5.5 underdogs on the road. Can we put together a winning streak in Texas?

Very important game. Lots of teams bunched around the 4-5-6 loss area.

Would keep us 1 game back in the loss column of those currently in 5th place in 1st pod.

Rice and league leading North Texas next week followed by a couple of games against MTSU.

It would be great to go 4 - 1 over the next 5 games.

A bad Rice team beat North Texas today

CUSA is a crapshoot. Any team can beat any team (even though LaTech seems to be the class of the conference).

FIU 81, WKU 76
Rice 84, North Texas 75
USM 74, Charlotte 68
FAU 91, Marshall 73
MTSU 83, UTSA 80

LaTech 55, ODU 51 at under 12 timeout

LaTech 76, ODU 73 Final

ODU is gonna be tough going forward

For real. CUSA and I’d say UAB especially has been so bipolar in games in conference play. Hopefully we hit the high soon and finish strong

Halftime, tied at 27
Gueye is next to useless

Yep. We can't have minutes where he & Pearson are in the game together & get away with it.

Gueye's primary problem is his lack of strength. He gets bodied out of position very easily. So, he can't set his feet to do anything down low. He is also a slow jumper. As a freshman one could see potential but with the caveat that he put on some weight. He seems to have not committed to that and so...

15:37 left, Blazers lead 35-30 & get the ball after the timeout

Tavin with 3 fouls and sitting. Need to try and make it the next 6 to 8 minutes still with him out.

Saying are you out of your mind gets you a technical.

UAB up 9 14:40 left.

TSG with some great defense and enough good plays on offense.

Up 11.

TSG misses a FT, Nicholson gets the rebound and gets fouled.
Coach gets t’d up.
JB hits 2 FTs
KN hits 1
UAB gets a quick steal and TSG scores on the break
Another stop and TSG scores on the drive
That’s a 14-0 run

Up 43-30

How was the bump on the shot not a foul on them, but the very next possession a much smaller bump on a near identical shot was a foul on us.

Pearson doesn't need to shoot.
