Marshall (1/4/20)

[CMJ]

We come in hoping for a road split this week.  Herd blew out Rice on Thursday. 

[Andrew]

Down 10-2 at the 17 minute mark.

Seems like a long day might be in store.

[Andrew]

Got the lead. This marshal team plays way out of control. We should win this game. Marshal isn’t good.

Terrific fight back from the good guys after falling down nine.

[CMJ]

NT 19 --------- MU 17

 

7:50 to go

 

Things calmed down a bit in that segment.  Not as crazy back and forth action.

MU 31 --------- NT 29

 

Halftime

[BillySee58]

Playing good defense for the most part. They play inside out. Drives and post ups are designed to get kick out threes. It’s Houston Rockets ball. They don’t want to score out of post ups and West doesn’t drive to the basket to score. Gotta stay in front and stay home on the shooters. 

But offensively is where we need to pick it up.

Nice start to the half.  Feels like the kind of game that's gonna be a fight to the end.  Other than their initial big lead, this entire game has been played within a few points.

Went on a 7-0 run...they return the favor with a 5-0 answer.

[Andrew]

It’s quiet in here. 😕 

 

how does football get so many posters but basketball has like 3 or 4. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[MrAlien]

good game so far, UNT seems to be playing good defense 

[Salsa_Verde]

....The dreaded second half is coming.

Coming right down to the wire.  This is the kind of game you expect in league play.

No. Basketball is the superior sport and becoming far more popular nationally. It seems to be where our university is more competitive and there is no more football for us anyway. I don’t see how football gets so many. 

[Salsa_Verde]

Oof...this is going to come down to the wire.

NT 63 --------- MU 59

Mean Green went on a 9-0 run, but Herd brought it back.

[Andrew]

Thank goodness Marshall didn’t know what was going on at the end. We get the W. Marshal looked so bad those last two possessions. 

[BillySee58]

Dang good win. Marshall had been playing well at home.

[Harry]

HUGE win!!

So did we. We need to work on our late game offense and fighting pressure still.

[UNT Texas Hooligan]

Marshall 🤡🤡🤡. But seriously, we did everything we could to give that game away at the end and still pulled it out somehow 

[Salsa_Verde]

A weird win but a win. Marshall will be kicking themselves after they look at the game film. 
 

GMG!
