Louisiana Lafayette (1/5/10)

[CMJ]

It's too early to label any game a must win. But this is an awfully important one.

EDIT - It's on the 7th obviously...I screwed up and couldn't edit the title.

UNT 10

ULL 21

7:00 left first half. We already have 10 turnovers......

[chrisfisher]

This is really bad... the Ark State game continued... maybe worse... turn overs all over the place and no discernible offensive rhythm or direction.

[GrandGreen]

Another horrible start, down 15-29 with 3 left in half.

UNT 22

ULL 34

Halftime. Pretty disappointing.

Not only horrible performance, but an insufferable announcer on Cajun broadcast and they show not one but two replays on every ULL basket. Maybe a good thing the way UNT is playing, seldom see the NT offense.

[CMJ]

Just got home from getting a friend to the airport. Looks like I shoulda taken longer.

I think we can pull off the comeback. Our offense started to look better toward the end of the first half. We just need to quit throwing the ball away and actually play some defense.

NT 26

Cajun timeout

18:02 to go

I'm assuming we played pretty poorly in the 1st half given the score, but that was a promising couple of minutes.

Shannon Shorter playing well this half

[LoveMG]

have we ever started fast against a bad conference team and beat them like we should instead of this type game?

About four or five times last season.

NT takes a timeout. We had it down to 3, but the Cajuns hit a trey.

JJ takes another timeout with just over 8 minutes to go.

NT 54

3:32 left

We've had a few times where we seemed so close, but just couldn't get it over the hump. Looks like we lost the game in the first half.

[Fitzyrection]

This is a bad team.

[CMJ]

Got it down to 3 after a Thomas trey

[CMJ]

Josh called for a charge in a crucial moment down 4...that may be the ballgame.

This is a bad team.

Yup. Three bad losses in conference play - what happens when we play Denver, WKU, and USA?

We're not good.
