Booker's shot is so pretty. That kid is going to be really good some day. Crazy that we were able to get in on him so late in the process.

 

[opsooner]

Booker was too busy celebrating his 3 to get back on Defense.

I noticed that as well. He was lucky to get that block on the other end.

 

[Swans]

When the offense isn't there, the defense has to keep you in the game......

 

[opsooner]

Second half offense has been better. D has still been good except for a few cases where we let Harris go all the way to the rim.

Not a great game but we just need to hang on and win. I like how some guys have stepped up (Woodard, Neal, Booker in particular) when we needed them.

"When we come back we'll find our Kay Jewelers 'moment of brilliance"...not too many of those tonight boys for either team. Also IDK if its' GREAT defense or HORRIBLE offense from the aggies, probably a combo of both

 

[slappy in OP]

Ultimately, a win is all it is about.

This has been a maddening game, but we have had some people step up when needed. Take the W and put this one behind us.

 

[MNsooner]

Cutting a guy's legs out from under him is not a basketball play. That's worse than the two flagrant fouls Cams had called on him this season.

I dedicate this game to Kelvin Sampson.

Awesome, hes a heck of a coach.

Awesome, hes a heck of a coach.

Agree. I think this team will learn a lot from this win. Would have been easy to get frustrated but they played good D and never stopped working.

 

[MNsooner]

It wasn't pretty but it was a quality win. Now it is just La Tech between us and a hugely successful non-conference season.

 

[NickZepp]

The score was closer than the game ended up being. 64-52 final.

 

[slappy in OP]

This certainly wasn't an aesthetically pleasing game, but we won by 12 and going away. I will take that. :OUbball-logo:

True. But I'd rather win ugly than lose pretty.

How many TO's did Woodard have-I know I counted 3 at the start of the game

0 in the 2nd half I think. 3 total.

 

[jerry]

0 in the 2nd half I think. 3 total.

Jordan had 4 turnovers.

He settled down after that and ended the game with only four.

The assists weren't there because none of his teammates could hit the broad side of a barn. :ez-laugh:
