Florida International (2/22/18)

[CMJ]

This is kind of a must win if we wanna get the season back under control.

[Matt from A700]

These next four games are all winnable. We should be heading into the conference tournament with momentum on our side.

[Mean Green Matt]

Hopefully the team did not get discouraged by the last three games. If their spirits are up we are certainly capable of winning out, though given the way the season has gone every game will probably be a nail biter.

Would be huge if we could win out.

Is there any reason we should not win out?

This FL trip isn't as easy as it seems. We arent favored to win this game.

I can give you two reasons...

1. Turnovers

2. Free throw shooting

Both those are coaching, I guess next question is how do we like the coaching staff at this point? Has there been progress over the season?  I have not really followed just check in once in a while.

In these areas there have been minimal if any improvement. 

However, I think this staff and GM has gotten this team to play with enthusiasm and the will to win .

So, yes, I like this staff. There is no reason not to right now. I think a 20-win season is sitting on the docket next year.

FIU 11 ------- NT 6

 

15:12 to go

 

 

Things off to a rough start defensively.

[CMJ]

FIU 18 ------- NT 9

 

11:52 to go

 

 

Definitely things not looking good so far.  I am gonna have to take off soon, but hopefully I can be back to listen to the end.  GMG

[outoftown]

I am trying to also watch the womens game, anybody have an idea why that one is not on BeIn as said on UNTs website?

[GrandGreen]

NT looks totally uninterested to this point.  

[Shark84]

Hope Simmons knee isn't something that will keep him out more than a game or two.

[Shark84]

We just need to hang around. They won't shoot 67 percent the whole game. What's up with their court markings?

[outoftown]

UNT 36 FIU 35 at the half. UNTs first lead of the game came right at the halftime buzzer with a very casual 3

UNT finished on a really nice run.

Playing much better now, still some bad defense.   Nice to see Temara back and contributing.

It seems NT never starts well, and has to fight to make up an early deficit. 

[Shark84]

Welcome back Shane Temara!

[BillySee58]

Great end to the half! Duffy and Temara with the last 10 points. Those two guys are probably the two of the biggest X factors we have because of what they can bring us offensively. If they're scoring, we become a much better team

[BillySee58]

Lawson is really hurting us tonight. 1-6 from the field and 0-2 from the free throw line

[BillySee58]

Arikawe and Duffy both missing from point blank 😞

[outoftown]

Typical UNT 68 -68 with 22 secs to go. Women also battling back at the very end and in a nailbiter with 5 minutes to go.

[GrandGreen]

Horrible foul call on Lawson.   That was definitely a charge. 

[BillySee58]

Not sure who I'm more upset with. Lawson for doing that in another late game situation (like La Tech) after being awful all game, or the refs for calling everything a foul on us tonight

[outoftown]

Ouch
