(Charleston Classic) NORTH TEXAS, Thur., Nov. 16, 1:30p, ESPNU

Pitino deserves all the benefit of the doubt. I just hope this whole Drissa/Conway combo is not on the court come December.

When Luis is back, I don’t want to see either on the floor at all

I still feel in time we will see a much better team I’m giving Dingle more then two games after missing time with injury but he definitely needs to get more shots going forward.

 

[NCJohnnie]

I'm wondering if Luis might be ready to play on Sunday?

 

[MainMan]

The two missed FT sum things up. This was DISGUSTING basketball. COMPLETELY DISGUSTING would be a loss.

God I love game threads!

 

[guinness77]

the good news is the Shriners can build two new hospitals with all of todays bricks (both teams)

LOL Well done.

 

[Shannon]

He is tough to watch

Dingle, doesn't even look to score, thought he could create his shot.

I see a lot of complaints about our offense, but I give North Texas a lot of credit. They are clearly a skilled defensive team, and they totally disrupted our flow today and forced us to play their tempo. I believe it was mentioned during the broadcast that last year they allowed the fewest PPG in the nation. I know it's a new team this year, but clearly that's a part of their game.

 

[guinness77]

Soriano totally unfocused today. You don't miss both ft with 2 seconds.
Jenkins and Dingle not meshing in the backcourt. May need more Wilcher by January.
Taylor not the guy at the 3 position. RJ Luis better be better or else.
North Texas ball movement much better than SJ. We need an alpha male out there not named Jenkins or we will be watching IONA all year.

Soriano made the 2 that put us in the lead. Missing the 2 at the end wasn’t a big deal. Give the guy a little credit.

They are special. Nothing says mature, like grown men posting “hot takes.”

Great way to vent lol

I take it you guys thought that was good?

Jenkins needs an intervention or this will be a lost season. He’s averaging 5 turnovers a game. He doesn’t set anyone up. We’ve got to get this kid off the ball at least 40% of the time. His wild, selfish play makes everyone on the team force bad shots when they actually touch it.

We manufacture zero baskets.

Dingle is completely baffling. Get him shots, let him run pick and roll, or sit him for a better defender.

Two things with Dingle. I know he’s feeling his way right now but they need to run some plays for him and he needs to be more aggressive looking for his shot.

 

[Larry Wright]

Dingle, doesn't even look to score, thought he could create his shot.

Again no idea what goes on in practice
But seems Dingle being scrutinized because of his D and for some reason Jenkins can do whatever he wants
Dingle does not seem comfortable
Meanwhile Jenkins seems like house guest that comes over eats all your food and clogs the toilet

I was wrong about the Pitino hire.

Of course not. Never said that. Nice try. Pointing out the obvious, which was not seen by you, throwing one liners about this player is garbage and that player is dumb, during game, is not something I like to do.

I never mentioned a single player.

It’s not him it’s us.
Hardest working basketball player ever comes here and become lazy. Winning coach who went to tournament with like 5 teams comes here and becomes buffoon.
Greatest college coach comes here……

I don't need heimlick..my lunch came up ten minutes ago all by itself. If it wasn't for this board and you posters, I'd have a tag on my toe already. Thank you.

NT may hustle a lot on D, but their offense was poor. It is really a one man team. Our offensive mistakes were not so much forced by their great defense as much as our poor judgement/poise. I didnt think our team defense was especially good, as much as Soriano personally making huge blocks and rebounds. Nevertheless, we won. I welcome the opportunity for more agita in the days ahead.
