Loyola-Chicago (1/2/21)

[CMJ]

Conference games cancelled means another OOC opponent.  This one of some recent national stature.

They’ve only lost two games, one by fourteen at #12 Wisconsin and the other by two at home to Richmond. Should be a good game.

Last L-C Game: Krutwig Powers Loyola To 86-55 Victory Over Illinois State
Last Mean Green Game: Bell Surges Mean Green To Victory

 

[greenminer]

I think it's notable that L-C won the 1963 National Championship.  This was their path through the tourney:

Round of 25: 111-42 over Tennessee Tech
S16: 61-51 over Miss State
E8: 79-64 over Illinois
F4: 94-75 over Duke
NC: 60-58 over Cinci

[CMJ]

Having trouble getting an audio stream for this one.

[Andrew]

Not sure about these refs... 

[CMJ]

I'm having to watch the scoreboard since I can't get the game in.  Looks like we're at the first media timeout tied at 6-6.

[CMJ]

Tied at 11 under 12 minute media TO

 

 

Killing me that I can't even get the audio for this.

North Texas 17 - Loyola Chicago 21

3:39 left in the 1st

9-0 run for Loyola to pull ahead here. Looked like the Loyola defender got his legs in the way of Hamlet’s landing path on his 3-pt shot but no foul called. Not many whistles today.

We’ve got to start knocking down these open looks.

It’s on ESPN+

 

...both teams playing scrappy.  Very active hands underneath the basket

Yes - that's the reason I said no.  😛

 

If it was on ESPN3, I could watch it.

[greenminer]

@CMJ ah! you’re talking about your access.  I misread and thought you were speaking about the broadcast.

[greenjoe]

The Loyola announcers just announced that the North Texas nickname DID NOT come from Joe Greene.  
 

2021 is already starting better than 2020.

[RiseUNT]

Hamlet and Bell do not look good right now.

[Andrew]

We have some other guys in the bench. Would be nice to change it up. Been stuck on 17 points forever..

[greenminer]

Hamlet gets his first basket.  We’re going to need more from him the 2nd half if we want to win this.

[meangreen10]

I’m sure this shouldn’t be the first time I notice this, so I’m wondering if injury or something is attributing to this, but what is up with Hamlet’s shooting form? It looks a little rough, and that’s the wrong position to have a funky shooting form to get the league.
