Rice scored the first 5, NTex the next 5 ...

JP: "Evans three is in the air ... and arcs down through the nylon."

Owls up 12-7 with 13:30 left in first half.

22 - 13 Rice up with 9:25 to go in 1st.

Evans shooting well early is a good sign

Rice players need new shoe contracts. Way too much slipping and sliding out there.

22-15, Rice ... with 7:27 left in 1H.

8 owl turnovers so far; luckily 8 for NT too

34 - 31 Rice with 3:19 left in 1st.

10-0 N Tex run ties it at 34 with a little over a minute left in 1H. Grrr.

Now a technical foul against Rhodes! Maybe an eyewitness can elaborate.

Now a 15-1 run .... 39-35, Green leads.

37-39 at the half.

And NoTx takes the lead at the half 39 - 37.

Team can't maintain intensity for an entire half.

Lots of missed FT's, including two 1-1s.

Coach said "Call it the same way down here" (i.e. Call It against UNT) after foul calls on two consecutive possessions to the same ref.

Jeeze, North Texas kind of sucks (#282 KenPom last time I checked) and we're playing at home. Need to run away with this in the 2nd half.

Oh the profanity!

48 - 47 NoTx at 15:52 with a Rice FT coming after the TO.

Tied at 48

Same ref calls a bogus technical on NTU's coach.

And a tech on #3 for laughing at the call.

Rice up 61 - 51 at the 12:59 mark.

NoTx free throw shooter complains about The Mob's sparkly shooting distracter so RUPD confiscates.

Going cold again, like last half.

77 - 58 Rice up with 8:29 left.
