I am thinking more Martinez and Scott.  Moore won't see the court unless this is a blowout, which I would be shocked to see.

If I'm UAB I'm trying to get him out of the game as quickly as possible and force us to go deeper into our bench early.

And if I'm Coach Grant McCasland I already know this and have a counter measure.

The thing about Sissoko is that he doesn't commit the silly foul like Abou has in the past.  I am not trying to discredit Abou, but he could miss a shot on one end and then hustle back and try to make up for the miss with a block or a good defensive play where he gets caught reaching and committing the silly foul.  I haven't see that with Sissoko.

The other option has been Martinez and his role on offensive appears to be float outside pulling the opponent's big man out with him.

Scott had a big game last time out. Would love to see him go off tomorrow. I’m a huge fan of his game!

Stone doesn’t have the size of Sissoko, but man that kid doesn’t back down from ANYONE!  He’ll pester they’ll bigs…if needed.

How about a break out last career game for Martinez? Gotta draw their bigs away from the basket to open the drives.

[UNTLifer]

Martinez just needs to find his range.  Too many shots were front or back rim.  He'll be good tomorrow.

This. 

His stroke is nice. Once he finds his range, as you said, he could really do damage.

Harry, 

I'm really happy for Coach Burton, but given what has transpired over the past week, could we have a more relevant picture up top?

Pep band will be at the game! Should make the atmosphere better. Flew out today I was told.

Interesting.  Saw them at the game last night.  Are we adding to the ones already there?

That was actually UNLV's band.

I'm glad they are getting a chance to go. I sat right behind the UNLV pep band that were dressed in UNT polos and noticed they had UNLV Pep Band written out on their cover to their music. 

I thought it was pretty shit for us not to send our own. Kudos to them though

That was not our band. They paid members from UNLVs band to play for us at the game and gave them green shirts.  The pep band left today.

Yes. The cost of sending them took a bit longer than they expected to work out.

I’m having nightmares of my biggest championship heartbreak.  Benny Anders Rubin outstretched finger tips .  Jelly / Whittremburg throwing up a prayer….. Lorenzo Charles / KJ Buffen….noooooo!!!  Someone help me ! 

[CMJ]

Solomon Bozeman is who gives me championship nightmares.

Flight booked and tickets bought. I have work Friday, but I'm doing a whirlwind trip to see this game.

I would be shocked if anything like that happened again.  That's just not something that we are equipped to normally allow.
