WS getting the whistles

[Censored by Laurie]

Thomas Bell is a very frustrating player

[greenminer]

WS goes into half up 34-27.

a bit of a WS run sprinkled with some lucky bounces.  Mostly a rock fight.

Not sure what Abou's minutes are at, but he didn't seem out there as much as usual.  I don't know what's going on there.  Would be curious what the + or - is when he's out.

I wasn't going to say anything, but offensively he seems off sometimes.  It's like he wants to carry this team, but doesn't know what to do and then forces something stupid.

Looks like he’s out the if Udeze is out there

I am going to sound like a broken record…. 
but we better develop somebody on the bench or we will keep tuckering out late in games and blowing leads.

 

where is Wright, Browne, Stone, Zephyr!? Almost the entire new recruiting class is non existent. 
 

We will still be fine in conference and are top 2, but we need guys who can play and rest the starters not named Perry. 

[greenminer]

I'm clocking out of here to clock into work.  Hope we figure this out! This is a critical game for our resume, both this season and going into AAC.

Wright has an pulled hamstring.

Bell has been pressing on offense all year. Trying to do to much.

[flyonthewall]

The atmosphere here is unbelievable.   No reason the pit shouldn't be like this every game

Still? Becuase he was out with that and then he came back and played and struggled and got yanked by a yelling Mcasland and hasn’t been back yet he has been participating in practice.

 

Thought he went out during UTA came back at Kansas and got yanked, but then I know he played against that D2? Louisiana School at home. I thought he was just not trusted.

Bell and Jones need to pick it up.

These announcers are cracking me up.  Sound like Dave and Bob mCKenzie.  Also keep calling him Coach McCawsland lol

Hasn’t changed in the second half.

He’s 1-9 / that’s bad

[denton_days]

nice ball movement and missed shot.

[Andrew]

Murray plays the toughest perimeter defense at UNT I have seen in a while. He may be a liability on offense usually, but that defense is legit! Quick hands.

Much better player when he isn't trying to create his own shot.

[bstnsportsfan3]

NT on a 16-0 run!

[Talon90]

This is where I hope we learn from the Buffalo and Miami losses...BE SMART AND FINISH STRONG!

GMG!

Agreed…the slow backdown into a congested lane for a flip up at the cup frustrates me so much. I hope Rubin takes some of the shooting load off Bell in conference and he goes back to being more an energy dude

I’m generally okay with him taking shots, as long as they’re in the flow of the offense. But asking him to create off the dribble or as a back-to-the-basket player just doesn’t help us.

[Talon90]

This could turn into a good rivalry once we are in the same conference.

[TheColonyEagle]

Refs are getting iffy here 

 

that jump ball looked like a foul 

[TheColonyEagle]

[Talon90]

We have held them to 11 points in the 2nd half!
