Wisconsin (3/28/23)

[Pavlovs Eagle]

Why do we hate offensive rebounds?  Do we feel we're not fast enough to get back down the court against fast break teams?

They're shredding us inside and out.  We need to figure it out or it could be a long night.

[Matt from A700]

Hope their shooting doesn't get as hot as Villanova's got in 2021.

Probably has more to do with position of the offense players during the offense. Sissoko plays lower and is in better position. Usually these days nobody follows their shot and wings don’t follow the ball in. If a post player isn’t already there at all levels players are getting back in D most of the time.  

[Andrew]

What an absolutely atrocious call on the block by Hunstberry! Gives them two and stops our break…. Horrible ref!

I feel like I'm watching the Nova game all over again.

[Dr.R]

Yeah I don't think the approach of loosely covering Hepburn is gonna work when he's 5/5 from 3

[emmitt01]

This feels like the end of the season.

It is looking pretty familiar to that game so far 😞

[Andrew]

Refs making sure people know they exist tonight, but Wisconsin taking full advantage and not missing their shot's. They adapted. UNT needs to pick up the pace. Both teams playing a little quicker. Time to step it up green.

since when is a loose ball foul away from the ball on a made shot a side-out-of-bounds possession?

[RiseUNT]

How is an off the ball foul on a made basket possession and points? 

[Matt from A700]

Sissoko just standing around and cost us six points.

[Glory to the Green]

They’re hot from 3 and are getting the offensive rebounds.  Hoping we can settle down and chip away at the lead.  

[GMG_Dallas]

Well, hopefully he got all his 3s out the way and ends up closer to 39% by the end of the game. Hepburn is the one guy that really worried me.

[GrandGreen]

That announcing crew is hard to take.  Call the game, not give anecdotes about  something no one cares about. 

[MeanGreenMan09]

Where is our defense?

[RiseUNT]

First game where we really miss Abu

UW 38 -------- NT 29

Starting to find our footing a bit on defense.  Still...it's gonna be tough to win given they've already almost hit 40.

[Andrew]

Keep it within single digits and no bad fouls heading into half time and we might be able to claw back. 

[Marcelo]

How wasn't that counted as a 3 by TP? I didn't see his foot on the line?

[Censored by Laurie]

that was a good patch of play. get things down in the 5-ish point deficit range by half and you gotta kinda feel like you absorbed a bunch of punches, but are still standing.

At least they haven't said UNT's lucky to be here.

I thought live he didn't get back, but that shot they showed going into commercial looked like he did. that should be a thing reviewed in this break

ON said North Texas State, yet...unless I missed it.
