[MeanGreenMan09]

With that Huntsberry layup we are at a whopping 10 fg%...

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

I wish we were as motivated as they are

Well yeah . . . now it's way worse.  This has entered historically bad territory.

Excellent historic season. Amazing start to the tournament with adjustments/game plan/change of pace…. Pathetic game today with the same old muck ball UAB has already seen over and over. Pathetic game plan and either way zero execution. Tough to watch, but hopefully we can somehow climb back a little more before the half,  but we are going to have to pick up the pace and play much tougher defense. 

[Green P1]

Glad I shut down the job site early so my guys could watch this game…

[GMG_Dallas]

Don't know why but I think we'll climb back. Outside of Walker, they're not doing much better.

[TheColonyEagle]

Dammit. Do we have fight?! Get mad!!!!

[TheColonyEagle]

Hitting shots in front of our bench and jawing at us. 

[TheColonyEagle]

Just have to hope to get the lead to single digits at the half. All we can do. 
 

my gosh. Offensive rebound UAB. I can handle the off shooting. Can’t handle getting out hustled. That’s the worst part.

get it to about ten in this half, and it can be done.

Also, if UAB keeps fouling like that, there will be additional problems for them.

Our D has been great to end the year. We can't go toe to toe offensively with them. I know some don't like our style but we need to really ugly this game up. Make it the most boring, awful basketball game we've ever watched. I want UAB fans to hate basketball after this game. Get in Jelly's jock and stay there the whole game until he cries....

 

[UNTLifer]

Brewer, Jemison, Lovan and Gaines all with 2 fouls.  Need to keep plugging away and get a couple of these guys in early second half foul trouble.

[UNTLifer]

Single digits by half and it is game on.

[outoftown]

Sissoko having more minutes than Ousmane so far. And with how they both played in this game, that is the way it should be.

[MattDamon23]

I just turned the game back on after nearly throwing my laptop through a wall....if we start sucking again I'm turning the game off because at that point clearly I'm the problem 

[TheColonyEagle]

We have got to get these loose balls 

[CMJ]

UAB 35 -------- NT 28

 

Halftime

 

We had this down to five, but had a TERRIBLE last minute or so.

 

I don't wanna throw anyone too far under the bus, but some of you need to look at yourselves for basically giving up on this game so early.  It's not like we were down 20 midway through the second half.

[untbowler]

2 straight fouls on Jones gives UAB 5 FT's in less than 3 seconds, SMH!!!

[TheColonyEagle]

That layup at the buzzer feels like it’s gonna end up being important

Consider it done lol. 7 point game at the half.

[UNTLifer]

Got it to within seven at the half, which after our horrid start, is nothing short of a miracle.  Walker is all they have going right now.  We can do this.

To be fair - the last one wasn't a great call, Walker basically just put his head down and ran through him.

[Andrew]

Good finish to the half once we picked it up a bit, but UAB getting all the 50/50 balls, a bit of luck, and a few calls at the end. Could have easily only been down 2.

Two terrible calls. Walker leaned into the 3 and was pushing though Jones on the inbounds.
