The Super Pit was crawling with a lot of elementary school children for the last home game against Sun Belt Conference Rival the University of Louisiana-Lafayette. The students were there as part of the Senior Week festivities. Three out going seniors were recognized, Tyler Hall, Alonzo Edwards and Kedrick Hogans, all three got the start.

It looked like North Texas was going to send their fans home happy as they took a seven point lead in the first half but crumbled under the pressure of the Ragin' Cajuns defense and let the lead slip away resulting in a 53-57 loss.

In the past several seasons, North Texas could overcome poor shooting, turnovers and counted on wins from the charity stripe in close games. With only 11 of 24 free throws falling, North Texas did not come close to helping themselves to a win from the line.

Add in 19 shots falling of 65 attempts North Texas blew opportunities to win or put this game out of reach.

North Texas seemed to be on the fast track to a win when Hall fed Mitchell for a slam dunk for the first score of the game for both teams. ULL answered, Williams added two more points before Edwards got his first career three point basket giving North Texas a 7-2 lead.

The two teams battled back and forth before Roger Franklin hit a jumper to give North Texas a 7 point lead at 11-4. However, the team did not seem to have any spark and had to work at getting the ball to fall through the hoop. The fans were not in the game because of it.

ULL closed to within one before North Texas' Hall hit a three then followed with another three to give North Texas a 17-10 lead. ULL battled back to tie the game at 21 all at the 6:16 mark in the first half. After hitting two free throws, ULL had a two point lead but Williams tied the game on a two point jumper.

ULL took a one point lead by hitting one free throws and Edwards responded by hitting just one of his two free throws to tie the game at 24-24. ULL took the lead and built upon it and led at half 32-25.

Out of the break ULL went up by nine before Holmen cut the lead to six by hitting a three point shot. ULL was able to move ahead by seven when Williams, inside the paint, put the ball in for two then a few minutes later he cut the lead to three with another shot from inside the paint. ULL managed to push their lead out to six.

Edwards on a dunk, Williams on a fastbreak layup and Holmen on a layup tied the game, 42-42 bringing the 4000 or so fans to their feet. ULL took a two point lead but Niko Stojiljkovic tied the game with 8:08 left in the contest. From here it was ULL bullying North Texas.

They built their lead back to six points 50-44 with 4:42 left. North Texas cut the lead to two 51-53 with1:13 left, then to one 53-54 with 13 seconds left but four free throws by ULL sent North Texas fans to the showers outside wondering what is happening to their team.
