Three words:

Coaching coaching coaching

What coaching mistakes are you referring to? I am only listening to the game, but I am slightly encouraged by the game.

Travis · November 21, 2013

I am not encouraged by the game. We lost one we were supposed to win. I don't think this year will be much different than last year. Maybe a game or two improvement.

GrandGreen · November 21, 2013

Well they only hit one three the second half, while NT hit 4.

Going to have to get more points in the paint.

Who said we were supposed to win?

It is a hell of lot different than last year. Last year there was talk of being a top 25 team, this year no one expects much.

No specific mistake(s)...pretty much equal talent...just my opinion that the difference is coaching.

BillySee58 · November 22, 2013

We have some really good players. Our guards can score with the best of them, and Vaughns was a very solid pickup. We have the talent to make some noise.

I want more on the coaching please... Go into detail about how Benford lost this game for us...?

Harry · November 22, 2013

Walton is really cold right now.

It's always some calculus of players and coaching. Coaches (especially in college) generally get more blame than the players, it's the nature of the beast. They also tend to get more credit. I think every coach knows that.

ESPN showed us favored by 5

But do we have the coaching leadership?

That's the question. We are pretty damn talented but we know we can't win on talent alone.

Disappointing to see Aniefiok be a nonfactor after his performance against Nicholls.

He definitely is a nice piece to our team. Hustles like roger but he can knock down the three. Maybe we win if he does not go down. I would assume he would have been in at the end. Also Benford noted in the post game that it was not designed for Walton to take the three and he rushed it. He was the third option on the play.

Outrebounded.

By Columbia.

Outrebounded.

By Columbia.

To be fair, they can do the equations with trajectory and velocity and know exactly where the ball will end up.

UNT90 · November 22, 2013

Better rebounding and defense were what we were promised before last year.

That was the focus...

Vegas. The line.

andrewrozell · November 22, 2013

Actually Travis, Mirage had North Texas +4.5, Wynn has us +5, Caesars had us +5.

Seems spot on.

What Vegas line did you see with us favored?

For a little perspective.

If you don't want to sort through all that, not one pick above 6th in the Ivy League.

So. Has he been fired yet?

andrewrozell · November 22, 2013

i, unfortunately, couldn't keep up with the game, but looking at the box, 31 min from CJ with 3/12 shooting? That is rough.

Travis · November 22, 2013

Hmmm. Maybe it was just espn. But I saw it elsewhere too. Just can't recall.

GangGreen · November 22, 2013

This is ridiculous. Would you rather:

1) Favored to win and lose

Or

2) Favored to lose to Columbia and lose

Both of them suck.

Winning > Losing.

Rudy · November 22, 2013

I am consider the home team the one that is slotted as the home team on the schedule. We are the home team in the first two games and the road team against Portland. In reality they are all games away from home.

I hope we don't consider the team with more fans in attendance the home team
