Southern Mississippi (2/12/21)

[CMJ]

Important road trip.  Need to stay close to the Blazers.

Will the winner of each division be called co-champions? If there is an NIT who gets the autobid?

Going through a scoring drought.

[BillySee58]

These LONG offensive droughts are killing us. 5+ minutes.

We survived against La Tech because we built up such a huge early lead, and we might survive it tonight against this level of competition, but if we are still letting this happen in the conference tournament we’ll get knocked out.

Great road win. In control throughout and put them away. Finish the job with a road sweep tomorrow.

We need to start hitting the 3 ball at a higher rate.

I watched the LATech UAB game and how Lofton Jr gets away with pushing people out of the paint.  He made UAB look bad but man he is pushing people around.

Once he gets more developed, he’ll be unstoppable. Except when he plays us😏

Tech Dude looks fat to me.  Sorry.  Just being honest.

Wish there was some kind of digital archive in place of the MGRN.  Would love to be able to bring up audio replays of old games.

Mean Green Beat Southern Miss, 65-49

HATTIESBURG, MS — The North Texas men's basketball team beat Southern Miss 65-49 Friday night at the Reed Green Coliseum in Hattiesburg, Mississippi in the first of two weekend games at USM.
 
UNT (11-6, 7-2) opened each half on considerable runs and used its stifling defense to contain the Golden Eagles (7-13, 3-10).

Oh yeah he looks like it, but maybe a healthy fat? Lol

It could be…all depends on his dedication to off season work. His skills are deadly and if he develops his body he certainly reminds me of a young Charles Barkley type.
