Rice (2/3/18)

[RushnStudies]

Crap. Ryan just wiped out under our basket and is holding his elbow.

[CMJ]

Feels like we escaped that segment lucky being down just 45-40.

[RushnStudies]

Okay, he's on the bench, so maybe it's not as bad as it originally looked.

[RushnStudies]

Never mind. He's back in.

[RushnStudies]

We keep making really strange shot attempts. We've gotten some fouls off them, but still, just strange tries.

[RushnStudies]

Allante with a nice jam. U mad bro?

[CMJ]

Rice 57 --------------------- NT 51

 

 

7:51 to go

 

Roof felt like it was about to cave in for a minute there.

[RushnStudies]

57-51 Owls at 7:51. 

[RushnStudies]

We're on a roll. Tied at 60 at 4:29. 

[RBTX]

Giving Rice too much space on all those 3's and forcing a 3 on our end doesn't help.

[RushnStudies]

Jeeeeeeez. More baseline foul calls.

[RushnStudies]

DJ with some clutch 3's. 69-67 MG with 1:23 left.

[RushnStudies]

71-70 MG with 37.3. Owl ball.

[RushnStudies]

Traveling! MG ball. DJ fouled at 18.9.

[RushnStudies]

73-70 MG. Just used our last timeout at 12.2.

[RushnStudies]

Light the tower! 74-70 MG.

[CMJ]

 

NT 74 --------------------- Rice 70

 

 

Final

 

 

[oldguystudent]

You guys are welcome.  I was watching on ESPN3 and the Mean Green kept falling behind.  I know how this works.  I can't witness wins.  So I turned it off, knowing that if I wasn't watching, they would come back for the victory. 

[Ben Gooding]

Good win. 

Good - 

We lose that game 4 of 5 over the previous 5 years, vs a 5-18 team or not.  

Smart is a baller. 

Draper is a stud that needs to trust his skills more. 

Alston had his game of the year. 

Bad - 

At times, too much standing around on O. 

Slow/lazy rotation on inside defense when the ball gets inside the paint. 

 

 

*I only choose to find room to complain because if we play like this the next 4 games we'll lose them all by 10+. 

[GrandGreen]

It appears it doesn't matter who NT plays in conference, it is going to be close.   Hope that holds true as the schedule is about to get a lot tougher. 

One of Holstons' best games.

This is not the first time this conference season that the Talons have not had their representatives in the student section. What's going on?

UNT person said Wren did away with a designated student section. Basically students sit where they want. Don't understand the logic behind it.

This is a problem. There is no longer an identity to the student section. The Pit Crew from the JJ era (which died a quick but painful death under Tony Benford) gave the students something to be a a part of. It was a somewhat cohesive unit. There needs to be a concerted effort to bring that back and once you do, I think the student attendance numbers themselves will grow.

It is not just students, i got up at half time to get a drink and when i cam back so older guy was sitting in my seat.

After watching game last night i have decided the NCAA has ruined basketball.  The fouls that are called now are just pathetic.  Rice got them and we got them. NCAA might as well put skirts on the players and not keep score and hand out participation trophies at the end of the season.

I wante to watch a basketball game and not the guys in the zebra suits.
