SHSU is almost a conference member for us this year since we play them home and away. I sure would like to win both. I'll need to do some research on them, but I figure this should be a tough road game for us(those old Southland rivals usually are).

Anybody from Houston gonna make this trip? I think I might be going, gotta check the schedule.

where is sam houston and how far is it from denton?

It's in Huntsville which is little over 200 miles away towards Houston

And yes, these games won't be easy.

My son and I are going to the game. We live only about an hour away in Kingwood. We are meeting my cousin who was a big booster for Sam from his day as the local Chevy dealer. They beat tech at home last year and lost to them in Lubock last night,

I'll probably make it out that way, should be fun.

would love to go, but my son's football team is still in the playoffs. will definitely be at the u of h game on the 29th.

I'm thinking about it; I won't know if I can take the time off until tomorrow. Anyone else from Sugar Land or SW Houston going?

The last time I tried to head north on I-45 was the Friday of Homecoming weekend. I left Sugar Land at 2:15 and didn't get to Huntsville until around 5:00. Needless to say, I didn't make it to Denton in time for the bonfire. I took the Hardy Toll Road, and that was OK, but the traffic on I-45 from the Woodlands through Conroe took forever. It was still a bit slow past Conroe until after Huntsville. Who knows how long it might take during rush hour?

Take the Beltway to 249 which changes to 1173 (I think) in Magnolia. Follow this north to Plantersville and turn east on 105 into Conroe. Then head north on 45.

Alright fellas...game is about to start.

CMJ - sorry. I just started a "gametime comments" for this game... I scanned the topics and didn't see anything... I should have used this thread.

It's alright...just figured it'd be better to keep it one thread. No worries....we'll use the other one.

Unusual starting five...

White and Dennis not a surprise, but McCoy and Hogans are. Odufuwa starting at 5 rather than 4 this time.

Just keep this thread going.. No problem....... BTW, McCoy the the start... everyone, including me, thought he should.... hopefully he'll produce.

15:43 1st half

NT 9
Bad Guys 5

McCoy with 3 fouls already.

McCoy doesn't seem to take advantage of his opportunities... he finally gets the start, and picks up 3 quick fouls... aside from his 1 "perfect game" he seems to have some bad luck when opportunities come his way... we know he is a superior athlete but he just cant seem to put it together on the floor.... I hope that this changes this game.

7:58 1st half

Johnson is playing fantastic off the bench.

No surprise to me.... the good players always have a great game following a lousy one... I think Johnson could end being a great one for us... time will tell.

Its nice to be able to say that again.

Very nice, quality road win!!

Its gonna be a fun one at the pit on Dec. 3.

As bad as the football team is, I really hope everybody will support this team.

Big win...who was the sound engineer for KNTU, the three stooges?

I didn't listen to the whole game, and I don't know the players names very well yet, so a bit hard to follow, but it sounds like UNT's got some good coaching going on...in basketball.

Way to go guys! Can we really call it a quality win? no sarcasm, really curious, are they a div 1 school?

Yes. We used to be in the same conference as them.

Sam Houston beat Texas Tech last year at home. They had a 45 game OOC win streak, 2nd only to Duke. Not an easy place to win.

Off their official site.

Well then hurrah!

Sam Houston State had 8 votes in the latest Mid-Major polls.

As CMJ said, this team hadn't lost to an OOC foe at home since 1998 and has had 20+ win seasons for the last 3 years.
