Southern Mississippi (1/20/18)

[Green Lantern]

This is brutal. One of the worst efforts of the season to this point. We look all kinds of out of sorts.

USM 54 ------------- NT 38

 

 

11:53 to go

 

Just can't climb back into this one.  Frustrating game to listen to.

[Matt from A700]

Surprise start to the season. Is this team finally starting to fall to earth?

This team has been incredibly frustrating to watch in conference play, outside of Smart. 41.7% from the line today, 21.4% from three. Consistently giving shooting efforts that are not division one caliber

short answer- no.

USM 69 ------------- NT 58

 

 

3:03 to go

 

 Almost had it close enough to really scare the Golden Eagles cutting it to seven a minute or so ago.

Watching this team not being able to make free throws on a consistent basis is what frustrates me the most.

Final

I thought Benford was back with all the substitutions by NT.   Team didn't quit as usual but didn't  play very good defense and as usual got clobbered on the freethrow line.  

Great game by Woolridge, but you have to shoot better at the freethrow line.   Best game by Arikawa by far.  Smart came on at the end, but too little too late.  

Hard team to beat at home supposedly, but didn't look like there was many there.  I have no idea what McCasland is trying to do with the front court.  This team is now so short handed at guard, plus USM looked weak in the paint; yet NT continued to go small.  

[BillySee58]

If Duffy is healthy, I want him to get some run with the starting unit. Looked solid against ODU. Having him, Smart, and Temara next to Woolridge gives you much more options offensively, particularly shooting, than having Lawson and Holston on the court with Woolridge

Our problem is we have one true scorer.

I know the jury is out on Sczcepanski, but can't help but feeling like her in particular would be changing things quite a bit. I haven't seen anything from @Brett Vito recently concerning her status. 

I talked to one of the assistant coaches and she is out for the season with an injury. This is going to be a tough season because almost half of the team is out for the season with injuries except Callie Owens and she has to sit out due to NCAA transfer rules.

Good grief.

Improvement has been made, but it is unforgivable that Benford was allowed to coach the whole year last year. Will take a lot more than 3-4 to get people to start caring about UNT basketball again at the level that JJ had it

Totally not trying to talk trash about Vito but it’s hilarious that all you did was walk up to one of the assistant coaches and poof! The answer people having been waiting for.
