NC A&T(0-2) at North Texas (0-3)
Rated similar to us, the standout difference is rebounding, where North Texas rates 75 and we only rate 61. Getting these big men I'm recruiting is going to be critical.
11:00 1st - Tied up at 12 as the reserves come in on both sides.
6:00 1st - an 11-2 run by North Texas has us trailing 23-14 when I call a time out and get my starters back in.
After cutting the lead to 6 (28-22), North Texas goes on another big run and takes an 11 point lead into the locker room, 37-26.
Rush has scored 11 points and is the only one able to consistantly make anything today. Coleman has 5, Willis 4.
coleman and Willis both also have 2 fouls, hurting our already weak inside game. North Texas pulled down 9(!!!) offensive boards in the first half to our 0.
And there really isn't much to report for the second half. We never fall behind by more than 14 and never get closer than 7.
Offensive Rebounds:
North Texas 15
NC A&T 1
North Texas 85
NC A&T 75
A flurry of points in the final 3 minutes allows everyone bigger numbers, but doesn't change anything.
Rush scores 26, going 9-14 from the field, 5-8 from 3. He had a stellar game.
Coleman was big inside, with 15 points and 11 boards.
Willis is struggling, I need to figure out how to best use him. He scored 8 points today, but was only 2-8 from the field.
