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!

I didn't see his full interview, but I assume it was done beforehand and not actually live, which would have made it difficult to talk about anything related UNT.

I mean to start the half not the entire half.

Still not a good take.

[Censored by Laurie]

we've clearly made the decision that Christian Moore isn't ready to contribute, so without Rubin this team has two potential ball-handlers...Noland and Edwards. gonna have to live with some turnovers.

I hear you, but it’s business and he played it the right way. If he came off too proud and supportive of UNT, that could come back to bite him in irrational ways from Tech fans/admin…

For example, ”You lost because you love UNT too much!” and other ridiculous accusations. 
 

A positive shout out to UNT and shifting focus to his current team is exactly what he needed to do.

It feels like the pace is going more towards the Owls, but we're still keeping our nose in front.  This is just as intense as the game the other night.

FAU is really good with ball movement, creating wide open treys but also forcing our defense to shift to match-ups in their favor. We aren't giving them many good looks in the paint though.

I thought it was a great interview.  I didn't need him to talk about UNT, since it was about how his team is in first place of the Big 12.  Proud that he was our coach, left us in good shape, and happy for him at Tech.

Texas Tech’s coach talked exclusively about Texas Tech while being asked questions about his Texas Tech team??

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.

Who would like to bring off the bench to replace his scoring?

[TheColonyEagle]

Don’t like this pace picking up 

[TheColonyEagle]

Lots of easy looks for FAU this half. Way too many 

[GMG_Dallas]

Eventually Johnell Davis needs to be slowed down!

FAU 45 --------- NT 44

 

9:48 to go

 

Davis is killing us - not a shocker as a potential All-American.  Noland is keeping us in it.

[TheColonyEagle]

What are they 70%+ from the floor this half? 

[3_n_out]

Aaron Scott is apparently allergic to contact

[3_n_out]

CJ with the hot hand. Hopefully, we can squeeze more from those floaters. They’re working beautifully today. Now…about some help

[TheColonyEagle]

Davis is so freaking good. 

[outoftown]

honestly when  you see the replay with the elbow in the fact, maybe it is not highly intentional, but it still should have been called a flagrant

Buggs is 8-8 the past two games.

[Coffee and TV]

I'm very meh about any basketball game unless it's the Mean Green playing, and this is helping me a lot with football/soccer withdrawals.

NT 50 --------- FAU 49

 

7:12 to go

 

Buggs is providing a HUGE lift right now.

[outoftown]

Wow, that was a lot of funny misses on both soides in the space of 30 secs

[Coffee and TV]

Something is wrong with these rims, they're too tight. Both teams, both halves. 

[Andrew]

Walkers feet were set…. Even under the “new rule” that’s a charge to me. He couldn’t be much for set he was practically waiting when Golden got the ball….

[CMJ]

NT 57 --------- FAU 57

 

3:54 to go

 

Both teams making and missing big shots.  Gonna be all about heart now.
