65-59 Utah State

Utah 65 NT 59 with 37 seconds left

[Jonnyeagle]

Some day I hope they will learn how to win.  Zach needs to play tougher on defense in the paint.  Disappointing loss.

USU 68 --------- NT 59

 

 

Final

[CMJ]

We reverted to form the last four minutes.  Unfortunately.

11-0 run to end the game for UTah state. Wow. 

[Salsa_Verde]

Welp...nevermind then  

[NorthTexasSportsNetwork]

Hard faught game by the Mean Green. Should've won that, but Utah State is a legit team.

If we can play defense like that, we should dominate in C-USA play. 

Offense is shaky, and needs to find rhythm.  

[FirefightnRick]

29 free throws for USU to 7 for NT.

Exactly, lots of contact not called at the NT basket during the second half.

Also 12 fouls for USU to 22 for UNT.

This team couldn't close in a brothel

[Mean Green Matt]

I guess the hope is that the team is learning way more from this stretch of games than playing our traditional meaningless OOC schedule. And that those lessons pay off in March.

We should wear Green and White at home, Green and White on the road, and black as an alternate.

FIFY

Black is an official color only when required for accenting printed logos. It doesn't belong anywhere on our uniforms.

Why don't you like black?

Really misleading as we started to foul late and they didn't miss one FT.  As the announcers said, this weekend will be good for us down the road.  They were really impressed with our defense and effort.  We just have to find some flow to our offense.  I don't think Hamlet is the answer at the point.  He dribbles into trouble way to much and then gets stuck having to pass.  A true PG would really help this team.  Geu was impressive.  Z Simmons needs to play with Geu's energy.  This team has the ability and potential to be really good.  They just have to find an offensive rhythm.

Because we are the Mean Green.

True, but wearing black on occasion is good for the people (mainly the youngish  people like me and recruits)

[UNTLifer]

How is it good for recruits?  I hear/read this all the time, but do the kids really care if they get to wear black?  Has a recruit ever tweeted, "I am taking my talents to U of ??? because of their cool alternate uniforms?"  I am youngish and prefer green and white with black accents.

Just to change things up a bit. Not saying recruits come to schools because of their alternates. 

I like wearing green and white, but it's always nice to switch things up. Not like we are Kentucky or Duke with a lot of good history

[ProvoAggie]

Aggie fan here coming in peace. While I'm sure the loss and record may be disappointing, I still believe you guys have a very good team. Defense was fantastic and you guys have played an extremely difficult schedule (tougher than us so far). Good luck the rest of the way. 

[GrandGreen]

NT just scared the heck out of the number 15 team in the nation, and a lot of the comments are about uniform color,.

Geu was the best player in the game, edging out Gibson.

Lot of complaints about Hamlet, but I thought it was his best game by far this year. 

The chemistry of this team is getting slowly better, this tough oc schedule should greatly benefit NT in conference play.  This doesn't look like the seventh best team in CUSA as many project.

We play in 'alternate' colors and it's poor branding to wear something other than the identity that we're trying to promote.

Uniforms are for one thing...to promote an identity. Changing constantly to unrecognizable uniforms is detrimental to that task.

Craig Helwig had at one time added blue and copper to our uniforms. I don't dislike those colors either, but they too, like black, or gray, do not belong on our uniforms.

That, and the fact that our gray uniforms are cursed.

I’m feeling good about the way we looked this weekend. I still don’t get why we like going back to playing hot potato on the perimeter but it does seem like we’re doing less of it. Also really liked seeing us respond when they started scoring after the slow start. So much to work on and probably some rotation tweaks, but maybe we can make this a fun season after all.
