North Texas Mean Green vs. Old Dominion Monarchs - 2/13/14

The North Texas Mean Green will host the Old Dominion Monarchs on Thursday night. Old Dominion has lost three of its last five and the Mean Green has lost four games in a row.

The Mean Green just can’t seem to get in the win column lately and a lot of it has to do with the lack of defense. While they allow 74.5 points on 43.1 percent shooting on the season, they’re allowing 78.8 points on 45.4 percent shooting in their last five games. The offense hasn’t been much better with an average of 69.4 points, which is about two points less than their season average. Crazy enough, they average just 69.4 points at home. Against the spread, they are 8-7-1 and 1-3-1 on their home court.

Sounds about right. I can't promise to listen to the whole game tonight --- family commitment near the time this one should be ending. However, that might be a good thing!

Meh. I'll be watching the Olympics. They only occur every 4 years. Benford beatings occur every week.

Actually, they usually happen twice a week...

Well, the prime time coverage doesn't start here till 8pm. The game should be over well before that. That's the beauty of time NBC tape delaying everything.

Online streaming is such an awesome thing. Currently watching/listening to the US Men's hockey game.

The game will probably be over by 8pm CST.

Just sayin...

We might not win it until the last 5 minutes... We generally do not play hard until the end. Hopefully this is changing. Excited for tonight's game though!

Ya, the BYU game was great evidence of playing hard at the end... Against a top 20 team...

(I love arguing with myself).

We've not done well in the second half of games hence the 8 PM reference.

The name of this thread needs to be changed to the standard game thread format...you know, for the OCD posters among us.

[meangreener]

From pictures, maybe 10 people showed up.

We're shooting under 40% at the moment. Alzee with eight though.

[emmitt01]

There was a time when, if I didn't have something else VERY important to do, I would go to watch Vic Trillion or Todd Dodge coached teams when I KNEW they would lose. Nothing important to do tonight and sittin' on my couch.
