And that is what they did. North Texas wins 56-54 . NT has won with its defense all year. They held Wisky to 0 points in the last 9 minutes of the game. McCasland the coach rumored to be the next Texas Tech coach has his kids disciplined on D. Wiskey had no point gd. They had Hepburn who is considered there pt gd but really is a 2 gd { shooting gd} He had 16 points at half with his outside shooting Then Grant makes a halftime adjustment and puts his best gd defender Huntsberry on him . Hepburn scored 0 points in the 2nd half Huntsberry transferred from D-2 Univ of Mary in the Dakota's to North Texas, The 6'3 athletic and quick gd was all over Hepburn and just shut him down totally. The other great move was NT was missing its post player Ousmane who for personal reason didn't play the last 2 games. Missing your starting center at 6'10 was a huge loss But wait a minute. In comes off the bench the MVP of the game a transfer from Dayton where he avg 2 pts a game at Dayton and at North Texas. But the game before vs Oklahoma St he played like a stud scoring and rebounding a double-double . Moulaye Sissoko at 6'9 and 250 pounds . last night
outplayed Wiskys center and dominated the bds. With 5 seconds left and Wiskey with the ball there was a loose ball Sissoko dived for a loose ball and as he grabbed it the buzzer went off. A great way to end the game when your backup center is lying on the floor fighting for a loose ball .
NT plays another Conf USA team in UAB who they split with during the reg season for the NIT championships.. and lets not forget another conf USA conf team FAU in the final 4. Watched the game today and NT was down by 14 pts at the half Grant made a few adjustments and North Texas comes storming back for a 2 pt win Perry was amazing at the point. NT;s Defense was outstanding All the NT players had a role and executed them. The UAB game will be much tougher this week . I'm on Cloud 9 which they sang last night in the play " Aint to Proud" Think the line was " Im doing fine up here on Cloud 9 " Go Mean Green
