Thankfully the Miners are struggling from behind the arc.  We've missed at least five layups today.   Sissoko with some nice minutes for us.

Seems like every game we miss several layups

NT 40 -------- UTEP 34

 

7:49 to go

 

 

Huntsberry with a huge trey and then a Scott put back give us a bit of breathing room after almost a five minute drought.

NT 44 -------- UTEP 36

 

4:11 to go

 

 

And eight point in this game feels like fifteen.  Getting a good feeling now.

NT 48 -------- UTEP 36

 

2:42 to go

 

 

About ready to call it.

Hank just said in the Last 10 minutes of the last 10 games. The Mean Green have been Outscored 189-39

189-39

I had to rewind it and make sure I heard that right. 
 

can that be right?

That doesn't sound right.  That would be averaging 3.9 points per game in the last 10 minutes. 
Maybe he meant 189-139?

Or maybe I’m going senile

Wonder what the deal was with Ousmane today?

He couldn't stay on the court and was outplayed by his counterpart.

[CMJ]

We get a week off to get ready for Rice.  Huge game that we need to separate ourselves safely for the 2 seed.

With his skill level, it's gotta be more than that.  When good players start posting that many goose-eggs, there's either a physical problem, or his head ain't right with ball. 

[Green Otaku]

I've got to give Abu some slack, a lot of those fouls looked like nothing. The guy couldn't even look at someone without getting a foul. One the other hand the minutes he was in he didn't do much, he needs to shake off these last few games and get back to scoring. Scott also got called on a couple that looked like they had zero contact. 

It was good seeing Sissoko in there. Since we actually got to see him in there I like that he looks unmovable when posting up. I hope he can develop a hook shot because he could be huge if he can. 

[UNT Family Man]

Sissoko looked great!!! Glad to see him get some minutes. 
 

Morris could use him as a D End.

I feel good about this W.  Also glad that Sissoko got minutes playing well. 

Rice got blown out by UAB and MTSU looking bad against FIU.

He has essentially been a liability on offense and mediocre on defense. The problem is, we don't have a good replacement (which says a lot) and that is honestly the problem in hanging with really good teams.

Handshakes and high fives 🖐

18 wins ✅️

Dude I like your posts usually, but I gotta call bullshit on this one.  Ousmane is the reason we are so dangerous in G5.  He is a P5 level post.

[meanrob]

18-5

8-2 in our last ten and only UTSA is a bad team during that stretch. 
 

Eight conference games left, none are gimmes.

Mac and the team climbed up into the student section after the game.
