UAB (1/24/19)

[BillySee58]

I’m about to sound like a spoiled punk but watching this team play is just like last year before the CBI. Terrible offense every night, underperforming and don’t know how to play with a lead.

[TheColonyEagle]

Holy crap

[risinggreen]

We'd have a tough time beating Brookhaven College shooting like this. Big dropoff from 2018.

[TheColonyEagle]

We have a shot. UAB turned it over. 1.1 seconds left. UNT ball 52-49 UAB

[TheColonyEagle]

Under review but it went off UAB player 

[RiseUNT]

Did all of our guys get girlfriends? Look like they lost their legs!

[CMJ]

UAB 52  -------- NT 49

 

Final

[Greendylan]

Also, we have won more than our share of close games, which is a credit to our players and coaches, but let's keep this is perspective: we still have not yet beaten a team with a winning record in conference play.  While we are likely headed for a good final record, we are probably also facing several losses that some will find surprising.

[UNTLifer]

We are not playing well and nobody is blowing us out. If we get through this lull, return to how we playing during the CBI and early this year we will be fine.

We are in good position of the defensive end. Sometimes looks like we are still playing defense on offense.

[GrandGreen]

It had to happen, NT's offense just not clicking.   Having Duffy out and Woolridge injured sealed NT's fate in this game.  Plus Smart is still not close to the player he was last year.   

Frankly little matters other than the tournament, just peak at the right time.  

[Harry]

Man we need some 3s

[Andrew]

Radio said radio said that was the largest crowd of the year.

[EagleMBA]

HERE IS WHAT WE NEEDED !...

HERE IS WHAT WE GOT !...

 

[Philip Ferguson]

I heard this was a record crowd for this season (4,300 or so).  Hopefully, everyone shows up on Saturday...GMG

Tony is back?!

Fuck I quit then!

[southsideguy]

talking about an off night.  I still think Simmons is hurting.  He is not himself out there and he not going to the basket like he was early in the season.  We come Saturday like we have the last two games and we will lose.  We will have to win the tournment to get to the NCAA and think we will be one trick pony.

[Mean Green Matt]

Hope this doesn’t hurt the crowd for Saturday. It wasn’t just a loss. It was a terrible game to watch. 

[Green Lantern]

What a brutal game. Gotta find a way to get out of our offensive funk. Credit UAB for finding a way to grind out a really ugly W on the road.

[southsideguy]

The little dibblers help the attendance numbers.

[FirefightnRick]

My god we can’t shoot the ball anymore.  Great play after great play drawn up by the coaches to get clean, open looks and we hit rim all night.  It’s all an opponent has to do now is sag and take away the lane.  

And while I’m blowing off steam after a 3 1/2 hour round trip let me add that in my 33 years I never thought we would miss Jennifer Cloutier so f¥#£ing much, but we do.

Good Night!

I’m assuming someone griped about the student section?  😅

Sheesh, you're right. 

Our football and bball teams are eerily similar. 

[Wag Tag]

Smart has really struggled this year. Hope he can turn it around. GMG

[southsideguy]

DJ has to take the open shot.  I think was 2 from 3 last night but he had a couple of looks where he passed the ball away and caused a turnover on at least one of the passes.  

In football and now basketball we get a good crowd at the game and we seemed to lay an egg.
