This was an excellent win. I am impressed with North Texas. Shame this league is so pigeonholed as a one bid league because UAB, UNT, LA Tech and WKU are all capable of winning games in the tournament.

A great basketball game, and looks like a very nice Blazer win.

I would love for this to turn out to be our closest conference game of the season.

On another note, USM and the very bad UTSA team we played the other night are in a 1 point game in the final minute. And our next opponent, Rice, beat MTSU tonight.

UAB's first win on the year when scoring under 70 points

Good win

Huge victory!!!

Fun game to watch. Glad we pulled out the W

Really good win. We looked like a solid @$$ team top to bottom. Still got some kinks to work out, but That might have been our most complete game of the year so far.

Did Jamal Johnson play?

Great game and to watch and great win. The top of this league is quality. In fact, I'd put our top 4 of UAB, UNT, La Tech, and WKU against any top 4 of any mid major conference in the country, including the AAC. It's a shame the bottom of our conference is so bad.

Yes. Him and Brown had a few minutes each.

We ended up blasting them on the glass, but sure didn’t seem like it there for a stretch.

I’m assuming we’ve decided that we trust forcing it inside when it isn’t there, to get us more buckets than Jamal and Justin taking 3s.

thats a huge win

A good tough win on the road against a quality team.

Some thing that flew under the radar tonight, was our shot selection. We played under control on offense pretty much the entire game. We took mostly high quality shots, and that is reflected in our shooting percentages. And other games this year against evenly matched teams, I thought that we settled for very poor shots and played out of control at times.

Good win. At Large bid not dead unless we get loss #4 before the conference tournament

Very good point.

The top 3 are quality teams, but I am not convinced that WKU is that good this season.

WKU is inconsistent. When they are playing well, they can beat anybody. But they don’t play at that level all the time. They have had some stinkers.

That felt like watching a conference tourney game. Just well played, intense basketball from both teams.
