If we can win a game like this on the road without KD imagine what this team will be able to do with a healthy KD...

I would never wish that KD be benched for any reason, injury or otherwise. He is easily my favorite player; however, with KD out, I think this team grew enormously. Instead of relying on KD for scoring and last minute shots, they were forced to rely on each other. So many players stepped up... Sturns, Williams, Wooden, Watson, Bell, Young, and most of the bench. I can't wait for KD to return either! WOW! I doubt that the players who stepped up will step back. Combined with KD's scoring/defense, we'll be hard to beat. How many points will KD, Watson, and Sturns score together?!?! :)

Big win for the men's team. I was not expecting much after the NO game (considering they had just barely beaten Lala) and I was very pleasantly surprised by the outcome. My concern now, which I hope is unfounded, is that the team is starting to play to the level of their competition.

It is a great win against a team NT has never beaten. Great gutsy win and great job of pulling that one out after a disapointing loss in New Orleans.

Listened to the second half. Good play from what I heard. Never let WKU run off when they got a little lead. Just hung with them the whole time.

watson had his stroke going tonight. He hit his 5th 3 from the corner and started to blow on his fingers...never scored again. Can't mess w/ karma...don't any of these players watch 'Earl'. He's a very nice spot up shooter but looks lost when he puts the ball on the floor.

The board work was very impressive.

Additionally, the control and maturity he shows in the game is an asset. My hat is off to him and his playing.

I noticed this at the Rice game, and it has really made a difference in his play this year.

      Unfortunately I feel like many folks might rather watch the Notre Dame/Indiana playoff game on Friday.

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      We've shown over the last handful of seasons that we have one of the most suffocating defenses in the country. I still think the defining game of this era was the NIT semi against Wisconsin when we held them scoreless the last nine minutes of regulation.

      Ok so what's your suggestion? Don't get a QB? I'm confused as to what the end goal of your argument is. Regardless of who we get, we're going to suck? Looks like you're complaining just to complain.

      Not thrilled about playing State

      I'm looking forward to the game. In-state bragging rights up for grabs and a good built-in storyline with the two head coaches going head-to-head. Should be a lot of hype leading up to the game. I know we have a couple games on future schedules, but it would be good to rekindle the series. Give me an annual matchup against Texas State over the likes of South Alabama or any FCS opponent. I'm not going to call this a litmus test for coach Morris, but it's pretty close to one. His tenure has not gotten off to the start we were sold on. In fact it's been pretty disappointing. In two seasons, Morris has a record of 11-13 (.458). Those 11 wins have come against teams with a collective record of 45-87 (.341). His signature win is against South Alabama who finished 6-6 in the regular season this year, but did win their bowl game to finish 7-6 to become only the second team with a "winning" record he's beaten (FCS SFA at 7-5 is the other). Ouch. 2 of the 11 or 18.2% of coach Morris's wins have come against FCS opponents. 4 of the 11 or 36.4% of coach Morris's wins have come against teams named Tulsa and Temple. This is going to be an important game for coach Morris. I hate to utter these words, but is this an "opportunity" game? If we win, he will get a little bit of a lift and goodwill for the program and his tenure so far. If we lose or do so in embarrassing fashion, I think his time here is running out. Of course, I don't know how we treat bowl games anymore. They run the spectrum of meaningless exhibition games to the game that defines a coach's legacy. Should be fun.

      Sure. But this wasn't the first game I have thought this about. My knowledge of hoops is limited and I try to stay out of posting on the BB board for that reasons. Maybe it happens multiple times every game played by every team, but it seems like NT's defense forces this turnover type regularly against good and bad teams. Probably just selective memory. GMG
