Florida International (2/6/10)

It sounded like a great effort with a lot of determination at the end to win.

I am still real concerned about us in the tournament due to lack of bench production. A first round bye is crucial.

Yeah, our inside guys and TT are solid if not great, but we've got to get either Thomas or Mangrum going well from the outside if we're going to get the point production we're going to need down the road. Of course it would help if Josh starts shooting lights out as well. Very nice road win regardless. Good to see Alzee starting to contribute well the last couple of games.

According to the official Mean Green Sports release, the NT women BB team "had the touch from 3-point, but a resilient Florida International squad held off NT, 72-55..."

Now, according to the definition above...HOW is a 72-55 thrashing indicative of the winning team being resilient??? Me confused... :blink:

I'm very happy to see that we beat FIU today. I still haven't fully recovered from that home game absurdity vs FIU. I may be able to show my face back at the pit sometime soon. Fire away at my lack of super fandom.

Shannon Shorter is such a important, key player now.... decent scorer... but his real role is as 2nd field general next to White.... Shorter had 5 assists today with no turnovers... I wish JJ would embrace his offensive slashing abilities a bit more... I still see Shorter get frustrated from time-to-time when he make his cut to the basket and doesn't get the ball...

Also, Cam Spencer is starting to make solid contributions.... he looks faster and has cut down the errors, though he is still very prone... great rebounding contribution today (6 rebounds and 1 assist in 11 minutes). One thing I noticed at the FAU game is that his moves are getting faster...Cam did a Odufuwa-like blazingly fast spin move to basket that was so quick I initially mistaked him for Odufuawa....this is nice change from his slow as mud moves. Wouldn't that be great if Cam turns into another 6'8" 250Lb post player that can give some quality minutes, if not this year, then maybe the next...
