Tonight is the Lions' first NCAA and D1 game of the season over in Huntsville.
A&M played Oakwood last Thursday in an exhibition game and won 95-79.
Of course, UNA beat Oakwood 108-51 in what should have been an exhibition game on Monday.

The game is on A&M’s YouTube channel. Lions up 24-18 with 3:48 to go in the first half.

Strong start after letting Bulldogs jump in front. Then we had the 4 minutes plus without scoring. Bulldogs got within one and woke us up in the first half. Great run to end the half and go up by 9. Figure it will be a dogfight in the 2nd half. If we can find a way to score some 2 point baskets consistently we should be fine. Defense has been strong.

I tried to go to the game last night, but the old credit card system at their ticket booth wouldn't read my card. I didn't have cash on me, so I would have to exit the long line for tickets to go to an ATM and get back in said long line to buy the ticket. I went home and watched it on YouTube.
I think that the ticket booth guy saw my UNA shirt and made up some bs excuse to not let me in.

Watched some, but not all of the game. That YouTube broadcast was pretty rough.
Like seeing us shoot over 50% from 3. Obviously the 2nd half was much better shooting overall. A&M probably isn't very good, but it's always nice to have a relatively good night shooting on the road.
Those black uniforms are probably the worst uniform a UNA team has worn, in any sport. Nevermind the fact we shouldn't be wearing black in the first place, but the whole black jersey trend was last popular about 10 years ago. SOMEONE in the administration should've stopped that from ever happening.
I like playing A&M. I hope we can keep the series going. Hopefully the nonsense that was brought up at the football game a few years ago is behind us now, regardless of who did what. Playing them should be a good thing for both schools.

Good win for the Lions! Hate the black uniforms. I was looking at those uniforms and couldn’t see any purple? Those are the worst looking uniforms I have seen any Lions team wear. Glad we won a sloppy game, 17 turnovers has to be cleaned up. Last year we lose that game, this year we scored in the 80’s. Pretty solid win on the road, gives this team some hope for the season. Forrest is playing much stronger than last year. Ortiz scores, but it is not all on his shoulders this year.

Lol I walked up, they let about 10 AM fans in without tickets and couldn't sell me a ticket. Said they was sold out...

I'm going to make shirts that are purple and will say "Bring Back Gold" and wear it to every sports event...
Anyone want one, message me...

I agree about the black unis and playing A&M in the future. Hopefully we'll play a game at their new gym in the future.

Not a lot of enthusiasm for playing NAIA teams, I see...
UNA beat Blue Mountain last night 100-60. Another good shooting night, over 50% in both FGs and 3s. Does it really prove anything? I don't know. At least it's better to blow out a team like this than to struggle with them. In 2018 when we played these guys, we won by "only" 13.
Thankfully we start a string of all D1 games now through late December. Looking forward to seeing if this offense has really improved or not.
