game over. 92-84 UH

The cougars shot 14 of 28 from the 3 point line and 58% from the field... thats pretty impressive.

We went cold on FT's at the end of the game.

Frustrating loss in a very winnable game. Too bad more of our fans werent at the game, it sounded like a really good one til the last minute. Hopefully this will bring some people out. We now drop to 4-1 at home this year, right?

The crowd noise sounded great, too bad it was the visiting teams fans making most of it. My plans of making it to the game ended as I was stuck on the nightmare known as I35E North. After sitting in traffic for 30+ minutes going nowhere, I headed back. Seems like the highway dept decided to do work on the day that everyone was trying to go North. mad.gif

With 20+ turnovers by UH I would say we did a pretty good job on the defense.  They just had a couple of guys shoot lights out.

they scored 42 points off 3 pointers. but, UH doesnt have a great defense. We were able to score on lay ups all day.

If I had a nickel for every time we used the excuse "they shot lights out" over the past 10 years of NT basketball, I could fund us a new stadium.

Heard it after the ASU game too.

Sooner or later this team needs to play defense, especially perimeter defense.

Houston shot 54.8% from the field, while hitting 14-28 from the 3 point line. That's the main difference in the game, we have proven we can score but we still have work to do on the defense.

Also attendence was announced at 4,102. I'll want to hear from the people who went to the game to see if that was accurate, if so it was probably 50%+ UH fans.

Anyone can shoot lights out when they are left as wide open as the Houston shooters were in the first half. Our basketball team covers the perimeter about as well as our Football team covers opposing tight ends. I'd estimate it was more like 80 - 85% Houston fans, if there were more than 800 - 1000 UNT fans I'd be shocked.

No way. 60-05% was probaby pretty accurate. UH fans were pretty much concentrated in a few sections which were full, plus scattered around. NT fans were spread throughout numerous sections, so didn't look like as many when in fact there was a significant number.

I have to say I was proud of our fans supporting the team in crucial moments, like when we first came back to tie in the second half. We may be pretty quiet most of the time, but at moments like that the fans were really into the game. Those are positives we can build on as well.

I was actually at this game. ohmy.gif UH fans were loud and had coordinated cheers. Hmm. Who'd have thunk it? Anyway after leaving this game I've never been so pissed about the state of fan support for NT basketball. BUT, I've since come to my senses and realized that this game was on a friday afternoon, and - their football team was in a bowl that same day in fort worth.

Still - no excuses. I'd put it at about 70-30 UH/NT fans. If I was able to take off a day of work to make it up I know more could have as well. And it wasn't exactly fun sitting in a section of scattered red, but I will say that at times the NT fans got pretty loud as well. Over all a fun game and I will be back for many more games. A fun outing for dad and 4yr old son.

These attendence estimates are always all over the place. My estimate of the crowd was at the most 60% Houston. I am not sure were these 3 and 4 to 1 estimates come from.

I really didn't think that the Houston crowd was as overwhelming as some. If NT had played a game 30 miles from the superdome on bowl day and had plenty of time to make both games, I think that they could have easily doubled the fans that Houston had in Denton. Of course, with NT's current support of basketball; it would have to be like the NO bowl games, people that never bother to see a regular season game would attend.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
