Sam Houston State (12/10/11)

Was kinda hoping that SHSU would bring in a few fans, but doubt they have any seeing that their football team is playing @ home toady in the FCS quarterfinals

About to tip. GMG

NT 6

SHSU 0

SHSU timeout

Jumped out of the gate early.

NT 10

SHSU 8

13:57 to go

We obviously got off to a great start. But then Chris Jones got two fouls, and our attack has suffered.

SHSU 12

NT 10

11:30 to go

We are realy struggling running the offense without Jones (and the injury to Norris). Can't get any sort of offensive flow now. Thankfully the Bearkats have turned it over about six times.

SHSU 14

NT 10

6:55 to go

I think we've gome 9:30 without scoring.

SHSU 20

NT 14

3:48 to go

Both teams scoring a little bit now. We still look lost out there on offense without our two PG's.

SHSU 25

NT 22

Halftime

As rough as the offense was, I will take a 3 point deficit.

Why is Chris Jones not playing?

So... We bench our top scorer for being wild for 15 minutes of the 1st half. Yet, the rest of the team is wild as all get-out and get to play???

This isnt the same situation as benching tristan when we have a winning record. And for heavens sake, someone else please help me yell at them to stop shooting 3's.

He had 2 fouls....the general rule is you sit any player with 2 fouls in the 1st half.

SHSU 25

NT 24

17:43 to go

Bearkat timeout

NT 29

SHSU 27

15:45 to go

We came out really crashing the glass in the second half.

SHSU 34

NT 32

11:19 to go

This is just a defensive slog. Playing much better than in the first half though.

Your leading scorer? Sorry 15 minutes is excessive when you have more to give

I've seen coaches sit their best player for 18 minutes in the first half. You don't want them to pick up a cheap 3rd before halftime.

Absolutely give me the cheap 3rd when you are losing, have our record, and cant get anything going offensively for 10 of those minutes.

If SHSU was scoring, JJ probably would have put him in. But the Bearkats really didn't take adavantage. They were up by all of 3 points at halftime.
