Agreed, but this is a lose (if it happens) that  will look crappy to recruits and locals. 

Why? McNeese is a good team despite their record. If it doesn’t look good, it’s because of our offensive scheme.

refs are all over the place calling some ticky tack and then not calling an over the back, but offense needs to start making some shots.

Good teams find ways to win. I'm not saying we're bad by any means but this should have been a win.

Because most people are not going to go much further than the name McNeese State… For the same reason many people will simply shrug at the name North Texas.

Well dang. You're a pretty smart fella.

We’re getting a taste of our own medicine. Hard to get a good, clean shot. And, when we’re open, we’re missing the shots from guys we hope to carry us. The turnovers have killed us. 

[Green Lantern]

Pretty horrible close to the game.

I’m sure they can look back to the last game when we beat a Big 10 team.

another year, more bad @Andrew takes

[CMJ]

We led 58-57 and struggled to get anything the last 3 plus minutes to close it out.  That's the difference.

It's exhausting to claw back into a game. 19 in the first half put the writing on the wall. On to the next!

And now we have a big game on Thursday…

Disappointing finish to that one.  Hard to beat a team that gets to take 39 free throws.

Jossell was initiating things and led the push to get us back in the lead around the 5 min mark…and the for whatever reason Hodge pulled him. 
 

Players are gonna have bad nights…I can’t imagine Floyd will be that bad all season…but man I’m struggling with a lot of Hodge’s personnel and substitution decisions so far

[NTXDJ]

It's a little odd to see the 3pt% (36.4%) to be higher than the overall FG% (31.5%).  That's some bad offense.  FT% is really good, but you can't score all your points at the charity stripe.

Not hitting shots and officiating made that a tough watch. Just an all around gross game. 

[untjim1995]

Look, they split the road trip against two solid teams. Move forward and learn from it.

[Green Otaku]

I still wish we had a stronger home schedule. These types of games make you tough and you also see who is ready to step up out there.

[greenminer]

whelp.  sucks to lose but maybe MS is a R32 level team.

[Glory to the Green]

We lost to a good team.  We had our chances. Learn from it and move on.

OOC scheduling for games at the Supet Pit has always been surprisingly hard for us. Now that we are in the AAC, you would think we could get some decent names here beyond one good program a season.
