Louisiana Tech (2/5/21)

[emmitt01]

We had this game, we just didn’t know how to finish

[CMJ]

LA Tech 68 -------- NT 63

 

Final

 

[CMJ]

We were ahead and I had to go do something for the missus...come back and there were like 40 seconds left and we were down four.  I'll take the blame.

[UNT Texas Hooligan]

Unbelievable second half

[RiseUNT]

Force the big freshman to his left.

[Green Lantern]

We had our chances. Gotta tip your cap to Crawford of La Tech. Dude’s a problem.

[bstnsportsfan3]

Crawford dominated us. Tomorrow i would double him all game and let zach go one on one with the freshman center instead of double teaming the center. 

[BillySee58]

Run offense late, not Hamlet hero ball. Likely down to the wire tomorrow again so need to make those late possessions count.

[southsideguy]

we need to run lofton off the court,  we could wear him down real quick.   They beat us at our own game-Defense.

[UNTLifer]

Wish just once when we drive into the lane early in a possession that we would look to shoot instead of kicking it out. 

[Manlaw35]

Great game UNT! I would bet the best game of college basketball tonight. What a slug fest. Tough turn around tomorrow. Our young guys Cobe Williams, Kenneth Lofton and Isiah Crawford are so good. 

[Coach Andy Mac]

La Tech is legit.  Hope we can even it out tomorrow.

[Manlaw35]

Williams and Crawford are from the DFW area and Lofton is from Port Arthur, TX. So many good basketball players in Texas.

This. Like the Mavs, over-reliant on the 3 ball. If it doesn't fall (like tonight) we are in trouble

They were unreal tonight.  Congrats.  It was a game of runs in the second half and y’all made it count when it mattered most.

We almost landed Crawford

Tough loss. Need to come out swinging tomorrow. And be prepared for a LT squad that ain’t gonna back down. This weekend is an 80 minute brawl. They won the first half.

This.  The young man is good, but he was sucking wind at our slow pace.

[NorthTexasSportsNetwork]

So I’ve never seen a team that’s flops so much. Absolutely unreal how many times La Tech flopped.

Other than that, just didn’t close the game and for some reason a lot of bunnies and easy layups under the basket were missed.

Also, I think it’s time to start Rubin. Drez is missing so much from 3 when we need it.

Did you see Game 2? I did not, and was wondering if this is why he didn't do as well today.

I saw the end of the first half and the second half.  Didn't really notice.
