UNT wins 78-70

Good. Still worried about this team.

UNT wins 78-70

So....do we light the tower, or the dumpster for an 8 point win over an NAIA school? Or both?

[untwillrise]

Exb.) Don't mean anything! That being said I'm even more worried!

[NT03]

Former UNT commit RJ McGhee was on the OKC roster , I didn't see him get in tho. He may of not even dressed

[drex]

OKC budget vs. UNT budget...come on guys. UNT-CUSA, OKC, NAIA..come on guys.

Which one of the players didn't have the proper facial expression?

Bench him. For two WHOLE minutes.

The good news is that football season runs through January this year.

No doubt.

Still can't shoot. And we gave up 70 to a NAIA, so it looks like we still can't play defense, either.

It'll be interesting to see the rebounding numbers.

This basketball season could get very ugly very quickly.

Hopefully we keep winning like we did tonight. Good job Mean Green!

All I have to say is 48 fouls.... 48 fouls!!!'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This game is going to be very boring to watch if this is consistent.... Very slow because a foul was called about every minute...

New rules Andrew. Changed the way the game is coached and played. Going to take a little time for the players and the refs to get used to it.

Should play in UNT's favor, but got to adjust to the new rules.

[Andrew]

Tonight it just slowed us down and hurt us. It was awful to watch. We're you there Kram? I missed ya, but will be there next game as well. I must say Colman impressed me more then anyone else. He had 11 points (I believe) and maybe 8 or 9 rebounds. He hustled big time. CJ and Alzee were flat until the end of the game.

Also we have our roger Franklin and it is Maurice A.! Has the look and plays somewhat similar but has a good outside game.

[NT03]

I left a little early , did Wesley ever get in?

[Andrew]

No he never played. But Colman was a beast. At least for one night...

55 fouls... I was off. 55 fouls makes for a boring game. Also the big board had us with 54 rebounds so 47 seems a bit low. I also think our FT percentage was lower. Like around 40% according the big board. Which either way is awful! Poor shooting night :/

It was pretty ugly. We can't shoot 3's for certain. Free Throws started out bad....not sure how they ended up.

[Andrew]

They ended up around 50 percent. Shooting overall was pretty bad, but we could never really push the ball up the court. A foul was called every possession it seemed, so there was a lot of swinging the ball around the perimeter. But a win is a win.

[RBTX]

Didn't get to see the game or even listen to it. Is a bit concerning but remember back in 2011 we only lead 35-34 at halftime in a exhibition game to OKC. Although the second half was a bit more comfortable for us back then.

IMPOSSIBLE! Don't you know that our first team All-American is healthy this season and shoots threes?

Well that's the thing, they should be able to shoot three's. I'm guessing tonight was more of an anomaly.

We saw what J-Will did last year. Brandon Walton's back. Vertail Vaughns is a sharp shooter (he didn't take any attempts tonight) and T.J. Taylor is also supposed to be very good. That should be much better than last year's complete lack of shooters to spread the floor.

[CMJ]

Wow, glad I wasn't able to listen to this.

On the other hand, could be the team adjusting to each other.
