Double dribble is pretty much no longer an infraction.

[CMJ]

FIU 26 -------- NT 25

 

Halftime

 

Nice that Ousmane is playing so well today, we'll need it to continue after the break.

[NT80]

We look tired.

At least the commentators seem more non-biased in this game.  

Fun factoid they gave out:  NT is an older-aged team, with only 3 teenagers on it.  NBA Spurs have 5 teenagers.

[meanrob]

Still a ton of passing around the perimeter. If a team has a big they can cover Ousmane with, they just concentrate on the perimeter. Not sure what the solution is, in a perfect world Huntsberry would drive more and avg about 15-18 a game and keep teams more honest.

One would think it would mean we are not only smarter/more veteraned, but also better built bodies for the game. Idk if that seems true with our guys.

We used to drive to draw fouls and get our best free throw shooters to the line.  We have gotten away from earning fouls.

Panthers carving up our defense.

Everything FIU throws up is going in.

Big trey blunts their momentum.

Had a tough time taking it inside, getting blocked twice.  

[RBTX]

Guess you can take a guy out at the knees in CUSA

[p_phelps]

CUSA refs are the worst in every sport

Things are starting to look grim.  Need to string together some stops. 

[Venson]

This is not looking good.

Huntsberry carrying us on offense down the stretch.

[emmitt01]

I never doubted us

[untbowler]

Ousmane lucky to not get a charge with the shoulder to the chin, then still misses the lay up. SMDH!!

Wow these officials are bad.

<Make up your damn mind one way or the other. Good grief

Big 3 by Martinez, hold down the fort

[p_phelps]

TP has been talking to Hamlet!

[untbowler]

Love Coach McC constantly coaching and getting the guys into position.

NT 64 -------- FIU 57

 

Final

[meanrob]

Nicely gutted out win. 

Wonder if it was emphasized that others had to step up on offense. Huntsberry and Ousmane ended up with 13 apiece.

 

 

[GMG_Dallas]

Gritty win. I'll take it.

Martinez had 13, too. I believe he's our 2nd best "volume" 3 point shooter after Perry. Would be nice to get him more looks.

[Marty]

whew! got out of that with a win. GMG.
