Women win too, doing what a decent team should do to FAU: dominate (79-57). That is now two wins in a row, now 5-6 in conference and starting to look fairly ggod for making the conference tournament, maybe even an okish seed.

Dominate? I attended the game, and while the final score appears that UNT dominated they actually did no such thing...the game was definitely in doubt at half (3-5 point lead for UNT) and it wasn't under control until the last 2/3rds of the 4th quarter. Way way too many turnovers and some early poor shooting by UNT allowed a pretty poor FAU team to hang around.  Now, that being said...this Jalie Mitchell team never quits and never seems out of a game...even when playing a tad poorly early.  They just hang in and find a way to win.  A sign of a good team is one that beats a team they should beat even when playing not up to the top of their game.  This was tonight and may have been a bit expected...playing a team with a bottom feeder record when coming off a big comeback road win in their last game.  So, yes, you are exactly right...they did what they should have done...but, dominate...not so much.  I think we might just see that dominate win by the ladies Saturday over FIU.  Ladies seem to be getting it together, in spite of some injury issues, just at the right time as the conference tourney looms.  Ladies looking good to make the tournament any be the team that no other team really wants to play.

Congrats to both the women and men tonight.  Light that tower double green!
