Miami (11/26/21)

Absolutely loving this game. Up 12 at the half is something to celebrate. This is a good team.

Can't ever remember UNT playing consecutive games on national tv. Great exposure! No one has called us North Texas State...yet!

Not counting the NCAA Tournament last year.

Looking ahead at halftime - if we win, we play Bama. If we lose, we play drake it seems. That’s if Bama wins. Both very good teams. Hoping we get another top 25 matchup tomorrow! Bama is still at 24 in kenpom, even though they lost to Iona.

Came out flat. Let’s go guys.

Miami is defending the outside better. There are now lanes inside. Cannot be afraid to use those. A little too much indecision with some of that.

So is Wright in the doghouse from poor performance? Just curious because we have run 7 guys all game. Totally fine, but tired legs will catch up to us at some point. Especially if Perry is sick. 

[Greendylan]

This is . . . not headed the right direction.  We need to be a little more innovative on offense, which I realize is easier said than done against this caliber of opponent.

Wasn’t expecting us to blow the lead this quickly.

I want one of the pullovers that McCasland is wearing.

My tv won’t let me go back, but I think it had to do with letting his guy slip on defense and (maybe…) he was not being aggressive on offense moving side to side at the top of the key. That’s a maybe though because I can’t go back and really see.  

[outoftown]

Interior defense really in trouble right now

[RBTX]

Unfortunately Miami came out with energy and we just haven't been able to match it. Very similar to the Buffalo game where they caught fire and we couldn't get any thing done to stop the bleeding.

[Andrew]

Dead legs kicking in… we need somebody else coming off the bench. 

[Greendylan]

Miami is pretty much getting to the basket with little resistance at this point.  Our lack of depth (and playing consecutive days) may once again be an issue.

[CMJ]

I was put to work cleaning up from yesterday.  I got to see some of the Miami comeback, but thankfully not all of it.  Gotta work on getting things back together.

Thomas Bells nick name is…. Taco Bell?

UM 57---- NT 54

 

7:32 to go

 

 

I feel like we've recovered from the blow they hit us with to start the half.

[greenminer]

We look lost sometimes. Got a dogfight going on

[outoftown]

Ousmane having lots of missed opportunities from up close. That has to improve.

Nail biter right to the end!

Weird nickname for JJ Murray.
