We were bound to have this type of game eventually

Lets not over react if we lose. This team is having a great year imo. Evan cuse this year lost to temple. Obviously like how after every game we will point out how soft we are and how we have no size/bigs. We just are having a bad day shooting and a rough day on defense, but that's fine.

Not worried about missing shots, I agree it was bound to happen. But the effort by some is not as expected, getting beaten to every loose ball and not defending 2-on-1 fast breaks!

I agree that this team has exceeded expectations but in reality this game is exploiting a bigger issue that needs to be addressed before next season. We can't just settle to shoot outside shots. Teams have figured out how to stop us. Play a zone and we are completely ineffective. If we don't ge someone, ANYONE, who can play inside, we are in trouble.

And we won.....

I'm surprised we haven't had more games like the first half. To my knowledge, we've had 3 bad halves and went 1-2 in those games. W today and Ls at home against UL (bad 2nd half) and away at Pitt (bad 1st half).

For a team where few had high expectations, they've exceeded mine ten-fold.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Agreed. 5-3, and only a game out of 1st place. Ollie is doing an amazing job. If only we could be as "dominant a program as Syracuse"

Another great game for us Husky fans. Love these guys. No RJ negativity today OK guys. Bazz was lights out in OT. They believe they will win and play there butts off to do it.

RJ made a couple real nice plays and kept balls alive.

He was so close to having a good game. He made good drives and came very close (but no cigar) on 3 shots. Two of those go down as they were early in year and that would have been a big lift. No more 3 pointers, please. Oh, and he can be a surprisingly good defender. He moves his feet well for his size.

I agree. In addition he got jobbed on a great tie up. Given a foul instead. He also got hosed on a no call that should have been goal tending.
