They will probably be 0-3 coming into Denton , but I hope we don't take them lightly.

The have all 5 starters returning from last year. The game versus LSU was tied with about 8 minutes left before the tigers pulled away.

The actually lead A&M most of the 1st half before the Aggies went on a run with about 5 minutes left to go which put them game away.

Grant Maxey is a balla and will be hard to contain.

Looks like I'll be catching this game Wednesday night since I will be in town for Thanksgiving.

JSU (0-3) lost by 14 at Illinois today. Also lost by 14 to LSU and by 17 to A$M. This will be good, solid test to see how we rate with those programs.

I looked that up earlier today and was surprised that they actually played decent (relatively speaking) against some good programs. This game will not be a walk in the park.

I'm throwing this one back up top, and nominating it as the "Game thread", since it was the first one posted acouple days ago. I jettisoned my game thread, and let's leave SUMG's as the roll call thread.

So, we're about 11 1/2 hours away from tipoff - any last minute thoughts?

Any line or point spread given for this game? Jackson State lost by an average 15 points against Illinois, LSU, and A$M. It will be interesting to see how we compare to those programs.

My score prediction: 84-72 UNT.

We had a minor meltdown right before halftime to give up a large portion of our lead. Scary game.

Thanks for the updates. I don't have any way to listen to the game as I am at my inlaws. How's attendance?

Adam McCoy had a good couple of minutes and Johnson hit some huge free throws. This is a nailbiter.
