Because Edwards isnt a PG...he's a shooting guard that wants to score 20 every night.  Need a PG who can handle the ball and pressure and Moore is the next best ball handler we have.  Everyone else wh

Abou had 16 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 blocks for Xavier in a 20 point win over Seton Hall.  I'd like to know the whole story behind that "family emergency" last spring.

Hate the date of this game. Need to win these last two nonconference games. But I fear there'll be less than 500 people there. Does the band/dance/cheer perform over Christmas Break? UNT people,

Kinda scratchy start to this half.

Yeah it's the same issue as other games, too dependent on the 3 where we're 0-4 in the second half. If it's not an open 3 point shot, we can't consistently generate offense. Definitely problematic.

Every season there are a two or three games that really have the ability to pivot your season one way or the other.  IMHO, this is one of those.  Get a W and we may be able to get this campaign straightened out in the way we want.  Should we lose, I'll be concerned about our ability to get our heads on right for the league slate.

So far a good pivot! Walker is an elite on ball defender. I’m not sure in all my years watching UNT we’ve had a better one.  I’m fairly young but been watching since I started school in 2009

I say this and the Rubin gets a tough basket to go through contact.

Build the lead up more in the 2nd half then let the bench get in on the action.

No. This team needs time together. Drop the hammer.

NT 67 -------- UTA 40

 

6:59 to go

 

Hopefully we can bottle up some of this for league play in a couple of weeks.  When we have all these shots going in from everyone, we'd be very tough to defeat.

Wow, for one of our beat games of the season, this thread was dead! Guess fans were on Christmas break too!!

With that said, this was the most complete game against a team that hung around with TTech. 

The BBall threads during games have been dead for a while (like about the last 4 games). I don't know where everyone goes during games. This one was at least a home game.

We were at the game. At least for most of it. Just bummed we lost to Fordham. Everything else was fine but that took the wind out the sails.

Yes, but it had started even before Fordham, also with some away games.

This was a great result. And i would like to think everything is better now. But looking at the stat sheet I can't help but notice that the SIssoko of last season is still nowhere to be found on offense. In 19 minutes he was 0/0 from the field, and 0/0 from the stripe, with 1 assist. Was not a problem today. But it needs to be addressed because it will be a problem again, and was a problem multiple times this season, where 1-2 baskets more from him would have changed the outcome.

It was a win against a team they were supposed to beat.  That said, the team was way to dependent on shooting the 3, they ran the exact same play every time, and even when UTA would pressure the perimeter UNT struggled to find ways inside.  They did get away with some sloppy play, particularly while in bounding the ball and under the basket, AAC teams will punish sloppy play.  One trend I am liking is the rebounding on both sides of the floor and the way the guards are playing on defense.

I think there's just fan disappointment with the early season results. Lost by 1 to St John, ok fine. Then lost to a mediocre LSU team after having a small lead late in the second half which sucked. Then you blow two leads to Boise State and Fordham. Felt like all 4 of those should have been wins but we didn't capitalize on any. We played in a good early season tournament and didn't capitalize. We've watched low major and mid major schools left and right come up with big wins early this season but none came by us. I get losing Tylor Perry but other teams have surely lost players as well and even then, less talented rosters have figured out ways to get upset wins but we haven't. Getting blown out by Mississippi State also doesn't help.

Yes, the post position must become more involved in the scoring.   We need both an inside and outside game.   When our 3-pointers are not falling or facing tough defense on the outside then Sissoko (0 points) and Allen (1 point) will be counted on.    Time to practice it is in these lopsided games.

      Would be interesting to see their offense vs our defense.

      Honest tactical question here…

      Morris has his scheme and identity. I think its a big reason we've had so much offensive success the last two year and I don't want him to change it. BUTTTTTTTT I do think he needs to improve his situational awareness and I'll give 3 examples... 1. Late in the FAU game we broke the 34 yard run to get to the FAU 5 with 1:43 left...at this point the clock is on our side and we should run it down and force FAU to burn their timeouts. But instead, Morris has us run to the line and snap the ball before any time can run after they reset the chains. Luckily, FAU stuffed us and eventually burned their timeouts and we scored with 58 seconds left. But imagine if we scored after the big run and gave FAU the ball back with 1:40 and 2 timeouts? Who would feel good about our chances stopping them then??? 2. Our defense shocks everyone and forces Tulane to punt on their first drive. Tulane then executes a great punt and downs it at the 6. We then come out and throw a pass for -1 yards, no huddle and quickly throw an incomplete pass, and on 3rd down its another incomplete pass. So, we're forced to punt the ball from our own 5 yard line after only having the ball for about 25 seconds. Evans has a measly 39 yard punt and 7 plays later Tulane scores a TD. IMO, its a prime example of Morris not understanding the situation and putting his defense right back on the field in a tough spot. Instead of quickly snapping after the -1 yard loss, we should have slowed down and made sure we called the best play to get us a first down. 3. And like others have said, it PISSES me off he refuses to run QB sneaks under center when we need less than a yard. You can make the case its a big reason we lost to Navy last year and it cost us this year against Army. I'd much rather Chandler Morris fall forward for a foot than snap it back 5 yards and hand it to our 5th string RB. There are other teams like us that strictly run shotgun, but are still able to lineup under center and fall forward. The only reason we don't is Coach Morris' ego.

      Hes 73 and will not coach forever... That said, if you can bring him in and have him coach just a couple seasons to get the program on the right track before retiring and handing it off to someone he has trained as his replacement.
