St Louis game Dec 5

[foutsrouts]

Nice to be in it. Hope we can put together two nice halves against a quality opponent.

UNT 36

SLU 34

Halftime

Go Mean Green!

[CurveItAround]

I am sure SLU will put the clamps down on defense in the 2nd half. We will have to do the same. Hoping we can hold them to 30 or less in 2nd half, we made several shots we haven't been hitting.

[chrisfisher]

I well the hell did Bedford call a time-out in our transition attack to the basket? Weird.

[akriesman]

Our guys need a quality win over a tough opponent in a major, major way. If we can pull this out, it would be huge.

My birthday is today. Wife did do deliver. Hope the Mean Green does.

Coleman made a decent contribution tonight. Only 7 minutes and 2 points but he looked involved in the game and played nice defense. We REALLY need him to step up so we can free Mitchell from playing as a post.

[chrisfisher]

56-56 with about 4 minutes left.

Thanks for link. Down 2 with a minute to go. Let's hope we can pull this out. This could turn around the year (maybe/hopefully)

[chrisfisher]

That might be it.

[unt_rocket09]

Gotta be happy we played a LOT better. Play like this in belt play and we don't lose.

[KoldBeer]

Ugh. SLU drives for wide open layup to go up by two. North Texas goes down gets off balance shot at hoop. Tie up goes to SLU and they hit two FTs. Basically ended game. Those two possessions sum up UNT season.

[Harry]

Good effort.

[Andrew Balettie]

Better than ULaLa, but still...I need to see better composure at the end of the game before I let Benford off the hook.

[meangreener]

This have me hope for the season. I mean, I'm done with moral victories but still.

Unsatisfied yet again.

Considering Tony was in foul trouble, I think they held their composure pretty well. They didn't lay down

Specifically, I'm talking about the open layup they let that Jet kid have at the end to give SLU the two point advantage.

Though I do agree with you, they did hold better at the end than I expected, it still was not as good as it should have.

Mesquite Skeeter, Cory Remekun, came up big for St Louis. I hated when he got away

Solid effort tonight. Several mental mistakes coming down the stretch, but better. We went brain dead and let their guard drive uncontested to go up by two and then later let their post get an uncontested put back. Tony's lane violation when they missed the front of a 1-1, only to then make both did not help either. I was watching the game and Chris never even thought about passing to Tony on the late possession when he ended up taking an off balance shot that missed and SLU rebounded and was pretty much church at that point.

That was a pretty good defensive team they played tonight and they pretty much shut down everyone but Tony and Chris, Alzee was decent. When Tony matures a little and decides to give that type of effort every night out, we will be able to hang with a lot of people. Chris played well in back to back games. Noticably fewer minutes (20) for Jordan tonight and responded with an 0-4 night.

I hope we get rolling early in conference play and can carry that into the tournament.

Got away? Did we even recruit him?

Perfect games sometimes happen in baseball. LOL! Lets just hope this is a sign of the upswing for this team.

I guess we lost gracefully this time?
