When was the last time you've seen this many students?

NT 69 -------- USF 55

 

Final

[UNTLifer]

Another great stat is we only have 3 turnovers tonight. We are actually shooting a lower percentage than them from the field but have taken 20 more shots due to the number of steals and out boarding them by double digits. Oh, and we have only missed two FT's.

Nice!

[CMJ]

I tend to think Game 3 will be closer because USF will go back to the drawing board.  However, I doubt we shoot that poorly again.

 

We'll see how it goes, but that was a tremendous win in front of a lively crowd.

hell yes Mean Green!!! We are playing basketball on March 30th... let that sink in!

I can't imagine Smart shooting 1-9 from 3 again.

That would be Pit Crew days during JJ era, which I was a proud member of while a student there.

Great win! We're on track to win this thing.  We must fix that 3-point shooting percentage to keep USF honest and I think that trophy will stay in Denton.

[CMJ]

Props to the crowd.  The TV analysts made mention of the Super Pit atmosphere at least five times.

Congrats Mean Green.  I wish we could have joined you still playing.  I enjoyed our run.  I’ve enjoyed your run as well.  Great job forcing game 3.  Unbelievable what your coach has done after a tough end to the season.  

[edcollopy]

I hope Good Friday and Easter weekend doesn’t send too many students home.  

[Ben Gooding]

Fun environment tonight. Can't wait until Friday. 

[Green P1]

Thier big man took a clean elbow to the nose and they folded like a cheap lawn chair.   Start Fuller on Friday.

San Francisco has scored 81 points in the last three halves of basketball. I think we have a decent handle on their offense at this point. Teams know each other very well at this point. Who is gonna execute better when the other team knows what you're doing?

Teams always make adjustments in playoff series though, and the team that lost tends to make more.  Obviously this is from other sports that actually HAVE series more regularly (NBA, MLB, NHL, etc)

Exactly.  They’ve really had no answer for our halftime adjustments game 1.

Feel like we should start a gofundme and have a GMG sponsored tailgate/pregame party to feed students for them to go to the game!

I cannot make it due to some conflicts.  Excited to see what the turnout is.  If it goes to game 3, I WILL be taking off work early to head to Denton!
