Old Dominion (1/22/22)

[UNTLifer]

Ol’ Jeff Jones has been eatin’ well. 

[greenminer]

W are up 21 points with 6'40" left in 1H.  17-2 run.  hard to overstate how comfortable we look, and how out of sync ODU is.

I don't know if this is how good we are, or how bad ODU is.

I'll take it though.

per ESPN, ODU offense averages 67.1 ppg

I have a feeling they won’t make it there tonight. 
 

34-12 good guys 5:13 to go in the first

This far in the season I would feel safe stating it is how good we are.

Every time I see us play, I'm thinking "gosh we look small. We can't be that small". This crosses my mind at some point every game.

But it seems we really are.

That may be the case... and yet... NT keeps winning.

Random thought:

We are 15+ games into this season, and ODU looks like they have no idea who we are or how we play.  Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I find this striking.

I think this is one way of validating how good Coach Grant is.

Crowd is….sad. 
 

[greenminer]

Reminds me of years ago, UTEP went into halftime against USM with a 40-15 lead.

[emmitt01]

Our ball movement is exceptional tonight.  It’s scary to think this team may just now be finding its stride. 

[Andrew]

Really hoping Perry can come back and isn’t out for an extended period of time. A 6 man rotation will get smoked 9/10 times….

[greenminer]

unrelated, but with 4 and a half minutes left in 1H, Houston is up 34-9 over ECU.

[outoftown]

In half one NT commited 3 fouls for a grand total of 2(!) free trows for ODU (neither of which was made). Maybe that says something about the refs. maybe it says something about ODU not driving hard enough. But it sure says something about this NT teams discipline.

Don’t tell the refs this…. They will try to even it out.

Still no Perry during warm ups 😞

[Andrew]

Jacob Holman said Grant more reserved that Johnny Jones. He said Johnny would yell and not let you pass haha. He said he threatened to pull Cameron’s scholarship during a practice due to lack of hustle and if he did that again lol. 

[Tom McKrackin]

The Perry injury appears serious.  He is on the bench and I just noticed he put his warmup shirt back on which typically means he’s done.  Let’s keep him in our prayers and hope for a speedy rehab.

No details but it it appears serious as he is out for the half according to Hank.  On a separate note, sure enjoy Jacob Holman being on the broadcast.  Would like to see him on a full time basis.  Also why is the play by play guy wearing ODU colors?  Isn’t he a UNT grad?

Announcers said it’s a back injury. They had on Jacob Holman and he said it looked serious but hopefully not a season ending. Probably just a lingering issue. Could rest and go on the road.

I am watching online and heard he was done for the game but Dave and Hank haven’t provided information on the extent/nature of the injury.  Going to need Browne, Stone or Zephyr to step up.

I bet Jeff Jones smells like the kitchen at a KFC. 
 

JJ needs to hit some shots. One person isn’t going to make up Perry’s points but it will have to be spread out amongst a couple players. 

[UNTLifer]

I love JJ, but he is a mess on the break. 

Edited January 23, 2022 by UNTLifer

[Tom McKrackin]

Ousmane is really struggling this half.  JJ is also being sloppy.  Need to straighten this crap out!

[emmitt01]

I don’t know why everyone is taking Perry’s absence from the game as evidence that his injury is “serious.”  This game has consistently been North Texas by 10+ points…why would you risk bringing him back in when the result is in hand?
