that was a good patch of play. get things down in the 5-ish point deficit range by half and you gotta kinda feel like you absorbed a bunch of punches, but are still standing. 

They can't shoot that well on the other basket, can they?

At least they haven't said UNT's lucky to be here.

Fran doesn’t talk like that.

Kick out my ass 

[Matt from A700]

Calling that a kick-out is a big reach.

[Dr.R]

I understand calling that call if its an over exaggeration of the leg kick out, but 💀come on now

[Censored by Laurie]

that is not what the kick-out call should be. coming off a screen like that the leg comes out for balance. that is a terrible call

[MeanGreen17]

The announcer really compared TP’s “kick out” to a flop……wow.

[RiseUNT]

I can tell you one thing through Grant’s body language he is already at Tech.

[rojomojo]

You guys think Grant leaves officially tomorrow?

Halftime

 

Gonna have to dig deep to get this one.

[BleedingGreen]

Stone had been very nervous.

[rojomojo]

UNT just can't escape the semifinal of anything

Yeah, nobody mentioned TP was making a hard change of direction.  BS call that should have cut it to 3.

[Censored by Laurie]

I'm beyond livid at that call. that was terrible officiating...not just because the call was wrong but because the refs let themselves be talked into it after Gard talked to them on that first three-point foul. absolute trash. 

[RiseUNT]

Every chucky highlight he kicks his leg out.

[meangreenacct]

Absolutely atrocious call on the TP shot. Totally killed all momentum we were building. Also doesn’t seem like team has as much fire today.

Y’all mad I’m right or just mad he is leaving?

when you catch-and-shoot curling right off a screen you plant and elevate largely off your left foot and the right comes out in front of it to square the hips. that is textbook exactly what TP did there. he didn't seek any contact. 

read back through any of these threads and I just plain don't bitch about officiating...but I am irate at that call right now. 

[Matt from A700]

We can still win this. We didn't shoot badly and I think we only had one turnover? But we HAVE to make sure they only get one shot per possession.

[meanrob]

Lot of issues with that half but Scott and Jones with zero combined isn’t helping. 
 

Even if they cool down we have to get more scoring from others.

zero shots for either. to be fair, TP doesn't usually take 8 first half shots.

since when is a loose ball foul away from the ball on a made shot a side-out-of-bounds possession?

We all wondered the same thing.

[Jonnyeagle]

Man this is such a disappointment.  We had such an opportunity and we let it slip through our fingers like sand in an hourglass.

we probably need fewer transfers, huh? more men of loyalty and integrity.
