Thanks for the heads-up!  You know it would be nice if the Dallas Morning News actually listed our game today in Today's TV!  There is no mention of NT vs Memphis at all in the TV guide section!

Don't forget:   Our game has been moved from ESPN-2 to ESPN.

Update from a good buddy, Memphis alum, long-time season ticket holder:

Well, I am at the game but a pretty sparse crowd. Really bad weather and storms moving thru. Don't you just hate fair weather fans? I see 3 North Texas fans in front of me.

 

(Guessing that is @Matt from A700 and his crew)

Is this his view? We're three rows behind the bench.

[untcampbell]

Yes. He told me his seats are, I think, 10-12 rows up behind the visitor bench.

Say hi to Joe Deen!

Walker!

NT 8 ---------- Memphis 4

 

15:34 to go

 

Our defense seems to be frustrating the Tigers early.

 

 

[Big Z]

LFG!

[CMJ]

NT 14 ---------- Memphis 7

 

11:45 to go

 

We're playing extremely well to this point.  Great to see this kind of intensity on both sides against a Top 25 team.

[Andrew]

Wish we were allowed to be as aggressive as Memphis…. Must be nice….

[3_n_out]

Our guards are wilting under the pressure. They need to slow down and not rush everything. 

[CMJ]

Memphis  22 ---------- NT  18

 

7:32 to go

 

Their pressure defense is starting to really give us problems.

[CMJ]

Memphis 27 ---------- NT 25

 

3:13 to go

 

Both sides trading jabs right now.  Fun game.

[BleedingGreen]

Keep grinding!! 3s will fall soon.

[3_n_out]

Massey needs to settle down. He’s played out of control trying to do too much. 

[3_n_out]

Sissoko with the ball in his hands late in the shot clock is a terrible formula to win. Again, Massey putting us in a bad situation. 

[CMJ]

Memphis 33 ---------- NT 32

 

Halftime

 

Great half by the good guys.

[Matt from A700]

Massie has such an ugly shot. I'd rather B Lo be taking threes.

[Censored by Laurie]

I give him a lot of criticism, so happy to jump in with some praise...that was a massive half from Sissoko, especially to stay foul-free while Newell and Lorient each grabbed two. big ups.

gotta think if Wright can see a few drop, Massie just calms the eff down and we can keep this kinda defensive intensity up that we've a really good shot. 

[Andrew]

Fantastic start to the second half. 

[CMJ]

NT 38 ---------- Memphis 33

 

17:48 to go

 

Tremendous start to this half.  Sissoko is controlling the paint right now.

[3_n_out]

Good thing I can say about sissoko is he’s well coached. What he’s lacking in skill, he is very fundamentally sound defensively. He rarely reaches or goes block hunting. He guards the paint, gets big and uses his strength to battle down low.

NT 40 ---------- Memphis 39

 

15:47 to go

 

Memphis with a little push there, but we nosed back in front.

[CMJ]

Memphis 45 ---------- NT 41

 

14:25 to go

 

Tigers on a 6-0 run.

[3_n_out]

Floyd and Jossell just can’t hang with this pressure

[3_n_out]

Turnovers are killing us. Credit to their pressure. So far, we haven’t been able to handle it.
