UAB (3/10/23)

[meangreenacct]

Also we seem to be struggling with the physicality of the game. Refs are letting them play and we are not able to handle it. Need to focus on getting game back within 8 or so by the 8 min time out and hopefully close by the half.

What is up with the shot selection?

UAB 16 -------- NT 2 

 

11:21 to go

 

It's still early, so we can't panic.  Need to shore up the defense first.  Obviously we need to hit shots too, but UAB is super hot right now.

[Greendylan]

This feels a whole lot like the semifinal loss last season.

[glick1980]

At this point I’m about to turn this shit off.

Well, not to be a debbie downer... But it's clear that Walker's mission is to clearly take his POY award back with his play on the court. 

With that, you think we'll host an NIT round again?

I do think we'd host an NIT game should we end up there.

We’re getting completely destroyed in every single part of this game. 
 

Offense, defense, hustle, coaching, they want it more, aggressiveness, energy

WTF has happened 14-2 down to start the game. WOW

Didn’t plan effectively. At this point I would let Christian Moore and Sissko (spelling..?) play. These guys are bogging the offense down and UAB isn’t going to stop.

Too early. I trust that this team can climb back into a game.

Normally, I would agree. Players like Jelly typically don't let oppoents climb back in. When he's agressive and knockin shots down, he has national poty talent.

Yeah we’re being completely outclassed today. UAB wants it so much more.

Was that a mascot pun? 

[meangreenacct]

When Walker is shooting like this we have 0 shot.

At this point it's a lot worse. We weren't getting blown out.

[TheColonyEagle]

I don’t know if if I’ve ever seen a single player own us the way Walker has so far today. We can’t stop him 

[TexHammer1983]

Well this is just brutal. Just an incredibly disappointing showing. No two ways about it.

[MeanGreenMan09]

5.9% fg percentage is just pathetic...

[glick1980]

Sad and embarrassing 

[C Rod]

We’re down 22-2 and are 1/18 from the field. I don’t know what to say other than this is so North Texas.  

[glick1980]

2 points!

[outoftown]

wow. I did think it  could only get better after the first 7 minutes. But it has only gotten worse.

[CMJ]

UAB 22 -------- NT 4 

 

7:40 to go

 

Their defense is hounding us.  We're also missing some easy shots which makes it worse.
