It's rough sledding so far.

[CMJ]

We're playing their pace and can't do jack.

[Mad Hatter]

27-20

White hit a 3

[CMJ]

We follow arguably our best game of the year with our worst half of the season.

[Mad Hatter]

27-20 at the half

We can't seem to get anything going.

UNT has the ball coming out of a time out

I am a little bit confused about this game. They look a TOTALLY different team out there tonight...and nothing seems to be going there way. They are making UD look like a pretty good basketball team.

I guess we can lose some games and still win the conference...but this makes you wonder. Boy, what an interesting team to have an "off" night with.

Saving it for the key games??? I hope...

Every game should be key, especially in belt play... I have to believe the alt. had some sort of effect on their conditioning. It looks like they fell into ud game instead of playing nt ball.

That was just uninspired basketball. Our poor play gave them confidence and momentum. How do we not get more boards in this game??? What a waste.

[GabeGMG]

Someone get me a drink...quick!

[Mad Hatter]

63-59 Denver gets the win.

[scotty474]

THUD!

The Cowboys better win because this lose to DU has me feeling crappy even after a drink!

[UNTflyer]

Yeah, this was a tough loss to take. To start the season so well and open the conference schedule with a whimper. Ugh.

[CMJ]

Just like last season really with the conference opener to UNO.

[SUMG]

Our team hasn't played a good game on the road this season. That needs to change.

[foutsrouts]

Upsetting loss. Every loss like this obviously makes it more difficult for us to play post-season without an outright SBC tourney championship like last year. I guess we're still not yet quite sure how good of a team we have here. Somehow I'm still confident that we'll eventually get it together.

[CMJ]

As I said in another thread. Hold serve at home and steal a few on the road. I don't think the winner of the regular season will have less than 4 losses. It's a long way to go.

This was a bad loss to a bad Denver team. No excuses for this.

[Crown Bear]

I sure didn't see this loss on the schedule however I watched this team play Southern and was concerned they were ready for the holidays. I think it is hard for a good team to get up for a conference game right before the holidays. May have been some bad scheduling on JJ's part. From what I have seen so far this season I don't think this is going to happen very often and UNT should be the team to beat when it comes to tournemant play. Good luck the rest of the way.

I'm not sure scheduling DU right before the holidays falls entirely on JJ. I do think it is a bad idea to have a game like this right before Christmas.

My understanding is that the coaches have nothing to do with the conference schedule, which is set by the league. They do, however, set the non-conference schedule.
