Still alive. Just need more stops, not turnovers, and get some more shots to go. We can get good looks.

 

[MNsooner]

We can't get any calls at the basket.

 

[JBaker]

Spangler gets karate chopped with no call, and then picks up his third because of a massive moving screen getting Staten to the rim.

 

[opsooner]

We need to keep moving the ball instead of waiting for the defense and shooting contested shots.

 

[steverocks35]

Spangler fouled at one end no call, makes less contact at other end, gets called.

 

[MNsooner]

Our defense hasn't been that bad. They are shooting well below their average this game. The problem is clearly rebounding and offense.

 

[pnkranger]

Noreen has fouled every sooner except Alex brown in the last two minutes with no whistles.

 

[opsooner]

Missing too may opportunities. Giving second chances and choosing to step in and take more contested shots. WV getting away with fouls but that is life on the road.

 

[Laxtothemax12]

Do we play any defense?

We just did for 35 seconds, good job

 

[JBaker]

Finally Noreen gets called for one of his obvious fouls.

 

[MNsooner]

We've got to keep chipping away at this one. See if we can give ourselves a chance at the end.

 

[opsooner]

Refs get to the arena late, also?

 

[Laxtothemax12]

Number 11 coming in from behind absolutely pushed Cam in the back to get that rebound.

 

[stormspencer]

And yet another "over the back" call and they simply refuse to blow the whistle....that is part of our rebounding issues tonight. Even when we do block out, they climb our backs.

Thought there might have been a double, travel, and foul on that series.

 

[Laxtothemax12]

here we go!

 

[opsooner]

Love the heart of this team.

Keep fighting fellas....good things tend to happen when you don't quit. Keep the stops coming on defense.
