That was a prehistoric moth

Arikawe hurt....as if the team wasn't in depth trouble already.

A lineup of Simmons, Simmons, Smart, Gibson and Woolridge could be scary

haha I was like that was the biggest moth I have ever seen.  Looked like a bat!

Frustrating foul call there that led to a three when it should have been our ball. 

This is the first time I am getting to see this team play and boy are they quick and the ball movment is near perfect. A few bad plays here or there, but this team looks like it has great chemistry and great athleticism.  Excited to see what we can do with a healthy Arikawe, Muhammed, and Smart.

Don’t forget Muhammed and Miller who can both ball out as well. Throw in Arikawe for a little muscle and we have a solid ten guys.

Did I miss something.  Where is the Russian kid we brought in?  I thought he redshirted last year and would be suiting up this year.

Don't know. He played on Friday, but not yesterday.

We really have a lot of potential.  This is a very good team.

he's there just hard to get minutes on this squad.  They are deep.

Grant said he is playing sparse minutes because it’s been a long time since he has played competitively and he isn’t use to the grind yet. He said he can shoot, but needs to get use to bumping bodies.

I’m hoping we can redshirt all three freshman and run with the rest.

That is a weird statement. He played the european U19 championship this summer.

Lots of hustle.  IMO, super inspiring to watch.

I like the Hawaiis coach. Very straight shooter comment

35-17 at half, looking good.  Hope they don’t pull a Seth.  Too soon?

[Harry]

That was one of the BEST halves of North Texas basketball I have watched.  Hawaii is not a great team but they aren't a bad team either.  Wow this is fun.

Yep... too soon.

Periscoping live @Greenglobepod if you want to talk about that first half

[Salsa_Verde]

Hawaii coach said North Texas is punking them. Have to appreciate the honesty 😅
