Saint Mary's (11/13/22)

[Big Z]

Not a good weekend of sports 

[Andrew]

What did we expect after losing to a D2 opponent at home. After that loss we knew it was going to be an uphill battle. We need some post players who can bully and board. No excuse for missing the shots but we are undersized and out hustled. 0-2 to start the season is not ideal.

What's the lowest score by any college bball team in the 1st half?

[NorthTexasWeLove]

I didn't expect to win this. I did expect to see grit. Sheesh.

When I hit the link to wccsports.com I only get a still image of the game that’s frozen.  Refreshing doesn’t help.  Anyone else with that problem?

If you're attempting it on Safari on iOS I was unsuccessful getting the same issue on an iPhone. It worked fine in Chrome on Android.

St Mary's women's basketball team might see the court tonight

Halftime

 

Thank God that half is over.

We just need to go on a 22-0 run to start the 2nd half and we’re right back in this thing.  

[greenjoe]

The worst half of North Texas basketball I’ve ever seen.

[Green Lantern]

Probably the worst half of North Texas basketball I’ve ever seen.

[CMJ]

While I don't think we'd be winning with Perry and Jones, there is no question if we had some shooters to punish them packing it in, we could be much more competitive.

Phew….

Back in 2018….
Eastern Michigan tied the Division-I record for fewest points in a half during the shot clock era Monday night when it went to the locker room trailing host Rutgers by a score of 31-4.

[southsideguy]

I saw a UTEP Wyoming game back before the shot clock where Wyoming got to 10 at halftime.

[CMJ]

I'd still say Maryland beating us by 75 is worse than this.

Anyone started Tulsa King on Paramount?  Not sure I'm going to stick around for this...

Started watching yellowstone. I can't handle another blow out this weekend

[bstnsportsfan3]

Shooting 14% won’t beat anyone. Rough first half to say the least

I still remember listening to that one on the radio 😬

Well to anyone who watched the game and knows basketball we lost. I suppose to an average fan blinded by the green googles then we won by 6. I don’t take being handed a game by a D2 team at home by pity pulling their starters a loss. Then again that’s why some people coach and play and others just sit around and watch… 

[UNTBill]

Thanks Keith

The commentator on the half time feed on wccsports.com said the WCC is a 2 or 3 bid conference.  Someone with a higher basketball IQ help me understand why the WCC gets 2-3 bids and CUSA gets 1 or maybe 2 with the very occasional at large bid.

Knew nothing of us. Reading the margin, had to look it up. 132-57. That's pretty gross.

Well, they snag an at large here and there, for sure. They have Gonzaga, but they have well branded and competitive basketball programs; Zags, SMC, San Fran, Pepperdine, BYU, USD, etc. Those listed programs could probably come into CUSA and make a lot of noise.
