0:00 left on the clock, Okie State's coach shot his player's last toe off! GMG!

2:18 left, 55-48, UNT winning. Some players either fouled-out or benched otherwise. Okie State has, pun-intended, shot themselves in the foot too many times. UNT recovers from a shaky stretch after half-time to regain their footing...en route to the semi-finals!

6:10 left, CHANCE FOR A FOUR-POINT PLAY, BAYBAY!

Don't let Okie State hold a lead for a second!

5:17 left, 49-44. UNT responds and OKST is panicking.

Another steal after a bucket after a foul!

52 points from the THREE by Massie(UNT)! Commentator says it's "Gretzky-like".

12:10 to go in the game, UNT still leading, 34-30. Sucks that they couldn't play at the Pit, as they deserved, being the higher seed, but cutting down a net and bringing it back is more than an appropriate price! =)

Update: 11:38 in, former Okie State Cowboy in Walker(UNT) getting a great cut and DUNK....WITH the foul! THAT'S what this viewer wants to see!

Nice to see a decent crowd, despite not looking like a total sell-out (unless that was just a bad angle at a bad time after half-time), with Mean Green faithful clearly showing-out.

Did like the PATIENCE of the one player who got knocked down, earlier, to NOT, immediately, feel the need to toss the ball to a fellow UNT player when the latter was still covered, and instead, chose to wait and toss to another UNT player who got open. Brought back memories of seeing ToddGurley, the lightsaber-wielding UGA stand-out, take a sit-down before the goal-line whilst still playing for the Rams against Green Bay in the NFL! Build upon that "game-IQ"/"fight-IQ" and cover the fundamentals, don't let turnovers rattle and cause panic-shots that miss!

34-30, keep at it. GMG!

Finally found a (working) stream after being late to the show (tried being early, but there were no streams and then got busy elsewhere).

UNT was (and still is) doing well, and leading in the 20s over OKST....around the 17:00 mark in the second half, there was a bad turnover after getting lucky on several occasions against Okie State when it came to ball-control and getting knocked down a couple of times. It was bound to happen, but now the momentum of the game is in OKST's favor and UNT is panicking, causing them to miss shots. They need to CALM DOWN and go for easier lay-ups after the turnover to get it out of their minds, NOT give the ball back several times afterwards, which is like a cascade failure after a computer is infected with a virus. Other than that, they're still the better team and just need to adjust on-the-fly, get some buckets, don't overthink things, and make it to garbage time and the next round.
