Louisiana Tech (1/18/18)

[GangGreen]

Is Smart fun to watch or what?

LA Tech 45 ------------ NT 42

 

 

11:52 to go

 

 

Took awhile to regain the lead, but shortly thereafter gave it back.

[BillySee58]

Stadium broadcast quality is great, but the camera always zooms in on the free throw shooter and you don't get to see if the shot goes in on like 80% of the free throw attempts

[Harry]

Lawson can't buy a bucket.  Needs to stop shooting.

[BillySee58]

Smart has gotta get hot here. 29% shooting from him isn't gonna cut it if we want to win

[BillySee58]

Team is:

33.9% from the field

29.6% from three

37.5% from the free throw line

This is division one basketball. You gotta be able to make semi-tough shots and free throws

A freakin one handed three by Smart this dude is unreal

This team deserves more fans in the pit..

[Mean Green Matt]

Terrible call

[Harry]

Why did Lawson foul?  ugh....  make em take a damn shot at least don't send them to the line....

[UNTLifer]

Bad loss.  Should have won that game.

Lawson was there right in front of him outside of the restricted area.

There's a thread for this.

He was late. Replay showed that

[greenminer]

Tough pill.

[Shark84]

If he doesn't foul him, probably a layup. Not sure if the clock runs out before he can get the shot off. Great effort.

[MeanGreen13]

It feels like we are just one or two players away... like healthy Lawson plus one more contributor and we are winning all these close games. 

[Shark84]

Getting Gibson back next year with Lawson healthy and Simmons a year older will make this team one of the best in Conference USA. Still need to get better at the free throw line!

That's not really what I saw but I'm susceptible to having green goggles every so often 

[Mean Green Matt]

With how short handed La Tech was this isn't a good loss. 

[GrandGreen]

NT is short handed, but La Tech beat NT with two freshman dominating the game. 

[Matt from A700]

Only six points would separate us between a 6-0 conference record right now.

Meh, I wouldn't categorize it as a bad loss. 7.5 dogs going into the game. La Tech's dropped a couple at home this year but they are 55-6 in their last 61 home games coming into the game. May be the best home team in CUSA. We made some bonehead plays down the stretch. It's been our achilles heel all season but we continue to battle and get better. Put it this way, La Tech is better than UTEP, UTSA and Rice. So it's the best road conference team we've played and we lost in the last 2 seconds of the game.
