Marshall (3/3/19)

[Mean Green Matt]

The seeding for the tournament doesn’t even matter at this point. No team in the conference is unbeatable. The problem is we are just about out of time to right the ship ahead of the tournament. We will just have to hope it comes out of nowhere like the CBI.

Every shot Marshall is taking is a good look. Every shot UNT is taking is contested

[Andrew]

lol the fan behind me screamed yea finally someone who looks like a post player who can rebound as Arikawe comes to the bench. Arikawe better be ready because we need somebody to bully the post. 

[CMJ]

I swear, I wish I wasn't so invested because I wanna throw in the towel on this season.  

[RBTX]

I'm done

[DeepGreen]

I quit watching the game.  We are falling all over ourselves.

[GrandGreen]

I will never understand why J. Simmons get all those minutes.  

[Mean Green Matt]

Three seasons in a row for McCasland with these bad late season slumps. Becoming a trend. Not sure why. But it’s happening. Injuries have not helped.

Can't get any stops when we need them.

[Andrew]

This team never quits and I give them props for that! 

[Greendylan]

The meltdowns are getting more and more epic each game.

[Travis]

The wheels are freaking off

Biggest collapse that I can recall.

[Mean Green Matt]

Does anyone know if Woolridge is expected to be healthy by conference tournament time?

[Harry]

Stunned!  This has been a free fall.

[NorthTexasWeLove]

From 17-1 to 20-10. 

[GrandGreen]

I think they actually played about as well as they can without Woolridge.

I don't think Marshall would have been close if there was a healthy Woolridge playing.  That being said, I think this was Gibson's best game at the point.

😞This is the first game I left early this season.  I just didn't feel the need to watch the ship go down this time.   With Ryan, we might have one this game but he is hurt so the rest of the team needs to show up. The Epic Mean Green fade.  We seem to do it in basketball and football.  We just can't seem to put a full game together.

I don't think I will be making the drive to Frisco this year.

That’s the worst thing we could do as a fan base.

Picked up our tournament tickets today.  See you there. 

Side note: I have never seen a visiting team act like such jerks as Marshall did in the second half. All of them crying to the refs constantly and acting entitled.  (We have had season tickets since 2009.). We need students like we used to have behind the visiting bench to let ‘em have it.  

GMG!

[Salsa_Verde]

Sigh 

[CMJ]

If the season had been more consistent...like if we had won a few in league play and then lost a few it wouldn't seem so bad.  But the way the bottom has fallen out after such a great start really makes this season feel like a complete disappointment.

Usually, when this continues to happen, it’s connected to players tuning out their coach. I wonder if McCasland’s style isn’t too grating on players and they just get worn out on him as the season progresses. 3 straight years of this suggests there’s merit to this problem..
