The sky is not falling... i think a loss is good for these guys. It will keep them humble. It is important to remember how young they are. As long as we get a bye in the first round of the tournament, a loss or two may even be helpful for this young group. In these final weeks they just need to work on perfoming better against big guys under the hoop. I think this falls upon our point guards to keep the tempo of the game up to play into our small lineups strengths. I have a good feeling about this season. It reminds me a lot of the year we went dancing.

Very young team.....and honestly probally the best thing that we lose a game now and big....

why

Well it may ground this team that began to think that they were unstoppable.

If we are going to take the belt or have a chance, we need to play smart ball, foul less but keep the physical play up, and create a solution for the inside game.

Now the question is how do we rebound and that will be answered on saturday!

Nunzio,

Did you see the game on ESPN online??

UNT simply has our number...the perfect combination of size and speed to expose our post defense...but it certainly does not help to shoot 2-13 from long distance...

And, 37 free throw attempts!?

agree 100%...i get nervous when one of my teams goes on a big unbeaten streak too far out from the conf tourney, you want them peaking at the right time because it's just to hard to win 10 in a row, I'd rather drop one or two more then hit our stride.

Drawing the foul is the majority of their game plan.
