Ladies finishing out nonconference at Montana State

[Matt from A700]

Another slow start that resulted in a 20-12 1Q Mean Green deficit but they just tied it at 30 apiece.

Game is on ESPN+. You can switch it back and forth between Wichita State at Kansas State.

Now back down 55-42 with 8:16 left. Not looking good.

Just getting outplayed in every aspect of the game.

Mean Green had cut it to a four-point game with 2:55 left, but ugly finish. Montana State responds with a three-point play. Then increases the lead to 10 with a minute and a half to go as Kernal draws an offensive foul, and a tech to foul out of the game.

[Marty]

This was ugly, lose to a 4-6 Montana State team.

[GrandGreen]

This loss is on who ever scheduled this game.   NT would have beat this team easily closer to sea level. 

Montana St is 1-4 away

Montana State is better than their record indicates. Still, I thought we would be able to beat them.  

Just keep that "next play"/"next game" attitude.  All is well.

Very disappointing that the coach could not get a one loss team up for a subpar opponent.

A very disappointing loss to a not so good team! 🤮

[Venson]

I wanted the win, but maybe they needed this to remind them that you can't take any team for granted. Maybe this will get them refocused. 

[UNTLifer]

That game was hard to watch.

[drex]

Montana State rained three pointers and we never got in their face.

Take a deep breath, now exhale.

Apparently, some of you didn't bother to watch the game before commenting on it.

The NT players were gassed from the start and played at a substantial disadvantage in that altitude.

Is this a division 1 program or not? That’s a weak excuse.

Yes, I am in to giving excuses.

I feel like the ladies have played Montana State a few times over the years. Maybe I'm wrong.

I will respectfully disagree.  We ran the entire game, just way out of sorts.

Altitude of Bozeman = 4,820

The highest altitude town in TX is Fort Davis at 5,050 feet.  I have spent time there and never really had any issues, so D1 athletes should be fine.  Heck, Amarillo is at 3,662 and nobody has an issue.  We are conditioned enough and deep enough to handle the altitude of Bozeman.

just a poor performance, maybe ladies looked past Montana St, hopefully Coach Burton uses the game as a learning experience to prep for AAC schedule.

Difference of opinion, sure they ran; but to me the NT players looked obviously labored compared to playing in lower altitude locals.  

Back in the Big West days NT could never beat Denver in Colorado, yet had much better success in Texas.

Agree.  The only altitude issue we had was the altitude of Montana St's 3-point shots we poorly defended! 

Montana St. hit (9) nine 3-pointers.
