Drake (11/28/21)

[MCMLXXX]

Time to move on to our next opponent. 9:30AM is an early start. MVC Opponent. They are 3-2.  They beat Wichita State in the play in game for 11th seeds and then lost to USC in the next tournament game last year.

Agree that it is time to move on.

What could go wrong?

[drex]

ESPN had the football team at about 33 percent chance to beat UTSA...they are not infallible,

A one in three chance isn't bad though.  It's not like it was a 10% chance.

It is showing the game on ESPNU on the schedule, but the guide is showing Miami and Alabama for me.

Anyone know where the game will be shown?

ESPNU

Both teams playing well on defense early.

I can't find the game either on ESPN.  Too much bourbon from my celebration of UNT football win led me to look on wrong ESPN channel (ESPN News, not ESPNU). And the channel guide has the wrong game listed on ESPNU but it is the UNT game.

NT 9 ----- Drake 4

 

 

11:25 to go

 

Still struggling from the floor.  Drake keeps turning it over to us.

[MCMLXXX]

Announcer said Tylor Perry was a North Texas fan before he came here. Jeffrey Simpson was his cousin. I was unaware of that fact. 

[Marty]

Simmons getting early playing time.

[CMJ]

NT 18 ----- Drake 10

 

 

8:07 to go

 

Two teams trading runs.

[Andrew]

So how serious is the Wright injury? We were already weak in the post and without him Jamiah Simmons is needing to step up. 

[CMJ]

NT 22 ----- Drake 14

 

 

3:53 to go

 

That segment was more of a stalemate.  Both teams struggling on offense.

[CMJ]

NT 24 ----- Drake 20

 

 

Halftime

 

Rough end to the stanza.

[CMJ]

NT 32 ----- Drake 25

[CMJ]

NT 32 ----- Drake 29

 

 

11:54 to go

 

Bulldogs with another run at us.

[MattDamon23]

Perry is still not 100%. He is surely missed...

[Greendylan]

And . . . the inevitable massive second half scoring drought is upon us.

We need to hit the recruiting hard now so we can actually go ten deep when needed. If Mac doesn’t trust his recruits to play then maybe he shouldn’t have recruited them. 
we are running with Murray and Simmons over other guys. 
 

I mean that’s what is constantly said right now about the Mavs organization about bench minutes. 

[CMJ]

Drake 41 ----- NT 39

 

 

7:51 to go

 

Bulldogs are shooting above 50% for the half.  We aren't.

[Andrew]

Aaron Scott is definitely a keeper! 

[CMJ]

Drake 51 ----- NT 48

 

 

2:31 to go

 

Starting to not look good with the time quickly running out.

[TheColonyEagle]

We need this game
