Mavericks went on a 7-0 run to take their first lead briefly.  We countered with a run ourselves and things settled back into our kinda game.

Scott already in double figures.  Mavericks hitting their free throws keeping them within shouting distance.

Was hoping we would be up 20 at half…. Disappointed so far, but no matter what going 2-0 heading into the Charleston Classic will look good.

Hitting on all cylinders now.

NT 42 -------- Omaha 26

 

Halftime

 

Defense is keeping the Mavericks shooting under 40% and offense is scoring.  So far, so good.

It's a 16 point lead... is that not good?

Man we look good!

I think his runny nose from having to walk the other night is clouding his judgement.

We park by the tunnel since we have had season tickets for 25 years or so. Celery couldn’t read in the last thread?

Mavericks clawing their way back.

NT better get more interested in this game, looks like they are getting out hustled by an inferior team.

Sissoko taking over down low.

NT 58 -------- Omaha 45

This second half has really dragged...feels like pulling teeth now.

NT 64 -------- Omaha 55

Defense now really has to step up and take us home.

[Andrew]

Nice little quick 4 point sequence there. Should pretty much out it away and hopefully we can keep the double digit lead. Was hoping for a 30-40 point blowout, but a win is a win heading into the tournament next week. 

[Marty]

Light the tower!

not pretty but a win.

Final

[GrandGreen]

Uninspired, unimpressive win.

Defense still needs work but I think that’ll come as this team gets time to gel. Feels like A Scott needs to be the focal point on offense. He’s scoring at all 3 levels in the first 2 games. 

[Jonnyeagle]

Great win!  These guys are just damn winners.

[NorthTexasWeLove]

Pace of play feels much faster, though I'm not sure what the analytics say. D isn't as fresh and therefore not as focused and clamped. Taking from Peter to give to Paul, and that's OK. Unlike with football, I actually trust this coaching staff to make sound and competent decisions. 

[HoustonEagle]

Better than last years first two games.  This team just needs to gel and they can be great.

That team on paper (I saw different live) was supposed to be horrible. See ya in Charleston.
