Troy (11/25/15)

[CMJ]

Last game of the Mean Green Challenge.  I apologize, I was mistaken when I called this the Classic.

Somehow, the Challenge seems like a terrific name for this event given the results so far.

Can we win this game tonight or are we going to lose again by two points?

From what I was reading in the Idaho game it looks like we can't make free throws. If we would have made all our free throws we would have won by six points I think.

Idaho was missing too. They missed, I believe 7 of 8 down the stretch to give us a chance.

Bad when the tournament field was apparently picked to add early wins and momentum, and turns out just the opposite.

Even worse is losing by two point each game. If we lose by two again today I am out haha

We should have invited Portland State.

We should have invited Portland State.

Would their Bball team score more than their football team?

This will be my first, and potentially my last, visit to the Pit this season...wish me luck.

[CMJ]

Meeting a former colleague for a late lunch.  I'll probably miss most of the game.

I'll be there and will try to post updates.

I'm heading out into 35E north traffic as we speak. We better win, because I need whatever pleasure I can find before a full day with relatives.

Good luck. You may need it. It really could be a very fun environment. Bad basketball is prohibiting that though.

Samford won the mean green challenge  earlier today.

Was some sort of trophy given to Samford?

 

(I'll be taking off in about twenty minutes - might be back for the final I guess, but probably not)

[Andrew]

More shooting and less passing..... Come on guys!

Do we not watch what other teams do.... They are not restrained and have the freedom to shoot from where they want and when they want. We deserve to loose if the players cannot shoot the ball and have some freedom. I am basing this off the last two games. This issue was fixed each of the last two seasons, but it took us losing tons before it was fixed.

8-5 Troy, 15:32. 

A little sloppy to start.

Trojans on an 8-0 run.

 

[Andrew]

There we go shoot the ball and attack the offensive glass!

Dan where ya sitting? Down behind the UNT bench if you wanna chat. 

We look like we have played 3 games in 3 days. 

[Andrew]

Turnovers are going to end our season today.... Ridiculous! Do we even practice offense? 

[GMG24]

harris has lost his mind again. Don't expect to see him back in. Won't sit with team in timeout

11:56 to go

 

Looks like a good time to check out.

[Army of Dad]

15-9 Troy. 11:56. 

Good: Combs just made a pair of free throws

Not good: Combs looks to have hurt his left wrist. (Last night injury I think)

oh and this is happening in front of hundreds of fans. No joke, I don't see how we could have 1,000 people in here.

To be fair yes it was a horrible turnover, but Reese turns it over 9 times and stays in. Benford needs to just let them play and stop piling them after every little mistake.
