I like the “I believe…” chant.  If there was about 10 seconds break between the end of play and the DJ or PA announcements, I think the “NORTH”- “TEXAS” chant would start organically.

I BELIEVE WE CAN DO THIS CHANT!

Gameday baby! LFG!

Spread right now is UNT - 3.5

Really hot start for us from the field.

[Matt from A700]

Great start. 12-5 UNT at the first media timeout.

NT 16  --------- UNI 7

 

11:30 to go

 

Our offense has slowed down some, but the defense is still almost impenetrable.

can't ask for much more so far. 

[Big Z]

Boom baby!

The last minute after that UNI alley oop was probably our greatest sequence all season.

NT 31  --------- UNI 17

I think this is the best we've played this season.

Wright playing with a ton of confidence. 

[Matt from A700]

Love Wright's play, and I love the flow of the game. Only three fouls called in the first half with three minutes left - though they've all been on us.

[CMJ]

NT 34  --------- UNI 21

 

Halftime

 

Not a great way to end that stanza, but still up double digits...I'll take it.

34! Get it right!

Can't explain it but a 13-point lead feels a lot better than just 10.

[Matt from A700]

To be fair, too, if I was a UNI fan I'd be having an aneurysm right now. We are giving up a lot of open 3's that they are missing - including air balling one - and they are terrible at finishing at the rim. And I thought we were questionable in that department.

[BleedingGreen]

I love the confidence of our guards today.

Why doesn’t the tournament have 8 teams? I’m curious since it seems like Minnesota and Wichita State played in the same area in a separate four team tournament. Why not make it 8 teams? I honestly couldn’t find an answer all day. Some say it’s two separate  brackets but others say it’s two different tournaments. The games have been titled different which doesn’t help.

Good start to the second half.  It's really fantastic to see us playing at such a sustained high level on both ends of the court. 

[greenminer]

We are killing them on the boards and lights out from 3.  Not gonna lose many games when this happens.

Northern Iowa tying to make a run, but so far we've managed to hold them at arm's length.
