We are playing like we don’t want to lose.

We are playing tired. We can’t run it in offense so we need to slow down and set it up to get good looks. Even so those looks are going to be rough because we can’t seem to get it up there. 
 

10 minutes left and we better have something in the tank. Let’s go get it guys!

[RBTX]

Love that the ref waited until we got the rebound to call that. Even though it should of been a charge.

The last 9:00 could be painful to watch 

they are spent

7:33 to go

 

 

I don't know where the offense is gonna come from.  We look real tired.

[UNT Family Man]

Why not play Unman? This makes no sense!

 

[DeepGreen]

Crap!

[All About UNT]

We are about to North Texas this aren't we?

[jperg2]

Where'd the offense disappear to?

[Salsa_Verde]

Sigh 

[Andrew]

If we lose Mac eats this lose for his inability to rest our players and use his bench. Everyone has commented in this and it never once came across his mind that these guys would struggle offensively at some point? 
 

At this point Jackson would be better off out there than tired guard legs who can’t score. 
 

perhaps I am being a bit over the top but two games ago this was already on my mind when we showed we weren’t going to give any bench guys a chance. A poor player at 100% is going to be better than a star at 20%. Make a choice to win.

If we have no gas then we are done. They spotted us 17 and we could not hang from that. Good run but just not enough to beat this team

[Eagle71]

1 for last 17.  Haven't scored in 7:44.

[Marty]

4 games in 4 days, we're looking spent.

Hard to make jump shots on tired legs, unfortunately. Hope we can dig deep

[Charlie NT 73]

Yeah with 9 missed shots in a row!

No wonder WKU has caught up!!

Come on Mean Green!

WKU on a 11 point run!

[Andrew]

Oh fantastic the same tired legs out there while also WKU is shorting free throws the rest of the way. Up hill battle for sure.

We could have but of course we can’t play our bench when we are ahead... that would just make too much sense in a situation like this....

Looked like a great game plan earned that lead.

[Wag Tag]

The bench he recruited is the deeper problem.

[Andrew]

Good grief at this point just put Lewis and Jackson in there. They at least don’t miss open shots that often. Goodness this is frustrating to watch. Stubborn coaches irk me at times. Mac had the game-plan down and we followed it to a T, but once we were up we needed to rest our guys and slow the pace down to a crawl while they rested.  I won’t stop mentioning the final buzzer buzzes. So frustrating.

If you can't score more than 7 points in 15 minutes of play in the second half, you probably are not going dancing.

Maybe if we foul out Bassey we can drive to the bucket.  Otherwise...I don't know...

They can produce better than what we have out there right now with tired legs. Easily. Defense would be a problem but we need to score and score now. 

[TheColonyEagle]

1 FG in the 2nd half 

[kingwoodgreen]

The recognition we will get from the tournament will not be the great run to the championship. It will be the total collapse of the second half. What a shame.
