Top-5 NCAA in pts/g allowed and 3s allowed (4.2/g). Controlled tempo offense (21 sec/possession, #356/358 NCAA). Disruptive MTM defense with quick weakside help. Thomas bell pre-season all-CUSA. Aaron Scott 2X CUSA FOW.

This will be the first team that we've played all year with a Top 70 NET and a legitimate shot at the NCAA's. It could get ugly fast.

A win tomorrow will cure many sins. NTX is more talented. Coaching will be the difference for us to bring home the dub. But, I don’t believe. Time for Jones to go. We’re going to drop this game by 10+.

Note that game time is 6:00, not 3:00 as i originally posted.

Great start. Commentators talking about Trice while camera stays in Kalu

This is ugly already. We cannot shoot at all.

Those are our first points in over 10 minutes of basketball. Let that sink in.

Nearly every team that ODU plays shoots 3-pointers a lot better than they do, and it doesn't matter what season it is, or who ODU's players are. Jeff and his assistants are the common denominator.

Will they ever learn to not make careless passes?

We aren't very good are we?

Down 28-10 already. ODU looks like a mediocre high school team compared to North Texas.

EDIT: And frankly, North Texas isn't that great.

Suffocating defense. They are the better team, this is going to take a Herculean effort.

how much more of this crap can we the fans take? I would rather not have a team at all then to watch this!

Think we saw this team in Myrtle Beach.

Jeff deserves to finish out the season, and that's it.

Remember how JJ was talking about how tough our schedule was?

This is the first real team we've played, and it shows how far we have fallen.

Still fouling 3 pointers.

BTW: another team that is clearly better than we are is down 27-4 in the first half.

This is really hard to watch.

Remember how he said back before the season started that he really liked this team?
