  1. Thoughts from a basketball loving GMG fan......... ANY AND ALL CONFERENCE ROAD WINS ARE HUGE! Vegas had a 3.5 pt line for a reason. I don't care if you're in the Big East, B12, or the freaking MAAC, every coach will sign up for road W's. Thought JJ was tremendous, what a boost getting a double digit scoring night from him. Abou was spectacular and I can't help get excited about his future in Green. As for T Bell, the back to the basket is by design. other teams are switching live ball screens and Mac uses TB to space, draw doubles and distribute. He's very capable in that roll, just can't have the ball stick as much. Rebounding was a plus all night, just a Grant team being the toughest team on the floor. Didn't like the 16 TOs, that's a recipe for disaster with this team and absolutely can't do that Saturday. Also, better start hitting FTs at a higher clip..... All and all, big win to set the table for Saturday, going to need all the shot making come tomorrow.

  2. Not saying this game will be easy by any stretch, but beating the Hillfloppers won’t be some miracle. We have a common opponent in Buffalo. They lost to them by ten, 77-67 We lost to them by three, 69-66 (and I already regret bringing this game up, because I know I just triggered several of you)

  3. Also remiss if I didn’t shout out Perry for the cold blooded Hamletesque runner in the lane down the stretch. Amazing shot.

  4. That was my fear too, when they allowed the one year transfer and all the out right buying of players through NIL it favors the stronger programs. Woolridge and Gibson both bolted for the bigger lights and probably more moolah. My approach now is just concentrate on the season and not worry about next year's free agency. As long as NT can hold on to McCasland, I think NT will be at the top of CUSA or the AAC.

  5. A change.org petition isn't the same thing as a school planning to restart football. When someone from their administration says they are going to investigate restarting then I'll believe they are actually interested. The last I saw in any news article, UTA administrators were says they were NOT even looking into football, although that was pre-pandemic.

  6. That was a great job down the stretch. Murray with his best shooting game of the year, Abou with the best game of his career, Perry with the big shot making, and Bell with the huge defensive play at the end.

  7. Way to gut it out. Props to Bell for a game changing block there. Never apologize for any conference road wins!

  11. Probably a little of both. Watching the replay now and finally seeing this exchange he had with Early that earned technicals for both. Not gonna lie: I will be watching how these two handle each other in future matchups. Early walked away last night with 5 points, 1 board, and the loss. Not a good look on him. Does he continue to just run his mouth and not contribute?

  12. Our lack of a bench could be the difference on a short turn around. With Western's height, maybe we will see Wright get a chance to earn his way back into the rotation. I think we have learned by now that Grant will play with 5 before he gives in and plays someone who won't play the way he demands. It can be really frustrating for fans but I think Grant knows what is best for his program. He's earned that! We'd all love to win the conference regular season title but it's how you play in the tournament that really counts. Go Mean Green.

  19. Being the husband of an elementary teacher, I think I can help offer a different point of view here (because I hear about it all the time): Any good teacher who cares for their kids does not want to go virtual... at all. Administration also does not want to do this. I'm willing to bet most parents also don't want to go virtual again either. However, hospitals are starting to fill up again with Covid patients. So, desperate times call for desperate measures. There are some wacky options out there that School districts are trying to utilize (like this weird one in Boston) to keep in-person education happening. I assure you a lot of thought goes into it, and every teacher worth a damn in Boston would rather open their windows ALL THE WAY UP than go back home & try to teach virtually. Granted, Omicron seems to be much less deadly than it's predecessors (normal for viruses to mutate in this way: increase communicability, decrease fatality, to provide itself the best chances of spreading & staying alive), it's still this new virus that we're unsure of. And, the original (much more deadly) SARS-CoV-2 is still out there as well. So we're not yet to the point of going back to normal. Hopefully we can soon. I'm hoping this latest surge of Omicron might be the last one, and we can start getting back to normal after this.

  20. If it had been Cincinnati vs. Michigan or even Cinci vs. Georgia the viewership would have been up. People are just tired of the SEC domination and seeing the same few teams in the playoff every year.

  21. Marshall is a one man team. You remove Kinsey and they are not very good. He was either scoring, making some unbelievable shots, or creating opportunities for teammates.

Team Statistics Team Statistics Game Stats UNT Marsh FG% .481 .453 3FG% .389 .235 FT% .571 .722 RB 41 26 TO 16 7 STL 5 9 A few stats clearly show where we were clearly dominant and also areas where there may be room for improvement. Overall it's a good victory over a very scrappy team desperately fighting for it's relevance in league play.

  26. The SEC wants all the resources and titles, the media wants all the viewership. The SEC is fine with current state of CFP, but I think the media is gonna have to consider expansion/change. My guess is the media has the leverage and will get what it wants.

  27. Both college football and college basketball have been ruined, for different reasons, but they both can still be enjoyed, just not like they ever were before. College football has been ruined as we know it because of the NIL, transferring immediately now, Power Conferences creating a monopoly with no Cinderella possibility, and accepting 6-6 as bowl worthy by creating way too many bowl games, of which many nfl-to-be players skip out on. Watered down the entire meaning of a championship or strong season. College hoops got ruined by the NBA accepting players out of high school, but then changing to allow one-and-dones. We hardly know anyone on teams from year-to-year, now the mid-majors lose their talent to power teams, and the best kids leave ASAP. And now, the G league and international leagues are getting kids directly out of high school. Money rules the day. It just happened to ruin my two favorite sports.

  30. Just shows how our season went and the continued improvement through the year. Early we lost to a La Tech team that we would have beaten later in the year. Late in the year we beat two teams that ended up ranked ahead of us. I'm looking forward to next year.

  32. I’m not going to get too into weeds into why this is happening or what can be done. That’s an equally long post and one I’m not the best person to write it. But what I do think is important to think about is that for many years, a lot of us tried to ignore this as a short-term trend. The BCS was too small. Nick Saban is too good. ESPN has an SEC bias. Nebraska, Michigan, USC, and Notre Dame are just one hire away from being right back there. Sure. There are portions of truth to all of those things. But how much of that is scapegoating the reality of a very real trend of regionalization of college football? How long does a perceived short-term new normal become the permanent new reality? When only a portion of the country enjoys the highs of a sport, it shrinks the audience elsewhere because it reaffirms the idea of a lower level of realistic achievement for your rooting interest. As elite coaches and top-tier recruits migrate towards the South the regional imbalance grows as does the level of interest in the sport.

  33. Maybe something like this? Our softball team had these last year, but of course the AD did not want fans to have the ability to purchase.

  34. I'm not convinced. I know it feels good (noble?) to talk about the sanctity and amateurism that used to be college sports, but deep down I think the casual fan just wants to see the team wearing their uniforms beat the team that's not wearing their uniforms, regardless of the money behind tossed around off the field. I'm more inclined to to think the drop in viewership is mostly driven by people knowing their team is not in the picture, and not even being considered for the playoffs.

  35. I live in Nashville, reports are saying there will be 3-7 inches of snow, last week we got a similar snowfall (maybe less) and the city took at least a day to recover. This storm is expected to start on Saturday evening and run through mid-day Sunday.

  38. Thanks. I found it and just finished watching. It didn't appear Stone was on the side line. Is he hurt? Also, surprised Wright isn't getting any minutes. We are going to need that depth on Saturday. Good road win.

  40. Gutsy win, no matter what record Marshall has. Ousmane's best game ever, could NT have a developing star or is Marshall just weak in the paint? NT going to have to play a lot better Saturday. NT again appeared to only play 7 players. Murray with 3 threes, unexpected, but certainly needed.

  41. Got to check into the broadcast with 2 minutes remaining. Obviously, I have tons of accurate insight.... Abou has leveled up into beast mode. Can he stay there? Look for teams to continue to find ways to force the ball 1) away from Perry, then 2) into Bell's hands, if possible. Make Bell try to get creative.
