I hope we can pull out a win, but we need to make a basket. Over 9 minutes without a FG? That doesn't win games.

I think this is just an off night for the team. They have been playing lights out lately.

They didn’t look particularly good on Saturday either, despite the 34 point win. 

[BigWillie]

Come alive Gibson!!!!!

[Harry]

We really need someone to step up and take the team on his back... who will it be?

NT 74  --------- Maine 63

 

Final

[Marty]

yes, put it away in overtime by 11 points. 

 

[Mean Green Matt]

Do we still get credit for the 10+ point win in the new RPI even though it went to Overtime?

Smart when he comes back?

[BigWillie]

Way too close for my liking. Glad to get the W though. 

Kinda scares me for OU.

[CMJ]

Can I point out I predicted it might be a tougher game than the records indicated?

I don’t see why we wouldn’t.

No. It was stipulated that all OT games are automatically assigned one point difference.

Nope.  Counts as a 1 point win 🙄

I'll take it!

Well, better than a not win.

Me also. But, we've got to deal with Sore Peters on Saturday FIRST.

It is. Why would you get more credit for being tied after 40 minutes than a team that won by 2 after 40 minutes? They didn’t get the extra 5 minutes to build a bigger lead, so it levels the wins.

I was looking for this but couldn’t find it. Somebody pin it to the top.

I know, but I would hope we can beat them. They have been beat by some lower end schools, but so has Maine and we had a chance to lose this game!

Sure.  Go ahead.

[GrandGreen]

First game I thought the team really needed Smart.  Maine played much better than their record.  Maybe this is a needed wake up call for the rest of the schedule.

I can't prove it, but watching tonight left me with the impression that Grant coached this game differently, especially in the second half. I felt like he wanted this game to tighten up. Lots of different player combinations and far less intensity than he normally shows. Seems like he let the players run their own sets more often than normal. Could this be a teaching moment?....or maybe I'm crazy.

Good crowd?
