Why did we act like we needed to fire up a shot asap there. We had a whole damn shot clock

We’re up three.  Why do we run the same D that gives open looks at the three.  How about straight man?

Brice had a great overtime.  Not really sure he should be dribbling or making passes late in games.

If we only had a 1 that could feed some fellas

 Happy for the team to get this win.  We have to play at a high level to succeed.  I hope they can take this on the road to Eugene.

An honestly winnable couple of road games here. Back half of the schedule was always easier than the front… but we did ourselves no favors the first 10.

Cale should have taken that 3 when he was wide open

[AuroranHusker]

I have more confidence in Cale making a three than either Juwan or Rollie, tbh.

50-27 on the boards tonight. That’s….. bad.

 

Finished 58-42, so at least we ended up showing some grit to get 15 boards to their 8 to close it out. It helped us pull a victory out in the end when the chips seemed down for a good long while.
