Guys there is one thing for sure about this team: when they do win, it will NEVER be pretty. A win is a win.

 

[hoopsaustin]

pledger, cade, newell need to get some dang pointers from that clemens kid.. geez..

 

[pillmanj]

what in the hell kind of jacket is Beau Gerber wearing??

 

[NickZepp]

We've already learned after the preaseason game and this game that this team won't quit. Which is already better than last years team.

 

[MNsooner]

Fitz seems to be taking over as the best player on our team. He has been good on D, rebounding and leading our team in scoring. Even though we have struggled early, I am really glad he has started the season well. I hope he keeps impressing as the level of competition increases.

You could always respect hard work.

Just another 8 point win

 

[sybarite]

This could be a valuable win, a struggle.

Nick nailed it...and maybe the other team wasn't half bad? Last year this team would quit, this year we keep fighting.

I can't remember seeing anyone on this team dunk...maybe if some of them took the ball to the rim instead of attempting the bank shot the team's shooting would be better...

He looks like a star. And I really like Newell too. I think he can be a really good PG. Cameron Clark needs to play better but I think he can be really good eventually. And Nick Thompson is a solid role player. Sadly enough he may be the best passer on our team. But the core of Newell, Fitz, and Clark can be real solid over the next few years.

Thank goodness. I have to work all night long tonight. I would have stewed about it all night long. Our finally 2 point FG% was 32% and 17% from three. It is amazing we pulled it out. I don't know how we did it other than just refusing to quit. That at least is an improvement from last year.

IT's A WIN

 

[Edmond_Sooner]

I'll take it...they just need to get that taste of winning, every little positive they can get is going to be worth a ton in their growth as a team...

My advice, just focus on that and then imagine when Osby and Goff get here next year.

I think we tried to fall on the sword of defeat and missed. I am glad we found a way to pull this one out. Not an impressive win, but I am glad we fought our way through this one.

I agree. Glad we won. Have a feeling there will be great rejoicing for wins this year. This team is going to have to grow this year. The D looks pretty decent, need to find our O!
