Unbelievable game!  Our guys never quit despite being so exhausted. Scott, Huntsberry and Perry refused to back down.  It’s quite something to watch your team take a breath and bare down like that.  E

Hell of a college basketball game! First - hats off to UAB. Man they are a good team.

Team win. Just played gritty and never gave up. Kai really came up big.

GREAT atmosphere in the Pit! Kudos to the fans for being a factor late in the 2nd half on. Best feel in the Super Pit since last season.

the ball movement on that shot was awesome...really hard to foul after they crossed the midcourt.  

But you can foul anyone in that situation.  It doesn't have to be the ballhandler; in fact better to foul their worst free throw shooter!

That's not generally what you do though, because let's say they hit both free throws.  Then they foul immediately  You hit one of two...they have a chance to win the game with about 6 seconds to go.

 

 

And scoff all you want - i have seen that exact scenario play out.  You wait as long as possible to give the foul.  And if they're in a terrible situation (say 30 feet from the basket) you play if out.

I like my odds with Perry shooting free throws.

I'm sure UAB did too with Jelly Walker at the line a minute earlier (he actually came into tonight with a better free throw percentage), but he missed one.  Take as few chances as possible when you can.  The free throw to put us up three went through with 22 seconds to go.  That is way, way too early to start fouling.

Official attendance: 3873. Felt like more and was pretty loud late into the game and especially in the two overtime sessions. 

I hope more make it to the Saturday game. This team deserves it.

Great win to gut this one out. At first I thought our guys were leaving people open and not closing down, but after paying more attention their guards are just insanely fast. You can tell emotions were running high, Perry was really wanting to hit those 3s and was frustrated. I keep saying it, Scott is like Rodman, just 100% effort every minute. Huntsberry is really starting to come into his own and find his role. Sissoko continues to get minutes and gain confidence. You build and grow from these games, and Mac is the kind of coach to stress that. GMG!

My heart hurts.  My neck is tight.  This team, man.  GMG!

 

This game, this team is too intense for me.  I couldn’t take the double overtime pressure.  I can’t take it, man!

Best quotes about UNT basketball from UAB fan board:

They're everything that we aren't - calm, cool, collected, poised, surgical, precise, clean with the ball, and function well as a collective unit.

What does North Texas do? They set college basketball back fifty years with their deliberately slow tempo. They are dead last (363rd) in tempo. The best time to use the restroom, while watching a North Texas game, is while they have the ball. You won’t miss a damn thing!

Win or lose you just know its going to be a frustrating game to watch. No one uglies up a game like North Texas.

McCasland is the best coach in CUSA. His teams impose their will against us every time.

McCasland out coaches AK… we fall for their style of play hook line and sinker every. Single. Time. We don’t seem to do anything to adjust. Every game against UNT is an ugly, recurring nightmare.

Im starting to think we would be better off getting the 4 seed and avoiding UNT until the finals, if we even make it that far.

Really don’t like the strategy of trying to be better at North Texas ball than North Texas.

Unbelievable game!  Our guys never quit despite being so exhausted. Scott, Huntsberry and Perry refused to back down.  It’s quite something to watch your team take a breath and bare down like that.  Every shot contested, every rebound with a hand on it, every loose ball with someone diving for it.  That’s Mac and Hodge ball right there.

And I loved seeing Super Pit staff having to hold their ears from the noise at the end.  And I agree this was the best reffed game of the year.  Had we had this crew against FAU we win easily.  
 

BTW…I went up on campus before the game and saw the Talons cruise by in the Green Machine Model A towing an NT Battle Flag and screaming through a bull horn reminding those walking through campus to get to the Pit. Great move on their part.

1980-era Talons used to do that with the Spirit Bell (Not sure if it made it to the new Union, but it used to be displayed there). Rang the bell and went through campus calling out the Green.

      That’s very impressive. Let’s NIL their director.

      The Band

      Thats fantastic. They should have their own unique uni's with their school colors. Or at least have some sort of insignia on their NT uniforms. I have written MANY TIMES to the school of music expressing my concerns about the Green Brigade. Daniel Cook actually ask me to watch a practice where they debuted the North Texas fanfare. Something that he either composed himself or had someone in the school of music compose. Daniel (Dr?) Cook inherited a pretty crappy version of the Green Brigade. The most significant change he made was the fanfare. The rest is CRAP. The Band is unwieldy and bloated, and the best word (besides crap) to describe the pre-game show is "perfunctory". They just go through the (musical) motions. At the Army game, as the Band was at mid-field playing the fight song I stood up and did the traditional clapping along with the band, but I kept yelling "TEMPO! TEMPO! GET THE DAMN TEMPO UP! Get to the middle of the field with energy and forgodsakes STOP PLAYING THE "AMERICAN EMBLEM MARCH". That is Junior High stuff. THIS is what a College Band looks like......or is SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE. This is the closest thing to what the North Texas Band used to look like in the 60's-early 70's, under the late, great Maurice McAdow........only the McAdow Bands played better than these guys. But everything else (including the Uniforms) were pretty much the same. So I ask, do they have more talented musicians than us? Do they have more pride than us? I'm interested in hearing from "letsgiveacheer" about this.
