Rice (1/30/16)

[CMJ]

A winnable game.  I have an event tonight, so it is unlikely I'll listen.  Someone post the tower or the dumpster fire depending on the result. 

[Rudy]

Weigh the odds and go ahead and post the dumpster fire pic.

You going to the UNT Alumni/Advancement event and then the game itself tonight in Houston?

In Los Angeles?  No.

OK, well, that would be a big commute, but thought I would ask.  Have fun at your event there in Tinsel Town.  Be safe, and hopefully, you will not have to start another dumpster fire after this one...one can hope, right?

[Andrew]

Not looking good... We lose this one we should place Shelton as interim head coach and let Evans walk if he wants.

Combs continue to be a beast. He picked up his 7th straight double-double before the first half was even over.

At the game tonight, good energy but missing close baskets. Combs looks great so far

[MCMLXXX]

Bench is 0 for everything  except for 4 fouls and 3 turnovers.   We need Brice to be healthy.

Still out due to a concussion.

[Greendylan]

0 rebounds, assists, or points for the bench thus far.  I think I know how this story will end after yet another competitive first half.

[Harry]

55-48 Owls lead by 7 -- 3 minutes into 2nd half.  

[UNTFan23]

I guess it's a good thing all 14 teams in the conference can make it into the tournament?

They do have four fouls and a couple turnovers though!

I thought we were suppose to have a deep team and the most talented set of guards in 4 years. Not seeming to be the case.

And the NT Bench finally manages some points. Carrington Ward hits a trey.

Final in Houston

NT 87

Rice 95

The end is nearing.

"They didn't call that. We haven't been getting calls all year. They should've called that."

- on a foul that should've been called against Combs

Should be by the next game I would think.  We are now the bottom of the barrel pretty much and don't have a lot of room to move. Get Shelton in there and see if he can make adjustments and get the offense rolling.

Changing coaches will solve nothing, IMO. You're living a dream if you think otherwise.

We cannot get any worse and having Evans take over would do nothing. I rather see what Shelton can do. He is the only person on that bench who might actually have potential. 

[DeepGreen]

We lack coaching and overall talent.

How do you think a coaching change will get more bench production? It's too late to install some sort of offensive system.

[outoftown]

Changing coaches asap is not about saving this season. It is about getting a new guy in asap so he has a staff ready to go in terms of recruiting and is not behind the 8-ball in recruiting for next season and has time to try to convince some of the better current players to stay.

It cannot hurt. Putting in Chico didn't hurt. Was he successful? No, but it was a change and sent a message. Now would be a good time for that message. 5 game skid and losing to the worst team in our conference is not inspiring. I still won't miss a game regardless, but I do think a choaching change couldn't make us any worse.
