Unt Women Vs. Utpa

[Mean Green Matt]

UTPA is up 55-54 with just under 8 minutes left.

The video on the UTPA website is free....if anyone is interested. Here is the link: UTPA Athletics

This would be an abrupt step backwards after a good win on Wednesday if we can't pull it out.

Not looking good

[Mean Green Matt]

UNT down by 2 with around 20 seconds left...If we could make our layups and block out on FT's we would be winning right now.

[Mean Green Matt]

Down 2. 1.8 seconds left. NT ball.

[Mean Green Matt]

UNT goes to the line to shoot 2 FT's. .2 left in the game. Down 2.

First FT is.....no good.

UNT loses by 2....

There are three keys to winning women's basketball games:

1. Defense: We don't even need 94 feet of heat...seriously...47 feet of heat...wait, nevermind, 23.5 feet of heat will do. Let's work our way up to 94.

2. Free Throws: The great equalizer between the Mens game and the Womens game. A FT is a FT. When our player (I think Torru) went to the line tonight to shoot two, with UNT down two points, with .2 seconds left, the UTPA announcers said she was a 20% FT shooter on the year. I don't know if that is true or not, but that is what they said. Godbolt also missed two when she had a chance to tie the game (one airball).

3. Layups: Well, only a chosen few can dunk, so the war in the paint is won and lost with layups. We missed a bunch of layups just in the last 10 minutes. Most of them turned into momentum changers that allowed UTPA to get back to a two possession lead.

I don't usually get too excited about WBB, but it is an off night for the Men, and it is a UNT sport, so I care by default. Very frustrating game...especially losing to a school like UTPA. We play Nichols State on Monday. We are undefeated against Southland teams at home this season so I fully expect a win. If not...well...Go Mean Green!
