I never agree with Pal. Never. Until today. Good. Ugly. Win. First taste of Top 25. I’m sure plenty of chirping from DePaul Overrated. Etc. still. Got the win. Now move on

This game won't end up in a museum but it ends up in the win column.

JimValvano once said, "A one point win on the road is a blowout." They fought hard. Played amazing defense at the end of the game. And they are learning to win. Next.
Earned a like with the title, was happy to see the post lived up.

There were plenty of excuses for losing this game but these guys toughed it out and scrapped for a win. I'll take it

It’s a beautiful thing to win an ugly game without your best player.

I feel this ugly W helps us out in the long run. Toughening it out in the end of the game, stepping up our D, and most importantly making our free throws at the end of the game.

What I love is that they get another road win (without Bouk) and this game gives Hurley plenty of fodder to really stay on top of them in practice and keep their focus with the long timespan until their next game.

Being ranked we're back to getting opponents' best/aggressive game. They want to kill us.

It's nice to see our team step up and demoralize them when they try.

UConn is back and the conference knows it, evidenced by how they're playing us. This win was a statement.

Much better than an "Ugly" loss. It could into a museum, a War Museum.

It was an ugly game. Our best player was on the sidelines. And it was a win. Enjoy the win and move forward. Hurley got this under control.
