[El Paso Eagle]

35-19 Half

We could/should have another 8-10 points. Very good defensive half

Huntsberry and Scott look incredible. Exuding confidence. 

Yes, excellent.  Wish we had Huntsberry back for next season.

Halftime

Excellent half of basketball.

At what point do we start thinking about resting starters for tomorrow?  20 point lead and 10 minutes left?

[El Paso Eagle]

Maybe it's the camera,s but when they get the cut in on the other game, that court is much brighter looking.

Maybe 20+ point lead at the under eight media timeout.

Perhaps. We have always assumed worst case scenario giving up 3 points per 45 seconds (in college). So 15 point lead you could do around 4 minutes. That’s the absolute worst case scenario. I would do last 5 minutes up by 15 or more.

The Flying Scott-sman!

[NT80]

Scott is playing like a beast!

15:45 to go

 

Playing at a faster pace tonight.  Perhaps to take advantage of the Bulldogs' tired legs.

I was wondering. I thought we might have increased the  Ayer tonight against UAB just to change it up, but this is nice because we are still keeping up the defensive intensity.

It’s perfect. I like they the audience is essentially blacked out. Well lit for television. The pit and other places always tend to have too many lights over the fans.

Getting really nice separation now.  Crush it for another four minutes or so to take their heart, and then coast home.

At the 12:00 mark of the first half they showed a close up of one of the Bulldogs and he was already breathing heavy. Thought that was a good sign. 

[UNTLifer]

I was critical of Eady earlier this year, but he was big against WKU and has been big tonight. Great D, knocks down the open shot and just plays smart solid ball.

9:28 to go

 

About ready to call Church on this one.

[meanrob]

Somebody start pumping me up for tomorrow, I’m already nervous. 

[NT80]

Rice only down to UAB by 7.

[Tom McKrackin]

I hate to get emotional, but I am just very very proud of this team right now.

NT 60 -------- LA Tech 37

 

7:59 to go

 

Cruising now.  Starting to eye the score in the other game.

[Andrew]

Just about time to empty the bench and burn some clock. 

[CMJ]

NT 69 -------- LA Tech 43

 

3:30 to go

 

A lot of fouls, sloppy play, and stoppages that segment.  Seems like the end of this game is taking forever.

[Danish43]

Let get the bench in. Get starters out.

[GMG_Dallas]

Christian Moore for 3!!!
