Is Dennis Collin playing tonight?

Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it.

whoa Yahoo is way off I was thinking awesome the guys beat a good ASU team and now find out they are in a 3rd OT.

Cue the um...commentary...about how we should have beat this team by 176 points and how we aren't living up to expectations. A win is a win is a win. I'll take it.

When you are on a 5 game losing streak, I will take win over Stickland Jr. High. A loss tonight would have been a crushing blow.

Meanwhile the #301 UC Irvine Anteaters are leading by 14. Time to change radio stations.

So you think this team is living up to expectations?

nice win by the team over a good ASU, but man they come off as such a schizo team. If they can learn to finish games they could be dangerous.

Those Vikings are fierce this year.

i was busy doing ra traning...but i found out about the 2nd OT and gunned it to the pit...got thier with like a minute left in OT and saw all of 3rd OT and almost lost my voice yelling at John Brady and cheering the team in about a 6 min span...wooooooooooo what a RUSH! talk about passion! goooooooooooooooo Mean Green!

I'm a first year student. I have no idea what expectations are. During football season, the timbre of this board was easily understood. Now that basketball's here, and looking at post game comments even after wins, I've learned that I can set my watch to gmg members bitching about something. A win like this takes character. I like what I see.

CMJ · January 11, 2009

That was a quality win. We shot 19 for 35 from the stripe & didn't start making 3's until overtime, and yet we won. We massively outrebounded a team that was averaging winning the boards battle by 7 a game. ASU was in the top 100 in the RPI going into the game. We had a 5 game losing streak, and this loss would have crushed us.

This was a nice win.

This was the longest game for UNT in Denton since 1980.

This was the longest game for UNT in Denton since 1980.

Read the article again, I think they are saying it is the longest game ever played at the Super Pit.

Crazy but with this 5 game skid we are only 2 games out of first place. We still have a horse in this race.

Official Attendance: 2,759

(Which for once seems a bit low to me)

A few thoughts from tonight:

1)I don't care what kind of "dog house" he may work his way into from time to time, Tristan needs to be on the floor a bunch because he's about the best scorer we've got.

2)Free throws. Free throws. Let me say it again, FREE THROWS. Great teams bury you when you give them free throws, good teams keep themselves close and/or win with them...teams that shoot like we shot tonight have no business winning. That we did is a testament to heart. It's also a double-edged sword...a loss due to missed free throws might have taught this team more.

3)Adam McCoy, please use those hops. This is the one and only thing you do better than anyone else, when you have a chance to please posterize the nearest big man. Thank you.

4)Is Josh White experiencing a sophomore slump or is he just getting tons of attention? I don't know but what I do know is that at the end of the game when it's close you want the ball in his hands (and not Johnson's). He is just about money in the bank at the charity stripe.

5)Decent crowd but I can't help but notice...again...that it takes a work of God for people to stand. Also, Saturdays in the spring must somehow be different from Saturdays in the fall. Students not being there I can understand...alums, where did all of your zest for making Saturdays Mean Green days go?

6)We are a donut team. They should have fed their bigs all night and fouled us out. Period.

I was suprised too. I thought it was at least 3,000 based off of other attendance estimates.

Also, the Pit Crew is barely functional. The turn out is low. I don't see signs, green wigs, cheering, etc. I hope that the new found Pit Crew traditions and strong turn out is not losing ground. Where are the painted faces? the green shirts? the wigs? the crazed Pit Crew fans? I do not mean to minimize the contributions of the students that are attending, but I hope that we can improve the student turn out.

We dominated them on the boards and outscored them by at least 10 in the paint. They most be more of a donut team than us.
