It's rainin' threes...

Yeah, we were on track for a 107-0 win until that happened...

Wow! That was close. Game On!

I suspect there's a certain amount of adjustment that Woody is going through still. Not from an X's and O's standpoint, but understanding what to expect from 19-22 year old kids. Unlike the young players he coached in the NBA, these kids aren't professional level talents. He's learning just how much can be coached into a kid versus how much is raw talent. Establishing his culture and system is as much about recruiting as it is coaching. IMO, he's done quite well instilling a focus on defense and trying to get them to play a pro style offense, but every player on this roster has a "achilles heel" part of their game. We as fans sometimes have unrealistic hope that after a great win the players will have turned a corner when it's the same players with the same faults. Finding a way to play to each player's strengths is the challenge. I would be remiss if I failed to beat my deceased equine on the need for better, more consistent shooters (lol).

yeah. I know our defense gave them a lot of open looks, but I don't believe for a minute that if we got that many wide open looks we'd make anywhere near that percentage. Maybe it's an unrealistic wish on my part but it seems like I've been pleading to get a lights out shooter for a long, long time. One positive about today - we're not "peaking" too early in the season...

Well. Maybe getting embarrassed at home can provide some motivation. IDK. We're a team that just isn't capable of playing well on any kind of consistent basis. Fortunately that applies to most of the teams in our league.

Man, I gotta say there was 1 play where I was focusing on him and just like you say, he just abandoned the player he was guarding for a wide-open 3.

Race Thompson should NEVER shoot from beyond the arc unless the shot clock is about to expire. What's his % - like 12%?

Perfect time for Trayce to be The Dominator.

Getting blown out is what happens when your opponent is unconcious from 3-pt range and your 3-pt shooters are simply unconcious....

Just to bolster our chances, I suggest installing a nice sauna in Cook Hall if there isn't one already.

Shades of "Emily Litela"....

Couldn't ask for a better atmosphere or outcome to woo recruits.

The previous 4 seasons were MY definition of "embarrassing" - not this.

Mike Woodson delivered the game that should have been played when RMK returned to Assembly Hall instead of the embarassment that was...

I'd add Gallo & Durr. We don't win if they didn't contribute.

Yeah, that accidental tip-in kept haunting me down the stretch.

Rob P for president!!!! I generally would be embarrassed over storming the court for a win against PU, but it has to be chapping their fans collective @$$ - so storm away!

TJD with the opportunity for some measure of redemption

He's been good & bad. The cold truth is TJD gave nothing tonight.

Bad part of the game to go ice cold.

Yep, the synciing is a pain..

Fisch is in fine form...

X!

Aand there's the obligatory video of the chair toss....
