Halftime

 

We kinda had a rough patch to end the first half

[ChristopherRyanWilkes]

33-34 at half. Should have been leading but some dumb mistakes down the stretch.

Down 1 with Smart just 2-9. Not a bad predicament. Gotta like our chances if we can get him going

Still like our chances. We've looked like the better team in a lot of respects so far.

They had us as North Texas State on their schedule

What would our record in the major sports if opponents had to forfeit wins if they used/advertised NTSU?

Question, no info.

Love the heart of this team!

[GangGreen]

It is so refreshing to see our guys moving without the ball.

[GangGreen]

Temara owns the corner!!!!

[TheColonyEagle]

Need to get on a run quick or it's about to get away from us.

GU 68 ---- NT 56

 

 

3:53 to go

 

Hoyas have been slowly putting it away over the last 6-7 minutes.

[MeanGreenDan]

Falling apart here at the end.

Great 3/4 of a game against a good team, regardless of how it turns out.

Final

[Andrew]

Great competitive game by the guys tonight. We still need a little more bench support, but when your go to guy goes 1-13 from deep it’s going to difficult to win. I’m hoping Miller gets it going soon. He was shooting over 40% from deep and averaging around 17 points a game. I’m wondering why he hasn’t adjusted better. 

[Jason Howeth]

Bummer.

[drex]

Good game against a tall team...need a little more depth.

[Harry]

We’re just not there yet but A for effort.

[EagleMBA]

Watched and enjoyed the game, was not embarrassed, and admit to shouting profanities when we went so cold in the second half. The hustle was there! Looking forward to conference play.

[GrandGreen]

NT just played a very good team which had to rally to win.   Obviously they played to stop Smart and were very successful, he is going to have to learn when not to shoot.   Announcers called Woolridge the best player on the floor at one point.  

That team was very big and very good defensively, NT likely won't see that kind of talent in CUSA.  

Now the real season starts.  

[Mean Green Matt]

Hard to be upset when we see such improvement in a short period of time. 

[UNTLifer]

Observations:

1.  Fun team to watch.  First time in a long I have watched us play a known school and not look lost.

2.  Woolridge was a stud.  Just a smart, cool player.

3.  Love our hustle all the time.

4.  Need to learn not to drive in to a block. Catch and shoot, catch and shoot, lr make the extra pass.

5.  This team will make some noise in conference.

6.  So nice to see a well coached team.

 

[Felozano]

Only caught the second half, but i  loved fight of the team. It was a good game. 

[Matt from A700]

7-6 with a road win. And we were more than competitive in Norman, Arlington, and D.C. I don't think we had any better nonconference periods with Benford.

Benford's teams didn't win a non-conference road game in any of the last three seasons. In fact, they won one non-conference road game during his entire 5-year tenure and were consistently boat-raced. This was an impressive non-conference run in that we really made great strides and got better heading into conference play, which is exactly the point for us.

Absolutely. Even in just the time since the sour UTRGV loss, you can see a great difference.
