Arkansas Little Rock (1/10/13)

[CMJ]

We've never had much luck with the Trojans. Especially not up there. So.....yeah....I don't have much encouragement.

[golfingomez]

I think you meant to put 1/9/13... that's when the team I care about tips off against UALR...

[untbowler]

UALR just lost to Troy, so all is not lost as long as Benford does not suspend more players.

[THOR]

So a team that can't shoot or defend can beat a team in a place they generally don't beat them...not optimistic in the least...

[KRAM1]

Hope springs eternal. Yes, could happen. Will it?

[Mean Green Matt]

The women are playing for first place in the west. Way more important of a game.

I don't begin these threads to denigrate the women's team - if you want a thread on that game feel free to start it.

I know. Wasn't at all directed at you. It was said more in shock than anything. Hard to convey tone through words. My bad.

UALR guard John Gillion most likely out of this game ( sprained knee) . Gillion is the 2nd leading scorer @ 10.8 ppg

We have won 3 straight @ Little Rock

Isn't our all time record against them rather abysmal?

Not sure , but we haven't lost up there in Since 2009. We lost that game in OT > MGS

You don't need to look to the past to find a record that is abysmal.

[CMJ]

UALR owns a 16-9 record against us. So, they win about 2 thirds of the time. Actually, that's better than I remembered it being. I think at one point they'd won nearly 80% of the times we played.

I've just learned Benford has suspended the entire team for tonight's game. He did however, find replacements. This is your starting lineup...

PG - Air Bud

SG - Bugs Bunny

SF - Jackie Moon

PF - Foghorn Leghorn

C - Sean Bradley

Should be quite a match.

This game is on ESPN3.com. The Troy games (Men and Women) are also on ESPN3.com on the Feb. 16 games.

Wait, so this means I can actually SEE us get our butts kicked instead of hearing George and Hank describe it?

[emmitt01]

We stay within 15. I'm moderately sure.

[Green P1]

I wish Bumford wouldn't makr us wait so late in the day before announcing who he's decided to suspend. My money says its Austin Mitchell's turn tonight.

[NT03]

My ESPN app says Monroe vs Troy , no UNT ?

[untwillrise]

We win 86-80

[untwillrise]

Honestly who of us crazy fans really thinks this season is over? For some odd reason I still think we have a chance.

The season isn't over because we still have games to play. From a winning standpoint, I think it is pretty much over.

[Greendylan]

We win 86-80

Not in my wildest dreams could I imagine us scoring 86 points against them.

[helix]

Gah. This game is tough to pick in my opinion. Yes, UALR has had a better season overall, but they are 1-4 (just like us I'll admit) in their last five with their only win being against WKU. I think UNT might be able to squeak this one out 70-68, where the last 2-3 minutes is some of the worst basketball you will ever hear/see. I just think they are in a slump and we take advantage of that. Plus we will hopefully get Alzee back. He will help a lot.

GO MEAN GREEN!!!
