Mercer (3/19/18)

NT 47 ------ Mercer 31

 

Halftime

 

 

Well...that was a lot of fun!

[Matt from A700]

Love the way we're playing and love how much the crowd is into the game!

[FirefightnRick]

Good crowd.

 

The CBI has to be pleased.

[CMJ]

It's tough to tell just from TV crowd shots, but I'd guess 1500-2Kish?

[Andrew]

Fun fact. If smart keeps up this scoring pace for his final two seasons he will go down as the fourth leading scorer in school history and he will do it in 3 years! This guy is special!

 Will Smart become my favorite player over Calvin Watson?

Smart has now passed Chris Davis' 01-02 season to move into 3rd most points scored in a single season in North Texas history. Also, he's only 12 threes away from moving into top 10 in NT history for CAREER threes made.

As of now, his pace would put him at 4th. He'd have to average 710 points a season to catch Ratliff at 3. He's at 656 on the year. But depending on how far we go, that could go up quite a bit with the finals being best 2 of 3.

Crowd looks pretty good on ESPN3, but quiet. The Super Pit should be rocking!  What a half.

Duffy is lighting it up with 23.

We're playing good basketball at the right time of the year.  Duffy finally looks healthy. 

[James]

I'm hype right now.

I could really learn to not like this Mercer coach.  What a whiner.

Old grumpy gus needed to hit up Denton Thrift and grab a sports coat.

Draper just 2-14 on threes in the last four games. Really hope he can get back in a rythym. Good thing is he isn't taking many bad shots.

If we could get Tim "THE WET BLANKET" Crouch to let an after-big-play timeout euphoria play out before announcing the latest Denton garage sale....it would.

The deeper we go into the post season the better. Passing White would be huge because he was a four year player and Smart would have one less year. 

He is  also one bucket away from passing Davis for fourth most points in a season I believe.

Yup. Passed Davis before halftime

Need Rob Coffey!

[UNTLifer]

We need to keep the pedal down and play smart. Don't let them get within ten the rest of the way.

Bears trying to get back into it.  Cut our lead to fourteen briefly.

[UNTLifer]

That was a crap call in an otherwise well called game. These aren't CUSA officials, are they?

[UNTLifer]

Nice run into the TO. Really playing well. Love this and it is great to see the team having fun. 

[GMG24]

Ryan Woolridge will be drafted rather highly if he can get and maintain a good jump shot.  He's got Russell Westbrook speed.  Holy crap! 

[James]

This is an enjoyable game. Easy as that.

The only thing that could have gone better tonight was attendance...and even that wasn't too bad.  Man, this is great.

[TreeFiddy]

Maybe Woolridge is shooting free throws with the wrong hand.
