The Finals And A Look Back

Posted on the Sun Belt board by Bird of Paradise. Beleive he's a radio guy for ULL, but not sure.

North Texas just had too much for Middle. Teams that match up with Middle on the inside will beat them because they just don't have the firepower on the perimeter. Ben Bell looked like an all league player last night. While UNT really misses the scoring potential of Davis, they look to each other as a team more when he isn't in the game.

WKU fell into the trap that so many of ASU's opponents fall into. You always have to assume that Banks and Wells are gonna get theirs. What you have to do against the Indians is make sure that the support guys don't step up. If you shut down the others, Banks and Wells are hard pressed to beat you by themselves. And, for the second time, the Tops didn't bother to guard Wedel and he made them pay.

The finals tonight hinge on that, I think. UNT has to make sure a third person doesn't catch fire for ASU. Simple as that.

ASU is on fire right now and they have the momentum. But either team could win this one.....which is why the early line this morning was pick it.

Just an FYI: JJ won his 100th game as a coach last night. From the DRC (link)

Jones wins No. 100

UNT head coach Johnny Jones won his 100th career game with the Mean Green's victory over MTSU.

Jones is 85-88 at UNT and was 15-16 as the interim coach at Memphis in the 1999-2000 season. The former LSU standout also moved into third place in UNT history in wins, passing Jimmy Gales, who had 84 wins while serving as the Mean Green's head coach from 1986-93.
