Florida International (2/16/19)

[CMJ]

To assure ourselves a place in the top pod, this game is a must.  We could still get in anyway, but let's do it ourselves.

[RiseUNT]

Who is playing? Without Woolridge and Duffy it will be tough.

Hopefully UAB can't pull off the upset.

[Green Lantern]

Really hope Duffy is able to go today.

[NorthTexasWeLove]

Gotta get this one. It'll be interesting to see how they respond from Thursday.

MIAMI — On Saturday at 1 p.m. versus Florida International, the North Texas men's basketball team will play its final game before Conference USA's Bonus Play begins next weekend.

The Mean Green (20-6, 8-4 C-USA) look to end a two game losing streak, its first of the season, when they travel to Miami to play the Panthers (15-11, 6-7 C-USA). The game will air on ESPN+ and the Mean Green Sports Network on KHYI 95.3 FM with Dave Barnett and Hank Dickenson on the call.

UNT's .727 all-time winning percentage against FIU (16-6) is the Mean Green's best winning percentage against any D1 opponent they've played at least 20 times.

How do you have an empty 500 seat gym?

Welp Woolridge is out and Duffy might play.

[Hall Eagle 2011]

I just heard the announcer say Woolridge is not dressed out for today's game. What did I miss? Is he injured? Fingers crossed Duffy gets out there today! 

Also, the camera shakes from the video crew on the sides of the court (not the main full-court camera) are reminding me of a really terrible ODU Football video crew. It's either shaky or it's way too zoomed in on the players. I spoke too soon - At about 17:30, the main camera did not get down the court when we had the ball on offense. Draper for the 3 made up for it on the next possession.

Smart seems to have his range today.

[greenminer]

This is rough to watch.

[RiseUNT]

This will be a game where coach keeps looking at the bench for help but there won't be any there.

I thought it was his groin?

[Andrew]

So are we not getting Fluffy or Simmons back until the tourney or what?

[RiseUNT]

I'm not sure we are capable of beating any D1 team without Woolridge.
