Good answer out of the timeout. 

Big win on the road.

18-2 run since Simmons left. Guess how much impact he has?

We've got other big men... Why not play them?  We went totally small and nearly blew it.

Also... The big Russian hardly plays.  Thought he was supposed to be a gamer.  What's going on?

Arikawae was out there at the end. 

Tikho is raw and not ready. He plays a stretch 4, but the only role for him on this team is as a 5.

If I had to guess it was probably because the game wasn't really out of range the way Indiana shoots 3's and he wanted to go with someone that was already in the feel of the game.

Win by 10+ on the road against a team that had won 5 straight including against CUSA preseason favorite WKU. Nice OOC win. 

[Greendylan]

We had a couple near meltdowns but recovered each time, especially after timeouts, so that it didn't get TOO scary.

[Mean Green Matt]

Nice win!

[GrandGreen]

Good win but this game should not have been that close at the end.   BS call on the intentional foul, but NT sure needs to develop another big.  I guess Simmons is out the first half of the next game.  

Woolridge is the real deal, he makes it look so effortless.  I guess Smart is not ready for real big minutes.  Draper is a great defensive player at 5'10.

[MeanGreenTexan]

Took their best shot after Simmons went out.

Way to dig back in the last 2 minutes & will your way to victory guys!

Good stuff.

Why would he be out the first half of the next game? Yes, he was assessed a flagrant 2 but that doesn't carry over to the next game.

This actually should help the NET rating a lot.

I think the refs actually called targeting. God, they were bad.

Is there enough interest in in-game chat to try and facilitate this elsewhere, since gmg.com doesn't seem inclined to bring it back?

I had to use this free program called Slack once.  Would something like that be a good or bad idea?

I would be good with that. We had a Slack channel for a while, but not sure if people still use it.

I love Slack and use it for work. You can create different channels for different topics.

That was a quality win!

I actually felt like I was watching one of our Sunbelt refereed games from yesteryear. Very questionable calls and the Simmons one was total crap. Anyone know what conference those refs were from? 

[TheColonyEagle]

Fun team to watch 

[Graddean]

Apparently, the call was a flagrant 1 foul. A flagrant foul 2 results in disqualification. According to what was said, he was not immediately disqualified but the double count added to his three previous fouls resulted in him fouling out.

[Green Lantern]

Nice road win for the Mean Green! Excited to see em play again on Saturday. Hopefully an easier task now without Scott Cross on UTA’s bench. That still baffles me.

Since I didn't see the score listed

 

 

80-69  Final

No one even lit the tower. You can have the honor. This 9-1 basketball team is special and something to look forward to regardless of what happens in football over the coming weeks. 

Light that tower CMJ!
