Lady Eagles claim Century Tel title

12/01/2002

Staff report

SAN MARCOS — The North Texas women’s basketball team captured the Southwest Texas Century Tel Classic with a convincing win over the Missouri-Kansas City Kangaroos 65-41 at Strahan Coliseum Saturday.

The Lady Eagles (3-0) used a stingy defense to hold the Kangaroos (1-3) to just 29 percent shooting from the floor and only seven second-half field goals.

"I thought that we had them scouted well and we came out red hot shooting from the floor,’’ said North Texas head coach Tina Slinker. ‘’We were able to take their top players out of the game and just played great defense.’’

North Texas opened the game with a 9-2 run and extended their lead to 17-4 with 13:03 left in the first half. True freshman Jamie Armstrong came off the bench blazing as she poured in 13 first-half points on 6-of-7 shooting from the floor.

UMKC (1-2) got as close as 27-16 in the first half with 4:09, but the Lady Eagles ended the half on an 8-2 run to take a 35-18 lead into the break.

The North Texas lead ballooned to 52-28 midway through the second half sparked by junior forward Emily Britt’s career-high 11 points off the bench. Angel Lewis continued her sparkling defense as she held Kangaroo leading scorer Katie Houlehan to just three points on the afternoon and 0-11 shooting from the floor.

"I really like the way that Angel has been playing. She has been playing great defense and she has taken a real leadership roll for us this year’’ said Slinker.

Lewis turned in eight points and eight rebounds on the afternoon. Armstrong’s 13 points led North Texas while Kim Blanton turned in her third consecutive double-figure game with 11 points.

North Texas has now won seven straight games at the SW Texas Century Tel Classic and won their third tournament championship.

The Lady Eagles continue their five-game road trip and will go after their fourth straight win to start the season on Tuesday against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, 5:30 p.m.

      How North Texas built the G5's best passing attack

      Indeed this is a great article and great video interview. HOWEVER the article and video are about Coach Morris and "C-4" (love that nickname), and not really North Texas. It was clear from the video interview that the ONLY reason "C4" is at North Texas is because Coach Morris is here. Nowhere is there any mention of either of them being impressed with, or even liking, the North Texas atmosphere, fan base, or even the culture in general. To be fair, this is the case for a lot of athletes these days. Most are at some particular schools because of the coach and the system he has installed. But this is especially obvious to me in this article. Having said all this, I hope that Coach Morris and "C-4" are with us for another year.

      Delivering the DFW Market?

      You can joke, but don't be surprised if they get a better rating despite being on a less available channel.

      Throwback Hat

      FYI, I looked this company up on Amazon, and it is $16.49 for the same hat. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LWU9X87?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

      Tulane Game Time/Channel - Homecoming

      Other teams playing at 11:00a that day: Ohio State Navy and Notre Dane Ole Miss and Oklahoma Now, I am sure someone is about to chime in with “yeah, but those programs are different and can draw crowds at any time of day.” Yes, they are different…because they have fans whose only question is “Is my team playing?” and not the laundry list of asinine questions we keep asking: Is it too hot/cold? Is it within 15 days of a holiday? Is another team that I have no affiliation with playing at the same time? Is the opponent sexy enough (though I claim to be a fan of North Texas, so this is irrelevant)? Is it too late/early/middle of the day? Is the team winning? If so, are they winning by enough points? If so, is the offense “pretty” enough? Am I currently mad at the athletic department/university about something? Is it too far for me to drive? If not, could I just watch on tv? What does my horoscope/tea leaves/position of the moon say?
