UAB (2/3/25)

[Matt from A700]

@CMJ, respectfully, you can suck it. We're gonna need to change some things up if we want to beat UAB on the road Monday night. So I'm starting the game thread this time. DEAL WITH IT!

[CMJ]

I don't care who starts the threads as long as the format is the one we've been using for the last 18 years.

I see you in a wrestling ring with a microphone saying that

I can adhere to that. I'm not a monster.

No better place to bounce back than a tough one at UAB.  I expect to see one of our best defensive efforts in awhile.  I also pray that they formulate some sort of offense to ATTACK the 1-3-1 and not just pass it back and forth over the point mans head until he tips it and steals it for a monster jam.  One can only hope right?

I mean they lost by 2 points.  I refuse to crucify or bail on them for that.

After the worst half of Mean Green MBB in years, we still almost made up for it and won it.  Kinda wild, but I don't want to see us in that situation again.

I worry that the team has peaked too early.

Honestly. I would probably not want to be UAB in this game. I expect NT to come out pissed.

Bad loss Saturday, fly to Birmingham Sunday afternoon then walk through and shoot around today. UAB also played Saturday but had an early game and was at home. Going to have to gut it out tonight. No style points. Just find a way to scratch out an ugly win. GMG!

Before this weekend I was thinking the same for us after the way UAB lost in Denton.

If we have already witnessed our guards peak...

[Greenrex]

Wish I could feel more comfortable with this one but i don't

It is almost time. And when we win, let’s drum back up the hype for our 2nd place mean green basketball team. Let’s do this. It’s time to ruin Andy Kennedy’s night. Gotta have faith. GMG

People said the same thing about our football team.

Jossell had a virus yesterday but got an IV and is going to try to play tonight.

UAB 8 ---------- NT 7

 

 

14:58 to go

 

Both squads putting some buckets on the board early.  However, we're already in a bit of a drought.  Need to get out of it before this spirals like our last game.

NT 15 ---------- UAB 10

Our defense owned that stretch.  Unfortunately only went 2-4 from the charity strip in the segment.

[NorthTexasWeLove]

Coming out scorching hot on offense. 

[Matt from A700]

Liked our pace after the first media timeout.

[Censored by Laurie]

way better energy and activity than the other night.

You can tell he is 100% watching the free throws. We need the win. Hodge might want to allow another guard to play a little. My biggest complaint with tight rotations is the risk of injury due to extended minutes and then who is ready to step up if we go down a man? 
 

we really haven’t seen much of anyone outside of these 8 guys. Not complaining because we are winning but I wouldn’t mind seeing somebody get a chance.

NT 21 ---------- UAB 15

 

 

6:55 to go

 

Sissoko continues to play great down low.  If we could finish better at the rim, we'd be up double figures right now.

So much more hustle and determination compared to Saturday.
