Post game thoughts

[emmitt01]

- We beat WKU to win the title last year...but there was a bit of an asterisk in the minds of some people.  They didn’t have Bassey.  Well, this year they did and It didn’t matter.

- We started out white hot, and if we didn’t get sloppy to end the first half and come out of the locker room we might have run away and hid.

- Western has a ton of heart.  They are obviously well coached and I believe deserve an NCAA bid because they are certainly one of the 64 best teams in the country.  If they don’t get one I will be at the pit rooting for them if they’re in the NIT

- North Texas has been to the Big Dance four times in history.  I am so lucky to have been there for three of the championship games that sent us there.  But I am especially blessed because my three future Mean Green alums got to witness this one with me.  

- Hamlet is a warrior.  Period.  

- Go Mean Green

Agree with all. It was a wonderful game to watch and I am very proud of our team.

Just rewatched the game.  I am convinced that, if not for sloppiness by our team and some VERY nice acting by the Hillfloppers, this game isn’t a tight one.

One thing I will add too is that, at least in these last two games, is that UNT balled out at the free throw line. Too many times, even in the pros, teams kill themselves missing key FT's when they're trying to make a comeback or have an opportunity to put the game away.

However, the refs totally could have called a technical foul on Terence Lewis for running onto the court before when WKU inbounded with 2.5 seconds left.

We should've won by 20. Sadly, that was our 4th game in 4 days, and WKU is a good team.
