WBB at Marshall

[Venson]

The women are leading 25-11 with 8:49 left in the second quarter. Hopefully the win against UTSA carries over.

[Venson]

Women up 47-31 at the half. Should be like 60-31 if they could make a free throw.

[Venson]

Women up 70-50 at the end of three. They still can't make FTs.

[Mean Green Matt]

Up 20 going into the 4th. We’ve had some bad 4th quarters though. If we can hold on that should get us into the tourney.

The 4th quarter blues have started. Marshall on a 13-2 run. We are only up by 9 with 5:44 left. They are panicking and jacking up horrible shots.

[Venson]

Marshall went on a 19-2 run and closed it to three, but Townley has taken over and put us up by seven with 1:09 remaining.

[Mean Green Matt]

Close call. But at least they held on. They have a legitimate shot at making it up to the 11 seed. Should just need to beat UTEP at home next Saturday.

Women hang on for 77-69 victory.

Upset Middle😂

I hate to keep being right (no I don't) but Coach Mitchell and her staff have been doing great things with this team. We'll make some noise in the conference tournament.  We will be in the hunt for the conference title this time next year.

I agree. They are trending upwards. All these calls for her head are uncalled for. She is doing amazing things with a bunch of Freshmen and a depleted roster. If anything, she needs to get a new S&C coach to help these girls get through the season.

Next year though👀 with experience from this year, they could be top 5. Including the incoming talent

[GrandGreen]

Lucky to hang on with their usual abysmal free throw shooting. 

Not sure the strategy of slowing down the game with a big lead, won the game or almost allowed Marshall to catch up

This team should be playing for the championship next year not the top third of the league.   

NT should return the whole team less George.   This includes two players currently injured that would probably be starting in McDowell and Owens.  She has also recruited a 4 stat 6'2 post player.

Rooting for Mitchell. Good win.

The women are officially into the CUSA tourney with the losses by FIU and UTSA today. We are currently the 11 seed (have the head to head tiebreak over La Tech. We were an 11 seed when we made the semifinal two years ago.

Honestly, I haven't seen much calling for her head. Are you talking about on GMG.com? I'm a fan and want Jalie to do well. I think she's not that far off. My biggest worry is the number of transfers out she seems to have in the program. But I believe if any other coach at UNT had her overall record, this board would be on fire. It seems most of us are pretty patient with her given she's one of ours and inherited a mess. But McCasland also inherited a shit show, has won considerably more and has taken way more criticism on this board than Jalie.

[Salsa_Verde]

I think you’re right, being one of the greatest women athletes the school has ever had....you just want her to succeed, most are willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. I haven’t heard anyone saying she needs to go.
