UAB (1/21/23)

[GrandGreen]

Big time win despite those awful gray uniforms.  I don't understand why any team uses gray instead of white, particularly when the school colors include white.   I wish NT would burn the gray or use them only as practice uniforms. 

Glad to see Sissoko get any minutes.  Much better imo substitute for Ousmane than smaller forwards in a lot of game situations.  

Good game for Perry, as they keyed their defense to stopping him, but he made two clutch threes at the end of the game.  Worrisome game with both Scott and Ousmane getting into early foul trouble. 

I am not sure UAB is a significantly better team with Jelly.  He is going to get his points, but they are very predictable on offense with him on the court.

Do they bother? I’ve heard their NIL money is really good.

That’s an appropriate response as well.

You guys can kid around all you want but there have been several legitimate reports of the PAC 12 and Big 12 considering SMU as a component of their expansion plans.  It is becoming evident that we will not be staying in the AAC for very long.   I know it is a big step up for you guys and I do wish you well in the AAC.

Talk to us when you get a tourney win.

If SMU was leaving , they would have already said goodbye.

In all honesty…. No way. UNT, UTSA, SMU, Rice all in the same boat. SMU doesn’t have anything to offer the rest of them don’t already have.

Ok, roomie. 

 

 

And good bounce back game vs an underperforming and talented UAB team.

Just got home to read about the game.  Looks like the defense was back to our normal standards.  Quality win.

The SWC also called for you.   No, wait, it was the SWAC, my bad!

Why do lower tier teams come on here?...if you haven't won at least 12 games don't bother to come over here and talk trash...we are never in the Mood(y) for it.

This aged well.

We must figure out offense in the last 5 minutes of the game and stop Luka / Tylor gazing. 

This did not. As much as I enjoyed this win, I can't look past the fact we went on ANOTHER 5:30 min scoring drought at the end of the game. If it were a better team, we would have had a chance to lose.

I am not sure what is going on at the end of the games, but we need to figure it out before the CUSA tourney.

Screw Smuckers. They blocked me on Twitter because I kept trolling them to bring back their jelly beans.

You've posted this before (I think it was you) and I thought you were just being a wise guy....but now I'm starting to think you actually believe that.
