UTEP (1/15/21)

[UNTLifer]

Schedule shows both games to be played on Stadium.  We need a sweep.

If we wanna make this the game thread for tomorrow, can one of the mods add the date?

[UNTLifer]

I have been thinking of this all year and wanted to share a thought and get some feedback.  Bell was phenomenal off the bench as our sixth man last year, and has moved into a starting role alongside Zach, Hamlet, Reese and McBride.  What if we shifted Bell back to the bench along with McBride and inserted Jones and Lewis into the starting five.  Some players seem to just be more comfortable coming off the bench and that may help Bell with his consistency.  Lewis would add some size alongside Zach and releaving some of the defensive pressure on our one true big.  McBride would be our sharpshooter off the bench allowing the versatile Jones to share some of the ballhandling with Hamlet.  Jones would also replace some of the length Bell provides.  I know Reese has been terribly streaky and thought about moving him to the bench instead of McBride, but he is too important on the defensive end to not start.

Thoughts?

I like that idea a lot

Struggling on offense.

Fun basketball

[CMJ]

NT 7 ------ UTEP 7

Good stretch right there

[CMJ]

Reese playing well and opening things up for our other guys.

[greenminer]

Man, we look alright when our guys are scoring a lot.

[CMJ]

NT 31 ------ UTEP 15

 

Halftime

 

Can't complain being up 16.

[BillySee58]

Cut the turnovers down and be more decisive offensively. Otherwise pretty good stuff.

[UNT Texas Hooligan]

Doubling them up at halftime. Our team really brought their shooting shoes today and we are out rebounding them big despite their obvious size advantage. Looking good

[Marty]

Can we hold them under 20?

[CMJ]
