Florida International (1/14/11)

[CMJ]

Is FIU really a contender? How do we recover after the MTSU game? Can we keep our Home win streak alive? Is a week off too much? Guess we'll find out soon enough.

(Obviously messed up the date)

im making the 6 hour drive from northwest arkansas down for this game...first one since i graduated in december!

[LakeTravis]

Isiah is thinking he is going to end the streak.

Cant wait to heckle him for the first time.

Cant even get a job in the NBA lol

I want a drubbing of the FIU PussyCats

[UNTFan23]

Will another SBC coach get a technical foul? We're 3 for 3 so far in the season.

Glad we had the time off. We lose a lot when George and Kendrick aren't close to 100%. Hope they're back to being healthy.

One statistic of note...FIU us 1-5 on the road...with the win being a one point win @ ULM. Can we? Hell yes! Will we? God I hope so!

They were one of the few home losses we had last year. Hopefully the team remembers that loss and does not want to repeat it.

Most students should be back on campus so hopefully we get a good turnout.

[MeanGreenSoHo]

We are 11.5 point favorites tonight!

Going to be able to make this game +3 comrades. Looking forward to it!!

[untwillrise]

I'll be there plus 10. Sis, girlfriend, lil one, and 7 young men who I coach. Gotta show the guys how the big boys play.

[filmerj]

Gonna miss this one too. I hate not being able to make these home games. But Go Mean Green!

[Denia Park Pedro]

Victory for the ladies.

[MDH]

The student turnout is CRAZY, especially since school isn't in session. Student section lower bowl almost full and we've yet to tip it off

[CMJ]

Because of the length of the womens game, we're still in a holding pattern.

[MDH]

They're giving the students some sweet unt bandanas, could get ghetto up in here.

Feels like a big game...a lot of intensity....but also nervous energy and mistakes out there.

FIU 16

NT 14

9:52 to go

Odufuwa carrying us early. Tristan didn't start and still not in. No word on why as of yet.

FIU 21

7:07 to go

Outside of Odufuwa we're struggling to find scoring. Holmen hit a nice trey a minute or so ago to help the cause though.

FIU 27

NT 17

Timeout NT

Panthers with a quick run.

FIU 32

At the moment it feels like we're treading water. It'd be nice to get the lead down to 4-5 by half.

[Keith7]

nevermind. impressive final 3 minutes

FIU 36

Halftime

Great run to close the half. Tristan came in and started the push but just about everyone contributed. Odufuwa almost has a double double at the break.

[CMJ]

FIU 47

NT 46

15:51 to go

Both teams scoring like crazy to start the 2nd half. Not sure who this pace favors more.

[CMJ]

NT 54

FIU 50

11:50 to go

Solid stretch for us. I sense a bit of frustration for the Panthers. A couple of odd plays/fouls by them. Hopefully we can build on that segment.

FIU 61

Fouls starting to pile up for both teams.
