NT 29 -------- USF 21

 

6:31 to go

 

Crowd looks really good and is making some noise.

[Harry]

Gotta cover #2 better -  he’s a very good shooter.

[CMJ]

NT 31 -------- USF 31

 

3:12 to go

 

Our nice eleven point lead has evaporated.

[GMG24]

Quit trying to pound the ball inside.  Crap

[CMJ]

NT 33 -------- USF 31

 

Half

 

Okay.....we just have to play our game in the 2nd and I think we force a third game.

[FirefightnRick]

Refs must have been told by CBI officials to swallow their whistles on anything near the lash.  As if their bigs needed help?

NT 43 -------- USF 31

Our largest lead of the night.....hopefully we can hold it this time!!

With Ferrari out USF looks completely lost on offense.  If he doesn't come back soon, we may have this one in the bag.  He really makes their offense go.

True but our run started before his injury. His injury made this run easier now

Our defense and rebounding is controlling this game. Love it. Thankfully Simmons is alright. 

51-38. We need to play our game and we will have this in the bag.

Just play calm, don't make mistakes...and we'll be playing Friday for a sweet trophy.

Official attendance: 4196.

And the team loves it.

What's the story with Holston?  Is he injured?

[UNTLifer]

They have MacCasland wired for the game.  Love him in the huddle with the players. Every time he addresses a player he starts with a positive comment. Same when addressing the team. Just feeds their confidence while giving instruction.

When's the last time we had over 4,000 for a game?

[CMJ]

NT 63 -------- USF 48

 

4:35 to go

 

Just run that clock and live to fight another day.

[UNTLifer]

Up 15 and shooting 12.5% from the three point line. Never thought that would happen, but we are way more athletic than they are. 

Our defense is playing lights out. 

[UNTLifer]

There you go Simmons!  

[CMJ]

NT 65 -------- USF 50

 

2:53 to go

 

We are 2 of 18 from behind the arc and ahead by 15.

I was looking at percentage shooting and wondering, we must be crushing them on the boards and/or stealing every other possession.

[Matt from A700]

What a run these past few weeks. When I found out we were invited to the CBI after losing seven of our last eight games, I thought, why waste the travel money on a sure-loss in Vermillion, South Dakota. But wow. Now we have a chance for our first 20-win season in seven years. Friday will be wild!

Tech?  Creighton?

And our shortest starter, Duffy, is our leading rebounder with 8. Team is out boarding USF by 13 at this point.
