La Sierra University (12/2/11)

[chrisfisher]

Niko had a fantastic play... he ran with the ball about from half court straight toward basket, went to a behind the back dribble to avoid the defense just inside the free throw line, and in one continuous motion from the behind the back, dropped in a sweet layup.

55-25 UNT... 3 minutes into 2nd half. Complete domination by UNT as they should....

[chrisfisher]

typo on score in last post...

current score is 61-22 UNT... about 5 minutes into 2nd half.

[chrisfisher]

64-26 UNT. 12 min left in 2nd half.

Forrest Robinson is looking more and more like he isn't ready yet for prime time.. I think he will be an important contributor in years to come though.

75-32 UNT. 7 min left. Probably won't update again until end of game.

Robinson is looking a tad better now.

Chris, Jordan, and Ked didn't play the last 16 minutes. Quality half by the bench mob. This team was BAD though. Sunday will be a good measuring stick.

Why would a NAIA div 2 team get in a tournament like this? Glad to see everyone play a bunch and score.

I think tomorrow will be a good measuring stick as well. Columbia is a hell of a lot better than an NAIA team.

Trouble finding a fourth team is the only explanation that makes sense to me.

when will holmon be back?

when will holmon be back?

He made the trip, so I would think he has a shot to play this weekend.

Great to get a game and a win like this to build some confidence and team cohesion. Good Job men, take care of Columbia.

To the Mean Green faithful at the game: thanks for representin'. It sounded like we had home court advantage on the radio.

Do NOT quote me on this, but I believe they had a 4th team for the tourney, but they dropped out right before the season. Also, I'd like to take this time to give Loyola Marymount props for offering a free live feed to the game. Good to see they didn't charge for the tournament, like so many other schools would.

I'd bet a good sum of money that the only La Sierra fans in the crowd were parents of the players. But it was good to hear some Mean Green faithful at a game that was played roughly 1,400 miles from campus.

I watched the video and saw definite areas populated by green in the fan section.. we did have folks there.

[CMJ]

I would guess we had about 25 people there...10-12 of which were members of Walton's family. Nice intimate gym they have there. Can't wait for tomorrow.

Most encouraging stat from a this game is 18-19 from the FT line.

We were 18-18 on our way to the record in their gym, until Forrest missed the front end of a one-and-one.
