UAB (12/31/24)

What a finish.  The way go get around the ESPN and ESPN2 and all the alphabet soup is to come to the games.  There’s nothing like all the fans standing and yelling “DEFENSE” or NORTH, TEXAS, NORTH, TEXAS, in unison.

This was my 81st men's basketball game since my freshman year in 2014. Best game I've seen in person, and I was in Ruston for the big comeback against LA Tech.

Overcome an 18-point lead against a bitter rival on national TV with a decent crowd. Imagine a full Pit.

It was a really gutty win. Flipped the script on them after halftime. After playing one of the worst halves we had under Ross as coach, we took over the game in the 2nd. Intensity ratcheted WAY up, we closed the rebounding gap, and got way more aggressive taking the ball to the basket, forcing the fouls. Impressive job by the guys from the FT line tonight. Fans in attendance got another thrilling win. Wright came up so clutch again.

Maybe we finally found an offense in these tough games?

Good points!

The main reason I posted the info was there also will be another post-season basketball Tourney. 

It will be a 16-team tourney sponsored by Fox Sports and hosted at the MGM Grand garden arena in Vegas.

We have a CBI Tourney banner, and an NIT banner, maybe we need another?

All good. Interested to see what the participation will look like in that tournament. I don't think we get a shot in that format, but I'd gladly take another banner too.

Speaking of which what a banner second half. Awesome win. Super fun environment at the Super Pit, especially during the second half comeback. Atin Wright strikes again.

Happy New Year, everyone. GMG

Ok, have our announcers been saying his name wrong this whole time? Hodge called him Jossill, and I have always heard Jossell. Its at 4:20 in the video. These are phonetic spellings of course.

Is it just his Texas twang?

Which one is right??
