Western Kentucky (3/13/21)

[Eagle71]

One of the all-time great "gut check wins" in program history!

[Andrew]

Any news on if Jones will be good to go next week? That would be a major boost to this crew.

I feel like Simmons was the player of the game - even over Hamlet.  Simmons played their NBA draft pick to a draw, and when we were about down for the count hit a big shot to start our comeback.

My good friend commented on how well Simmons did. Simmons never looked scared and took it to Bassey.

Yes, especially after banging with Lofton only hours earlier.

Zach is, and has been since he arrived here, the cornerstone of this team.

Simmons looked bad against the UAB big then came out and balled in the tournament!

Don’t hold me to it but early word is NT #13 vs UT #4.

I was hoping for a 12 seed against OU or Tech, but OU would be ideal. Payback for last year at home and knock Gibson out of the tournament. One fan can dream 😎

Larry Wise out there....

And we still leave the same guys out there.... no subs.... let’s just go all in and lose by double digits. Why not Mac... 🤷🏼‍♂️
 

The starters are done. They are done. They aren’t going to get you the win. Make a change or go ahead and back the bus. This was made aware to everyone during the first half... first half coach. Cmon coach... try to win it. 

Lucky you were not coaching the game. 

[CMJ]

I liked the green ones the guys were wearing on court, but this is what I've found so far.

With the offers he had and the ability he showed in high school I was all for him. I would welcome him back if he changed his mind.

Wow.  What an amazing game!

I just went through this thread & felt all the same things you guys did while watching (except Andrew, sheesh. He was wrong with every post), especially in the mid-2nd half.
 

Proud of this team.  

Reese started the game on fire.  Zach battled Bassey all night & never backed down.  Drez with the shot of the game!  Bell with ALL the boards.  Javion sets a C-USA Championship game assist record! (as a reminder, he told us he’s gonna be drafted from North Texas.  I’m holding him to it!). And Coach Mac giving last year’s guys a shout out after the game.

Cant wait to see who we draw.

Go Mean Green!

Due to the number of times I had to read a certain poster insist we needed to rest, I feel a certain amount of personal triumph just to be here on page 11.

Somebody who makes the basketball threads start an ncaa tournament one so we can start talking!

If you can post, you can start a thread.

Try it, if you mess up just delete it and try again.

I like to leave it up to the UNT COUNCIL to start game threads.

Us against the world baby!

There was some police officer from Frisco PD that was walking behind where I was sitting cheering for WKU. When WKU took the lead, he started saying loudly to some WKU supporters that I told you we were gonna win. I wish I would have saw him when the game ended. I would have talked all kinds of noise to him if I would have. He probably would have wanted to find a reason to arrest me for all the noise I would have talked to him. Haha. I think he went down court side so he didn't have to talk to any Mean Green fans after all that bragging he did about how he told us WKU was going to win. Made a statement like we are not a football state, we are a basketball state and Texas can't beat us in basketball. My guess is he is a Kentucky boy.

WKU pretty tired of Stansbury

...honestly, I think there must be another WKU board because HH has minimal activity on the game thread.  Maybe I'm missing something.

[CMJ]

That used to be their main board, but I admittedly haven't checked in on them in some time.
