UTEP (2/7/22)

[denton_days]

What a great game. Only caught the end of it, but man did UTEP have a ton of fouls.

Boum: 0 - Super Pit.

Great game, UNT looked eager to battle it out in a tough game. UNT is known to go to the 3 when they get behind, but it wasn't happening tonight, good to see the team go for a different look and continue to drive the ball inside the lane. It shows we don't rely on just 1 thing, making adjustments to our style when we need to. UTEP is a good team with some standout players. Free throws need to be worked on, we can build leads and maintain confidence if we make more of our free throws.

Side note: The team must really hate the white home uniforms, they seem to avoid wearing them as much as possible.

It’s a big positive sign that Tylor Perry scored 3 points and we still beat a quality squad that had won something like 7 straight

It should not be ignored that this team can make it hard to focus on just one guy.  UTEP has two guys that can hurt you, but our scoring distribution, on a night where they tried to take away Perry, looked like this:

Bell - 18
Ousmane - 17 
McBride -13
Jones - 10

Maybe the best overall game Bell has played for us in his career. 

Abu was also played well although he has to start finishing around the rim and hitting is free throws.  

JJ with his usual lock down defense and great hustle plays.

McBride just being solid, hitting big shots and attacking the rim.

Jones was also extremely solid.

Perry didn't get his usual points but ran the point well.

Scott was a little off tonight, but he is going to be something special.

Love this team.  Even when it is close I just have this feeling that everything is alright and we will take care of business.

Mac needs to go back to the black and green Jordans.  They are money.  Didn't want to have to blame this one on his change of shoes.

Rest up and let's go beat Rice.

Golding is fantastic.  Personally, I'm disappointed that Miner BBall isn't joining us in the AAC but I get it, football and money drive this thing.

The flip side is, Golding might have that thing really rolling in a couple years and I'm relieved we won't be around to see it.

Very solid win and second half performance. Are these greens not the best uniforms that North Texas has ever worn?

We should continue to play UTEP.  Always a good game.

I'm so glad we are sponsored by Nike, and particularly happy we aren't sponsored by Adidas. Something about their jerseys that look off/ill fitting/cheaper.

We should definitely keep playing LA Tech and WKU.

Great tough win! JJ Murray gets the “Hot Fry Georgie Player of the Game” for his lockdown 2nd half defensive effort on Bieniemy  That dude looked like he could get whatever he wanted in the first half - then nothing once JJ was in his hip pocket.

Ousmane and Bell continue to impress.

Agree. Great look!

[Quoner]

Very fun game. If you could measure and plot the crowd energy and atmosphere on an axis, it’s come a long way since the holiday break. I think I heard three songs during the second half released after 2017, so we’re seeing growth all over the court. 

[Big Z]

Thomas Bell III reminds me of Kawhi Leonard style 

[denton_days]

Great game, and I keep forgetting how many of these rotational guys are sophomores! 

[CMJ]

What was the attendance tonight?

3883, thought it be a bigger crowd parking was full and a long line to get in.  I thought it would be packed when I walked up.

I've always laughed at the music choices. Every time I think surely it must be someone in their mid 30s, re-living hits from their prime. 😂

Can we get rid of the on the floor talent that announced all the fan games.  She really wears me out.

Thought it was pretty good for a Monday night rescheduled game.

Technically we don’t have any sophomores in the rotation

This game has all of the classic signs of a trap game for us.  I expect us to lose and it could be by a big margin.

Lol
