@ UTEP (2/18/2023)

[Green Lantern]

Glad Stone was able to come back in overtime with several big plays to make up for the missed box out at the end of regulation. They just find a way to win.

The bench came up huge in this game. Lets Go Mean Green!!!

[GrandGreen]

Stone gets game ball.

Perry comes through when needed.

Huntsberry continues to shine.

Sissoko best game?

Eady with critical free throws in OT

Ousmane beneficiary of some very questionable foul calls

Jones with another solid game

 

El Paso is a hard place to play and they were super tough tonight

[Talon90]

We need to win out which I think we can.  

We need FAU to lose two more games.  I just don't see that happening.

Every time you all don’t let CMJ do the game thread, weird crap happens. Got lucky tonight, but better knock it off before March.

I should be back to Los Angeles before our next game - LOL.

[Green Otaku]

Terrible reffing all around. Can't even fight for the ball without getting it called a foul. The technical really made the refs whistle happy.

I love this team .  My future cardiologist will love this team.

Good thing it is went to over- time so we could cover the spread.😯lol

Great road trip. Go Mean Green!

Handshakes and high fives 🖐 

23 wins 🏆

I’m sure this was covered at some point but what is Martinez’s obvious lingering injury??

I haven't been thinking about trying to get the 1 seed.  I think it's wild to suggest this FAU team is going to lose the games we would need for that to happen.  I've just been hung up on holding serve at the 2.

I get it though: it would be nice to be opposite FAU and UAB.

At-large bid hopes still alive but I want more.

We all know our only real chance is winning the conference tournament. Big conferences will always get the at large spots. It sucks but maybe going to the AAC will help. Just keep getting better.

This team is deeper than we’ve had in the past and that’s a really good thing for us coming down the stretch.

The way FAU is playing of late, Rice and LaTech could both beat them if they play up to their potential.

Can someone explain why Martinez was benched for this game?

Has been dealing with a bad back and Sussoko is playing really well lately. I think he'll make a difference in some games in Frisco. Just need to get him 100% healthy.

he's been suffering with back issues.

I've personally always found back injuries to be the most unpredictable...sometimes treatment works and you can give 20 minutes, sometimes it doesn't and everything starts seizing immediately. feel bad for Martinez

This. I bent over once to pick up a piece of paper and could barely move for about a week. I don't know what triggered it, but I was in so much pain it was unbearable.

Probably not, however they can be beat on the road and have to play at Ruston and Houston.

NT should win out, with two at home and at Charlotte. I 

It would be nice to get a co-championship, but it doesn't make much difference in the tournament seedings

I don't see much advantage in whether NT is in the same bracket as UAB or MTSU at this time.
