Game thread.

Can our Mean Green keep this momentum going?

8pm tip
Don Haskins Center, El Paso
ESPN+

Let's hope the heat is working inside Haskins. A short turn around coupled with a long trip and playing with no heat could be a problem. I still think we get it done, but those are tough circumstances.

I'm not crazy concerned about the heat, EP is going to be much more decent weather wise tomorrow. lows only get to 43

Was a bummer losing there to end the season last year. Hopefully we avenge that loss.

Looked great last night but if the UTEP announcers calling the game refer to him as slick, slippery, a real load, etc. I may go crazy after hearing it from the LA Tech guy with the gravely voice.

Yes.  He was very complimentary of NT, but hard to listen to.  He was also very much wanting NT and La Tech to continue this series after the conference change.

Game notes from UTEP Athletics:

"UTEP leads the series 11-9, with it knotted 7-7 since the Mean Green became a member of Conference USA."

Didn't see the foul on Ousmane.

 

[Glory to the Green]

This definitely feels like UTEP’s Super Bowl.  Just need to focus and play UNT ball. Slow start for us. 

[keith]

Shaky start.  Eliminate the turnovers. 

[Andrew]

Holy Crap this is the sloppiest I have seen us all year! 7 turn overs and 5 fouls in the first 8-9 minutes. Awful! 
 

Surprisingly the shooting percentage is great actually. 

[keith]

Sissoko plays a lot bigger than his 6’9” frame.  Like the way he’s developed this season. 

[UNTLifer]

Why was a UTEP police officer in the floor keeping Golden from getting T’d up a second time?

Back to normal CUSA officiating.  Ridiculous. 

[UNTLifer]

No disrespect to the young man, but why is Eady starting?

[emmitt01]

1) These are some serious homer announcers

2) UTEP’s coach is a hot head

1) Seriously 

2) Needs to be T’d up imo, Lol

[keith]

Watching this game, switching to updates on ESPN for the ladies and getting game updates for softball.  My phone is smoking’.  

[Greenrex]

Officiating double sucks. Both ways.

He was T’ed up. 

[97and03]

Can any of you basketball types explain why we let them roll the ball up the court almost to their 3 point line uncontested?

[TheColonyEagle]

What a crap first half
