3_n_out

Even the foul on Davis in the post. Walker looked like his hands were up. Refs calling fouls on any contact similar to the last few minutes against SMU

CJ with the hot hand. Hopefully, we can squeeze more from those floaters. They’re working beautifully today. Now…about some help

Aaron Scott is apparently allergic to contact

I’d prefer JE coming off screens or catch & shoot situations instead of taking the ball up. But, we’re up by two, so I’ll take it

+1

Geez…some of y’all need to chill. What a great win! This team has the mental fortitude to compete with anyone in this conference. Despite the petty calls the refs were calling against us, the kids just kept playing and staying focused. That’s how you battle!!! Sign of a good team.

Phelps has had some calls from the refs tonight. Some were soft calls

Come on, ref! Definitely initiated contact and Walker with his hands up.

Ruben out, Aaron with 4 fouls, 3-10 FT shooting…and still in this game. These kids need to pour it all out tonight. Feels like whomever gets the final possession may win type of game.

Love the 1-2 game between Aaron and Allen tonight. They’re working so well

Time for Buggs to step up

Edwards cannot bring the ball up. He can’t handle the ball pressure

Yes! My thoughts exactly. Gotta use that big body. Not hitting them right now, but it looks like it’s in his arsenal.

He was playing so well. Been a while since we’ve had a steady hand running the point. Hopefully, nothing serious

Aaron needs to go up stronger than that.

Geez! No offensive foul call on SMU for the clear out, but refs easily call a foul for SMU…easily!

I love that we seem to be more aggressive offensively driving the ball.

Edwards loses the ball too much for a guard. Sometimes it feels like he’s trying too hard

Both teams are having to earn their buckets. Both sides are playing hard. Super glad Ruben and Buggs are back for this one. Atmosphere seems electric. If home games could be like this every game

Man, Sissoko! Sometimes he just makes me want to face-palm.

From all accounts, is that really what led their QB to transfer out? If it is, what a terrible outcome.

Or just being a jump shooting team in general. Maybe mix in some mid-range jumpers now and then at least.

I did sound harsh, but was not meaning to be. I do think they’re trying to recruit defenders. As you can see, we were able to flip an Arizona commit and gain some defensive transfers from P5 programs for example. However, since being statistically the worst defense in D1 football, kids may be skeptical. As a football program, we’re not “established” just yet IMO. But, I believe SL has slowly started that process, and EM & staff will help it progress even further. The attention to recruits by having a recruiting staff will pay dividends in the future. This may not help us this season, but hopefully we will see the progress.

Truly loving their success. You can see they play hard for 40mins for coach Burton. Hoping many recruits see what we’re building here and take part in it. Coach B is gonna keep us competitive and successful for a while.

Hopefully, the two kids we’ve recruited for next season is a start. But, that’s still a season away. Anyways, the season is gonna be a dog fight. Tired or not, they’re gonna have to bring it every game. But, this is what’s expected when you move up a level in conference.
