he is in a class as a perimeter scorer at this stage in his career with Chris Davis and that's about it. At least as far back as I can see.

Absolutely. I wasn't as confident we'd win this one as you were, but I definitely would've been shocked to see this one be anything but competitive until the last few minutes.

Agreed. Didn't get to watch the game as I had to go to work and am at work now but every game I've been able to watch has been better than the one before. During the Benford regime it never seemed like the team would get any better from one week to the next. Not the case with this staff. Love it!
