Hot early from the outside, especially Floyd.

 

Do you smell what the Rock is cooking ?

We seem to have more scoring options this year than in recent seasons.

Agreed nobody who has touched the floor seems awkward with the ball. Even Sissoko seems more in control. 

[GMG_Dallas]

Early observation: active on the offensive boards and we have several guys who can finish in the paint through contact. Trying not to get too excited but this team looks like they've been playing together for years.

[Big Z]

Just keep Stone on the bench

We're on something like a 18-2 run right now.

[Marty]

Still trying to figure out who's who but I like what I see so far.

Threes are falling like crazy.  We need to bottle this up for other games.  LOL.

Wayland Baptist might call in sick

Halftime

 

Promising opening half to the season.

[Censored by Laurie]

Wright and Floyd are exactly the ballers I was hoping they'd be...Massie might have more offensive game than I assumed...Lorient might be more than just an energy big. 

awesome start

[greenminer]

Just in terms of score differential, is this the best season opening 1H our program has ever seen?

I'm not sure...we've definitely blown people out before.

[Green Lantern]

Really encouraging start. Like the multiple offensive threats. Good spacing and pace. Still active and tenacious on the defensive side. Looking like a fun team to follow this season.

[Glory to the Green]

Whoa!  That was fun to watch!  The ball seemed to move around a bit more than I’ve been used to seeing. Our defense swarms.  Great first half!  

[Andrew]

Emmitt showing up late. We about to win by 80.

I’m really impressed by what I’ve seen so far. Offense seems to be more uptempo compared to previous years, but that’s probably because we have more than capable guys that can handle the rock, push the ball, shoot/finish. Definitely see more length and athleticism offensively and defensively. Exciting to watch

Cruise control right now.

Still hitting treys.  Can't wait to see how this team plays when they really jell.

Everyone hates on Stone. I am not related to Stone, but I feel the need to defend him. Stone has never said a bad word about North Texas. He didn't walk on, we recruited him. He has given us 100% and done what he can. I am hoping he proves all the haters wrong. He is a good person and didn't transfer to a lower level to get playing time. He has played the role we have asked and not complained. Can we please stop hating on him?

[3_n_out]

Massey is really athletic

Hard to keep the same sort of intensity when you're blowing someone out, and Evansville is trying to claw back.

Evansville now hitting some treys and pulling closer.
