You got some good screen time on ESPN+ Joe.  Showed you standing and clapping during a timeout.

Probably should expect an uptick in female attendance today.

I know we'll be competing against one of the NFL playoff games, but I'm saying we need 5K+ on Sunday. 

You live in California, WTF does it matter to you what our attendance is?

People need to give the attendance issue a rest for crying out loud.

I watch a lot of sports on TV.  We all do.

 

One of the first things I always notice, no matter the game (or sport), is the attendance and noise the crowd makes.  It definitely doesn't look good when someone struggles to fill half their arena.

It's looking good a few minutes before tip off.

Time to face another set of Owls.  Let's stay in 1st!

 

I have what is probably a dumb question.   I started seeing the "x" symbol a few years back whenever two brands collaborated together.  Something to indicate that the brands multiplied together are bringing a better product to market.  Now it seems like any time two entities (loosely defined) are in any sort of way doing anything together I see that "x" mark.  UNT and FAU aren't collaborating, the exact opposite.  Why is the "x" mark being used?

[CMJ]

NT 5 -------- FAU 4

 

15:27 to go

 

Pretty scratchy start by both squads.

So you don’t think there is an issue?  You don’t think there is a problem when I am planning on being in town for the Tulane game on 2/8, and I can buy a GA ticket and basically have my choice of seats?

[CMJ]

FAU 17 -------- NT 12

 

9:44 to go

 

Owls hitting shots early.

[NorthTexasWeLove]

Better get your heads outcha butt's. This is a 100+ NET team that is playing .500 ball and you got em at home. 

[CMJ]

FAU 23 -------- NT 16

 

7:18 to go

 

They're not having as much trouble with our defense as I would like.  Gotta really dig in.

They are unconscious shooting threes right now.

FAU 28 -------- NT 19

 

3:07 to go

 

We can't make anything right now.  The defense is settling in some though.

[NorthTexasWeLove]

I don't want to speak in arrogance, but get this to 5 or less at the break and clamp these losers in the 2nd half. 

[UNTFan23]

Tough stretch there. FAU with a 5-point play - made 3 followed by two FTs after a flagrant 1 foul.

[NorthTexasWeLove]

Pass. The. Ball. 

[Tonto]

I don’t understand why this team can’t run a fundamental fast break and get a layup

[NorthTexasWeLove]

Want to lose? Miss three front end 1 and 1's. That's how you lose. 

[Tonto]

Not sure we can play any worse than this

[Tonto]

The trend is we come out strong to start 2nd half.  Hope that holds true.

[EagleD]

Blew a 3-1 break. 

[CMJ]

FAU 34 -------- NT 27

 

Halftime

 

If we hate been better at the charity stripe, this could be really close.

[NorthTexasWeLove]

Better get the shit together. Embarrassing. 

Last possession was coaching. You have a foul to give. Pressure the ball like they stole from you.
