I wasn't able to attach this picture while at the game because of the size.  Looks like a headband to me.

 

 

Nice, thanks for the clarification. 

[Big Z]

The spread is UNT -3 right now

Yep, that should do it.

This game is so important....we have to not only win but really need to play well. Feels like UAB is coming in HOT. Seems like the results are "meh" if we win and disaster if we lose. I see we're 56 in NET now with UAB in the 70s.

If we win we're "supposed to" if we lose it could be disaster. Problem is the qualitative pieces of this matchup are outweighing the quantitative.

Need to go out and play really well tonight.

You almost made it to the important part!

The women are already playing, it seems like UAB has a pretty good crowd of grade school-aged kids. Ladies up by a few midway through the third quarter.

Losing tonight won't be a disaster, disappointing, yes. We are playing for tournament seeding right now. If UAB finishes as the number 2 or 3 seed, the only advantage for us would be a lower seeded team in the first round. Not sure it makes that much difference. We will have the "home" court advantage. I agree that playing well, and staying healthy, is the most important thing. A win tonight could all but lock up the number 2 seed so there is something to play for. Go Mean Green!

This is it. It's all about seeding for the tournament. CUSA will only get 2 bids if FAU loses in the championship or doesn't make it.

This game essentially "counts as 2" because we win, we are up on UAB by 3 games with a pretty easy schedule left. If we lose, they close within 1. 

Bottom line...just win, baby, win!

Their best player is back, they’re getting on a roll. Will want some pay back from a few weeks ago. They’re playing for seeding. All things I would call “qualitative” and things that will make tonight difficult. 
 

none of that is taken into account on the NET ratings (quantitative) etc which gives them a lower rating than they may have shown if you just look at what they’ve done since Jelly came back. 
 

Come on man!

 

[outoftown]

This is an important game, because it does lots for NT to ascertain an NIT at large bid if it doesn't win the conference tournament. A loss on the other hand could really eat up all the margin for error real quick

[FirefightnRick]

From last week against UTEP.  Maybe I’ll bring it again toright?

So, in a nutshell, we have to beat the point thread to keep our NET?

I know Firefighten Rick but who are the other two gentlemen?   Especially the "piece of work" in the middle.

More offense than I anticipated early.  Good start.

 

[UNTLifer]

Force Jemison to his left and force Walker to play defense. Need to wear him out on the defensive end.

Huntsberry very active for us so far.

[MeanMag]

Player uniforms are too similar. It’s disorienting.

We're making hay at the stripe so far.  Students seem into it.  Nice to see.

We were on a 9-0 run before the Blazers got a bucket.

Jones playing well.  Perry needs to find his stroke.
