It was so uncomfortably warm in The Pit. I can't help but think that doesn't help a positive performance.  Can we ask Neal to turn on the A/C for the athletes and fans next game?

[CMJ]

I suppose we would have lost in gray tonight. 😉

The NIT hasn't announced yet.  Probably won't till tomorrow night after UVA and MSU play.

Would have loved for that record to have been against La Tech 😉

I thought it was Sunday at 7 but someone said Saturday at 5. Hoping for Sunday because I can make it. 

[CMJ]

Did they ever announce the attendance?

Texas State is a very religious university and we wanted to honor that.

This team clawed out that win from the literal abyss of defeat. There were some lucky breaks there too.

 

I don't know what Mac has to do to get these guys mentally right. It's clear they are still not all there from missing the NCAA Tourney, but whatever he does he better get to doing it. Our shooting has been poor, and for once our defense has been bad. I don't think we have left so many backdoor cuts open all year.

Just got back from the game. Wow. We managed to do it the hardest way possible, but man that was a gritty win. Not going to point out the shortcomings as they were plain to see - instead focusing on how awesome it was that we just clawed and fought until we found a way to win!

Thought the Pit was awesome in the last 5 min or so of regulation and OT! Our fans woke up from the slumber and really helped add much needed energy into the building. I absolutely LOVE that place when it gets like that!

Live to fight another day! See y’all at the Pit this weekend.

I’m not sure if Perry needs more confidence or less confidence but which ever it is I hope it gets there and works out. He was key to our teams success during our conference run but tonight it felt like he was forcing it (still had a few clutch free throws). We need his chin up and his game on point. Hopefully he isn’t injured.

It’s pitiful watching us on the fast break. We cannot even do it because our offense has been so slow all season. We cannot even convert on a 3-1 break….

I wonder about the energy it takes to play defensively like that and then pivot to focus offensively - it seems it’s a give -and-take…

He needed more confidence tonight. Clearly got in his own head last Friday and was still in it today. He needs to remember everybody goes through slumps in life. Not just basketball, but just in general adult life. Shooters shoot. You won't always hit your target but you have to stay aggressive in everything you do. Once he made that first 3, it was on. I think he'll be back to normal next game.

Hopefully the injury had nothing to do with it. Outside of something physical I feel like it's mental. He just wants to contribute so bad that with each miss he is digging himself deeper and deeper in a hole. He just needs to stay loose, if I was on the staff I'd tell him to shoot with no pressure, if he misses no big deal, he'll get another or someone else will make a play. It's a team sport, lean on your teammates.

Dave said it on the postgame but I didn’t catch the actual number. 

[Mean Green Matt]

The crowd, while it could have been bigger, was fantastic tonight. Engaged in the game. Can’t wait for this weekend.
