Cheering on my Green from the road. Had to get out of northern Colorado early so we couldn’t watch it at the cabin. 😕

NT 15 -------- LA Tech 12

 

7:35 to go

 

 

It is fun watching these two teams get after it on defense.  Beautiful stuff.  Maybe not a lot of scoring, but this is intense.

good god Lofton is a big boy

also... is that Avery Johnson on the call?

This game is making me reminisce about some of the best defensive games I've ever seen.

[CMJ]

LA Tech 18 -------- NT 17

 

3:09 to go

 

 

Now they're the ones with the suffocating defense.  That blocked layup was crazy good.

[Matt from A700]

Bulldog defense intense. What should have been our easiest 2 points even got blocked.

[BillySee58]

Murray has played well in Frisco but I don’t know why he didn’t just drop that off to Reese with no other defender anywhere close.

[greenminer]

Stay within five

[greenjoe]

Love how Twitter people mimic the broadcast crew calling the game haha. 
 

yes yes we all agree. Hopefully in the second half he starts pulling up and hitting a few to open up the court.

24-22 Meangreen lead

[Tom McKrackin]

At half

[Matt from A700]

Not many fouls or even turnovers in the first half. Let's FINISH THIS!!!

I’m hoping so because we need a slower pace to keep our guys a little fresher.

 

I wish Mac would at least give everyone on the bench 2-4 minutes spread out to simply rest our key guys. We can burn clock of anything just to get some rest. I trust Jackson to sit on the ball for 25 seconds every possession.

Solid first half. It’s the slugfest I expected

What if MGRN has a Twitter feed at their side, and they are the ones mimicking?!?!?

Horrible refs in last minute of half.   Foul on three shooter, who obviously kicked NT defensive player and than followed by a bad call on Simmons blocking a shot.

From CUSA refs!?  Certainly you jest.

Side note, how awesome is it for The Star to shut off the water fountains because of Covid so they can charge $4 for bottled water.

Because of my work schedule, this is my first basketball game of the season and I only made it to one football game. Does anyone know if Apogee or the Super Pit did the same?

[CMJ]

Both teams are really giving it all on defense.  They might be expending as much energy as they wuould in a faster tempo game.
