We’ve never had a higher seed in the NCAA Tournament than 15. I just want us to be in position where if we win the CUSA Tourney we can have a 13 or better seed and actually have an opponent we have a shot against.

Right there with ya brother.

I think this is going to be another close game.

Disappointing crowd. Game will be over before Cowboys start too

[CMJ]

Let's go NT!

[CMJ]

NT 7 ----- USM 7

 

15:45 to go

 

A lot of early fouls.....

[meangreen24]

Fouls:

UNT 4

So Miss 0

[Eagle71]

I'm still waiting to see a foul by us! What a bunch of touchy-feely calls.

[RushnStudies]

What the heck????

[CMJ]

USM 16 -------- NT 11

 

11:32 to go

 

Shooting about 30% so far.  Ugly stuff on offense.

[Talon90]

Offense is non existent....same start like against Rice.

 

[RushnStudies]

We made those 2 free throws. We need to keep making them and not throw away points tonight.

[CMJ]

USM 23 -------- NT 21

 

7:29 to go

 

Arikawe is probably our MVP so far.  Seems like he's gotten most of the loose balls tonight.

He and Miller are the two guys I think hustle buzzer to buzzer. They are probably my two favorite guys on the team. I wish Arikawe would get more minutes.

I think there was some jawing after his first foul ("foul"?) and it seemed to fire him up. I always thought he seems like he'd be a meaner player than what he's shown...liking the edge from him tonight

[RushnStudies]

Finally in the lead again.

[RushnStudies]

We're on a what, 8-point run?

[RushnStudies]

34-28 MG with 50.6 in the 1H.

[CMJ]

NT 34 -------- USM 28

 

50.6 seconds in the half

 

Playing better on offense the last 4-5 minutes.

NT 36 -------- USM 30

 

Halftime

 

Not a bad half.  Night fight back.  Just gotta keep it going.

[CMJ]

NT 46 -------- USM 35

 

15:11 to go

 

Smart hit a trey....10-0 run....biggest lead of the night.

[BillySee58]

Good, fun start

[CMJ]

NT 46 -------- USM 40

 

13:22 to go

 

Golden Eagles making a run back at us.  Not gonna be easy.
