The other dude is the most biased commentator I’ve heard in years. Hire real people, not former players to call games.

And… GET THE MICS AWAY FROM THE LOUD ASS OLD MAN

What is the score on the womens game by the way?

[Andrew]

There we go. Must need urgency on the offensive end. Needed that when I said with 5-6 mins left in the half but happy they adjusted at the half.

No depth and tired legs better be aggressive on offense because free throws will be hard for everyone still.

UTEP 31

NT 36

3rd 7:13

[CMJ]

UTEP 37 -------- NT 28

 

15:13 to go

 

That's the kind of defense we need to continue to play.

[Gibbz]

Ousmane is totally worthless today.

[RiseUNT]

Missed dunk = 2 missed free throws 

[outoftown]

Argghh. The missed Ousmane dunk is sadly emblematic so far. NT was in position to close in for real several times and then kind of failed to make something that oughta be easy at this level.

That said, if we only look at the second half, they are just about on course

We need a 7-0 run here to start the 2nd half. Then I’ll feel better. 

I would’ve taken 9-2 (missed dunk) 🤦🏼‍♂️

[TheColonyEagle]

I have to leave. Radio? Do they play basketball games on 95.3?

[UNTFan23]

Foul trouble starting to creep up on the Miners.

Sadly enough also on NT.  on UTEp lots of players in foul trouble on NT just two, (Ousmane and Scott) but those reaaally are.

[Andrew]

I really wish we would let Wright have some minutes to keep guys out of foul trouble and get them rest. Not every player has to contribute to the stat line. Many teams have that guy whose sole purpose is to give someone a break. That in itself would be a huge contribution for this team. 

[CMJ]

UTEP 43 -------- NT 37

 

11:06 to go

 

Had it down to four on two occasions, but couldn't get another stop.

[UNT Texas Hooligan]

We would be tied right now if Bell made every free throw he missed. Frustrating 

[NorthTexasSportsNetwork]

This is the most unprofessional broadcast I’ve ever listened to. My power went out so I can’t listen and watch at the same time on my TV.

 

[Andrew]

Maybe this game will be the lesson Mac needs. Basketball is like chess and you need to get your guys in position to win, but you also have to make adjustments. The fact we can’t play anyone else is absolutely pitiful and doesn’t bode well for three games in a row. 

[CMJ]

UTEP 48 -------- NT 41

 

7:55 to go

 

Can't close...and foul trouble everywhere.

[meangreenacct]

Refs absolutely killing this game second half. Can’t believe the call on Perry.

My complaint is the lack of consistency in their calls. A call on one end isn't a call on the other end. Hard fouls aren't called but minor touch fouls are.

[UNT Texas Hooligan]

We can’t make anything and the clock is ticking away

Enjoy being wrong…. 🤣

Its ok to be a fan but also be critical of the team, coach, players, etc… 

-we will need a lot of luck to pull this off. It’s possible and obviously I am rooting for them, but anybody  can see that we are not deep and it’s hurting our guys at the line and at the offensive end. That’s a fact regardless of your feelings….
