The spread is only UNT - 5.5.  That shows how close the oddsmakers think this game will be. I don't care how ugly it is, just win!!!!! GMG

5.5 points on the road is actually pretty big.

I Need a biiiigtime W tonight fellas cmon!!! Can’t watch it on espn+ but I will be tuning in to the varsity sports network app for the good guys. Need this one so that we can pack the pit Saturday against those dirty birds….GMG

A few things have stood out to me lately. 1A.  Sissoko gets the rock down low early and often and he has been finishing at an elite clip. 1B. The 8 man rotation scares me sometimes but Hodge rotates them so well it’s hard to get mad. 2. We seem to be saving Atin for 3 balls and desperation shots to save us late on the clock, let’s get him in rhythm early tonight. 3. The team defense in the 2nd half of games is absolutely beautiful to watch and strangles opponents, keep this up all year long please. I’m fired up, this would be a good W for the program idc how bad WSU is this year

Sissoko with a couple of early buckets.

I hate how those sections for people to sit are at an angle

Sissoko is kind of controlling the game down low right now.

[Big Z]

Isn’t #17 on Wichita State the transfer from UTSA?

Under 12 timeout....we'll be shooting free throws when it comes back.

Sissoko is carrying the team.  Shockers starting to find their game a bit.

NT 30 ---------- WSU 24

 

Halftime

 

Kind of a rough end to the half.  

[RBTX]

Bad feeling with how the refs are calling this and the way Wichita is getting pumped up.

Such a dumb foul 

[CMJ]

WSU 38 ---------- NT 35

 

16:34 to go

 

I figured the Shockers were gonna make a run at us.  Need to regroup and get back control of this.

[CMJ]

WSU 41 ---------- NT 39

 

14:30 to go

 

Feels like we've stopped the bleeding, but this is gonna be a dogfight.

[NTXDJ]

Watched the first half, then went out to get some dinner.
Come back home to watch the second half and I'm SHOCKED! 

WTH?

[CMJ]

WSU 45 ---------- NT 45

Defense shoring up.

I try avoiding the ref complaining but these two teams are not being officiated by the same standard. Several of their blocks have come with a heavy dose of body contact and just as I type that, Jossell is fouled on a 3 but it doesn't get called. We got called for 2 fouls on 3s in the first half with similar contact on closeouts. Jossell couldn't believe he didn't get this call.

[CMJ]

WSU 48 ---------- NT 47

 

7:42 to go

 

Retook the lead briefly, but couldn't hold.

[CMJ]

NT 54 ---------- WSU 50

 

3:22 to go

 

Gotta play smart down the stretch.

Same with the fouled called on Sissoko which was questionable while less than a minute later he got hammered from behind and nothing called.
