Uhhh...I've watched them play, my dude.  I'll take our starting five and bench players over WKU's any day.

I hope this ages like a fine wine.

I'm here for this one. Team looks loose (in the hotel) but this late start (8pm) kind of concerns me. 

[greenjoe]

8:00 tip off Texas time ?

Look forward to your updates.   Is the weather pretty cold?

The Varsity Network app is trash. It keeps skipping on me.

[Pavlovs Eagle]

Guys look good early on...

...and I hate this camera angle.

[eagle73]

It looks very dark at both ends of the court

[Pavlovs Eagle]

Coach Stansbury has missed 3 games in a row.  Unspecified medical issues:

Thank God UNT is playing tonight. Gave me a reason to change the Mavs game.

[eagle73]

It is hard to complain about the start of this game.  Great defense and very good shooting and rebounding.

[TheColonyEagle]

If we just shoot half way decent from 3 we’re difficult to beat. If we shoot good from 3 we destroy people. 

[NorthTexasWeLove]

Damn. We needed some of this sweet magic from Martinez vs FAU. But hey, I like it either way. GMG

[Matt from A700]

This is supposed to be a national broadcast, but these commentators sound like WKU homers.

[eagle73]

We get the big lead, relax and let them back into the game.  We cant stand prosperity.

[Matt from A700]

Limping into halftime with a 8 point lead after a scoring drought since before the last media timeout.

[Hunter Green]

I realize Sharp is 7'5", but I wish Ousmane would go stronger to the hole and not just settle for the baby hook or the finesse shot. Go strong and score or draw the foul.

Absolutely. I had to mute the TV. They are 100% homers. 

 

0 points the final 6 minutes of the first half. Very reminiscent of the FAU game. It was the same way too, got a lead and tried to milk clock before a terrible offensive possession ensues with a dribble, pass and heave.  To start the game they were diving into the paint and kicking it. We started nailing 3s and they started closing out and the paint became exposed. Let's get back to that. Play to win the game, not to preserve a lead.

Sharp can be up and undered, easily. He's thirsty for blocks and chases spin outs and hooks.

Good grief western on something like a 24-9 run.

And so goes the age old question…is it possible to get a North Texas chant going on the road by yourself?

[Marty]

can't stand these announcers.

[eagle73]

Foul calls are out of hand.  At one point the had UNT with 7 and WK with only 1.  It is now 8-4.

No they are not. 

[Andrew]

19 to 6 free throw differential is a little suspicious. Especially when we were once up 21-2…..
