You’re generous, I’m saying C- at best. Even out the levels at minimum. 

if DJ weren't a former player...let's just say I'm grading on a curve

[Censored by Laurie]

was scanning the box score per ESPN and it kinda shocked me to see that Aaron Scott has yet to be credited with a rebound. had you asked me before checking the stats I'd have sworn he had 3-5 from all the activity he gives on the glass. a non-stat stuffer, that dude.

Team deserves more support.

Meanwhile in Miami.....FIU has had quite the turnaround since we blew them out beating Charlotte and UAB.

[El Paso Eagle]

Great first half, only spoiled by that freaking horrendous "were not like others" commercial. What a F'ing embarressment. Who in the hell makes these decesions?

Marketing has always been a disaster. Can’t just email out a ticket promotion. RV would use other school’s marketing campaigns and switch it out to North Texas (insert cursive script here).  The marketing is never fun, never original and never enough. I’d market this team like I were a minor league baseball team losing money. Nothing would be off the table.

Rough start to the half.

Looks like we have already gone to the take a knee offense to try to run out the clock.

NT 41 ------- LA Tech 30

 

15:39 to go

 

We may have stopped the bleeding, but still....it's a game again.

[El Paso Eagle]

Is ESPN+ using Techs announcers?

Why do students have to go to UNTtix just to get tickets to games? I remember all I had to do was just present my student ID to get into games. I wonder if that discourages students from going to games. I know they use their phones for everything, but it just seems like an unnecessary step to me when you are already paying for athletics through the athletics fee.

There's literally former UNT player DJ Draper calling the game.

[GMG_Dallas]

I don't have the numbers but I'd guess Aaron Scott is nearly perfect in the midrange this season. He needs a mid-range green light and more offensive touches.

I guess he's trying to stay neutral to the point he's seems to be pro LT

[TheColonyEagle]

This team is really good. And this team is really maddening at times

NT 46 ------- LA Tech 38

 

11:04 to go

 

Ousmane is having a great all around game, but Tech is crawling back and starting to concern me here.

Being neutral would be the professional thing to do. He'll hopefully get better as time goes on.

La Tech is really missing this guy....he might want to have stayed another year or two.

Agreed. They should be able to now/scan ID and get in. I also thought we would be upgrading the entrances but I guess that never happened. They just closed some of them…

He has been dominating for their G-Leauge team. At least last time I checked. He is getting an NBA pay check and being given chances on a young competitive team. He is doing just fine.

Would like to see a dry spell from LT here the next several minutes 

[meangreanmick]

They have done a good job getting a big man up top on Perry this half’s making it tough to get a good 3 off.

We're holding on by our fingernails right now.

Then he needs to blow by them. That’s a solid switch if you wana get in the paint and if they collapse somebody is open for 3.
