FAU (1/28/24)

TheColonyEagle · January 28

Have to keep forcing our pace. Squeeze the life out of every possession. Theyre going to make little runs. Have to not let them extend them.

Quite a few early fouls and most could have been avoided. Hopefully we don’t send them to the line much the last 7 minutes. Play smart and slow the pace down.

NT 24 --------- FAU 21

3:27 to go

We recovered from their mini-run and have turned this back into our sort of game. Hitting some big shots with time running out too.

RBTX · January 28

Last minute seems a bit one sided.

outoftown · January 28

too bad they didn't review that out of bounds before, where FAU immediately turned that into a 3. Was clearly off of FAU

We've given up 7 easy points off in bounds from underneath their own basket. Gotta fix that in the 2nd half.

Travis · January 28

I really want to see a more in control Edwards.

NT 28 --------- FAU 26

Halftime

Good half by both squads.

NorthTexasWeLove · January 28

Edwards has to play off the ball more. Dude is careless.

MeanGreen22 · January 28

Halftime couldn’t have come at a better time. Need Jason to settle down.

Yeah, we didn’t get anything going on the last two offensive possessions…luckily we stood up on the defensive end.

I expect a BIG push by FAU to start the 2nd half

Very good halftime score. Keep it up green.

Venson · January 28

I will be the first to admit that I am no basketball guru. I really didn't learn much about the game until I started watching the Mean Green, but Edwards seems to not be a great ball handler. He loses the ball so much.

TheColonyEagle · January 28

If we could pick how a first half would go defensively….thats what we would’ve picked.

gotta do it for 20 more minutes.

Jonnyeagle · January 28

I mean gee whiz guys, they are up two on the road at the half against a top 25 team. You all make it sound like we are struggling.

Travis · January 28

I hope they find a way to get Buggs involved in the second.

Careful everyone, pointing out miscues by Edwards will have @HoosMeanGreen on here telling us how this basketball program didn’t really exist until he arrived

CMJ · January 28

I feel like if we can do a similar job defensively in the second, we'll score enough to win.

Tom McKrackin · January 28

Jason needs to hit the bench in the second half. Way too many turnovers. I think we owe it to him or he will never get better at it.

Bench our leading scorer in the game?

On a side note: Its nice to be on ESPN2 rather than some channel only streamers care about. Also not minding seeing Grant McCasland during the break

Yes but it wouldn’t have hurt Grant to talk up UNT a little more than he did. The man in on halftime of a UNT game and he acted like it was all about Texas Tech!
