It’s a decent crowd so far with 4 minutes to top we could get to 2-3 thousand maybe….

2 to 3 thousand is awful coming of a national tournament championship and 31 win season. Just, awful. 

[DeepGreen]

Just tuned. Looks like a decent crowd.

Scott looks all-conference right now.

[NT80]

Crowd looks good.  Starting to pick up our defensive pressure.  

[NT80]

83% from 3-pt range, lol.

Somebody doesn’t know how awful parking is around the Pit…. We get the side street reserved but most have to park at old fours or further. Not ideal in the dark for many who would want to come out. The students should help fill it up and they look decent right now.

UNI 24 ------- NT 21

Offense has been on a union break for awhile.

A lot faster pace than we've played recently.

NT 38 -------  UNI 36

 

Halftime

 

Overall, I'd say a terrific first twenty minutes of the season.

A good test.  Outside shooting is great, defense is good overall, just need to work on interior shots and more movement inside.

[Censored by Laurie]

that last minute was infuriating...that has got to be a 2 for 1 situation...needed to get a shot up with 35ish seconds on the game clock. 

shooting isn't going to stay this hot...gotta find some other ways to score.

I will trade our white guy for any one of their white guys. 

DJ Draper...gosh...I mean, bless his heart.

[meangreanmick]

don’t love the easy points we are giving up from offensive sloppiness.   i feel like slower offense and we would be up by 8-10 points at half

[StealthEagle84]

This team has a different feel to it and I'm liking it so far. Coach Mac was one of the best I've ever seen in closing out and winning close games. We'll see if Hodge can do the same.

Student section looks amazing. Five sections full.

Largest I've seen it in many many seasons, even pre-cv19.

[GrandGreen]

Shooting lights out, or NT would be behind double digits.

No conclusions after one half, but pace is much faster and defense not close to as good.

NI shooting mostly under the basket, and NT shooting threes; not usually a winning combo.

Hopefully we can clamp down on D soon.

Mean Green with a nice stretch with Edwards leading the way. Crowd really helping too.

[Censored by Laurie]

Best defensive stretch of the game…rotations looked super sharp. 
 

excited about Edwards…looks like a true go-get-it scorer.

[Tommy Gadberry]

Edwards is the real deal!

[UNTFan23]

4400 announced attendance on the radio.

[NT80]

Starting to wear them down a little.  Much better complimentary play, offense/defense.  Keep the crowd into it and we can start to extend the separation.  I wish Allen could have finished that power dunk!

[Glory to the Green]

This team is looking strong so far!  Keep it going!!
