Rice (1/29/21)

[UNT Texas Hooligan]

Our 3 point shooting is atrocious today

[CMJ]

Rice 37 ------- NT 36

 

Halftime

 

 

Usually our offense is the strength of the team.  Not that half!

Came out guns blazing in the second half, keep it going!

NT 47 ------- Rice 42

 

15:23 to go

 

 

Defense showing up this half so far.  Forcing turnovers always helps!

Looks like Rice is avg-ing 78.3 ppg, 76 in CUSA.

Per the above tweet, it will be interesting to see if we can hold them at-or-around 60 this weekend.

EDIT: at this rate, today's game is not looking good.

They are, but look at the opponents they have put up their points against.

Starting to get a tiny bit of separation.

Javion came to play indeed.

Rice just won't go away. We start pulling away, they keep clawing their way back

NT 62 ------- Rice 59

We put the Owls in the bonus with like 10 minutes to go.  They're gonna shoot a ton of free throws.  Thankfully they've struggled at the line so far.

Hamlet is carrying us today with 27.

Nervy finish but a win is a win, especially against a Rice team many thought would be in the conference title conversation 

[UNTLifer]

Following on ESPN Gamecast at work.  Did J.J. Murray really foul their guard on a three point shot with seconds left?

All About UNT tried to jinx it by posting the tower early, but we managed to hold on anyway.  😉

Good win considering the travel. Flying in Thursday and flying back when the game got moved. Let's get the sweep Sunday! Go Mean Green

Really? They didn't just stay in Houston?

[Green Lantern]

Love all road wins!!
 

Having Hamlet down the stretch of games being such a superior FT shooter is an amazing advantage for us. Reminds me of Josh White in those scenarios. Automatic and capable of shutting the door on a comeback attempt and ice games away. What a great player Hamlet is!

[Greendylan]

Rice always hits a million threes against us (especially in Houston), and they shot nearly 50% from downtown today, but we still got the win.  I think that's a good sign.
