I like our veteran roster make up a lot.  Sissoko and Wright obviously huge games .  But, i also liked the calming steady play and defense of Floyd .

To be playing this well in a good basketball conference Is pretty awesome for sure.

[CMJ]

We need fans to come out full force.

Good practice against a full court press in the second half.   Sloppy at first but we got better after several minutes of turnovers.   Points off turnovers was like -16.

[Glory to the Green]

Our free throw shooting has been really good this season. It put the game away today. I’m glad we got the win, but I have a couple of questions…

Why do we struggle so much against the press?

Why did we continue to allow them to speed us up even after we crossed half court?

[CMJ]

I mean I see a lot of teams, even top 10 type schools, struggle against the press.

Temple at the Coliseum this Wednesday.  Please come out and yell for this team.  You want a top caliper basketball program ?  You got one.  Now, the rest is up to the fans.  

[greenminer]

I’ll take all road wins, thanks very much

[NT80]

Spread was 8.5 and we won by 15...

Probably more dependent on how our past opponents do today. UTSA’s NET is only 227, so we may not get a ton of credit for this win, but being on the road and with a nice margin of victory we shouldn’t drop.

Just got off a plane. This NT basketball team keeps delivering good news!

I get that, but the other day Minnesota/Oregon state won over higher ranked opponents and north Texas NET dropped 2.

Good to see Stone with a three today. 
 

Pack the pit vs Temple. Everybody invite a friend. Hell, buy them a ticket. Does the “A” Train still run to Denton?

Yeah, it’s hard to get a beat on some times. I know Memphis lost that day too and at this point we have so many past opponents influencing things it’s hard to know what to expect the next morning unless it’s an obvious quality win or loss.

[Jonnyeagle]

Basketball School baby!  So very proud.

[NT80]

Looked like a nice section of Mean Green fans in San Antonio. 

I could hear them on the ESPN+ broadcast during the game ....and with the North Texas chant.

They will come…

When we play in a new arena, and 

The outside temperature is between 65 and 67 degrees, and

We play a more exciting brand of basketball, and

We play specific teams that excite them, and

The game is late enough for them to make it after work, and 

The game is not so late that they can’t get home early, and 

Ticket prices are lower, and 

It’s the 30th of February.

As soon as that happens…sell out!
