Owls manhandling us on the boards right now.

[BigChiefGMG]

#5 for the owls is out hustling everyone, dudes a machine 

[CMJ]

NT 59 --------- Rice 57

Getting really scary now.

[Censored by Laurie]

that stretch chaos ending with bad takes by Jossell and Wright was infuriating. 

[Greenrex]

Playing not to lose. Both teams.

[CMJ]

 

NT 61 --------- Rice 61

 

1:06 to go

 

 

Two bad possessions in a row (one offense, one defense) and we're now tied.

 

[Green Otaku]

I've lost count of how many times they have hooked us in the paint and not a single whistle.

[AleAlejandro21]

😭

[NTXDJ]

Final

[Greenrex]

Light that sombich.

[Marty]

Not pretty but a win!

[Green Otaku]

[Big Z]

Rice o Roni…see ya! 

[NTXDJ]

Good win! Back into second place in the conference standings. 

Oh, and thanks ECU. 

[NorthTexasWeLove]

Did not have to be that ugly. 

But, W. 

[Green Lantern]

Way to tough out a close road W. Fought through the foul trouble situation. Again - not the cleanest game but very gritty.

[Green Otaku]

I cannot believe the foul called on Lorient when they were fighting for the rebound. He had his hands fully on the ball blocking it and it's a foul?

 

[RBTX]

I'll take a ugly win over a loss any time!

[GMG_Dallas]

We're playing with fire lately... glad to get the win, obviously. Hopefully we're done with Rice for the season.

we're gonna get every one's best shot in conference, and especially road games are always gonna be a challenge. 

interestingly, I think it was our efficiency in out-of-timeout sets that won this game...somehow we can draw up successful one-off plays, but can't turn those into 3-option offensive sets. maybe that's the next step in Hodge's development.

for as much as we complain about announcers, these guys are blowing us tonight... props to them for paying attention to us.

This crew has done several of our games and they always gush over our defense. I love it.

 

Overall, not a pretty win, but it's a win. We need to figure out our offense outside of B Lo and Wright or we are going to get knocked out of the first game in the tournament.
