I was basing it on ntmeangreen11's prediction, was all.

Ah, I didn't get the reference.

Derail Green with a late layup to make sure the wrong color Eagles trail 27-26 at the half.

Yeah yeah, 'just wait til he has his guys', 'just wait til the locker room cancer(s) aren't here', etc...

Heard it all before during the last 4+ years.

I'm just saying we will be better. We are a deep team. We have major issues but we have depth and talent. We cannot get into a flow offensively. We need two guys to get hit on the same night and that just doesn't seem to happen. We also need to play better D and stick to man more. Lawson and Brown could lock somebody down on the perimeter and Brice is a force in the paint. We are a terrible team right now but it seems like we should have a chance to win. They just need to roll with the Littrel montra and tee it high and let it fly.

I don't mind a zone to help protect Ricky from foul trouble and let him be imposing inside.

The available pieces should be much better next semester but I have doubts about how effectively they will be employed.

[Andrew]

Well at the point half our team is going to foul at... refs decided at half they didn't call enough fouls on us or what?

[greenminer]

Niagara takes the 31-29 lead.

[Army of Dad]

34-32 bad color Eagles; 15:21.

Purple dude #32's face kinda looks like a permanent Guy Fawkes mask.

As you know, the concept of the Bedford pump is centuries old. Really that's all this is except that instead of sucking water, I'm sucking life. I've just sucked 4 seasons of your life away. I might one day go as high as five, but... I really don't know what that would do to you, so let's just start with what we have. What did this do to you? Tell me. And remember, this is for posterity, so be honest. How do you feel? 

[Army of Dad]

We regain the lead. 43-39; 11:36

HOF worthy post

[RushnStudies]

65-51 good guys at the 3:51 OTO.

[Army of Dad]

Opening up the lead a bit now 65-51, just 3:47 left in the game.

Purple Eagles trying to make it a game, 70-63 UNT; 54.7 left 

[Army of Dad]

Benford gets his first D1 win of the year, 80-71.

[EagleMBA]

 

[Andrew]

Our losses to Texh and Rutgers don't look to terrible. Both teams looking really impressive this year. A combined 11-1. Losing to Drexel was horrible though ?

[meanrob]

Even a broke squirrel is blindly right twice a day. 

 

[greenminer]

Welp, we beat a D1 team.  So there's that.

MGB: Late night hoops rewind

Give them credit, NT played a solid game for the most part.   First game I've seen this year were they had a sibilance of an offense.  Niagara is not a good team, but with all the injuries and poor play the Green has had; it was a promising performance.   

[CMJ]

I was doing family stuff today, but glad to see we won.

[Matt from A700]

I predicted wins the first three games of this home stand, but Hartford only lost to Rutgers by 2 in Piscataway. Sunday game will be tough.

[RushnStudies]

Seriously? Army of Dad and I give score updates and get downvoted?? Guy Fawkes must've been lurking in between timeouts.

I haven't been to any BB games yet this season, so I plan on seeing Benny roll the ball on to the court with my own two eyes this evening. How long we stay is another matter.

How long did you stay?

They beat Drexel by 20? Pretty sure I know what that means for us.

Really?

Brown, Bruce, and Lawson are the real deal for underclassmen. 

Holston and Fuller are disappointments.

I read a lot, but don't comment.  But some of these statements are interesting.  How can Fuller be a disappointment when hasn't played a game this year?

He was supposed to be that big banger that grabbed rebounds last year and he never really lived up to that. I believe he can become that, but it was a disappointment last year. So far this year I guess I'm disssapointed he hasn't suited up to show me he can be that banger. I can't even tell if he is injured or what this year.
