Mean Green Vs. Sam Houston State

[GrandGreen]

Overall bad defense and not a lot of energy on NT's part.

[UNT Five&Dime]

Knox lobs up a Howerton style free three throw....

Watch their cheerleader on our next free throw. That might be why he missed so bad.

[UNTMike81]

It's a good thing Cavell (sp) can't hit the broad side of a barn from the FT line, or we'd be sunk!!!

[chrisfisher]

Please take Knox OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why do the coaches, head and assistant, keep talking up Knox at every interview... heck, they talked him up before this game... I do not get it... he simply does not have the speed necessary to play at the D1 level.

[Pen Yan Fan]

It is like UNT is playing 4 against 5 when they are on offense because Knox is so bad they won't even pass him the ball. This is a pitiful effort.

Put a fork in us.

This game is over. I do not understand why Triston wasn't driving to the basket this game... at all...

They are playing defense past the 3 point line to stop our 3's and we didn't make them pay inside or with drive's to the basket.

[ArmyOfMom]

The SHSU Internet feed is 1000 times better than ours. I also like the video production. I'm not at all in favor of UNT's play or the score.

Maybe being in the bonus the rest of the way will save us.

Video might be better, but these announcers are just terrible.

[UNTMike81]

This game really scared me...The BCat's are pretty good, or we just don't have bench depth we need this year.

[ArmyOfMom]

Down by 18, less than 2 left...

[chrisfisher]

Our defense this game was disgusting.

[GabeGMG]

Ugly game...how embarrassing.

[filmerj]

Very disappointing.

[CMJ]

SHSU 94

NT 74

Final

Oh well, on to Saturday night....

[GrandGreen]

This team is not very good at this point. No depth and little defense. Very disappointing, I guess that number 10 mid-major will be quickly forgotten.

[chrisfisher]

They really laid on egg this game... terrible.

[filmerj]

Man we got hammered.

[Green Otaku]

Something has to be up. I have never seen our team just give up. No intensity 95% of the game. What happened? Are they sick? Did they come in overconfident? Tired?

We can't go from playing great to playing like crap.

Outside of Tech, Rice, and obviously Kansas - this game should have been a strategic priority. SHSU is arguably the best team we face between now and the SBC tournament with the clear exception of LSU (or maybe WKU given their OOC schedule). Losing is one thing, but to get boogered? Very disappointing.

[Army of Dad]

I think the JJ is as upset (or more) than we are. He didn't do his usual post game radio interview last night...

[Green Lantern]

We can't go from playing great to playing like crap.

I don't know. I really haven't felt like the team has really put together a full game so far this year. I certainly wouldn't classify what I've seen as great. Johnny's teams have traditionally been slow starting teams, gelling towards conference play. I think we still have the potential to put it all together, but we've got to play better team defense, get a little more out of our bench and cut down on costly turnovers. I'm happy that we're 7-2 at this point.

That being said, good teams with good players (like us) find ways to grind out wins in games where they haven't played their best. We've done that all year outside of the SH game last night.
