UTEP (3/5/22)

[meangreenacct]

Need to play lock down D next couple of possessions with no fouls. If Bell could just hit 65% of free throws today…

Never over with this team. Already back down within reachable distance. I have this feeling that NT will lead only once, but it will be when the clock hits zero

[TheColonyEagle]

Are these refs getting paid by the whistle 

[RBTX]

Looks like we may also have to fight the refs on this comeback as well...

[NorthTexasSportsNetwork]

We cut into the lead, and lose it right after. Defensive stops are getting more scarce.

UTEP 59 -------- NT 51

 

2:46 to go

 

Looking grim now.  

[Gibbz]

UTEP did all they could to give this away but UNT is just hellbent on losing today it seems. That turnover on the break was inexcusable.

The problem with digging such a huge hole in the first place.

[MeanGreenTexan]

Gonna need some of these 3balls to fall if we’re gonna dig this one out.

[BillySee58]

That was a huge missed opportunity on McBride fumbling the ball away on a transition layup opportunity with a chance to cut the lead to 4. 

[UNT Texas Hooligan]

Game over. We can’t hit water if we fell out of a boat

I hate to point it out - but he’s really struggled today.

[MDH]

Hopefully this is the one we needed to get out of our system. 

[MeanGreenTexan]

Man, I’m glad they got this sloppy game out of the way now & not next Thursday.

Drez has not had a good game today.  Now we have to win the conference tournament, there is no chance at an at-large bid now.

So sad!!

[Andrew]

We roll this 7 man rotation out for the CUSA tournament and the odds are against us to win. These guys are exhausted. Can’t make free throws, can’t make lay ups, can’t make open threes. We have a bench for a reason. 8 man rotation would do wonders for our offensive efficiency. 

[Gibbz]

This is really pathetic. Down 7 and missed 15 freakin' free throws.

[Pavlovs Eagle]

YOULL PAY FOR THIS MINEROOOOOSSSSSSS!

[Gibbz]

Fittingly the game ends on a horseshit call from this absolutely horrific crew today.

[UNT Texas Hooligan]

Can someone lock Bell in the gym and not let him out until he makes 100 straight free throws? Bye bye any chance of a ranking.

The top bracketologists had us below the cut line coming into the game anyways. The only way we were getting above the cut line would have been by winning every game including the Conference title game, which obviously would make the cut line irrelevant. I really think it’s always been about needing to win the CUSA tournament to get in.

UTEP 70 -------- NT 68

 

 

Final

[Andrew]

That wide open dunk by Abou looks really bad now…. Lose by 2…. 😒
