Will be a challenge. North Texas went toe-to-toe with a ranked VCU team on the road.

Looks like we'll have to listen in to the UNT radio or pay $6.95 for to watch their streaming service. No WEMU for this game.

They haven’t played since Tuesday, and this will be our 3rd game of the week, with a quick turnaround from yesterday to fly to Texas. Thankfully, we have a decent break to get our feet under us in Jamaica.

They appear to be pretty good defensively. Held VCU to 59 and Arkansas to 66. But they also struggled mightily from the floor in both of those games. Hopefully our zone can frustrate and them and force some bad shots.

They'll be well rested, but thankfully we've some depth!!!!!! It's still not a easy turnaround though! Can Murphy start a season 4-0?

Some of us consider this to be the first game of the season. Murphy is still 0-0 in my book.

I completely agree!!!!!!! Beating 3 DII, or NAIA schools proves nothing!!!!!!!! Tough game on Saturday!

Damn. Didnt realize there was no TV. This should be the only one though as I read that UMBC and NC A&T games are on CBSSN

Not sure about UC-Irvine also from the OOC schedule.

Depends what one considers the purpose of having these 3 non-D-I games to start the season:

To see what the the players can do. It isn't to see if we beat school X by 25, 30, 35 or more points.

I think the purpose is to save money when scheduling home games.

The EMU website has wemu listed for this game...

UNT is favored by 8 points currently

Chad Bush just said on the radio "Binelli is out at least another week. They hope to have him back for Jamaica."

Sounds like we'll have him on the court sooner than we thought

One time charge of $6.95 for those who want to watch.

fairly ugly half court game.

Hey we are winning at some point at least.

Up 7 at the half, despite poor shooting and 8 turnovers. Not watching, but it sounds like we are defending well.

Montero with 9 and Groce with 8.

Ty Groce is 3-ball happy, but he has made a couple, so not too bad. He is handling the ball a bit much for my liking.

Did you get the stream? How does the defense look? Are we doing well or is North Texas just that bad?

Toure has ZERO points with 16 minutes left in the game! He has to be dominant being a 7 footer!!!!! Montero needs to score 20 for us to win! So does Groce, no one else is scoring right now! James I don't think has taken a shot yet!
