If you're shooting 75% from the line, it would still behoove the other team to hack away, as it brings a 25% reduction in potential points.

Top 25% in free throws isn't good enough of you're going to be bottom 40 from the field.

Just like football needs both passing and running to be viable offensive threats, mediocrity from the line makes for an incomplete offense.

Lol that's pretty funny. But hey if it works and gets us though hot springs! Tonight's game was hard fought but we did not have enough gas at the end. We will slowly heal by hot springs and be more pr

The best way to endure this season, is forget all the pre-season hype, that Mitchell was ever considered a big time NBA prospect and the last 6 years under JJ ever happened.

This is just a struggling outmanned NT team that hopefully may get better.

Sad and sobering thought.

I can understand that. I honestly didn't know we were the best in the belt. It is just painful to see situations like last night, where a few missed free throws killed some momentum that we were building, which could have led to a comeback.

About the top 25% thing, we need to be close to top 15% imo. The main reason being is that our half court offense and shooting in general are not doing well right now. They are improving from the beginning of the season, but we need to earn the easy points at the line through aggressively attacking the basket and getting an and-1. That is probably the big reason that I feel free throw shooting will help this team a lot.

I like the way you phrased your point and I agree. We could have had a one possession game near the end, but we missed a lot of key free throws. I would love to shoot better at the line. We seem to hit them in the first half and fall off near the end. Something I am sure the team is working on. The players know they need to hit them and are probably at the gym shooting right now (I hope)

He sits right by Walton. He wears the Nike hat. Benford talks to him often times before he meets with the team before a time out. He is learning a lot and should be back by hot springs. (I believe)

The way CJ is moving around I don't see how he could be back for Hot Springs.

Are you really having a conversation with yourself on a public forum? I am truly beginning to hate this board.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out that 25% of our active posters are an Andrew creation. I think he should dust off green_dude more often.

I just go off what I have heard from what I believe to be a reliable source and then also from CJ himself.

The targeted return date from injuries has often been wrong, no matter the coach. I'm sure CJ is still hoping to play but he was barely moving at the last game. I just can't see how he will be able to go from that to playing in what, six weeks.

You may be right. No one knows100%. though I hope your wrong....not to be rude but instead to give the team a boost.

      Unfortunately I feel like many folks might rather watch the Notre Dame/Indiana playoff game on Friday.

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      We've shown over the last handful of seasons that we have one of the most suffocating defenses in the country. I still think the defining game of this era was the NIT semi against Wisconsin when we held them scoreless the last nine minutes of regulation.

      Breaking: North Texas lands Miami QB Transfer (Free)

      Ok so what's your suggestion? Don't get a QB? I'm confused as to what the end goal of your argument is. Regardless of who we get, we're going to suck? Looks like you're complaining just to complain.

      Not thrilled about playing State

      I'm looking forward to the game. In-state bragging rights up for grabs and a good built-in storyline with the two head coaches going head-to-head. Should be a lot of hype leading up to the game. I know we have a couple games on future schedules, but it would be good to rekindle the series. Give me an annual matchup against Texas State over the likes of South Alabama or any FCS opponent. I'm not going to call this a litmus test for coach Morris, but it's pretty close to one. His tenure has not gotten off to the start we were sold on. In fact it's been pretty disappointing. In two seasons, Morris has a record of 11-13 (.458). Those 11 wins have come against teams with a collective record of 45-87 (.341). His signature win is against South Alabama who finished 6-6 in the regular season this year, but did win their bowl game to finish 7-6 to become only the second team with a "winning" record he's beaten (FCS SFA at 7-5 is the other). Ouch. 2 of the 11 or 18.2% of coach Morris's wins have come against FCS opponents. 4 of the 11 or 36.4% of coach Morris's wins have come against teams named Tulsa and Temple. This is going to be an important game for coach Morris. I hate to utter these words, but is this an "opportunity" game? If we win, he will get a little bit of a lift and goodwill for the program and his tenure so far. If we lose or do so in embarrassing fashion, I think his time here is running out. Of course, I don't know how we treat bowl games anymore. They run the spectrum of meaningless exhibition games to the game that defines a coach's legacy. Should be fun.

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      Sure. But this wasn't the first game I have thought this about. My knowledge of hoops is limited and I try to stay out of posting on the BB board for that reasons. Maybe it happens multiple times every game played by every team, but it seems like NT's defense forces this turnover type regularly against good and bad teams. Probably just selective memory. GMG
