Poor shooting leads to UAB's road loss at North Texas

[Harry]

UAB shot just 30 percent and allowed North Texas to shoot nearly 50 percent in a 76-65 loss at North Texas on Thursday.

The Blazers shot 22-of-72. North Texas was 29-of-59, including 8-of-16 from 3-point range. UAB hit 6-of-23 from long range and was a disappointing 15-of-28 from the free throw line.

"The shooting stats in the second half were abysmal to say the least," UAB head coach Jerod Haase said on the UAB postgame radio show. "We couldn't throw it in the ocean and we couldn't get stops. That's a bad combination."

Was it our defense or did they self-destruct?

Was it our defense or did they self-destruct?

I asked myself the same question. About this one and the A&M game. Hopefully the former. 22-72 is pitiful though, even if we did have a lot to do with it.

We should do the same to MUTS though. Especially if Coleman and Gaines can contain Shawn Jones. That guy is a monster. Kind of a poor man's Tony Mitchell, w/o the ball handling skills and 3-point shooting ability.
