UNT has been in the lead almost the entire game but the Pokes have stayed close.

UNT 43
OSU 41
7:12

Fun game with both teams playing good defense. Fran is on the call in Stillwater.

I'm surprised: the camera angles seem better than I recall for the Pokes' arena.

Better camera angle but too often fans block our view of the hours. I really hate when that happens. You'd think they could find a way to design arenas & stadiums so that the TV audience has an unobstructed view of the action and with a didn't angle. Baylor fixed that at Foster. Camera angles are better at Iba but I really don't want to see the back of someone's head or their hands, especially down the stretch when the game is on the line and crucial things are happening.

UNT managed to get the W in the end, despite OSU efforts to steal a win with full court press, trapping, etc. The Pokes came close but the Mean Green survived and moves on to Indianapolis.

Here’s a truly insane story: North Texas can’t play an NIT quarterfinal game at home because the school scheduled a faculty luncheon.

Don’t see that in big-time athletics. https://t.co/QHFVH4elua

That harks back to the first time the Mavericks made the NBA playoffs in 1984: they had to play their home games at Moody Coliseum because Reunion Arena had booked the Ringling Bros Circus.

I remember that. Moody madness against the Seattle supersonics with Jack Sikma.

Circus....or WCT Finals?
