What a weird sequence that was.

There's 16 seconds left and just a 5 point lead. Get on the line and quit fooling around

FGCU wanted a certain match up on the block, IU wanted the other.  I don't know the rule on who has to set first.

[tyappleg]

Never a doubt.

People are a little tough on Reneau. He’s never going to be great guarding on the perimeter. But he brought offense and some nice passing and was part of our best defensive lineup

X cracks me up during the FT drama he was just screaming yeah yeah yeah LOL

Great 8 minute stretch, but overall a really rough game. Ware easily the most impressive guy tonight. Not sure Malik needs to be out there to close games.

Malik basketball IQ not great

There are only two results you can have in a game ultimately.

We got hte right one.

[DChoosier]

On selection Sunday this was a W

Pat Chambers is a good coach. No way he stays at FGCU much longer if they have a good year.

Of note:  Mgbako did not have a good night and sat almost the whole second half.

Who was the first guy on the court congratulating the players out there?

Mgbako.

Galloway: 16 pts, 4 rebs, 2 assts

Reneau: 15 pts, 1 reb, 2 assts

Ware: 13 pts, 12 rebs, 4 assts, 3 blks

Johnson: 14 pts, 4 rebs, 1 asst

That shot of Mgbako being the first off the bench was an encouraging sign. I also saw him clapping for his teammates in his extended minutes on the bench. That’s notable.

I think he thought it would be a struggle.
