Mean Green Vs. Troy (1/3/08)

[chrisfisher]

This will be a very interesting game tonight. Don't let Troy's record fool you. I watched the Troy/WKU game a few nights ago... it was a real battle and could have gone either way. Troy frequently applied a full court press and took (and made) a ton of 3's. We've had mixed results handling the full court press and guarding 3's, especially on the road. I will be watching tonight to see if we have corrected, or at least improved, in these areas. If not, we are in for a long night. We really need a road win to boost confidence...... I still predict this will be our first conference win this season... probably a high scoring affair... how about UNT 90, TSU 82.

sorry for being "that guy" but we did beat nmsu on the road earlier this year. It will be huge to get our first conference victory, though.

Women are playing right now... down 50-44 with about 13 min in the 2nd half left.

[chrisfisher]

Sorry 11 minutes left... not 13..

I just got freaked out b/c i went over to the blog and it said the game was already on. Then i found out it was on, and that we were losing. then I found out it was the womens team and i took a big sigh of relief.

Does that make me a bad person?

[chrisfisher]

Women down 59-49 to Troy with 7 minutes left... looks like the men's game could start on time....

[CMJ]

Usually there's about a 20 minute break between games. Men's game won't start on time.

EDIT: Well, it will as long as there aren't a million fouls at the end.

Don't fall in love with the trey too much guys.

[UNTFan23]

We must out rebound Troy, cause they are gonna jack up a ton of shots. We're doing good right now.

[chrisfisher]

Mean Green up 13-9 with 15 minutes left in first half...

[chrisfisher]

This is going to be a fast, breakneck, fun game... we dropping 3's like crazy, but it is still a close game.... White is looking great....not sure of the score...

[chrisfisher]

27-17 Mean Green up 10!! We've dropped 7 or 8 3's in 7 minutes.....White, Willingham, and Thompson have all registered 3's...
