Bam!!! Light that tower!

[rojomojo]

That did not look pretty... Why would you set up a play to have him shoot if he's been playing like ass all night? Incredible that it went in though

because he's the best shooter on the team. you trust your best players. hopefully that confidence carries forward and he starts to become the consistent scorer we anticipated

Does anybody have a consistent offensive game in our team right now? Constant turnovers and missed shots. We can turn it around. Plenty of time. 

Lorient.  And he should be starting over Sissoko.

I'll tell you what...if Hodge actually drew that up with Atin as the primary to take the last shot, that's some fantastic coaching. I think it's pretty clear that he's been inconsistent, but has the best pedigree of anyone on our roster and is probably going to carry us at times offensively this year. 

if he misses...eh...it's still tied, maybe you lose a tier 2 game, but you showed faith in him on an off night. 

if he hits...that could kick-start his UNT career. 

no idea if all that thought went into it, but as one who's started to have Hodge doubts, imma give him credit here

We did, in fact, not blow it.

I had no doubt.

I take this win over a McNeese St win if given a choice. Y’all? 

[Censored by Laurie]

lol. I've made the point here numerous times that you don't always need to start your best five players...but damn this box score looks funny

UNT Starters - 15 points
UNT Bench - 43 points

I wonder if even in the TP peak "bench" role we had that kinda discrepancy.

Exactly.  As a young high school basketball coach, our best 3 point shooter was something like 1-12 from the field.  We call a TO at the end of the game down by two points.  Head coach draws up a play for the kid who was 1-12.  Nothing but the bottom of the net, we win by one.  I learned a valuable lesson that night because there’s no way I would have drawn up a play to him in that situation.

Maybe we should start the Bench players!

Big10 and WCC.

[greenminer]

conflicting feelings.  obv very happy for the win over a major conference program at home - supposedly the first in Denton since 2010? - but the way we won this didn't make me feel particularly good about our season moving forward.  Someone convince me to not read too much into this.
