Hawaii (11/11/18)

[Mean Green Matt]

And of course the Hawaii halftime show features the inaccurate history of the Mean Green nickname...

[Green Lantern]

High intensity first half for the Mean Green. Hope we can keep this up in the 2nd half. This is a very dangerous team.

Can’t wait to see them in person this week. Missed the first home game travelling for work.

Sorry don't have a periscope account, but am wondering what HI can do to exploit their size advantage better. What should NT be scared of?

Blame that on our athletic department.

Wren has been outstanding at so many things, but there are still a lot of small things that are overlooked by his staff.

That is a weird statement. He played the european U19 championship this summer.

Did you not listen to the last post game? They were talking about him not play and Grant said he hasn’t played competitive ball in 3 years so it’s going to take time to get use to the aggressive play of college ball. (At least that is what he said).

No hadn't heard the postgame yesterday. Still, the U19 europeans was just the summer. I would have thought that counts as competitive basketball.

Is this game being streamed or on cable?

[Harry]

This Hawaii analyst Tony Sallito in the orange shirt is right, UNT is forcing Hawaii to make a ton of passes which is causing them to make a lot of turnovers.  He said Hawaii should try to shoot the ball sooner and I expect that they will be doing that in the second half.

They definitely haven't perfected everything but how do you see this as an error on the staff? They aren't telepathic. How would the AD staff be expected to know a Hawaii broadcast would spend half time talking about the history of the Mean Green name? I'd blame Hawaii who is doing the broadcast and couldn't perform a simple google search.

Watch the Spectrum stream and listen to KNTU. The sound is not exactly synced, but there is a lot more information

Yeah, cause I can't hear this guy call us North Texas State one more time!!!

[Mean Green Matt]

Looked like Grant called a timeout just to be able to yell at Simmons sooner...

Once again, that's on our athletic staff.

[ADLER]

Do they award something to the winner of this tournament?

I don't think anyone ever wins it other than Hawaii.  Whomever scheduled North Texas may be regretting it about right now.

[outoftown]

Tikhonenko in now. Probably because Arikawe can't go.

Woolridge played every single minute so far.

Woolridge is such a good player.

I’m impressed. Good ball movement.

I honestly cannot believe we're blowing the out like this.  Very impressive.

[ADLER]

I think this is an improvement over the Tony Benford coaching.
