Middle Tennessee State (1/24/13)

MTSU 17

NT 13

7:46 to go

Tony Mitchell has to have 2-3 blocks already. He's really punishing the Blue Raiders when they get in the paint.

MTSU 23

NT 19

3:32 to go

Keeping close contact so far. That's all I ask -- let them feel the pressure some.

MTSU 28

NT 23

Halftime

Not bad, I'll take it.

[chrisfisher]

We kept it close, but not a pretty half for us. No real flow to our offense. Tons of turn overs. Defense wasn't bad overall but did have some breakdowns.

Turning the ball over 11 times to the best team in the conference...and only down 5....I'll take that any day.

I believe it was 12. I'll take 11 (or 12) in a game but in a half?

[Stan R]

Wait, we aren't the best team in the conference??

MTSU 34

Continuing to just hang around despite turnovers.

Blue Raiders starting to open it up now. Things looking grim.

Kendrick and Lorenzo are in the house.

[MeanGreenDan]

Just too sloppy

[MeanGreenDan]

And the arena begins to clear...

[UNTFan23]

Just gave up back-to-back threes.

MTSU 58

NT 49

6:35 to go

I don't see how we win this unless we hold the Blue Raiders scoreless for about the next 5 minutes.

[MeanGreenDan]

TM scoreless so far in the second half.

[CMJ]

MTSU 64

NT 53

3:24 to go

We're done.

[chrisfisher]

4 Assists on 18 turnovers. That's just not going to get it done.

Sorry I didn't make it more obvious. I meant that we had all that stuff go against us and we were only down 5 at the break. I'll take that...since I'd expect to have been down much more than that. Obviously it didn't mean much at the end of the day since they put us away in the last 8 minutes.
